for the record, I got full complex this morning @75#. Given that I was subsequently forbidden to ever attempt it again, I kinda wished I’d gone for 95..
I just said if you tried it again the state would probably mandate that your daily outfit would include a helmet with the chinstrap buckled at all times for your own safety.
bench: 90#, which matches a PR. I wasn’t feeling confident today after working on ring dips yesterday, so I’m actually surprised I hit 90.
WOD: 14:09 Rx (115#). that was 14:09 of awfulness. Rowing KILLS me and it was so sloooowwwww today. I was at least able to go unbroken on dead lifts, but my box jumps sucked because my hamstrings weren’t firing after dead lifts. generally, not good.
Bench: 105# PR 3RM. got ambitious with jumping straight to 115# (1RM). next time i’ll edge up with the smaller plates. thanks amy for being spotter extraordinaire.
WOD: 15:44 @ 145# Rx. unbroken sets is a total mental game! i totally compartmentalized this workout as a 3-course meal: a vigorous though slightly tedious appetizer (chips and dip?), a totally indulgent main course (steak frites! fried chicken! shrimp ‘n’ grits! get ‘er done!), and then eating dessert even though you’re already full (so… many… cakes). anyone with me? (…anyone?)
and christine, your wod is a bitch, i hate it, but i LOVE your thought process. i wish i had that one in mind an hour earlier! i love to eat and i hate rowing!
O.o ! good job today. Food was the last thing I could think about before, during, and after your WOD.. it was more like, you can go back to sleep, just finish! haha
When I go to cross fit I say, “I’m going to practice.” It’s kind of this weird habit I have, but I think it’s an interesting way of thinking about it. Anyway, last night, I looked at this WOD and said, “HELL NO.” Then, I told myself to woman up and just do it. It’s just practice. You gotta practice the stuff you suck at.
Yosh asked if I weighed 8 pounds, which means I did around 10 times more than the RX weight. I went 13:50, which I’m not happy about. But I’m glad I did it.
Thank you, Nick for doing a brodown with me post WOD. (BE JEALOUS “BROS.”) I did around 4 legitimate muscle ups on the bar.
Bench 100# PR city baby – Rebecca thank you for cheering me on it was awesome to work with you!
WOD = 13:08 – that one rocked me! I couldn’t dead my body weight to a level that Yosh found acceptable (ie – unbroken for 12) so I deaded my goal weight (psh.. I kid… kinda)
BRODOWN!I’m sure what Nick meant to say was “I’m excited for bench press, and this chance to bond with my fellow athletes.” -Edit by JT
😉
touche my very good friend
or sometimes just entertain my fellow athletes (scroll past the picture of the ninja turtles, which is just plain silly):

bench: 205×3, pr (215×1)
the only thing that would have made this morning more perfect would have been driving home in a camero.
the day’s not over yet!
Bench: 165# Should have gone a bit higher but haven’t done this in a while.
WOD: 11:25 Rx. 18 secs of my PR. Legs just could not get ready for those box jumps this morning. Super slow. Great job 5:30am!
off*

I love your posts more and more every day. This is perfect in lieu of the foodie crawl that was to be today and is now postponed.
SHAMELESS ADVERTISING NAYNAY. but i like it.

now i know! when cal says boyfriend == shorty (better to ask then to assume) 🙂
affectionately known as Mr. Cal in the SV box
O.o ! good job today. Food was the last thing I could think about before, during, and after your WOD.. it was more like, you can go back to sleep, just finish! haha
165 x 3. 185 with a tiny bit of assistance for last 3 sets.
I don’t like Christine we are not friends, it was tough. 14:33. I feel it now so I know I will be walking funny tomorrow. 12PM was good today.
Bench: 185#, matches previous PR.
WOD: 13:16, not too happy with the time, but I’m no in rush to do that one again.
This was also the first time in a while I went in the morning. I’m giving it one more chance on Thursday, but waking up that early was brutal.
I wish I had like buttons on here. I <3 all of everyone's comment posts.

WOD: 9:30 Rx.
BP: 225#
WOD: 15:58 with 225# (BW 245#)
