  1. Vacation WOD #24 RoundsBeach Run (~200m I think)25 Pushups25 Squats

    Squats were harder than I would have thought on the sand, I kept pitching forward on to my toes. My niece kept asking “Why Unca Jeomy running fast.” Apparently crossfit is no easier to explain to a 2 year old than anybody else.

    Kinda pissed that I keep missing the 1RM bench press days.

  2. hit up Crossfit Jenks out here in OK.WOD: Fran as rx’d

    6:39

    Round 1 got all thrusters and pullups unbroken in 0:45Round 2 broke thrusters into 5-5-5, started to hit the wallRound 3 thruster were TOUGH, 2-3-2-2, last rep was questionable on the lockout, pullups I’m not sure how I broke them up

    This was the first time that I felt the thrusters were harder than the pullups. Just a rough day I guess, this was 49 seconds slower then my last PR. Really great crew out at Jenks though, was a lot of fun!

  6. 185, 195, 200F, 200, 205F, 205F, 200F

    The last one was very close. The same can’t be said for the attempts at 205.

    Dips: 9, 6, 6

    Ring hang: 37 seconds

    My chest was still sore from Cindy yesterday.

    Happy Holidays to everyone!

  7. Visited Crossfit Durham today. They’ve got a great space and it was great to be able to do a WOD here in the Durham area for the first time! Looking forward to spending a good amount of time there over the next two weeks.

    bench155, 175, 185, 190Fthats as far as i went without a spotter. Remember kids, when benching alone, Never use collars. Bailing on bench isn’t fun or encouraged but it’s really not that bad if you control the weight.

    only got one set of dips in before my call for the NEQ. It’s going to be a great event!!

  10. Bench press – 185,215,225,235,245,255f,245

    Had a power failure twice, esp at 255. Shoulda ended at 250.

    Ring dips – 12,11,7Ring Support – 27 secBuelers – 30#, 10 each side, 1 round

    Almost didn’t show up – the cold, the fatigue. But this weekend was so inspiring. I would love it if we could send a team to Cali next summer to kick ass, so what else could I do but suck it up and show up?

    Margie, the chocolate was deliciousSteph, the apple date bar was scrumptious

    I consider those unexpected treats rewards for putting in the work

    Jeremy, are you gonna visit the Xfit down there?

    Happy holidays, See everyone this weekend

    Previous PR 102 A little too cold and tired to get back there, but I suspect I have it in me on another day,

    Andy, thanks for the bridge work – great to have you there to coach. And as for wonderful markets in Brooklyn, glad you like this one! tthat’s just a start. There are plenty more wonderful places for you to know.

    Great work Sameer!

    100 didn’t want to go up, thought i’d give it one last try w/ a wider grip and it helped but i still couldn’t get it up. first time doing a 1rm.

    HAPPY HOLIDAYS to everyone at SBK!!

  16. At Crossfit Durham again today!

    DL1-1-1-1-1-1-1

    225, 285, 315, 345, 355 (PR), 330(f), 315

    Pulled an UGLY 355 off the floor for a 10# PR but decided to after since my back was just gross on the lift.

    Needed more rest before pulling 330 again. 315 the 2nd time was fine.

  18. yeah, was using a slightly wider stance. about shoulder width. i could have stood to go widerbut also need to develop the back strength

    hey paul, yeah i’m in durham. they finally have a CF here and it’s a great place to train! they just got started in august and have a great thing going and are looking to grow in the new year.

    i’ve never been to the raleigh box but would love to. they’ve been around for quite some time. i’ll hit you on facebook and maybe we can get together this weekend in raleigh!

    (2, 4-2, 6-4-2, etc)

  22. Seagram’s 7 aka Jacinto

    AMRAP in 12 minutes7 Med Ball Cleans7 Push-ups

    16 Rounds

    I think we did this at the cert in October but I feel like it wasn’t AMRAP but rather a rounds for time situation

    It was Courtney’s first class as instructor and I was honored to be her first and only student this morning. She did a great job keeping me honest on my reps and cheering me on.

    Happy Holidays to All!

  23. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE.

    Check out Crossfit.com. Outstanding video of Gillian doing Dizzy Diane and a big plug for David and CrossFit South Brooklyn.
