Sorry Ladies and Gents, I didn't get home until 8:30 and went to bed at 9:30 so needless to say I didnt post last night!

Warm up: Shoulder dislocates, TARDS, and jumping jacks, 25 of each (thanks randy).

WOD: 1 squat clean thruster and 1 burpee box jump. Throughout the whole WOD the squat clean thruster stays at one rep. However, the BBJ goes up by one rep every min. So, 1 thruster, 1BBJ, first min, 1 thruster, 2 BBJ second min...

I AM SMOKED! I don't think my legs have ever hurt this bad! Well, thinking back, my legs were this sore when Fleming and I came back from our Level 1 cert. We completed: bottom 2 bottom squats and Fran in the same day, then followed that up with Helen and 80 medball cleans the next day. OUCH!

Kellar, Paula and I went to Flowood MS this weekend and participated in Fight Gone Bad IV, hosted by CrossFit 27:17 (Michael McElroy and Tyler Smith). The event was awesome! To have 25+ people all crossfitting in the same spot was amazing. I can not imagine what the CF games are like. Both of the girls represented by completing their first ever as Rx FGB! GO GIRLS! Tyler and Michael, we have got to get together and have these type of events more often. Thanks for hosting!

Sorry for no post yesterday, but as stated above the WOD was:

Fight Gone Bad

3 rounds of: Wall ball, SDLHP, Box Jump, Push Press and Row.

1 min at each station. Each rep counts as a point (with the rower use calories as reps).

The gym will be open at 3 today. Hope you guys had a great weekend!! This week is going to be awesome. Got a few named wod's coming up! 3...2...1...GO!

ps. The 2 most popular question we get are: How do I get ripped up? and What in the hell am I supposed to eat? Sooo, Kellar and I will be adding a diet link to this page. We will write recipes and other helpful EASY eating tips for people looking for help in the diet category. Any who, PEACE!

Line em up


Warm up: pistols 3x10, Barbell step up 2x8, burpee broad jump 8x3. EXPLOSION!

WOD: 1.5 mile Temple Loop, 5 heavy push jerk, 20 mountain climbers.

Skill: Max set of K2E

You know what I love? I love seeing like minded people busting their asses everyday. You guys really don't understand how much you add to the gym and its atmosphere. The yelling, cheering, clapping, loud music and the sound of falling weights AMPS ME UP. When I lace up my shoes, and look at the WOD... I still get butterflies. After I hear 3-2-1- GO! Its on. In between my gasp for air I can hear you guys pushing my group faster and faster. No matter what the WOD is, I don't want to let myself down or you guys. I try to give it my best. Steve Prefontaine once said, "To give less than your best is to sacrifice the gift." Don't waste your ability to do this stuff.

Guys and Girls keep bringing the intensity each and everyday. Set your goals high... tell people about them... accomplish them. We are all here for you.

Really?



New piece of equipment that i have been using to get ready for the Crossfit Games. The chick in the picture is a beast because shown here is her last round of 199 consecutive rounds of tabata twist... INSANE.

Warm up: hip mobility aka twister.

Wod: 3rep max Back squat, then Amrap HSPU rest 3min Amrap HSPU.

Then

4 thrusters (heavy) 10 burpees ( get air on the vertical) 3 rounds.

If you follow, we have been targeting a specific energy system here lately. Ask AFT and OPT about their programing or read about it in the crossfit journal... strength is a MUST, no matter how you express your version of programing. Main page tackles the strength issue all the time with their expressions of 1-1-1-1 or 3-3-3-3.

Question: Do you think that some athletes have out grown main page? Are there some out there that need and perhaps deserve more to fully stimulate the CNS and to succeed at Crossfit as a sport? Or should Crossfit remain a General Physical Preparedness program? Watered Down or Amped up...

When i grow up...



Ok, so i know the picture isn't necessary but hey, i thought it was funny. Now onto the topic... DIET.

I am guilty as any of you when it comes to splurging, cheating, or whatever you wanna call it. However, when I was eating clean and taking care of myself, i could tell a huge difference in appearance, performance and over all well being. Recently, I have been reading a lot of info @ www.robbwolf.com. He really knows his stuff concerning anything associated with diet. He is a huge proponent of the Paleo Diet. I will add some more links and info to the site concerning diet. If you are in a rut, aren't setting new PR's maybe its time to analyze your diet and experiment! Or you could grow up to be speedo guy... He has a PR in being Creepy.
