Do these look like nice guys to you? Yeah. They’re not.

>> males are (cough, cough) superior

Welp. The 2014 CFUM Battle of the Sexes came down to one rep on Friday’s last class of the evening. That one rep would’ve tied the score between males and females, leaving us in a utopia where everyone’s equal. However, that one rep was lost, and males shockingly came out ahead. Here’s the breakdown: Males edged out females by about four reps at 5:45 a.m. class. Penalty: 10 man makers. Females dominated males in both the 8 and 9 a.m. classes. Penalties were 20 six-point burpees and 20 weighted sit-ups (what? so easy!), respectively. Then males came back and took the 4:30 p.m. class (pictured above). Those testosterone-fueled cronies (no offense) wanted to make our sweet-hearted women do 20 clean and jerks at 95#. So mean! We turned them down, and they agreed to implement 20 wall balls as consequence. Then, with the score up and up at 2 wins for each gender, it all came down to 5:30 p.m. class, where that single rep thanks to luck turned the tables for the men. Women had to pay the price with 20 push-ups (way to get creative, guys). Let’s be detectives and look at who coached the classes Friday. Moral of the story: When Frank judges, men win; when I judge, females win. CFUM women demand a rematch!

++ Great work to everyone who came out on D-Day! Thanks for making it super fun

It’s that time again: AT CFUM, we like to celebrate Valentine’s Day with a good, old-fashioned battle of the sexes. Girls rule and boys drool; or boys drool and girls rule. We will find out with each passing hour. Here’s how this year’s battle is gonna go down:

• Each class will have a winning and nonwinning (i.e. losing) gender, complete with  punishment/consequence/public humiliation incentive.

• Highest and lowest score will be factored into scoring.

• Top male score will be combine with lowest male score; and top female score will be combine with lowest female score to find winning gender in each class.

• If there is only one person representing his/her gender, his/her score will be doubled to find overall class score.

• Nonwinning/losing gender will be subject to 20 reps of the winning team’s choosing, with coaches approval and within reason.
