  1. At a not-so-bad hotel gym. It actually has a pullup bar! No bands, of course, but I'll try to stay here again next time I have to see this client, and bring my own.

    Warmup #1 with negative pullups, since I couldn't do banded pullups.

    Then I did this WOD from the bodyweight list:

    21-15-9
    lunges (both sides=1 rep)
    Situps
    Burpees

    11:08, and probably about 2/3 of that time was those damn burpees.

    (ps, autocorrect, yes, I mean burpees and not burps!)

  2. First day back in awhile – great to be in the gym!

    Grace Rx'd in 3:17

    Didn't push it too hard since I've done almost 0 metcon in the last couple of months.

  3. Glad to have made it to the end of my first crush week. Thanks Helen, Grace and Cindy. Don't come back too soon, ya hear? Grace was my favorite since it gave me my first bar-hickey. I'm wearing it proudly. So back off week…that's when I come in and someone feeds me a margarita and gives me a rub down? I guess I will settle for drinking beers after watching SBK rip Fran a new one.

  4. Good luck to everyone tomorrow in the Subway Series! Wish I could come by to cheer but I'm heading to Massachusetts later for the Deerfield Dirt Road Randonee (D2R2) tomorrow–70 or so miles of cycling on mostly dirt roads (inlcuding Cow Path 40, in Vermont!). Kick some ass!

  11. Times is reporting that the MTA will be shutting down at noon tomorrow. I suspect that by taking the subway out of the subway series, it will need to be postponed.

  12. Shutting down the train 12 hours early? WTF

    Lenny Dykstra was an Uncle of my best friend from middle school.

  15. a quiet 6am with coach shane, katie and jamie.

    pre WU
    droms

    WU
    3 Rounds of:

    15 Hollow Rocks

    10 DB thrusters
    5 Push-Ups
    
5 Pull-Ups

    can't remember details, but it was good.

    GRACE (modified to muscle cleans and push press).
    4:03 rx'd
    was looking forward to this yesterday… but had absolutely no energy this morning, courtesy of my beautiful children.

  16. The only website more ridiculous than Nails was Ric Flair, who at the top of the market, was a mortgage broker, and had a "figure four approval process." I kid you not, they advertised it at Panther games. That website was taken down.

    Good luck folks with the subway series!

  18. As per Fox (and thanks to the MTA) the subway series has been cancelled for tomorrow. 🙁

    More details on when it will be rescheduled will follow soon.

    I say we still hit Bierkraft though!

  20. @Ian- That randonee sounds great!

    Another trail run this morning out in Colorado, land of the Long Slow Distance. No snakes, but plenty of scrambling. Good times!

    Good luck with the weather this weekend everybody!

  22. Hello all-

    I've just changed the blog to reflect the changes to tomorrow. As you can see, the SS event has been rescheduled for 9/10/11.

    Tomorrow we'll be running a normal group class schedule with the exception of No Active Recovery or Teaser class.

  23. Has there been a decision to postpone the Subway Seeies? I live in Manhattan and my SS heat is 11:15. Happy to still participate in SS, but would have to get an earlier heat to get back to city before subway shuts down. Unless someone will drive me home from the Bierkraft afterparty. Oh wait, that may not be a smart idea either…..

  24. Anybody want to go and do Fran at open gym tonight? I had so little idea what I should be aiming for tomorrow, that now it might be nice to get some idea.

  26. All, in case you didn't see the blog edits:

    also, if your'e in the hood, help Ben out and eat a half chicken! he bought a ton for the event and it would be a shame to see them go to waste!

  30. i'm going to need the gym tomorrow. the prospect of a power outage is making me a little coo-coo.

    my ban on hugs is temporarily lifted in light of this.

  31. OH MY GOD – I'm coming to the gym tomorrow specifically to hug Michele.

    And maybe do a workout.

    I guess I should be taking this hurricane more seriously and go to the grocery store tonight. SIGH. When I lived in Maine we had this terrible blizzard/ice storm and lost power for 2 weeks. Thank god we had (2) wood stoves and gravity feed plumbing/well. It was pretty awesome to sled down hills on pure ice in the middle of the road since there were zero cards out. I doubt it would be as much fun if we lost power for 2 weeks during this hurricane.. hehe..

    PS: David, forgot to punch my punch card last night – will double punch tomorrow.

  34. My WOD for the next two days will be dodging the hurricane. Seriously, I'm working all weekend covering the devastation (if it happens) and will be videotaping the whole thing. wish me luck!

  38. After a prolonged 45 minute warm up due to Rickke…Did Nasty Girls with Rickke and PR…

    8:48, first 2 rounds felt amazing, last round was a gut check

    Very happy with the muscle ups today (5 unbroken in the first set)

    Nice job to all the guys who rocked this today! Great mini competitive vibe tonight!!!

    in for BIERKRAFT…not so stoked about Fran :/

  39. Sounds like we'll be taking over Bierkraft tomorrow– fun!

    Good luck this weekend Matt! Looks like we'll have a warmer than usual nor'easter, be safe!

    Ramping back up strength from the food poisoning. Did ascending sets for squats as per Justin Lascek's Texas method protocols… Look to go 5×5 for sets across next session:
    Squat:
    45x5x3, 95×8, 135×5, 185×5 and for work:
    205×5, 215×5, 225×5, 235×5, 245×5
    Think I'll start cycle on Monday back at 245. It's easy to load and enough stimulus for now….

    Bench: reset 10%
    175x5x2
    I cut this short because I basically ran out of time. The first set was harder than I would have liked. The second set had faster bar speed.
    Was going to try to squeeze the prowler in (You know I'm committed to conditioning when I ditch a bench set for it) but then I didn't really have time for that either. Easy solution: come in Saturday and do some body weight stuff and the Prowler.

    Then Biercraft. Should be a cool pre-storm party!

  40. I'm in for lots of food and beer at Bierkraft after the 11am Fran!

    Nasty Girls with the nasty boys. Janet Jackson nasty. Thanks PR and Mike for waiting for me while I completed my diva movement preparation. (This looming hurricane has me a little saucy apparently)

    9:24 rx – about a 3 minute PR for me I think. Awesome job to everyone who went at this one tonight. Good times!

    Also, impressive squats from the strength cyclers! I was also impressed with your ability to handle the Lady Gaga for 10 minutes before it had to be changed. Baby steps…

  42. I was impressed with Jeremy's ability to handle Gaga for a full 10 min…

    Nasty Girls in 13:33?
    Not my best showing. Thanks for the support though!

    Mishik- look in your heart, you'll know what to do.

    New Tee Shirts are in! Checkacheck em out!
