  3. Congratulations to Jacinto and Jeremy on their stunning performances! Can’t imagine anything else that would be more motivating.

    No real breakfast today. Just a protein drink plus some fruits and vegetables because I’m on a trip across Europe again and haven’t found a possibility to cook more or less healthy dishes.

    However, my current hotel provides a CF-friendly gym:

    3 rounds for time ofSquats 5 @ 202Push Ups 10Thrusters 10 @ 78Sit Ups 20(10:27 min)

    Additional exercises:Pull Ups (close grip) 3x 5bent over laterals 2x 10 @ 15

  4. Damn I miss the first workout where we work on our chesticles.

    Breakfast:2 Cinnamon Buns (shared some with my nephew)handful of left over pulled pork from dinner (my brother looked at me strange, he doesn’t get the zone thing)Glass of milkHandful of cashews

    I am very sore.

  5. Forgot to add that I get back Tuesday night and will be spending the rest of the week on the beach. Anyone who wants to ditch work is more than welcome to come along.

  6. Jeremy – count me in . I can’t stand the thought of wearing anything more than a bikini these days. So I’ll be hanging on the beach as much as possible!

    SUNDAY – Who’s in for Slip-n-Slide, Dodgeball and Live music at McCarren Park Pool after class???

    Lets get a group together and do it!

  7. Jeremy -A day at the beach would do me some good. Going to see if I can get a day off this week.

    Jacinto & Jeremy – Congrats on your performance at the games!!!

  9. Hey, how about instead of going to the beach we all hide out in painfully cold cubicles surrounded by whirring computers?

    Anyone? Anyone?

    Well I guess I get that all to myself.

    I decided to try doing Fran as RX’d for the first time today. 9:16! Beating my previous time with 80# thrusters by 10 seconds!

    I’m going to eat leftover BBQ in celebration.

  10. I’m back! In horrible shape, but back.

    Bench press – 95×5, 135X5, 155X5, 175X5.

    Crapped out on the Turkish Get-ups.

  11. 135/155/175/185/195/205/215f/215f

    I’ve been waiting to do max bench for a while, hoping for bodyweight. Really happy to get it today.

    Now I’m really looking forward to a rest day tomorrow; that was a fun but brutal weekend.

  13. lots of fooling around with turkish get ups, windmills, k2e and pullups.

    Then my very first max bench:90,95,100,102,105f95x3

    I felt so… Dude-like.

  14. missed out on this one…. it’s rent and bills week so i’ll be doing the WOD’s at the gym :(and focusing on kung-fu and escrima for the next week.

    see yall next monday!!

  15. 135,155,175,205,225,235,245(pr)250(fail)tgu’s, windmills. Those are great movements. Pushup ladder(12)

    Don’t worry Margie. I was looking at your arms during a press attempt..u still got chick arms!

  17. Margie, 102 is a quite a load for a first time attempt. Way to go!

    Erik, you did pretty well, too. What is a Push Up Ladder?

  18. Hey Andy,

    A pushup ladder is, with a stopwatch running, you do 1 push-up during the first 30 seconds. During the second 30 second block, you do 2 push-ups. With every 30 second block, you increase your reps by one and you see how high you can get. Needless to say, they get a lot tougher as you go on and you have less time to rest during the 30 second blocks.Rather a lot of fun, if you ask me.

  20. A gym day for me…

    Bench Press:60, 65, 65 Failed twice, 60, 60, 60 (damn the lack of fractional plates there!)

    Front Squat:45×3, 65×3, 75×3, 85×3, 95×3

    Plus some pushups on bench, assisted pull-up and attempted knees to elbows.

    Margie – 102?! damn girl! 😀

  22. Bench Press:

    135, 155, 165, 185, 205, 215, 225, 230 (f)

    225 was a fight i won. 230 was a fight i lost. i think i have it though.

    This weekend’s WOD(s):Fran-8:02. Chin over barRun: 6:30DL/Burpee: 8:59 (@ 225#)-My knee killed on this one. I want to shave a BIG chunk of time off this kind of WOD in the future.

  24. “I’m in Brooklyn” wouldn’t have been enough information I suppose.

    Kinda bummed I’m not doing Angie tomorrow, been looking forward to doing that one or Cindy since we got a bar, used to say the same of Fran but I had enough of her (or her evil twin) this weekend.

  25. oh, and for those that don’t check the main site (crossfit.com) regularly PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE watch the video posted today of Kallista Pappas’ performance from the Games.

    It’s absolutely amazing.

  27. Just watched the video of Kallista Pappas’ performance at the games…WOW!!! That girl is amazing. Everyone should check out the video

  28. I second Shane’s plea. I have to say it almost made me weep.

    Of course, I am sitting at my desk wishing I were anywhere but at this crappy job, so seeing that kind of effort is doubly inspiring.

  31. today:

    warm up3 rounds for time25 Double Unders25 situps

    Bench press135, 155, 175, 195, 205, 210, 215, 220 (pr-i think)

    I may have to do this over cause the two yahoos I had spot me on the last couple reps seem to think “to spot” means “to actively help with this guy’s press.” So annoying. So I think I had those last few, but they might need a Barry Bonds-style asterik!

  32. Three rounds for time ofDB Swings 10@62lbsPull Ups 5(6:55 min)

    Plus Erik’s Push Up Ladder (9 rounds)

    I did DB Swings the very first time and honestly didn’t expect them to be that hard. Felt the impact on my core muscles right after the first round.

  33. Angie

    22:19

    4 minute PR. Push-ups were the slowest. LOVE the pull-up bar and the chalk. It’s so nice to have a thick bar to hang on after all the thin bars I’ve had to deal with the last 2 months.

    Good to be back.

  34. “Angie”: 17:28

    First 40 pull-ups unbroken then my fucking hand ripped open and the rest were very painful 10’s and 5’s.As usual, push-ups were what slowed me down the most. sit-ups and Squats were easy.

    It’s HOT today.
