Push and Pull
What we tend to find in a group of people who share a common interest is not just comradery, but admiration. You see this all the time in here and hear me say it all the time. “The proof is in the pudding.” Not just from results you can see in a mirror or by a huge decrease in numbers or increase in weight, but by cheers and high fives. I love it. You guys rock. Here’s a video from this past weekends CrossFit Games talking about why our Sport is the best on Earth.
Strength
Push Press 2-2-2-2-2
WOD
5 Rounds
12 Bodyweight Deadlifts
250m Row
5:30 rocked it out, Nicki – you’re amazing pushing 115 over your head, damn girl!!
I was the one – armed bandit today; strength = 1 arm 30lb push press 5 – 5 – 5 – 5 – 5
WOD for me was 1 armed Kb deadlift then 200m run. I picked up 70 lbs which is about 60% body weight and was hard but JT is awesome and inspiring and I beasted it out… 10:21
I feel good… and I’m back!
Great job!
you looked good out there this AM, one-armed bandit. welcome back to the box!
strength- ~100# (i think!) i just realized i put 115# on the board but that was just the weight i did deadlifts with in the wod! time for that was 11 something. i am hopeless with numbers in the morning. that was my favorite wod this week!
Y’all did awesome this morning! So many good push presses (and a few bad ones)! I gave this WOD a crack after class… was hoping for sub-9, but ended up at 9:14, as RXd (195#).
Why did I miss my goal, you may ask? Because I punked out and had a DRINK OF WATER during the workout, after the round 3 row. Now, this is something I have given some of you some flak about in the past. I stand by my position on mid-WOD-drinking: had I just sucked it up and continued I would not have died, and I would have gotten done faster, thus improving my time/intensity/results.
Still, part of this (CrossFit, and CFSV in particular) is about acknowledging and loving ourselves as we are, even as we work to improve what we can do. So, I’m not gonna gnash my teeth and rend my clothes over this – I’m just gonna focus on being so well-hydrated before my next workout that thirst won’t even enter my mind.
TL;DR: drink plenty of water before you come in tonight to WOD.
I read it 😉 It was super hot and I’m (maybe wrongfully) assuming you were WODding alone so I’m sure I would have grabbed several drinks if I were in your shoes… wait … you hardly ever wear shoes..
PP: 105#
WOD: 9:26 Rx (155#)
Good work, waterlogged 6pmers!
pp: 165#. not thrilled but oh well, that’s where I was this morning.
wod: 9:43 (I think)
Push press: 85 # (and one single at 95)
WOD: 11:45 @ 105 (Sooooo not Rx…that’s about 40 pounds shy, but 6 months ago it would have been 55 pounds shy!)
Yosh, can I just say how much I appreciate your concern about us cyclists getting home safely tonight? Re: your comment: don’t worry, none of us hates you for programming tough-as-hell WODs. We love you for it. That’s why we keep coming back for more!!!
PP: 85#
WOD: 11:48 @ 85#
Glad you got home safe, Lara–and it was good to have you back, Copley!
nice Renee! 60% body weight one armed deadlifts!
this was supposed to be a reply to renees post above. new comment system is outsmarting me….
Really? Is the new comment system causing people problems?
THANKS!! 🙂
PP: 175#, PR by 30#, beat 1RM by 20#
WOD: 8:40 Rx (160#), made sure I was hydrated beforehand, no water needed.
HUGE PR!!! congrats!
