    i’m sure coach KP prepped the scaled standards that we had for this WOD this weekend.

    back squats (from the rack) at 115# and HSPU to 2 abmats: 4:06

    anyone who did either the Rx weights above or 185/115, measure yourselves up against the competitors from this weekend! check out WOD 2 here: http://crossfitnewengland.com/2012/09/10/garage-games-results/

    I finally met the person in this picture! Good (and large) class with KP this morning.
    OHS: 60#, which is a PR, but only by a little. Next time I will be sure to attempt #65 – I think I would have nailed at least one today if I had made time.
    WOD: 8:29 with 78# for BS and push-ups kicking up to handstands. I finished early compared to some others in the class, which means I probably should have added more weight to the BS (I was at 75% of max, should have gone for 80% at least). BUT my legs feel shaky now anyway, which is the real point in my mind. 😉

    ohs: 165#
    wod: rx weight/movements, but I just realized for some reason I got it in my head as a 21/21 rep count. so…rep scaled version: 12:43.
    I think my goal for the week is to get a wod right.

    Hey guys,

    It would be greatly appreciated if we could start racking the weights better. Sometimes they get real sloppy and thrown about. Thanks!

    OHS: channeling my inner super-flexible cobra inside a french bulldog’s body… with mixed results. 55# and many squat therapy sessions in store.

    WOD: 9:19 @ 125# (didn’t feel too bad) and a fancy mix of 2-abmat HSP… then 25 pushup+HS after KP accurately pointed out that my arms needed more than a millimeter’s range of motion (imagine that!). will try next time for air-guitaring with 1 ab mat. thanks all also for the intro to upside-down kipping!

    also… is 6:30am tomorrow actually filled up already? 🙁 i’m checking le zenplanner, hope i can squeeze in. otherwise, it’s (sob) 5:30am creakinessssss.

      5:30 is good for your inner super-flexible cobra. It gets going while the french bulldog is still asleep.

      Hey, would people attend a 7:30 am class if I put one on the schedule?

    OHS- FInally feeling a bit stronger after a hip flexor injury.
    #115PR

    WOD- 5:30 with 165# and two ab mats.

    80# OH Squat…PR! Smiley face.

    WOD = 4:47 @ 95# and very ugly regular push ups.

    OHS: 95#, trying to give me shoulders a rest so didn’t go heavy

    WOD: 14:36? Rx

    For some reason I assumed the back squats would be the hard part of this one, but I was able to break those up into 4 sets and finish in 3-4 minutes. The HSPUs on the other hand were miserable. 16 reps in I was only able to do singles. Those last 9 reps probably took 7 minutes. Ready to move on from this one.

    OHS : 195# PR City (with what feels like plenty left in the tank too 🙂
    WOD: 4:07 Scaled City (185# / Green Contraption )

    I <3 Squats

    Mike made it look easy!!!!

    Handstand pushups went great (ab mat plus 15lb weights for hands) although I need some wrist guards next time to go faster.

    Back squats went fast, and my legs cramped up big time right after the WOD. I’m sore already. Finished in 4:25

    The most frustrating things was that I was able to do 10 or so toes to bar after practice without stopping, and I could not for the life of me figure it out on Monday. Alas
