Lance is wicked fast.
275# (squat did not feel right this morning)
10:16 Rx'd
worked out at crossfit lafayette this mornin
max deadlift...425
Erin - hehe, didn't see your comment until this morning, and I have to admit: O'Malley is the coolest dog ever and definitely made me want to get a dog, as long as it was just like him. That cat reminded me of my very own "special" kitty, Castor, who attacks orange peels in much the same way.
Chase - definitely one of the funniest cat videos I've seen in a while. Thanks for posting!
Carrie - My pleasure.
Couldn't resist looking up the meaning to the day's post title. I intend to endure Heavy Helen as close to rx'd as possible!

Me aguanto de la barra este mañana con helen quien esta gorda. Mi tiempo era 12:45 rx'd
para levantar pesos: cien noventa cinco(pr).
¡Estoy cansada!
125#x1, 145#(f), no time to try inbetween
14:16 with 35# and blue band
First time with 35# kbs in a WOD - felt GREAT!
353#
13:38 53#/Yellow Band
Vic - So I entered your first sentence into SpanishDict.com, and this is what came up: "I endure the bar this morning with Helen who is fat." LOL! Great job doing it rx'd. Awesome back squat PR!!!!!! I'd be tired, too... :)
200#
13:33
It was I held onto the bar. From my poor, I thought aguantarse meant to hold on....:)
¡Ah mi bondad! CFDC ladies setting the bar HIGH this morning!!
Great job, Julz!
Vic - ahh, the translator used a different shade of meaning. :)
Coaches - is there a target time at Rx?
Rooster girls putting up PRs this am. 185# for me (15# PR), Carin hit 175# (massive 30 # PR) and Ashley also got 185#. Pretty sure Julie had a PR too. 12:51 on Helen (scaled to 35# and ring rows). Solid work this am. Chase we like the new watch, very Valentine!
Vic - You crack me up - Love it!
JULZ - WICKED SICK!!!
308# PR
318# (f)
13:26 Rx'd.
Running not fun, heavy kb swings not fun, C2B pull-ups kind of fun...that's my take on "Helen who is Fat"
Victoria and Julz are really, really, really strong. Give me one of your legs so I can squat with it.
so i started this morning with 11 rds (+2mu & 4 hspu) of NATE (m.u. progression/1 ab mat/53# KB)...
...I'll end my day with FAT HELEN and then probably have to take 4 days just to recover from it! Enjoy your day gang and see ya tonight!
235# Squat
12:24 w/ 53#
Mere-- Technically I only have 1 good leg... unless you want the bum knee side to which I will trade you for an uninjured one :) And... I will trade you for some of your metcon skill anyday..seriously.
175# (30 PR and first time squatting over BW!!) Cue the silly grin for the rest of the day...
14:58 with Helen who is fat (35#, mixed kipping and green band CTB)
Mud-lovers: time's running out if you want to test your skillz against "Mud: For Time!" (only the coolest team to get dirty together on April 11th). Email me if you're looking to join a team of your CFDC peers: carebear.cmr@gmail.com

Carin- I emailed you last week...did you get it? if not, email me at erinkhannah@gmail.com thanks.
Julz - After watching you squat today, I believe that I will take your bum-knee leg. I don't believe it hindered your performance. You made 200# look like a PVC pipe.
Bum-knee leg from Julz + Leg from Victoria = Goodbye to Mere's chicken legs.
268# damn kilos f it up every time
10:52 w/ 53# KB on Fat Helen
Barrett = Strong!
Oh yes, 10# PR for me (thanks, Monica). Not huge and still not BW, but at least moving up incrementally over time?
If anyone is willing to hand over strength OR metcon abilities, I'd gladly stand in line for some of both!! And pay double for good form on snatch!
Mere- HAHA.. you are ridiculous. And, pretty sure you do NOT have chicken legs... girl please.
Mere - I am with you - we could build one sick super human female from different parts of every girl!
LOL!!!!!
235# Back squat PR +20 just missed 245# (next time)
Fat H 11:30 w/ 53# KB and BlBand. Hope to rx reg. Helen before too long. Chad P and Dean were pushing me and encouraging this a.m. thanks boys!Good 8:30 crew today.
Child Please!
Name for the creature made up of all our girls... FrankenFINE....?
chase is so gay
Sirkis...nice shoes...but not as cool as the Gumbies.
Copycat headphones + football shoes = oddly gay
ooooooooooooooooooooo Sam Z with a come back.... LOVE IT!!!
or skankenfine?
SOOO not a great day but will be back for more!!!
145#-old PR-failed at 155 and 150
12:22 started with 53#, switched to 35. Not my best today. Heavy Helen and I will meet again.
235#
13:08 with 53# and ring rows.
Ugh. Or in other words, no aguantarse.
225#
11:03 w/ 53#kb
If I made a super human male from all the guys in the gym, I would call him Frankengay.
Chase/Dean - AAHH BURN!
I think I spotted a fellow CFDCer at the Hillcrest Starbucks. You looked busy and I couldn't remember your name so I didn't say anything, but I worked out with you one time 6 months ago. My first day at CFDC in fact.
... you suggested that I jump on the girls bar for back squat.
P.S. This sounds like a Craigslist Missed Connection.
Guy it had to be Sirkis.
Mere - ZING!!
Damien Win. Very funny and yes she deserves all of the internet for that post.
Guy - That must have been Bobby.
Mel and Mere - Every time a guy gets caught playing this game he is called a "pig".
I know Robert Sirkis.
This guy is extremely tall and has dark brown hair.
Oh that's the guy Sirkis' wishes he was....tall.
I will stop now in fear of Robert marauding me later this evening.
MERE - I just laughed so hard at work, had everyone wondering what was going on... LOVE IT!!!
best part is that it's only funny if Mere says it...in that nonchalant way she can!! HAHAHA!
Mere I love it

Love working with you, Mel and Erin--you always push me to do better than I could imagine! Thank you for your encouragement! And thanks for the props, Julz!
Heavy Helen:
14:53 almost didn't make the cutoff argh
44# KB
kipping pullups
Erin, I can't even fathom how you did Nate rx'd this morning and then did fat Helen rx'd--soooo many KB swings with 53#!!!!!! Simply amazing!
Mel - can't say it enough: you keep me going even when I don't think I can. Thank you SO much!!!!!!
185 Ass to Ankle. 205 parallel-ish.
Fat helen: 13:20 Rx'd
286# PR by 20#; 306# fail.
11:30 Rx'd
Respect.
215# (new PR by 20#) 12:37 (53#, kips)
John J, that's gotta be 286 buddy
In the words of Tommy Boy: That was aaaaawesome!
Back squat 215#. 13:42 on heavy Helen w/ 53# kb. And the training wheels are off (no band for the pullups, finally) -- not sure what the difference between "chest 2 bar" and "chest @ bar" is, but there were probably some of both.
contact...takes the 'maybe' out of the equation
265# on Back Squat - tied PR
11:23 on Heavy Helen Rx'd w the 70#er
Noah - as always, thanks for timing and pushing me to the limit brotha.
Chase, Sp. doing werk today. Chase was just that, a chase.
Back squat: 311# (41# PR)
Fat Helen: 9:08 Rxd.
As always, Noah's in my corner like Mickey Goldmill.
"You'll be able to spit nails, kid. Like the guy says, you're gonna eat lightning and you're gonna crap thunder. You're gonna become a very dangerous person."
PS. buy some sick shirts. (shameless plug)
dean.

143 KB swings at 53# will wreck you, by the way!
