Our pushups vs. the other guys

Ricky Frausto Filed Under:

Kat doing yesterday's WOD with a 1.5 pood (53lbs.) kettlebell. Her workout was 13 rounds of 6 reps for both swings and pushups (78 reps of each) so that she could handle a heavier weight. Plus look at that depth on the pushups. Great work Kat.

Great job to everyone who came in yesterday. Those were the best pushups, as a whole, that I have ever seen in one room. I challenge any CrossFit in the country, the world to match your depth and form on this night. I don't recall, except for a few heads dropping, any one rep being cut short or performed badly. That is a testament to your persistence on being the best CrossFitters out there. You guys rock and keep up the awesome work.

WOD
Back Squat 2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 reps
Compare to 071205

There were only 4 comments posted the last time we back squatted so this time around I expect there to be 15+ comments posted about everyone's new pr. We've had a few fast workouts the last couple of days so now we must turn our focus to strength and more specifically increasing it. I recommend that everyone who is a member of CrossFit Omaha make it in today and get a squat number. See you tonight.

2. I didn't post last time we did heavy back squats, but I remember my one-rep max was 275. I am hoping to get at least that as my 2-rep max today, since it felt pretty strong last time.

4. I hate to miss this one, but I'm feeling a little sick today. Next time I come in on a rest day I will be sure to knock this one out. Good luck tonight!!

10. 250 2 reps New PR. Last time was a single at 250. They felt pretty strong, need to work with the back thing I try to stay upright too much.

14. You all rock! Great job at the new PR's.
    
    New PR for me @165
    
    I beat my old one by 5 pounds! I tried for 170, but just couldn't get it up. Doesn't hurt to try!

16. Finished with 2 reps at 275. I probably could have pushed for one more round but I didn't want to hurt my back. 275 is by far a PR. I already can't wait for next time. Good work everyone.

18. 285x2, PR. My last was 275 for one. They didn't feel great at 285, but not awful, either.
    
    Congrats on the PRs, everyone!

22. 175 - it was a struggle, but I managed to get it.
    
    Thanks to Ichiro and Donahoe for making me push for that last 20-pound jump. I think this is one of the first strength days where I've actually found a true max.

24. I got 135 and I think I could have done more. I was worried about my form and getting crumpled over. Need to work on it more. But great job to everyone else!
