In other news:
I’m selling my Gitane road bike.
It’s $150 on craigslist and $100 to a CFSBKer. (posted in the CFSBK classifieds too!)
It’s a 49cm frame, so anyone from 5’2-5’6 (maybe 5’7 if you have shorter legs) could ride it, body geometry depending. For reference I’m 5’5 and it’s perfect. It has a new back wheel and is a single speed conversion.
Rode her for 2 years then upgraded, it's a great city bike, steel, takes the road well but I was still able to carry it up a 5 floor walk up with a couple other bags. The brake set up is super nice as it lets you remain a little more upright. I'd like to see her go to a good home.
It would probably be wise to replace the bottom bracket in like ~1-2 years if you ride a lot. It'd end up being like $100 should it need to happen, hence the price now! Another plus is all the old bike dudes in the shop get excited when you bring in a Gitane from the 70’s so you’ll get old bike dude street cred.
Here’s the craigslist post.

@KHarpz yaaaaaassss 🙂
Fun class today. Partnered with frequent visitor Eric.
20 rounds plus 6 reps on the KB/HSPU
16 rounds plus 9 reps on the BRP/BJ
Felt pretty smoked after this. We kept the same consistent pace on the first WOD but Eric definitely got more rest on the 2nd one.
anyone know what time the dudes lift until?! Im a dingus and left my bike by the gym. want to try and squeeze in a trip to the gym before OG but unsure if they'll still be lifting
Hooray for our lifters at the Crow Hill Open! Was only going to pop in for a little bit, but got totally sucked in… very compelling event. Ro, Alex and Jacob all did very well; both Ro and Alex qualified for the masters. Congrats!
OG today. very quick warm up, then…
a1. 3 x 8 RDL @ 20×1
(95, 125, 145) 155, 165, 175
hook grip. WOOF.
a2. 3 x :10 top ring support, :03 lower, :05 bottom of dip ring support
b. 3x:
50' single arm farmer carry @ 105#, each side
8 single arm DB Press 25, 27.5# x2
carries sucked today after doing the RDLs. grippy. no pain on DB press.
c. 7x
:20 push press 65#
:20 DU
:20 TTB
:60 rest
this was perfect for today. 9 push press, 20-25 DU, and 7 TTB per round.
was moving at a good buzz and with the intention of stabilizing every PP at top for a couple seconds and focusing on position. played with narrow grip and really tight kip for TTB today which felt good. could have cranked out 8-10 reps/round but just wanted a consistent unbroken set without struggle.
d. lost a lot of motivation… ended up with 3×4 abwheel rollout from knees. and 1x10ea eccentric ankle dorsiflexion plus some stretching.
OG today!
18 min EMOM
1-4 strict c2b pull-ups (towards the end I wasn't hitting my chest low enough)
2- 4 strict dips ( finally feeling stronger!!)
3- 12 pistols
Slowly adding pulling movements into my workouts again. Shoulder is feeling more and more stable.
Front squat
5*4 @ 75% #165
My legs are getting stronger! Ever since I hurt my shoulder my lower body has been getting all the attention! Strong legs supply the engine!!
Every five minutes for 5 rds:
18 cal AAB
5 power snatch #95
12 HSPU
Last round totally crushed me. Pushed myself though. I kept my RPM on the bike consistently at 60 which I was happy with. So hard to breath but slowly learning how to pace myself in these long workouts.
Beach day tomorrow! Hope everyone's enjoying the nice weather!!
