Cindy challenge on Thursday. All classes, all day. $25 entry fee with $15 of it going back into the kitty. I want everyone to come with their A game in order to set the highest possible baseline. In eight weeks we try again and see what the numbers tell us. This would be a good opportunity for some of you who have been thinking about tinkering with their diet to do so. How much can you improve without actually doing Cindy?

Well that is my incoherent rambling for the night.
The ruination of America occured with the McDonald's coffee incident. But for that, we wouldn't have ridiculous lawsuits of this nature.
The sad part is, as we grow fatter, lazier, and more obese, you have more "educated" zealots trying to discourage the public from a variety of exercise forms. What's the message? It's much safer at home on the couch. At the very most, perhaps take a leisurely walk around the block. But don't go too fast. Wouldn't want to pull a hamstring. Way to go, society.
i decided to go against the doctor. who needs to sit out 10 days for a sprained ankle?!
wod: 109# (could have gone up more, i think but i had to take zachr home)
great job to amanda. you are an inspiration. and xtina and lindsey, nice first cleans!
failed on 99#, I really need to work on moving my elbows through faster. great job Amanda, Hannah, and sis!
i love the video of the kids. damian's burpees are way better, but i guess that goes without saying.
i think i had a dream about doing burpees last night. i'm considering suing on grounds of mental anguish.
i am taking a rest day today because even a thoroughbred a$$ needs some rest now and then. i will be in tomorrow even though i can't do cindy.
or is this the one where is all one fluid motion going to overhead? I get them so confused! i need to write down definitions ;)
in any kind of clean, the bar just comes to the starting position of the front squat--racked on top of the chest and shoulders. The bar doesn't go overhead. The power clean differs from the squat clean in that you catch high, instead of having to pull yourself under the bar as much. and with hang cleans, you don't have to take the bar up from off the ground; you start upright and only dip to about a quarter-squat.
you're probably thinking of clean-and-jerks or clean-and-presses, where the bar does go overhead, after the clean.
I was thinking clean and presses...
When I failed on the first attempt I was almost certain I wasn't going to get it. It didn't look pretty but I got it on the second attempt. Everyone was cleaning some very heavy weight this morning.
So to close thank you joe and rick for helping us push our selves to our goals. Always remember to use your head when working out and watch over everyone in the crossfit family..
Donohoe out.......
Great job 5:30!
as for the article... i'd love to see this guy's separation paperwork from the navy (available through the freedom of information act, btw). but is there any point in society now where people feel shame or are actually embarrassed by their actions? i've done some stupid things, in xfit and the real world, where my first reaction is to look around and make sure no one witnessed it. i once came to a complete stop in bike race, and then fell over. of course, i look behind immediately and there are dozens of bikers behind me, everyone expressing concern. yeah, a little pain, but more so to my pride. apparently some people don't feel this way... it has to be someone else's fault. my only suggestion- bring back public humiliation. alison brought up the mcdonald's lawsuit as an example. maybe if we had more people who actually said to this woman, "you're a dumbsh*t", people would be too embarrassed to bring the attention to themselves a lawsuit would draw. stop picking people up, patting them on the head and telling them everything will be alright. this is acceptable when you're 4 years old. eventually, you have to grow up.
I have big issues learning the form and getting them confused. I need to figure that out so I can improve.
I have nothing to compare this one to, I checked my past WODS and never did this one for max weight or three reps or anything - so here is my start point.
