WOD
Rest Day

I hope you guys that haven't gotten all your strength lifts in from last week do so today. I need those numbers to help Joe and I properly pick weights for met-cons for the greatest results.

Post your workout and times weights to comments.


















Looking at this theoretical hierarchy of development you will see that what you are looking for in terms of fitness and body composition comes first from fixing what you put in that pie-hole of yours. Quit eating like shit people.

Second comes strength. If you are afraid of moving heavy weights because you are afraid of getting hurt, that is one thing (No excuse either. Master the technique) but if you don't like doing them because you are afraid of getting bulky, then you need to look at the statement above. Bulky comes from genetics and what you feed that mouth of yours. Alcohol, grain, starch, cakes and the like are what make you bulky, not lifting heavy weights. And anyways, you aren't really even moving heavy weights. It's all relative and right now most of you are moving relatively light weights. Get on board and quit whining.

These two parts of the pyramid are important to your development as an efficient human. Raise your hand if you want to be a weak and decrepit 50 year old, 60 year old, etc. Joe and I have seen 20 year-old men and women that are fighting to stay upright on their own two feet let alone do anything physically active.

Here is my advice for you to avoid an early death and/or start looking good naked:
1. Quit making excuses to eat right. It's not that f**king hard.
1. Quit babying yourself with the strength days and get in the gym and try and get super strong. Results lie in strength.

  2. Going to be stuck on base for the next two days for a conference so I'll look on the site and hit the WOD as best as I can or do CFFB.

  4. Reading this post was inspiring!

    filthy fifty came up at CFSL, but I said F that and blamed it on my shoulder. The trainer redeemed himself by suggesting the bear complex:

    65, 75, 85, 95, 105

    Probably could've gotten to 115, but between the shoulder and the fact that I'm planning to go 5 days in a row this week, i figured i'd just call it a day.

    it felt incredible.

  6. I've not been up in a while and I'm missing working out! I was/will be out of town the 1st and 4th week of the month and I've got to work the CWS all this week, so I expect to get back into it the 1st of next month. Can't wait!

  10. HooYa Ricky!!! well hopefully ill be moving heavy weights soon haha and love the stuff about diet...if i can do it so can everybody else. hes right its really not that hard, after you learn how to plan your meals and learn what you like to eat you dont even have to think about it.

    Wait, So if i consume alcohol...am i going to get all buff and stuff??
  11. Kelli Says:
  12. Sorry...won't be able to complete that 1RM Snatch until Friday or Saturday :(...but I will do it!

    eat like shit = feel/look/act like shit = pretty simple equation
  13. Allison H :) Says:
  14. Addi you're hilarious! Angry Ricky is funny! And Joe C - therefore if alcohol makes us buff 'n sutff - then I should have been buff as hell when I turned 21!!! LOL! LOL! Good stuff!

    Did Nancy today to work on my OH squats.... the 91 degree wheather with all that running - soaking sweating everywhere!!!! Ahhh rest days! They treat me good! ;)

    holllaaa nooners!

  16. Came in at noon and did 1RM deads and 1RM hang power snatch. Came back in with JoeC at 4:30 and did 3 rounds of 25 wallballs @ 20lbs & 30 pullups, and it wasn't quite as bad as I thought it would be. :-)

    As RX'd = 8:10

  17. Cari Says:
  18. Did Helen w/ Amanda but subbed 500m rows for the 400m runs. Used a blue band for rd 1 of pullups and then had to add a purple for the next 2. 19:38
  19. Joe C Says:

    30 pullups
    8:49

    Today i had to run 4 miles before Crossfit cus i was mean to my squadron and wanted to smoke em muahaha...but it def tired me out just a little bit. Rested way too much on pullups and now i have 4 very nice cuddley tears on my hand.
    Good job 4:30!!!! crowded and fun!
    See yall tomorrow!! :-)
  21. Jenni Says:
  22. Did snatched. #68. Better than I thought. My real victory was pullups without bands. Hallelujah!
  23. kahrs Says:
  24. Helen 11:18, I am sure this is better than the last time. Great job every one.
  25. Chad Says:
  26. 3 rounds

    400m run

    16:32
  27. Jen S. Says:
  28. Snatch 1RM 92. This is much better than I thought considering a week ago a struggled with 77.
  29. Becky Says:
  30. Nicely put Ricky... I did snatches today, not really sure how well, but I couldn't honestly say when the last time I did one was. #82 1RM I've been out of town and all sorts of lame excuses for not being at classes lately, so I will work harder on that. Good job 4:30!
  31. hannah eileen Says:
  32. I did back squats because I didn't last week. they felt fine until I had to ditch one off my back, then it hurt. I got up to 165 which I wasn't too happy with. ZachR (so kindly) pointed out that these are basically baseline numbers for me since I never workout.
    Then I did 2 rds: 300m run, 20 wallballs. finished at 5 even.
  33. B3nj4m1n Says:
  34. Did the run row workout. 500m row 400m run, 3 rounds finished at 11:24. It was pretty fun. I was slightly disappointed by AC at the gym. I like working out when it is hot, maybe not 100 degrees hot but hot.
  35. Addi Says:
  36. Ben, I suspect the booty shorts may have constricted the blood flow to your brain.
  37. Julie M. Says:
  38. Anna did wall balls and pull-ups yesterday . . . a lot of them . . tore up her hands. Thanks to Joe's advice, she is out looking for a job as a brick layer so she can toughen up! - Anna's mom

Thanks For Visiting!
