3 sets of max rep pull ups
(dead hang preferred)

Great job everybody.

“Tabata- Fight Gone Bad”

Do a full 8 rounds of Tabata intervals before moving onto the next exercise.

A Game

Mitzi P. goes way back in CrossFit, we actually attended the same Certification Seminar 5 years ago. You would think that she would at least slow down a little. Even when battling through injuries she is always putting forth her very best and insipring those around her.

then
using a weight 85% of your 1RM clean, do 2 power cleans on the minute for 15 minutes

8 - 40 yard sprints
(sprint 40 then walk back to the starting point and repeat until all 8 sprints arecompleted)

rope climbs again

Seeing as we like to make use of the climbing ropes frequently, I thought we should maybe do some research to see if there are other ways of climbing ropes that we are not using. Much to my dismay, rope climbs with no feet is listed as an intermediate way of climbing the ropes. Looks like we’ve got some new challenges.

Workout: For Time
3 rounds
5 - DL’s (1.5x bw)
2 - rope climbs
15 - box jumps
100m - run

You were drawn to their honesty and dedication to their crew. Capt.

Phil’s most memorable moments. CAPT PHIL
