the early bird….

Actually, I’m not really sure what the reward is for getting your workouts in during the early,early morning hours. Is it the endorphin rush? Or maybe it’s just the most convenient time of the day. Here are some interesting findings about this very subject.

Workout(s):
WED 8/4

5 x 3 Shoulder press @ 90% 1rm
then
3 rounds of
row 250
5 hspu
run 250
1 rope climb

THURS 8/5

AMRAP
20 minutes

5 x 3 back squats @ 88 and 3/8 % 1RM
then
“The Newport Crippler”
30 BW back squats

for time

ouch

See this is exactly why I like to sit in my bubble room all day when I’m not working out at the gym. How did Sheldon gash his hand? Check out the video below for some insight.

Workout: 5 x 3 DL @ 85% 1RM

2 rounds for time
row 500

make it count

Besides the “chest to bar(head over the bar)” rule, what are some other ideas we can come up with to raise the bar a bit and make everybody do the same amount of work? Burpee over a paralette? HSPU’s on db”d head to ground? There are some more, let’s here your ideas.

Workout: 6 x 2 bench press @ 90% 1rm
then
6 rounds of
:30 plank hold
:30 rest (must do 7 push ups during rest period)
Then
50 ball toss sit ups

kbs (53/35)
burpees

Chelsea first came to us as a shy girl who just wanted to workout. She has turned into a serious buttkicker who is not afraid to talk a little trash to spice up the wod. I’m getting a bit nervous about what the next metamorphosis may be.

then
3 rounds for time of
200m run
7 - pull ups
10 - broad jumps

motivation.

What motivates you? Are you the type of person who is self motivated or do you need somebody to pump you up. I fall squarly on the fence on this one sometimes I can get myself motivated and other times I need the push from other people.

Just for kicks and giggles how many movies can you name in the clip above?

THURS - start with a timed 1 mile run
then
4 rounds for time of
7 - burpees
14 - double unders
21 - ball toss sit ups

1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 rope climbs

fatass

So how long do you think it would take you to down this behemoth? Seriously though, it’s amazing how many people you could spot daily who will eat horribly every meal and wonder why they’re not getting leaner. Sure some people have legitimate health issues that can play havoc on the metabolism but for most of society many health problems can be attributed to diet and exercise.

Sooooooooooo, if you ever want to REALLY, and I mean REALLY go off the deep end, I’ve got some help for you. Just head over to ThisisWhyYou’reFat.com for all your indulgent culinary needs.

Workout: 3 x3 CLEANS
then

what do you do……

when a competitor in the affiliate portion of the CrossFit Games shows up in your box? Pretty simple, let him jump into a wod that involves more rope climbs.
