1. No classes on Friday or Saturday.
2. I'm looking forward to seeing if there will be any sub 5 or even sub 4 minute times today. But more excited for everyone else who will battle with this workout and finish it. Post times since I won't be there to watch.
3. This is a great workout and I wanna see if we can fill all the classes today. Its a call to arms. Can we do it? Let's try. Last I checked, there were 2 spots left at 5am, no spots at 6am, 8 spots at noon, 16 at 4:30, 10 at 5:30, and 8 at 6:30. Can someone post updated numbers as the day progresses?
Don't forget, if you miss the cut-off hour, try calling someone at the gym. I'm sure they'd love to help you out so long as the reason is legit.
Yay burpees!
Drive safe Ricky. :-)

Great job 6am peeps.
JChrist (that's for Brian and Addi, not gonna fight it anymore)
Great time, 6amers!
Can't wait to see what's in store for tomorrow! Maybe some snow shoveling for the afternooners??
Fastest times thus far...

Keep 'em coming. You can get on the board with this one!!
And we have an exciting workout in store tomorrow... you better show up! No rest day with the long weekend.
I remember doing this twice before. The first time, there was a 12 minute cut off and I finished just in time then too. The second had a 10 min. cutoff, and I didnt finish. I think I got somewhere in the 80's done. Today was tough, but an improvement over the last time I tried.
Great class today!
I'm still not a fan of working out at 6AM cause I fee l super tired for the next couple hours after but it is nice to get it done early and have the evening free.
5 Petersens (counting Jillian) there this morning for 100 burpees, that has to be some kind of record.
Re: Ten Pounds - the scale lies. The scale does not differentiate between muscle and fat, water and tissue, etc. If you really want to measure your workout results, particularly from a crossfit perspective, take pictures, take measurements, take baselines in wod's and how much you can squat/bench/press. Those measurements will truly tell you what kind of success you're having. And to that note be sure to use Logwod, it's a great way to keep track of your growth, development and improvements. Which brings me to...
Re: Blogging - Yes, I am guilty of becoming a former commenter. I used to comment all the time, but over the last few months, for no particular reason, I've slowly started commenting less and less. And since I started the most recent edition of the strength class not only have I not been blogging but some days I don't even check the blog. Well today I stand before you and declare NO MORE! No more will I sit idly by while our comments section limps along with a mere 2, 3 or 4 comments! No more will I make witty comments only to myself and not share them with the masses! No more will I remain silent while Addi terrorizes everyone with her over-zealous carnivore commentary! It is a dawning of a new age my friends, the age....of B Christ!
What I'm trying to say is I'll start commenting more, like I used to.
Re: Burpee laws - in general, I've been kind of a fan of burpee laws. There have been a couple of times when I was late and I gladly, and without being told to do so, did my 10 burpees and then moved on. I didn't think it was that big of a deal but that's just me. And I definitely think they have gotten people back in to the spirit of cheering for everyone and encouraging everyone and the attitude that no one is done until everyone is done. That is huge and can never, ever go away. My biggest issue with the burpee laws is the coaches are extremely inconsistent in enforcing them. It's as if they pick and choose when they decide they want to make people do burpees and when then don't. If someone is late, they're late - burpees. If someone starts packing up early - burpees. If someone drops or mistreats equipment (because they're being lazy, not when it's a matter of safety) - burpees. I don't know if coaches are afraid of being "the bad guy" or what, but if coaches aren't taking them seriously why would the athletes? I'm just saying - if they are laws, make them laws. If they aren't then tell us so we're all on the same page.
Wow, it would appear that I've kept my comments bottled up for far too long. But I think I've covered just about everything so I'll just wrap it up with this - CFO has gone through quite the evolution in the nearly 3 years (wow, really?!?) that I've been a part of it. From being at UNO with maybe 30-40 athletes total to our current home with sometimes 20-25 people in a single class. There have been a lot of changes and I'm sure there are more to come, but the thing that has remained constant is the community. We've got a pretty rare thing here and I hope we all realize that, appreciate it and respect it. Seacrest out.
I thought we did them more recently though, Ricky have we?
Gina and I got Bonnie there this morning and she liked it. The time not the burpees :) I signed her up for tomorrow too!
I will also look for other times we did 100 burpees but I think Feb 2009 was the last time. I'll post a link.
AK-47 (as long as we're owning our BChrist-given nicknames)
Also, bacon. (don't boss me, BChrist)
100 Burpees. I am both terrified and excited... but mostly terrified. 4:30 here I come!
9:40 - could have used the group to keep me motivated and moving... I think that would have improved my time. I hate burpees.

Ricky, I added Bonnie to logwod, would you get her added to the gym?
We had a good noon showing today...did this one in 8:58, was better than my last time I think and that's all that matters. Oh and my legs are still killing me from monday, think I could've made this faster but the burn was strong today!!
Yay for Christmas WOD tomorrow!! Though hoping for no leg involvement :)
Second, re: 10 pounds... Why do we use the standard metrics (lbs, minutes, reps) to gauge our improvement when that only applies in one narrow sense? Okay- maybe on the Lincoln Half-Marathon do I keep track, but that's only because its the first big race of the season. But I've seen the improvements in so many other areas that are so much more meaningful to real life. I love bounding up four flights of stairs when others are winded. Shoveling non-stop doesn't bother me (although it got a little boring last year). Picking up my bags and running through an airport. I love it when I volunteer and end up doing some heavy physical lifting... and people half my age are wasted after 15 minutes. I pulled my niece and nephew around the ice rink- for over an hour.
And my favorite sign of improvement- I once was stopped on a trail on my bike when someone got up ahead of me, so I decided to push hard and catch up (from a dead stop). I started off so fast and hard, I bent one of the chain links. Took it in to get repaired, and even the bicycle repair guy was amazed. How cool is that?
I always feel kinda guilty skipping burpees. But since I'm out of town, I feel slightly more justified.
Every 3 minutes:
10 back squats (205)
8 CTB pullups
add 1 rep to squats each round (=60 squats total)
No breaking up of sets allowed.
13:37
I wasn't sure i could do this. My right hip flexor has been acting up, and it's just a lot of volume. But it felt great (until the last round). CTB pullups felt good too.
100 Burpees 5:56
i believe this is a 2 min PR. It has been a long time since we did this and I have been practicing. Being a 6' person burpees are not my specialty. To address this issue I began doing a higher volume sets of 40, 50, or 60 unbroken just to see if i could. Over the months burpees began to wind me less and I was able to do more.
Though I had a 2 min PR today, it is very humbling to watch someone do this WOD in 4:30 something. Good luck to anyone who thinks they can beat her time!
Libby 4:33

Nice work and remember anyone who takes on the 100 burpee challenge is a winner in my book.
Fun to read guys!
Thanks, Cheerleader!
Deadlift retest.. 356 ha its 8lbs less terrible than it used to be
5 ctb pull ups
10 kipping hspus
15 95# OH Squats
* RDS in 18 mins *
- got rushed so had to make it 18 instead of 20.. Really?
7 RDS plus 5 pull ups.. Hspus were only unbroken thru rd 2.. OH squats were surprizingly harder on my legs then I thought.. Back at it tomorrow.. Hope some guys break 5 mins on burpees tonight.. Get after it!
All I can say is that our true test as athletes comes at games time. People can claim whatever numbers they like during the off season but their ability to deliver at the games is what really matters...
My advice to everyone is don't let the results of others discourage your own progress, rather let their claims drive you to step your own game up. I don't care if I get last place in every off season WOD if I can still deliver and be competitive with the elite when it counts!
Merry Christmas to everyone and safe travels this weekend!!!
Crystal and I are going to hit the 100 burpees tonight. I'm gonna shoot for sub 4 and unbroken and I don't practice. Haha. I'll try and get it on video.
No warm weather here either. It was 70 yesterday and 40 something today and the rest of this week.
I also feel like much of the gym (especially the newer membership) doesn't read the blog. Perhaps occasional reminders at classes or by email--let them know it is out there. If they read, they may post. And I vow to post a bit more.
As for today's WOD, I'm going to take an incomplete. I thought I had done 100 reps, and my time was possible given my last effort at this. But I finished ahead of someone who took no breaks (I did) and is a badass. So I might have miscounted. I did feel like crap when finished, so that was nice.
Merry Christmas CFO.
