The “controller gone bad” video is pretty cool. I am gonna have to try that.
Agreed — but I think the scoring with the firearms should depend on the accuracy.
Rob, this sounds like a great “Beyond the Box” opportunity…
yeah we should totally add shooting to our wods.
We could set something similar in house:
Just replace shooting with hitting balls in the batting cage. We could pretest our accuracy fresh and then throw it into the end of a WOD and see how you do against the same number of pitches at the same speed and trajectory.
Today’s an odd day. No seriously…

Warm-Up:x210 Squats10 Ring Dips5 Forward Rolls
AMRAP 12m, DL/Pull as Rx’d (DL scaled up 5#)DL 225
10 Rounds plus 3 Deadlifts
Broke up the pull-ups to 3’s and 2’s after the third round to spare my hands. Worked well.
Also,I’ve been gradually increasing the number of ring dips in my warm-up, this is the first time that doing two sets of 10 strict ring dips is no where near taxing.Week 1 3x5week 2 3x7week 3 2x9week 4 2×10
I’ve kept the volume consistent but increased the total number completed in a set
WOD.
8.13 rx’d
was debating scaling down and decided not to. a lot of my thrusters were for shite, got to practice those.a fun WOD.
wod as rx’d with 45#db11:11
7:30 as rx’d. felt great to be back after two weeks off. enjoyed the recent egg article margie wrote a lot! egypt is a pretty carb-tastic country from a culinary perspective, but have been eating very clean since we got back. tonight we had okra w/onions and garlic, eggs, and a plantain for dessert.
Wrist is still hurting so scaled back to 35lb dumbells.26″box6:41
Great to have Jacinto back in Brooklyn!
If anyone is up for the control gone bad with baseball – I will pitch batting practice. Sounds like fun!

the box jumps killed me and i had to step up a few times which kinda felt a little like cheating.
great work jules – way to scale up!

75lb thrusters. 28 Inch box.8:56.
Played with bigger jumps afterwords, tons of fun.
Thank you Felix and Dan for the push, those thrusters required it.
Welcome back Sarah & Paul!
10lb db, 25 inch box jump. Using light weight for my shoulder, but ended up changing from thrusters to squat jumps after 15 thrusters. 7:20.
Post-WOD play-time, worked up to 41 inch box jump – I think that’s fourteen little black mats stacked on the folded ones we were using as box-jump stations. Terrific fun – especially watching Jeremy float.
40 lb db, 24″ box
6:41
28″ seemed kind of high, but I probably should have gone for it. Thrusters weren’t the greatest, gotta work on those.
As Rx’d6:00
Felt slow today. Still kinda tires and sore from this weekend and the weeks activities.
5:50 as RX’d (40lbs dumbbells and 28″ box jumps)
Pre-WoD run: 620mPost-WoD run: 620mThen playtime on the 40inch box jumps.
WoD notes:First round of thrusters: unbrokenSecond round of thrusters: 5/5/5Final round of thrusters: unbroken
Had initial concerns about my shoulder holding up to the dumbbells at this weight, but was really pleased with the results (surprised myself).
Box jumps were slow as my legs felt heavy from the thrusters.
Future goals:Unbroken thrusters all the way through.Faster Box-Jump cycle time.Sub 5.
Star Trek was awesome.
hey, no fair, you made us morning people do burpees too!
star trek==awesome!
DaveM– I forgot to pay you! I suck. I’ll pay you on Sat.

Let’s meet at Grand Army Plaza.
21 15 9, 70 lbs, 24″ box jumps Time 11:20. Great to see another old guy in the house. My wife enjoyed meeting some of you at the movie last night. She was surprised by how “normal” everyone was:)
I wanna order some kettle bells and stuff from muscle driver- if anyone’s also interested, contact me and maybe we can work out a volume discount
12:40 rx’dBlah time – I don’t feel I’m making strides on the cardio front. Felt really gassed. Great motivation from everyone, though… thanks.
David M — how were the thrusters? You may have wanted to go lighter (65lbs) so you can go faster. Then step it up in weight slowly while trying to maintain your speed.
Dan — probably a good idea, I have to try to get out of my ego. The thrusters felt great for the first 15 or so and then I started to lose it in the legs; Couldn’t get a good boost and ended up muscling it up which stressed my shoulders and started screwing my form. At that point I felt gassed and had a hard time with the cardio.
