Saturday WOD times are revised due to the RX-Star Chic workshop. There will be two workouts on saturday. One at 8am and the other at 3pm.
WOD
For this wod you need to know what your best 500m row time is. If you dont and you should if you have been here for more than a few months. But if not here is what to do. During the warmup pull for :30 as fast as you can. Make note of what the split is for 500m. Take that time and add about 3 seconds. Thats a good estimate for what your 500m pr would be. Now take that number and use it for the wod today. DO NOT DEVIATE FROM YOUR SPLIT!! Pulling at the proper split THE ENTIRE TIME will make this wod BRUTAL. Any lower and you are cheating yourself.
3 sets:
12 thrusters - 115#/65
Row 90 sec @ +20 sec of your best 500 m sprint
rest 2 min
+
3 sets;
12 Power Clean-155#/85
Row 60 sec @ +15 sec of your best 500 m sprint
rest 2 min
+
3 sets;
12 c-b pullups(guys)
Row 30 sec @ + 10 sec of your best 500 m sprint
rest 2 min
rest 5 min b/t sets including the 2 min after last set
as an example, if your best 500 m row sprint is 1:30….you row a 1:50 avg for 1st set, 1:45 avg for second set and 1:40 avg for 3rd set
(Post your times for the splits to the board.)

This guy busts his butt every time he steps in the gym. Been with us since June and is without a doubt one of the most consistent athletes at OCC.
Who thinks Chip and Don should sign up for the Masters competition for THE CrossFit Games!!? Age limit is 50 and they only have to qualify via the regional to get to the main event up in Aromas, CA.
The Master’s qualifiers are worldwide. Folks will compete at their closest Regional, but they are competing against all other Masters all over the world for the Aromas spots. There are no fixed spots allocated to each Regional, and it’s possible that some Regionals won’t send any Master’s athletes to Aromas. The workouts and scoring will be announced in April, and each Regional will have exactly the same workouts.The top scoring 15 men and 15 women from all around the world will come to Aromas in July to compete for Master’s Champion.
Come on guys I think you both have a great shot at making it! What does the rest of the box think?

Bret looking super lean lately and nailing Diane Rxd. Nothing like being lean in a sport like CrossFit.
Speaking of being lean, the paleo redunk will be done on March 18th from 4-7pm. Please put it on your calendars. Lets see who has gained the most muscle and lost the most fat. 17 days left…
Announcement for NLP competing athletes:
Hey everyone,
This is an announcement regarding the workouts for the Next Level Invitational. We want this event to be very competitive and will release information about the workouts periodically. There will be double unders in every division. In the male advanced division there will be bar muscle ups. Female advanced, male intermediate and male masters there will be chest 2 bar pullups and for female intermediate and female masters there will be kipping pullups.
We decided to release this information to limit possible problems regarding hitting the workouts to standard and to help prepare the competitors thoroughly.
As we near competition day, more announcements regarding specifics will come.

What’s Your “Tag Line”?
You’ve heard them before:
It might be your mantra; Live Strong
It might be your code; Just Do It
It might be your goal; Be All That You Can Be
Some of my favorites -
I am the GREATEST (Muhammad Ali)
Get Comfortable with the Uncomfortable (OPT)
Winning Isn’t Everything, it’s the Only Thing (Vince Lombardi)
Keep it Sassy (Sage B)
What goes through your head when you are working out…chasing that PR…struggling for a breath?
Post to comments, and keep it clean. -Jill B.

Its not about calories
February 14th, 2010Its not about how many calories your consuming, its about what that food does to your hormones…What regulates fat accumulation is insulin. Sugar and refined carbs…literally make you fatter. Heart disease, diabetes, many cancers, alzheimers are all associated with being overweight, meaning the heavier you are the more likely you are to get these diseases…whatever makes you fat will also make you sick.
Come on guys! So far we have 17 athletes signed up for the NLP Invitatitonal! We need more to represent OCC. If you have been on the fence sign up now! Space is nearly full for mens and womens intermediate. Right now we are in first place ahead of CrossFit Marina by 2 athletes.
Philip, Andre, Kos, Schinn, Justin, Olga, Bret, Greg, Jill, Chip, Ryan, Rick, Paula, Bigs, Walsh, Blake, Linds. I know there are two more who am I forgetting?
