Fight Gone Bad is seventeen minutes total. Anyone who has ever done it can agree that those are the worst seventeen minutes of their life. Today we can compare and contrast Fight Gone Bad scores from the Games competitors and shed some more light on who is possibly the fittest.
The average score among males is 392. Pat Barber, who took fourth last year, has the top score with 463. Chris Spealler is right on his tail with 459.
On the female side, the average is 334. In this category, the top scores belong to Games newcomers, including Christy Phillips with 445, and Sarah Dunsmore with 415.

Hey everyone-
Since there are so many variables to FGB, I thought I would post all the loads for mine. So right from my workout log, I present the following:
4/1/09:
When we did it at Primal for the Athletes for a Cure benefit in September(I got 372 that time)we used the standards dictated on the site for that. So I did the same this time around:
"The CrossFit workout will be 'Fight Gone Bad'. In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. This event calls for 3 rounds. The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. On call of 'rotate,' the athlete/s must move to next station immediately for good score. One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is one point. The stations are:
Wall-ball, 8 ft target (Reps)
Deadlift high-pull (Reps)
Box jump (Reps)
Push-press (Reps)
Row (Calories)
Class B: Modified Men/Standard Women = 55 lb PP and High Pull, 14lb Wall Ball and 20in Box ***I used a 12lb Wall Ball (we don't have a 14lb one)***
My rounds went like this:
Round 1
SDHP- 35
Box Jump- 49
Push Press- 35
Row- 11
WallBall- 33
Total- 163
Round 2
SDHP- 31
Box Jump- 40
Push Press- 35
Row- 11
WallBall- 30
Total- 147
Round 3
SDHP- 30
Box Jump- 32
Push Press- 32
Row- 11
WallBall- 30
Total- 135
Total: 445
Can't believe the Games area almost here! So psyched!

I know it's a technicality, but FGB is actually 17 minutes. That additional minute would suck, unless it was an extra rest interval between the wallball and SDLHPs. :)

I was there to record all of Christy's reps and I just wanted to say that despite the lighter ball and shorter target, I'm very confident that she would have scored over 400. I know it's rash to make such an assumption, but working with her on a daily basis since January, I have no doubts about her capabilities.
And to echo everyone above me, Pat is a beast.

Great work Christy. That is an amazing FGB score. Just imagining that number of reps is making me a little sick.I can't even fathom the coordination it takes to get 49 box jumps in a minute. Way to go. Looking forward to meeting you at the games.
