Hey everyone. Sorry for the last minute post on this, but there will be a skills session tomorrow morning at 9am, covering everyone’s favorite…ROWING!!! We’ll be covering the basic mechanics of rowing, some of the settings on the machine itself, and the most common faults that people have. If you find yourself dreading workouts with rowing in them, I encourage you to show up and see if you can make your movement a little more efficient!
Rowing skills session.
Saturday 9am at CFSV
Uncapped, free class. Just show up!!
I just registered for Olivia’s Climb for Hope! Looks like a lot of fun! Hope to see other people there!

weight vest?
Ben – You can do it with a 25# backpack on (full of pennies!). It’s the Weight of the Word Division, and is supposed to represent the weight of the worries and problems that some children carry around with them every day…
I’m sure they’d let you bring your own weighted vest if you prefer though. Or do it in full firefighter gear, like others have done in the past. 🙂
Sign up! It’ll be fun!
…full firefighter gear? I’m in. Let’s do it.
i’m getting sooo excited for the open. everyone should do eeet.
split jerk: 100# (tie PR)
WOD: 7:03 @ 135# (everything from my waist down still is sore from wed—lookin’ at you, BUTT)
sorry to be out of town and miss the rowing sesh — hope it returns!
I’ve been reading through the post work out posts more often and thought its about time I add to it.
285# Split Jerk
4:00 rx on the WOD
Great job by the early birds in the 5:30 group.
more posting, the merrier! great job today. chirp chirp <– fellow early bird
Welcome to the forum, Dan! I did the same thing when I first joined too lol
I didn’t even DO the wod today and I’m impressed with this 4:00 post. Nice work!
Awesome split jerks, Dan!
Nice job 7:30!
Split Jerk: 80# (PR, but then I haven’t done them much)
WOD: 10:20 with some dorky hop subs, but 135# on the deadlifts thanks to KP, which got Excellently? HARD.
Great frackin 6:30 group!
Split Jerk: 102# giving some rainbow love/attention 😉
WOD: 6:32 (125#) feeling those pistols from Weds during last 3 deadlift rounds
Excited for rowing session tomorrow morning!
Split Jerk: 125# PR
WOD: 8:27 @ 125#. Those Deadlifts became insanely difficult the last two rounds. And I wasted time constantly pulling my pants up because I bought the wrong size last night -_- SOB haha
So much fun today
YES – what is it with pants always becoming a size too big starting in the middle of a workout?
OMG, I had to keep pulling up my pants, too. I was blaming the pants (super cheapees), maybe it is inevitable.
I guess it means CF is working! haha. Smaller sizes for everyone!
Split Jerk = 115# PR
(Shout out to KP and my magical new white-hot sneaks)
WOD = 6:23 @ 135#
Multiple wardrobe malfunctions made this one a wee bit harder than it should have been. But as usual, 5:30 was a blast, and it was humbling to see so many bad-ass PRs and WOD killers today.
NICE Split Jerk, Lara! You had a “get 100# overhead” goal not so long ago, right? You, KP, and those sneaks are a great team!
Split Jerk: 195# (failed 205# twice)
Not a PR. Need to improve on my technique.
WOD: 3:19 Rx
I enjoy short, heavy metcons.
Same here, short heavy and fast!
Split Jerk: 195# PR. Really wanted to get 200# overhead, but only felt solid with 195# after the third try, and then I was out of time. Next time…
WOD: 3:50 Rx.
Split Jerk: 115# on the 3rd try. FINALLY.
WOD: 6:06 @ 125#
Fun times – I love when I get to do shoulder to OH movements with Tricia.
Shout out to Ariana who put a lot of weight overhead today. Lot of weight for a little girl so mad props!
Split 255# 20 pound PR bitches (275, I’m comin for you)
