  1. presses 65/75/85/90×3/85×4

    metcon: 5 +6/8/7

    i think i may have torqued my left arm a bit in the cleans, it was feeling weird on the ring dips.

    school starts again tomorrow. no more evening classes for me =(

  2. press 135/155/185/205/205x4metcon lost count I think 5 roundsAmazing how in shape everyone is!

    My flexibility sucks needs alot of work. My core is soft which was very evident when I pressed. Need to start doing planks.Jacinto your my role model bro. Jeremy pound for pound your the strongest guy I know.

    Accessory work my own:Bench press 135×30/225×15/275x10305x8/315×5/315x5Useless muscle…………

  3. press95x5 115×5 120×5 125×5 130×5 135x5felt pretty good, but need to work on keeping core solid.

    metcon8 + 8. green band on pull ups, ended up using white band for dips. cool WOd though.

  4. press: 95, 115, 120, 120×3, 120×4

    wod: 9 rounds + 1 dip. really enjoyed this wod, I think everyone doing it at the same time created some extra energy or something.

    Back Extension 12x3GHD Sit-up 12×3

  6. Did “The Bear” complex at Tony Budding’s personal gym. Got up to 120 and failed on the last damn set. I push pressed too far forward and dropped the weight.

    It’s been a very long day. Today we went to Kalipas box (CF Santa Clara), CrossFit Santa Cruz and Tony’s house. I also ate a sizeable portion of ribs and will soon be playing some more Rock Band.

    I miss everyone. Seeing all these boxes makes me realize how special our program is. Keep me updated on your progress, everyone! I check the blog all the time on my iphone for comments!

  8. skipped on presses last night. my shoulder is not happy (the dl/push up metcon proooobably not the best idea on sunday – but it was so fun!)

    going to take a mini break but stick with the front squats. see everyone thursday!

  9. I got spoiled by having Shane all to myself this fine inaugural Tuesday morning (thanks, Shane). Hadn’t done much pressing before– except the Crossfit Totals 1RM with Gillian, so I appreciated the chance to work on the technique. 32/37/45/45/48 My 3rd set was a mess, so we did a do-over. After the last set we dropped back to 42 and worked to clean it up a little more.The WOD was brutal for me… between the pullup bar being painfully cold and the wallballs with numb hands I got 4 rounds and 6 WB shy of a 5th. Not great, but I’ll take it. Tan band all the way, which made me feel better.

    next week and the one after I am back on the road… keeping my xfit and paleo going will be quite the challenge.

    glad to hear david and margie are having fun (albeit long days) but missing the crew some too. 🙂 and LOVE the video, Gillian!!!

  10. Shoulder Press 65; 75; 85; 95; 100Still keeping it light to focus on form.

    Did 6 rounds of the WOD but had to scale the pull ups down to 6 reps. Nevertheless I follow the mainstream and say it was fun! More of met cons like that, s’il vous plait.

    Margie, kilos rule!

  12. Had a great time in class last night! Good

    Shoulder PressHad initially struggled to find the right weight for the 5×5 presses.

    Checked out a site with the 1rep max charts (http://www.timinvermont.com/fitness/orm.htm)

    I admit I was skeptical when I entered my PR of 140 and 120 was the recommended weight for 5×5. They must know something, as it ended up being the right weight.

    Results: 115×5, 120×5, 120×4,120×5,120×4

    felt like a challenging weight. Here’s hoping I break body weight for the press at some point this year!

    The mini-WOD was sweet! Started on ring-dips, managed 9 rounds + 6, 8, 8. Two more wallballs… Grr… Wallball. Completely my weakness, glad they came up because I need lot of practice!

    Hope that shoulder heals up Stephanie — take good care of it!

    David, Margie, sounds like a lot of work along with it being a long day. Glad that you’re finding some time to enjoy yourselves too. Have a good rest of your trip, and looking forward to having you guys back home!
