We’ll give you a taste of the pistol madness with the first workout of the 2020 Flamingo Games Open. Note: In order for your qualifying time to be considered, all workouts must be recorded with a selfie stick.
135 MINUTE EMOM (AKA DEATH BY PISTOLS [...IF YOU’RE NOT A BAMF FLAMINGO]
Minute 1: 1 pistol per side
Minute 2: 2 pistols per side
Minute 3: 3 pistols per side
Minute 4: 4 pistols per side
Minute 5: 5 pistols per side
…Continue increasing your pistol count per side by one rep for 135 minutes or until the clock catches you.
Score is the last minute you completed your required reps. If you get to 135 minutes and have yet to be caught by the clock you are a total BAMF because that means you did 270 fucking pistols in a minute. The Guinness Book of World Records states that the most single-legged squats completed by a human in a minute is 52, accomplished in 2016. The record for a flamingo is 212 total reps, which is expected to be broken by Martina Fraymen, a Chilean Flamingo, in the 2020 Flamingo CrossFit Games.
Ain’t nobody can pistol like a flamingo.
