Can always count on Josh relaying in his face how we all feel inside during our workouts. Does anyone rival Joshie in his facial expressions?
2010 OC CrossFit Throwdown
In so far.
-JMF, Matty, Schinn, Philip, Ryan, Lankow, Chip, Punky, Ron A., MelMel, Andre, Walsh, Olga, Mike B., Lindsay, Mackenzie, Pinky.
All of you please print out the registration form and get it to me by Monday. When you want to do something its always best to feel committed I have found and this is the first step in making that happen.
Have you guys ever gone to this level of intensity? If not would you? Has any other activity/sport tested your willpower as much as CrossFit? Check out Michael Fitzgerald aka BrOPT (OPTs little brother at this years Games) and watch what true intensity looks like. Click here.
WOD
Tabata (20 seconds on, 10 seconds off for 8 rounds on each of the following movements. Complete all 8 rounds of each move before moving to the next)
KB Swing
Wallball
Sit Ups
Box Jump
Ummm OK I’m in.
Oh yeah Ryan, I got you by 4 seconds last night.
Just sayin’.
Big ups to Olga for hitting a 110# Jerk last night. That is 50% above her 1rep max on the press. Amazing stuff. 65% is good. 60% is great. Below that is just awesome. Olga how much do you weigh?
Ugly never looked so beautiful! Thanks all! See you next week when I get back from Texas!!!
PS – I am down for the throw down. I will be practicing double unders and muscle ups between now and then. Also, I will have to do some high altitude cross fitting in Colorado to stay sharp between x-mas and new years!
Schinn was the first person to get me the completed entry. Free entry for him.
I’m in for the throwdown as well! Can’t wait to rock it!!!
Yes, Olga ROCKED IT last night, go girl!!!
Happy Friday!!!

I need to get some new shoes for crossfit and I wanted to know if anyone has suggestions?? I have done a little research on the web and here is what I have come across: Vibram FiveFinger, onitsuka Tigers, chuck taylors, puma speedcat, nike free, adidas goodyear, puma h-streets. Thoughts?
There is no one perfect shoe for all of the stuff we do in here. I wear weightlifting shoes when a wod involves mostly heavy lifts inside and with no running. If it has alot of running in it i like to wear my racing flats addidas adizero which i love. For general wods i like skate shoes. firm and flat sole and comfortable to do lots of different movements in.
I Highly recommend the Onitsuka Tigers… Outstanding shoe for Crossfit
I have a 11 and a 11-1/2 if you want to try it out.
Saturday WOD:
5 sets of: (score is total reps!)
AMRAP DB thrusters in 60 seconds (40#, 20#)–rest 1 minute
AMRAP Pullups in 60 seconds– rest 2 minutes
Example: round 1 athlete does as many reps as possible of db thrusters in 60 seconds. Then record reps and take a 1 minute rest. Then perform as many reps as possible on pullups in 60 seconds. Record reps and take a 2 minute rest.
On to Round 2.
Punky — you led a killer WOD today (Saturday). Thanks for driving us to excellence!
I second Don – thank you, Punky! You were awesome!
I went to breakfast after, and as usual, poured the salt onto my open palm instead of directly onto my eggs, to avoid accidentally oversalting.
Those of you who did today’s WOD understand why I started screaming….
