Squatting and Snatching
You can create or complain.
You can decide to make something in this world, or you can decide to destroy something in this world. But, be forewarned, the former is enormously harder than the latter. And enormously more rewarding.
When you create — whether it’s a program, an essay, a workout, an invention — you take a big risk, but you might get a big payoff. When you complain, you take little risk and … you get little payoff. You made little effort, right? So you don’t get shit. It’s an instance where life is supremely fair.
Complaining doesn’t last. It’s quick and cheap (and fun) but no one ever said: “Oh yeah! Remember that great bitching? I still use it today! Heck, my kids use it! Changed our fucking lives! Holy shit, imagine if we had never spent that minute yapping our traps! Imagine how small our lives would be without complaining!”
Work lasts. Complaining fades. There’s a reason.
Make your choice: create or complain.

Power Snatch (105/65)

ANOUNCEMENT: There will be no evening classes this Wednesday September 19th. We will heading over to City Hall to lay the verbal smack down on some Aldermen.
HBBS: 175#
WOD: 10:04 Rx. Rx for the 5:30 am was listed at 95#. Burprees totally sucked, but it’s great way to start off the week. Great job 5:30am.
Bad Coach.
then i must be the devil sitting on your shoulder 🙂
Fair point. 😉
HBBS: 145# – my 1RM is 155#, so looks like it’s time to retest!
WOD: 11:35 Rx. My advice is to try to touch and go in each set that you do. I did most of mine in sets of 3, and dropped a bunch, which wasted a lot of time resetting.
hbbs: 215#
wod: 7:[31 or 13], can’t quite remember. rx (95#).
I agree with Shorty, burpees were the tough part…even panther style.
leaps of fierceness
monday funday!
back squat: 155#
WOD: 8:24 @ 55#. i think i melted my 12 and 9 couplet rounds (as well as my mind). good snatching practice; will try for 65# next time this comes around. all these burpees are like one big partyyyy
6:30 did awesome ^_^ I sure felt the ‘Mondays’ though, haha.
you were super-strong til the end. awesome workout. also: welcome to the blog! 🙂 or have i just never seen you comment… ?
Thanks! Nope, never commented before. I have extra time now since school started to hang around a computer. Felt I’d interact. 🙂
Whooo! This was fun. Great way to end a long day. 10:41 Rx.
HBBS – 95#
WOD – 8:56 @ 35#
If you want to make your Wednesday morning extra exciting come join me, Jaime, Will and Lynn at the Harvard Stadium to run some stairs with the November Project! CF Southie, New England and Again Faster always have a large representation – maybe we can grow CFSV’s?! The fun starts at 6:30 though you can join Lynn & Jaime earlier if you’re on the teacher schedule… Andrew Ference was there last week and according to the Twittersphere he’ll be back with some more Bruins in tow… You know you want to 🙂 It’s not any worse than some of the WODs!
