CrossFit NYC: The Black Box

Great videos Kieth! Chad's new nickname should definitely be "The Guppy" based on how he's sucking air during those jumping pull-ups. Just kidding Chad, keep up the good work.

For today's workout, 7x3 push press:
185-205-205(miss #3 on this set)-205-209-210 -210(missed #3 here).
I followed that up with 6 doubles in the deadlift at 405.

Awesome lifting Adam. Very inspiring.

Was'nt feeling very strong today

Worked on double unders(finally). Got 30 in a row. Damn those things are tough. Now if I could only do that many in a metcon workout.

Adam, are you trying to keep the rest of us from posting our numbers by making us feel pitiful in comparison to you? Goddamn, I'm weak.

Keith, great videos, as always. Especially love the skin-the-burpees (or are they burpee-the-cat's?) from my birthday! They seem so much slower on video than how they felt to actually do them...

Great job fellas. 210, nice.
Kevin, strong as well. As usual,I will try to keep up with you at the 7pm class.
We'll see.

Anybody going to be at the 7am tomorrow morning, WEDS? For some reason, it works with my schedule.

My new goal! ;-)

Thanks everyone, I was quite happy with my performance too. I was at the 12:30 class today so I got to see Chad, Kevin, Grahamand even Court give their all. I'm sure the rest of you did spectacular too!
As for my finals, I have three exams per week for the entire month of May. Crossfit is keeping me sane! Thanks evrybody.

I just slept for 10 hours after my exam. Anyways, I did today's workout as Px'd but in 11:26. Four hours of sleep really doesn't agree with me. Oh well, I should've sucked it up and done better. Nice job Damnit and everyone else

185 DL
12min

Thanks for reminding me that we did the jailhouse 10 before. I was so spent afterwards I totally forgot that we did those, lol.

Any news on what went on at the Box today? What was the rest day workout?

Today's workout: "Kettlehell"

(courtesy of Keith's sick and twisted mind, and in honor of Court, who requested a KB workout today)

5 rounds for time (or call it at 30 minutes, which is what happened in this morning's class)

20 deadlifts
20 sumo deadlift high pulls
20 2-arm swings
10 right-arm swings
10 left-arm swings
10 right-arm snatches
10 left-arm snatches

ON-RAMP CLASS: half the reps

-------

When time was called, I was on my 17th 2-arm swing of the 5th round, using the 12 kg KB.

I also have a nasty lump on my left forearm that I am currently icing. Damn snatches!

CrossFit NYC: So tough, we also use poods for body jewelry

gee i am SO SORRY that today is my day off.

M/38/168/5'11"
DL 225, 21-15-9
GHSU 30-20-10
As Rx'd, touch & go w/no bounce.
7:27
Did this up at my other job at the 'Nox, where they have a GHD and you can't drop weight. Kevin came along to yell at me.
Sets were broken, but Kevin had me do some very useful declining ladders that made for a quick recovery; nice.
By the way, I had nothing to do with the design of kettlehell; I just suggested something with KB's to get ready for Steve.
As far as nicknames for our exhibitionist film maker, how 'bout "MT", short for "man tits"?!!!

Allison-you should use your hand, not your forearm when you're doing that...and you're supposed to affirmative statements when you talk about "that" part of your body. ;-)

That kb workout really was hell! Completed 4 rounds with the 1.5 pood at 27 minutes but had to stop cuz my hands were ripped open. Pretty painful. I looked at my hands and am wondering what other people are thinking when they see them. Bandages everywhere.;-)

10:20 Sub 195 lb DL, KTE's
