15:37 with 75# 31 times and 95# 11 times, 30 HSPU two ab mats, 1 800m row and 1 800M run. SP called me out on my weight- I should have asked in the beginning....
PSA: Apparent lack of posting this morning is not representative of a lack of enthusiasim, but rather a side effect of a WOD that will make your hands tremble for a couple hours after.
Mel - You are the greatest. I love it when I get to work out in the same class with you. Your energy and encouragement are infectious and definitely shaved at least a minute off of my time.
22:34 rx'd - 135#/No Ab Mat/800 rows
Had to do the last 20 HSPU as singles, and the last 5 thrusters took about as long as the first set of 21.
Sam Z - yes sir I am back for my kiddo's and super excited about it... Typical time 7pm :)
Tell Sophie excited to see her...
Tell Luke he better be ready to work... :)
Thanks Travis :) we are always stronger when we push each other
Man it feels good to be back to my Roosters, and with lots of new faces, too!
16 flat with 45# bar and scaling HSPU attempts(probably around 2.5 abmats) to 20. Thinking maybe I should've done the strict press instead :(
Trav - totally agree with you. I heard Mel yelling at me from across the room as soon as I finished my second 800m to pick up the bar and get moving. So I did. Great to have her join the Roosters!
Well Hello Monday Morning workout, nice to meet you. What a way to start off the week! Trav, doing work son. Everyone else that did this at 6,7,or8:30am...big ups to alls of ya.
19:23 with 68# thrusters, 15# dbs, and then 75# thrusters to end with. Thanks Dean for making me go up in weight, and everyone else for the push! Especially Chase and Noah who opened my eyes to how bad my rowing form is :)
23:02 w/ 115#, 25 HSPU (2 mats), ran first 800 (no open rowers) rowed 2nd.
HSPUs getting better, but still a bottleneck in my system. Need to more fully embrace the inverted version of, "Get comfortable being uncomfortable".
Due to a conflict on Wednesday I can not run (that conflict is one of my good friends will make his Crossfit Rooster debut). I am going to be at SBUX, HPV at 6am if anyone wants to go tomorrow/Tuesday. 5 miles, paces vary.
Once again I underestimated myself! Bleh! I should have used 65# at least--even had time to go pee (couldn't hold it after those DB presses)! Major props to those who went rx'd!!!
One word can describe this WOD...... VICIOUS!!!!!
5 o'clock rock it...
25:31
95# Thrusters (thanks everyone for the motivation to complete them all there at the end.)
50 Hand Stand Push-ups
I owe y'all for the sour attitude that WOD put me in. It was one of those days that makes you feel like you've busted your ass and gotten nowhere. We've all had 'em.
19:33
35# thrusters
15# dumbbell presses
Thanks Chase and Noah for the tips & encouragement. Noah - as much as I may regret saying this later :) next time don't give me a pass. Hate leaving feeling like I should have or could have done more! My left shoulder did not want to participate in typing that.
17:03
35# Thrusters, 15# dumbbell presses
I feel like Julie - that I should have gone heavier on the thrusters. But on the other hand, my back hurts now (and not in a good way). So I need some advice - how do you know how heavy to go without hurting yourself? Help!
Great bunch of new faces this am. 22:00 flat, 65# thrusters, 10 HSPU, then thought ROM sucked so did 50 DB presses with 20#, rowed both 800s. Last 12 thrusters hurt...thanks Carin and Mel for making me "pick it up".
Great WOD today guys. It truly kicked my ass. Sorry, I had to run out right after workout but I had a baby kitty to get home to and take care of. Great work tonight at the 6 pm class. It was AWESOME watching everyone push to get RX'D HSPU's. Way to finish up CHASE, knockin those last ones out. We all know what we need to work on. The thrusters and row not to bad. HSPU now that's a different story. We all will be right by sectionals NO DOUBT. Keep up the hardwork guys. We will make a statement when it comes time to compete.
Keep the strokes as long and slow as possible. I like to imagine that I am just relaxing and flowing back and forth in rhythm. Yes, relax on the rower. I wanted to ensure that I had energy left for the second round of thrusters, so I scooted along at the easy-to-maintain pace of 1:48 to 1:52 at a rate of 20 to 22 strokes per minute.
Keeping the stroke rate low will help you control your breathing and allows you to focus on stroke length and overall form.
Michelle- Wow, all I can say is wow. And I'm not talking about Calves pants. 80 lb thrusters and 50 hspu with 1 mat. Men- bookmark today to come look at anytime you think about sandbagging a WOD. Props to you Michelle...and stop stealing pants.
Barbie- like I said, keep the weight on your heals. When you shift to your toes, your lower back has to do more work. For me, heavy thrusters help to reinforce the proper technique because you can't compensate for poor form like I saw you doing on the last few reps.

19:39 with 95# thrusters, 40 HSPU's with 2 ab mats, rowed one 800 and ran the other
I agree with the trembling comment, I am still trying to find a comfortable position for my elbows so my shoulders don't hurt so much
awesome Rooster crew!! lots of energy!
Sam Z - yes sir I am back for my kiddo's and super excited about it... Typical time 7pm :)
Tell Sophie excited to see her...

GET OFF ME SICK!!!

Happy Birthday Brooke!
Brooke - Happys!
The Crossfit adage that most scares me is that, "it always looks easier on paper....".
This looks SICK on paper.
There are still a pair of black pleat-less suit slacks floating around in someone else's dry cleaning pile.
Here is a hint, the other garments in the shower the night of their disappearance (accidental) were a woman's suit.
There was an off white open mouth cloth bag on the floor next to shoes.
This disappearance occurred after the 6pm class on Thursday 1/21.
What a great wod to start out the week!
19:03 - 95# thrusters and 2 ab-mat on the hspu. I found the 2nd 800m row the hardest part of this wod.
Thanks Spencer for working with me on form today. Stretching is going to be key for me moving forward.
16:00 - 95# thrusters and 30# DB rowed both times and got some great pointers. What a way to start the week!!
Is "Everyday" a reference to the incredible Widespread Panic album or just symbolic of the fact that we bring it "Everyday"?
Or is it both?
Happy B. Brooke!
Happy birthday, Brookie! Hope your weekend in Vegas was as hilarious as The Hangover but not as insane...maybe. :)
Welcome back, Mel!!
happy bday Brooke
Happy Birthday Brooke!
Happy Birthday Brooke.
Tyler - Love the profile pic. Gorgeous girl.
17:59 90# Thrusters and 30# dbs. Challenging day, with lots of encouragement from Chase, Dean and Noah, Thanks fellas. Noon crew pushed hard today.
Brooke- happy bday.
this helps me after days like today, http://www.ehow.com/about_5150410_epsom-salt-bath-benefits.html
19:23 with 68# thrusters, 15# dbs, and then 75# thrusters to end with. Thanks Dean for making me go up in weight, and everyone else for the push! Especially Chase and Noah who opened my eyes to how bad my rowing form is :)
Good times this morning.
23:02 w/ 115#, 25 HSPU (2 mats), ran first 800 (no open rowers) rowed 2nd.

It was Make-A-Wish foundation at the 4:00 class. I mean, just me that is. Barbie, Julie, Kyle, Craig aka Boy Wonder killed it, me, not so much.

Great WOD today guys. It truly kicked my ass. Sorry, I had to run out right after workout but I had a baby kitty to get home to and take care of. Great work tonight at the 6 pm class. It was AWESOME watching everyone push to get RX'D HSPU's. Way to finish up CHASE, knockin those last ones out. We all know what we need to work on. The thrusters and row not to bad.

DWOD- 26:20 Rx'd
If the rowing broke you off, I have a tip:
Keep the strokes as long and slow as possible. I like to imagine that I am just relaxing and flowing back and forth in rhythm. Yes, relax on the rower. I wanted to ensure that I had energy left for the second round of thrusters, so I scooted along at the easy-to-maintain pace of 1:48 to 1:52 at a rate of 20 to 22 strokes per minute.
Keeping the stroke rate low will help you control your breathing and allows you to focus on stroke length and overall form.
Michelle- Wow, all I can say is wow. And I'm not talking about Calves pants. 80 lb thrusters and 50 hspu with 1 mat. Men- bookmark today to come look at anytime you think about sandbagging a WOD. Props to you Michelle...and stop stealing pants.
Barbie- like I said, keep the weight on your heals. When you shift to your toes, your lower back has to do more work. For me, heavy thrusters help to reinforce the proper technique because you can't compensate for poor form like I saw you doing on the last few reps.
Michelle- I've already told you this but you are my hero! For real!
