2 Reps On The Minute For 10 Minutes
Add 5-10lbs from last week.  Focus on a tight bottom position and explosiveness off the box.

Post loads to comments.
(e/8) compare to 2.2.2
 
12 Minutes NFS (not for score) of:
12 Reverse Barbell Lunges
12 Hollow Rocks
6 V-Ups with a :03 hold at the top

The barbells come off the deck in this triplet.  Choose a load that challenges your strength and balance for the lunges, every rep should like identical. Focus on total body tightness for the gymnastics movements.

New York Academy of Sciences

CFSBK would like to shout out another one of our sponsors from FGB6 this year.  Our own Erica N provided one lucky competitor (David Mak) with 2 tickets to a scientific lecture presented by the NYAS.  To learn more about

  4. Catch up post…

    FGB: 390…PR by about 32 reps, was pretty happy with this…400+ was my real goal tho…next year!

    3 rep max push press: 115 – 135 – 145 – 155 (PR) – 160 (failed on the 3rd rep)

    Tabata Double unders: 280 overall and 31 was the lowest round.

    Wodded with the old man in South Jersey this morning… medley of rowing, burpees and kb swings 😛

    The Flickr photos are awesome! I think I saw a picture of Rob Is doing a SDLHP to a foot above his head…STRONG LIKE BULL!!!

  5. MISSING: gray Pendlay DO-WIN Weightlifting Shoes

    My feet are lonely. Anyone see my shoes? They went missing from the changeroom sometime between Thursday evening (9/15) and Tuesday evening (9/20). They call the inside shoe case home (bottom half, top row, left box.) They're in new condition – unfortunately no markings (my bad).

    Thanks, guys!

  6. More From CrossFit Alamo:

    "My name is Dominic, I am a tribe member from Alamo Crossfit. I just wanted to say how cool it was to compete so heatedly with your Gym to raise money for FGB6.

    I also thought it was really classy and in true crossfit/fundraiser spirit to leave such a great message on our blog.

    I love that the Crossfit community can see that winning is secondary to growth. I hope to have the opportunity to WOD with you someday.

    Thanks and God bless
    Dominic Oviedo"

  8. 1. Impressive Lynne performance by Lipson, He reps out 32 reps at 205 on the bench. Not in the video but more impressive is Danny Nichols who reps out 21 reps at 240lbs.

    2. Ive been watching all the behind the scenes at the games videos. In my opinion these might be more interesting than watching the games themselves. Really interesting to hear all the athletes speak candidly about their training, the events and everything in between. The last video they put up was my favorite as you see everything leading up to the final events.

  9. Nino:
    I'll be Prowling Friday at around 7:15pm– it would be great if you joined me!
    Also, you can reach me at robis-AT-robis.org so we can coordinate in the future….

  10. i seriously need a dietary intervention, i am shoveling crap into my body like i want to kill myself

    or

    alternatively, someone

    tell me it's OK and once these last two days of my helljob are over, i can fix my diet.

    thanking you.

  12. Warm-Up
    Some Foam Rolling and Right Wrist Distraction

    3 Rounds
    10 Russian Swings, 2pood
    10 GHD Sit-Ups
    10 Body Rows on the bar

    Box Squat
    (45×5, 95×5, 115×5, 135×2)
    145x2x12 OTM

    3 Rounds of:
    24 Reverse Lunges in FSQ Rack, 85lbs
    12 Hollow rocks > 6 V-Ups

    The Hollow Rock V-Up was a little too easy, I should have scaled it up to 24 and 12 I think. The Lunges were very difficult

    3×10 GHD Hip Extensions with Band Resistance (nice pump in the P-Chain!)

    Sleep has not been great due to poor self control and a pesky mosquito situation. Today felt like a solid training day, Don't think I could have mustered enough energy to do a metcon.

  16. Thanks for the shout-out! If anyone is ever interested in coming to one of our events, definitely drop me a line!

    Michele, it will totally get better/easier once the helljob is over – plus it's only a couple days! Also, congratulations!

  17. Box squats @ 145, felt good, quick and strong.

    Three rounds of acc work with lunges at 75 (which got heavy around rep 20)

    1 long round of feeling bad — Baz, I owe you a treat of your choosing (I offered a ride home and totally spaced after class…I claim lack of oxygen to the brain but it’s no excuse).

  21. Box Squats
    180x2x10
    Felt snappy. Need to keep c-spine in neutral.

    Acc Work
    3 RNFT
    12 Hollow Rock
    6 V-up 2 sec hold
    8 GHD Hip Extentions with blue and red bands (at DOs behest)

    David – that was what I forgot to tell you, my hammies will be pissed tomorrow.

    I wish I was as strong as those small Chinese women.

  23. Box Squat: 95
    Accessory work: approximately 3 rounds of 12 each leg front-rack lunge with 45 pound bar, 12 hollow tucks, 6 V tucks.

    For some reason tonight's accessory work wiped me! Box squats felt good although rounds 1-9 I think I was coming off the box too quickly. Next time I hold it for a few seconds before coming up.

  24. Warmup 2

    Box Squats:
    (45×5, 75×5, 95×3, 115×2)
    work: 125x2x10
    -man am I loving these box squats. still feeling quick and "snappy" as Fox put it. really feeling it in all the right spots. But, I seem to be doing this crazy neck thing at the end that I need to clean up. Thanks Noah for pointing that out.

    Accessory Work:
    -3 rounds even.
    -used 55lbs for the reverse lunges and that was challenging. 1st round unbroken, 2nd round in 2 sets of 12, and last round in 3 sets of 8. my ass was killing me after these!
    -hollow rocks were ok, but v-ups were difficult. it was hard to find the right balance to be able to hold the position. ended up doing some extras when my hold wasn't legit. I like these those!

  25. Box squats at 135. Still feel fast, but a bunch of reps I was pushing onto the balls of my feet. Accessory work was a mixed bag. Hollow rocks are still a work in progress, slowly improving. I ran out of V-ups pretty early in the proceedings. Oy.

    That footage of Yang Lian dropping 100kg (?) on her thigh is some scary stuff.

  26. Box squat 125x2x10

    was tired today, things just didn't feel as smooth and strong like they were last week. I still managed to bounce the bar off my back at the end, so I'm still getting speed on the up, but it just felt a little funky today, kind of like I wasn't in sync with my body. I only increased by 5lbs from last week, because I was trying to not overdo it.

    reverse lunges: funky. hollow rock: doing good. v-ups: love 'em. I could hold those for a long time.

    hammered my inner thighs for 3-4 minutes on each side w/foam roller. that shiz really hurts still. must. do. more.

    extra credit: carried a couch up 3 flights of stairs.
