There are 50,000 people signed up for the 2012 CrossFit Games Open. That's nearly double last year. If you have not signed up, there's still time: http://games.crossfit.com/ ... ANYONE can do this, experience is not necessary, and you'll get a wicked tshirt. :)

CROSSFIT GAMES ATHLETES! I need $50 and tshirt size by end of today!
February 22, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterAnthony
Awesome deadlift Elvira!
February 22, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterKim
CFWU x2

Deadlifts to 145
Managed to get 4 at 145. My shoulders were rounded on the 4th so it is time for a reset.
Last week I had to call it quits at 135 so it felt good to get most of my reps at 145. God it feels heavy though. I am in awe of you ladies who deadlift so much weight.

WOD
"Mary"
AMRAP in 20 min:
5 push ups (from knees)
10 pistols (with rings)
15 ring rows

8 + 9

This was a tough workout! My lats were tender from yesterday's workout so it wasn't long before I slowed down on the ring rows.

Have a great day everyone!

Cleans to 145 - thanks for the tips Tony5

"Mary"
AMRAP in 20 minutes of:
5 Handstand Pushups - sub push-ups
10 Pistols - on rings
15 Chinups - sub rows

7 rounds + 4: ring rows were slow this morning - had to switch to sit-ups after a couple of rounds - shoulders still an issue.

Fun to get a grinder though.

Last week, I struggled to lift 145 once. This week, I focussed on positive thoughts and keeping the positive energy flowing and it f***ing worked! Felt like I was going to explode on #5, but, man, even that felt great. Drove home with a big stupid grin on my face. :) (great working with you again, Felicia, my deadlift buddy!)

WOD "Mary" AMRAP in 20 minutes of
5 pushups (from knees)

Deadlift

Thanks Jodi,

Not sure if your paraphrasing me or not but if so it was meant to be more along the lines of "Stop being a pussy and keep going" :)

Warmup x2
Pullups tough again. 11 all told. Didn't worry about getting my 23 since they're in the WOD

Deadlifts
5x125,150,175,200,215,225
Boo yeah! PR by 5 pounds, and even then I only hit one rep. Felt great.

AMRAP 20 min
Modified Mary
5 pushups
10 pistols using the rings
15 chinups on rings
7+5
Goal was 6. Got near the end and thought I could pull out 7. Tough but damn it felt good
Pushups were great
Pistols tough. Had control issues that improved by the end. Right leg is stronger. Flexibility in my ankle was a limiting factor
Chinups were tough as hell

Love the new clock. Wouldn't have gotten 7 rounds without seeing the time left

Pretty sure I dropped 5 pounds in sweat. Another great night.
February 22, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterRob
Elvira - ROCKIN' lift!

Warmed up
Bench press < 115x5

Then I left cuz I was hungry & craving roasted chicken... got some, thanks for asking!
February 22, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterKelsey
No daily squats as I lost track of time tormenting fat Albert.

Deadlifts to 410
225,265,305,345,385,410

Wore the belt from the first set so by the time 410 came around I'd at least have an idea, seemed to work.

Jason,

You're not competing this year?
February 22, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterMike C
MikeC,

Nope not this year. I was on the fence for a long time then I had to drop $250 at the vets getting the dog neutered and the decision was made for me after that.
