CFOT Final Results


Candace and Daniel, this fall's CFO Throwdown champions


Congrats to Candace and Daniel for winning the September CFO Throwdown.

The results of the women's division have been final for a few weeks now, but the men's champion wasn't known until this past Wednesday, which is when Daniel and Brandon went head-to-head in Grace as rx'd (this was good Big Girls Don't Cry preparation for them).

Grace is 30 reps of clean-and-jerks at 135# for time.

Brandon finished in 1:39, Daniel finished in 1:55.  And the winner?  Daniel.  You read that right, Daniel is our champion.

We ended up going to the video to determine the winner.  Much credit goes to Brandon for initiating the call for Daniel as champion.  After he reviewed the video, he saw that he was not at the full lockout position for some of his reps (arms were straight, knees were soft).  And as such, he felt that Daniel deserved to be champ (and I agree with him).

Kudos to Brandon for stepping up and showing his class as a competitor.

And congratulations to all who participated in the September throwdown!  I can't wait for the next one in January!
