  6. I'm excited for the main site WOD and making up for the shitty performance I had last time we did dips. Same amount of cleans this time w/less weight and half the number of dips. Can't wait!

  8. F*in ring dips!! GRRR!

  10. This clip, Mark's speech to the National War College, and any other comments have almost always been slams on traditional box gyms. Obviously, I agree, otherwise I wouldn't be here. But how can you expect to turn the tide on a multi-million (billion?) dollar industry? Aside from Bally's going bankrupt, which I think is due more to the economy downturn than a change in fitness expectations. I think Xfit is only going to fill a relatively small niche in the market... but I would love to be proved wrong.

  12. Steve - Bally's called me, and said they went bankrupt because I no longer teach/train there. Nothing to do with our current economic hardships, they assured me. ha!

  16. main site WOD used 89# for the cleans, and a purple band for ring dips. cleans were tough b/c of the full squat, dips went well today. DNF in 15mins, I had 4 cleans and 9 dips left, damn it!
  17. Anonymous Says:
  18. Main site, did 89# like Lindsay, but didnt finish as many as her..nice work girl. Used purple band too, but only made it to the rings dips once. So DNF.

    Dont forget about the Stink and Drink next week!!

  20. Coach Rip puts in layman's terms the real state of the fitness industry and everything wrong with it.

    I compare his comments to that of the world government's (a.k.a.: Rippetoe, Burgener, xfitters, etc.) against adolf hitler and the Nazi regime (a.k.a.:big box gyms, fitnes equipment manufacturers, etc.), THEY MUST BE STOPPED!!!!

    Anyone intereseted in real fitness of any kind without the proper knowledge or resources to educate themselves should hear this interview before making any decisions about what they should do or who they should seek council from when starting a fitness/exercise program.

  22. The "SQUAT" I love it. This interview was great and I think everyone needs to hear this, xfitter or not.

    Speaking of squating this morning people were puttin in work! There was more weight on some bars and more people going lower in their squat than ever before. Great work everyone. Good luck the rest of the day.

    Did "Elizabeth"

  25. VD Says:
  26. First time with back squats. Got up to 141x3.

  28. I tried to do all of my dips today unassisted. I got through 16 of the first set and then used a purple band, but did all of the 15 and 9 unassisted. Better than I've done in the past. Much better actually. The cleans felt really good for me today. Someone once said to get my elbows up.... turns out that was good advise.
    I didn't finish in thte 15 minute cutoff, 16 something. But the dips took a while so whatever.
    Nice job Kylie Roe!!
  29. Gdawg Says:

  48. Decided to do the .com WOD tonight, fully Rx'd and did not even get close to finishing. As much as that sucks I am glad I decided to push myself and go for it. Like Ricky says, heavy makes you shave twice a day (t shirt). After the cleans tonight and the squat clean thrusters on Tuesday I'm looking forward to the next time I do Fran. Nice job 6:30.

    88# cleans; used tan bands for about half the dips, tan and purple for the other half. When we did dips a few weeks ago, I had to use blue and purple by the end, so these felt really good. Turns out showing up consistently gets better results than eating Wendy's and sitting on my ass. Who knew?

Thanks For Visiting!
