BP: 105# PR, hit a 2 rep max of 110# but it just. wouldn’t. go. up. on the 3rd *le sigh*
WOD: 9:47
…Ok. I think this was a typo. 100′ would take about 40 seconds when you’re fresh and more than the whole minute as time went on. I started this with 50′. Maybe I should have stuck with 50′ because I finished quickly but at minutes 7,8 and 9 I switched to 25′ because I had less than 30 seconds to do BJs. Yes, I said BJs. Ladies, turn that box on the 24″ side before you push it. The friction coefficient between the box and the floor es no bueno. They hate each other.
I continue to believe the secret to the box push is to put your head against the box, down low, and just plow it across the floor like rhino (it also helps if you pretend you are, in fact, a rhino).
WOD: 13:43. Yeah….I did the first two minutes (i think?) at 100′ and collectively got 4 box jumps. Switched to 50′ for a few minutes and was only getting about 5 at a time and then gave the whole thing the middle finger and switched to 25′
upper half of body, a-ok. lower half, totally sucked butt.
bench press; 115# PR (thanks renee for being my kreayshawn singalong buddy)
WOD: 13:41 @ 20″. tried doing 50′, then scaled down to 25′ after 3 or 4 laps. sole arches are seriously stressing me out. the box pushes really stressed out my legs, too. box jumps felt super rubbery. sigh. thanks all for the last-stretch encouragement.
Definitely was confused by the WOD today. Was only getting 5 box jumps and was worried I’d be there until lunch so I scaled all over the place. Great workout though. Looking forward to next time box we push those lovely boxes.
WOD: 7:55 @50′, even with the scaling this one was rough. I managed to get 33 box jumps in the first minute, then they trailed off quickly. Props to everyone who went for 100′. I can only imagine…
Didn’t take an hour for any of them. They came in and looked at the board and made up their minds on what they were going to do and they worked hard at the task. Phil and Daniel both kicked ass.

Did the first two minutes with 100′ pushes and then switched to 50′. This was much tougher than expected. Awesome job 5:30am.

I’m not even coming to class today & I was thinking about the impossibility of getting any box jumps in between 100′ box pushes!

butterflies, panthers, rhinos, frogs. what animal have we *not* channeled through ourselves in poetic, athletic ways?
once again, I wish I had a LIKE button for comments. (Then again, I’d end up clicking LIKE on most of this page.)
Do you think a rhino could Rx this work out? I think so.
Rhino’s suck at jumping.
Consider this comment *Liked*
shit. you’re calling me out, aren’t you?

Thanks for the note – I think your issue should be fixed now. (Let me know if it ain’t…)
Anyone have a spare ankle they can donate? I want to do this workout!

I underestimated this WOD. The 100′ box pushes drained my quads fast. Great hustle, noon class!
OH shit you really Rx’d it. Wow. You’re part Rhino, aren’t you?
You pushed a box 3/4 of a mile today. A statue should be erected in your honor. ERECTED
RHINO!

People really Rx’d this? How many hours did it take them?
