  1. Great Job on the Fundraising. Just remember if you want to see DH3 with #brooklyn shaved into his head, make sure he gets over $500 in donations. At 400 now.

    Worked out at San Francisco Cfit yesterday, met KStarr.. Really nice guy, super cool, super bro. Whats cool abt cfit sf, they bring it in at then end of each class.

    we did 5,5,3,3,1,1 reps of strict press at 95, 135,145,155,165,170F

    then wod was 3rds of c&j @115 with 24 inch boxjumps. 5:40. All c&j unbroken.

    LIVE ANYWHERE: BARCELONA. EASIER

  2. Puerto Rico. I really love it down there. I love the warmth of the people probably more than anything, but I love the food, the music, the beaches, the golf, the parties, the dancing, I just love it all.

  3. I never should have looked at the heats last night as I dreamt of Lady Fox laughing and throwing bumpers yelling "dance monkey dance" at me. Jesus Christmas…

    Live anywhere? A random drawing of my favourite places… Santa Cruz, Tenerife wins. If it magically disappears for some reason then Barcelona.

  4. I don't know, but it would be somewhere with a higher economic freedom index!

    Did yesterday's WOD. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I had a choice between back squats and something else, and I chose something else, mostly because I know I suck at cleans and would like to suck less.

    Jess made the excellent observation that I have a death grip on the bar when I clean, which is why I can't get my elbows around fast enough. I'm hoping for more cleans in the next cycle, so I can really work on releasing the bar.

  5. Stella…go figure! I was doing cleans yesterday and noticed midway through that as I got more tired and my elbows came around easier that I was probably also gripping the crap out of the bar during the first half of the workout…

  7. I really did think if Stella answered, that she'd say Hong Kong or Singapore. Close enough. Here's the economic freedom index:

    1. Hong Kong
    2. Singapore
    3. Australia
    4. New Zealand
    5. Switzerland
    6. Canada
    7. Chile
    8. Mauritius
    9. Ireland
    10. United States.

  9. Just wanted to say a belated thank you to David for posting the apple seeds membership raffle to the blog on Saturday. Today is the last day to buy tickets – $5 each and 100% of proceeds benefit FGB fundraising. If someone from CFSBK wins I will add in a FREE upgrade to our green apple membership which gives unlimited access to both of our play spaces. See Saturday's post for more details!

    If I had to pick a place it would probably be Costa Rica.

  13. Great 6am with Jess & McDowell. Did tomorrow's workout:
    3×5 BSQ @165. These felt nice and solid, very focused on form esp in the 3rd set
    4 rounds NFR
    1:00 push press @ 55 (20, 15, 15, 15)
    1:00 row for calories (15, 10, 10, 12)
    The transitions were super slow so the rows were really only 35 seconds or so.

    Oooh, HARD to choose. Paris, I think. Rio second. Also on the list: Scandinavia, London, Beirut (in more peaceful times).

    Love that Canada outranks the US in "economic freedom." Universal health care!

  15. I'd head somewhere in southwest Germany, probably. Or Copenhagen–understated beauty, gorgeous architecture, bike friendly, and full of CF boxes I'm sure….

  16. Hey y'all – do any of you amazing strong people have time to help me move a couch from Midtown East to my Prospect Heights apartment this afternoon (around 4?). I can compensate you well for your time in both beer and food and also possibly hugs.

  18. Forgot to write this in my notebook, make-up post from yesterday:

    Worked up to 93# for 2 on HPC

    Then, 3 rounds of 16 reverse lunges with 35# plate, 16 knee push-ups, and 16 hollow rocks. Must. Do. More. Push-ups. I feel like I'm back to Day 1 on lack of upper body strength.

  21. I want to move to Iceland, have a goat farm and better learn cheese making. I also (out of pure curiosity) want to take some classes at the elf university, and if I hone my medium abilities, have a lot of half elf babies. The end.

    Hong Kong is nice too. I love pork buns and milk tea.

  23. Anyone recommend a box in SFO that I can go to tomorrow morning? I'm staying on downtown SFO so somewhere local would be good – and somewhere that accepts drop ins.

    Thanks in advance

  25. back to the motherland, somewhere in the italian countryside. when i was on vacation there in may i got an offer to muck horses in moncucco torinese, maybe i'll take that up but find some way around the mucking horses part, i'm not even entirely sure what that entails.

  26. From Dog Day Afternoon (1975) – two bank robbers – played by Al Pacino and John Cazale have taken a group of hostages in a bank branch (Windsor Terrace(!)) and are negotiating with the police.
    Sonny: Is there any special country you wanna go to?
    Sal: Wyoming.
    Sonny: Sal, Wyoming's not a country.

    So, Jackson Hole. First round at the Mangy Moose in Jackson Hole is on me.

  27. Dave, I had a good experience at K-Star's box (CrossFit San Francisco) — it is in the Presidio, though, kind of far removed from everything. So if you don't have a car, it'll be like a $25 cab ride one way from downtown SF, yikes!

  29. 7 am with McDowell did the back squats #135 and the rowing piece 2 x 14'/5' @ 16. I think my body is still adjusting to the morning class – woke up at 3:30 am and never got back to sleep. So squats were UGLY but the they got up.

    For countries I have been pretty darn lucky and lived in a fair few – so I can live anywhere for a bit. If I was to do it again I would have to say Euro town is pretty but it can get boring. Asia and Africa are both freakin' awesome and adventurous enough to keep me entertained (I like Africa's wilderness but Asia has FAR better street food). Aussies and Kiwi's are fun. I would do South/Central America if I wanted a life of diving and got over being lazy to the point I could learn one more language.

    Also I have been to Wyoming a lot, trust me it might as be another country.

  31. I'd go to Mexico. At whatever beach they ended up in Y Tu Mama Tambien.

    Worked up to 85# on LBBSq. i feel like i could do a lot more if it didnt bother my shoulders so frackin much. Total of 60 push presses at 55#, 44 cals on erg. But it's not the push presses or rowing I'm worried about….

  32. @ Dave E – LaLanne Fitness is the CF closest to downtown SF, I think. I had a good experience when I dropped in there a few months back. Just call or e-mail in advance.

  33. In Los Angeles right now. Of all the places I would least like to live, this takes the cake. By a landslide. international or not.

    Place I would most like to live outside the US: London….like now…specifically Hoxton.

    #westhamtillidie

  34. Couldn't make the morning classes so I did a 12pm. See Melissa I'm still alive. Will I get to more than 1 more class this week? We will see.

    Cleans: 135, 145, 115, 125, 135, 145

    Started too heavy so I dropped down on the cleans.

    1×14' @ 16SPM @ 2:18.7 @ 3040m @ 125 HR
    (5min rest)
    1×14' @ 16SPM @ 2:21.4 @ 2972m @ 140 HR

    First day after a week off. Took awhile to get my stroke rate consistent then I realized I couldn't keep a 2:15 pace throughout so I went with 2:20. Need to work on keeping my consistency throughout the entire piece.

  36. I just finished an hour long birthday party for 9 seven year olds. We played "CrossFit 7 Pin Bowling", "CrossFit Dodgeball" and the "CF Infantry Obstacle Course"

    Holy hell kids are a handful but I was really happy with how I did considering it's not a population I work with.

    Also I would live somewhere in Holland I think.

  38. @DO, Den Haag is like Amsterdam with a beach, if that's your thing.

    I've always enjoyed myself while traveling, but I've also always been excited to return to Brooklyn, so I've never had the bug to move elsewhere. If I HAD to move, it would probably be to another metropolis at this point in my life. I can see myself in Hong Kong or Singapore maybe. Give me a few years and I'm sure I'll be ready for a farm, a remote beach, or just a cabin in the woods…

    Off schedule this week with some extra weekend FGB practice so I took yesterday off and came in today for the clean workout.

    Kept the complex at 135 throughout since I also did heavy cleans on Sunday.

    NFT work was definitely enough to tire out all the muscle groups involved, went 35, 45, 55, 55 on the lunges. I forgot how much the isometric overhead work tires out the shoulders. Between the SDHPs and OHS warmups and those, I'm definitely feeling it.

  39. I loved Barcelona and the Spanish lifestyle. It's hard for me to say I'd want to live there because I know what the unemployment rate is, and y'know, a bitch needs to earn.

    ————————————————————————————

    Tonight's workout: Bench 1-Rm

    I tied my all-time 1-RM tonight so I am pretty pleased – bench is my biggest goat. Thanks a bunch to Rob Is for spotting and coaching me.

  40. Today's question is tough and as I read I kept finding myself saying "yea! I'll live there!"

    My first thought was Ambergris Caye off of Belize. Basically to be by the ocean and scuba. Later I realized I may prefer snowboarding and Vancouver would give me the city life AND Whistler. I could also move back to my birthplace, Freeport, Bahamas. I've never been, but Holland entered my mind (civil, not economic liberties) and I loved Paris. Italy? Hell yes!

    I need to do some more traveling. I like going back to the same places, but I there are too many places I haven't been. It seems the wish list is getting longer, not shorter.

    Strength Cycle…

    Close Grip Bench: Basic warmup and then 185x4x5

    Squat: 235x3x3
    Felt good. As Michele predicted, I'm definitely more sore today than yesterday, but not debilitatingly so. These squats were what I needed.

    Curls: 30x12x3
    Tri-roll-backs: 30x15x3
    Got an arm pump.

  42. Checked out United Barbell in SOMA today. Nice atmosphere, small spot limited space. Not much coaching, but we did a hero wod called "josh" i subbed the 95lbs ohs, for 135 front squats.

    21 fsq @135
    42 pullups
    15 fsq @135
    30 pull ups
    9 fsq @ 135
    18 pullups

    My time: 8:48

  43. Bench Press LP
    217.5×6(?)x3

    I was supremely enjoying (and distracted by) the 7 year old's Bday party happening while doing this. I think I missed reps…

    GHR
    3×12

    Dips
    4×8

    RDL, top 8
    138, 185, 235, 245×8

  44. No one will read this since I'm writing at midnite, but Papua, Indonesia in the Raja Ampat. I'd go tomorrow. I'd miss you all but you'd always have a hammock to sleep in if you chose to visit.
