Pillar Strength

5 Rounds, for time:

9 Overhead Squats, 95#
12 Glute-Ham Sit-Ups
15 Knees-to-Elbows
18 Ab-Mat Sit-Ups

Post time to comments.

After much debate, fighting words, and teary-eyed conversations with fellow athletes, we have decided to enact the November Zone Challenge.  We are issuing everyone to hop in on this.  For some of you, it’s a chance to enhance your training commitment, for others, simply start the Zone once and for all.

Here are the rules:
  1. You must eat proper Zone proportions.  Whatever that means for you, stick to it.  You may adjust fat levels (upon Spencer, Graham, or Sam’s consideration).
  2. You must eat paleolithic foods.  No bread, pasta, starches, corn, even if it’s Zone proportions.  If you can’t kill it or grow it, don’t eat it.
  3. You must attend Crossfit at least 4 times a week.  I don’t think anyone has this problem, but had to say it.
  4. You must write everything down, even if its bad.  We’ll swap binders on Saturday to keep each other honest.
  5. You are allotted ONE cheat meal per week.  
  6. If you miss any meals, or have more than one cheat meal a week, you are disqualified.
__________________________________________
We’re taking suggestions on prizes for the winners.  Those who DNF have to do Murph, with weight vest (only joking).
If you’re game, post acceptance to comments.  The Zone Challenge starts, well, today!

It’s like a dream come true.”  Thank you, Craig.  What a great way to start off the week.

Work It Out

“Annie”

50-40-30-20-10
Double Unders (sub tuck jumps)
Ab-Mat Sit-Ups

Post time to comments.

From San Francisco Crossfit:

It’s tough to meet a dishonest callus. They represent weeks (perhaps months) of solid, consistent effort. How can you not love your body’s ability to specifically adapt to it’s situational requirements? All that natural phenomena and they protect your hands to boot…what’s not to like?

Unfortunately it is possible to have too much of a good thing. Once in a while a little callus maintenance is in order to avoid excessive build-up and potential dermal disaster. For the discreet among us, a file in the shower while the skin is soft does the trick. For the bull-headed among us, too much chalk and not knowing when to stop will rip that little bastard from your hands post-haste…especially fun training is to be had in the weeks following such an event (so think it through before you push through).

For the rest of us, there are the unorthodox methods of callus removal:

The classic ‘Pick-at-the-dinner-table’ whilst listening to your family regal you with tales of their day…

The tooth-sharpening glee of the ‘Chomp-spit-n-stomp’…

The sensory oddity of the ‘Nail-clipper-cut-away’…

Post best callus removal method to comments. Be proud, you earned them!
