I go very low on weighted squats to where I'm still under tension. On air squats, I just break parallel. When I do the weighted squats, if I don't want to go too deep I put a 20 pound wall ball behind me and squat until my butt just hits the ball

Thug kitchen. It's a really good book.

Top 3 rope climbs Muscle ups Thrusters Worst Rower (just don't like it) Ring dips (I actually weak at them) Triple unders (still learning them)

I agree with isulo, people tend to overdo their protein intake. Check out my diary from yesterday. I think I got in 10% and I am starting to go into cutting/ weight gain mode.

Want to be really good at DU's... don't wear sneakers... :noway: :laugh:

Summer... you are very passionate about OCR!!! LOVE IT!!! I will def be getting it about a week before my next chosen race... I would love to do the Ohio Trifecta but, life needs to be on the same page as my mind... haha

DID IT!!! I am a Trifecta Tribe member! :drinker:

I'll be there Saturday running at the 8am wave.:drinker:

WHAT IS your wave time?

I am a PUSH IT TO MY LIMITS kind of athlete. I HAVE to eat. I know I need the reserve calories that I am going to burn up. If I DON'T eat, I know I could possibly throw up or maybe even faint if I deplete all my energy. But, that is me... I can actually eat 10 min before a WOD and it not affect me due to training my body…

Next week.... All I can think about is how COLD it is going to be :(

wow, that made a lot of sense! thanks! (I did buy it though, before I read this. I will give my take on it in the future). Your explanation does make a lot of sense.:drinker:

My box as well uses Wodify.

I will hit my trifecta in 13 days :)

oh yeah, I agree, in the regard to the movement. I see all types of "kipping" and even though my gym teaches it one way, many of the members still struggle with the dynamics of it and their kipping looks rough. I can see how it can cause impingement and pain by aggressively trying to make it up the bar. I have no joint…

July 19, did the Spartan Sprint: Finished 25th due to damn burpees...missed the Spear throw September 6th, did the Spartan Super: Finished 22nd due to damn burpees... missed the Spear throw Vermont... I will get the spear throw....

We just did a WOD that was: 100 burpees every 2 min time (2:00, 4:00,6:00...) do 10 95# thrusters I counted 28 burpees in my first minute, 19 in my second minute which is the only full 2 min time, due to completing 10 thrusters. My total time in completing the burpees was 7:33 with 30 thrusters thrown in the mix. grueling…

I am curious, and I ask because I had the same thoughts regarding kipping until I read an article on the breakdown of kipping and butterflying. What injuries do you foresee on doing proper kipping?

True that! Favorite is anything bodyweight (muscle ups, HSPU, burpees, rope climbs) Least Favorite is box jumps

Our Gym defines Fairy Jumps as alternating lunges in place. Jumping from one into another. I hope I explained it correctly :)

I am @mikeyD1280 on instagram

ours was a partner WOD only ONE can work at a time EXCEPT for the runs, that is together run 800m together with a 70# awkward block (carry together or switch back and forth) (we switched) 30 wall walks (we did 5,5,5,5,5,5) 30 bear complex (we alternated) 60 pull ups (we did it: 10,6,14,20,10) 60 push ups (we did 30,30) 80…

I'm crazy... I rather DU without shoes on... :noway:

Thanks! I will have to take a look at it!

I did my first Spartan race which was: 2014 Spartan Sprint at Blue Mountain, I even made it in the NBC video they showed August 19th a couple of times (I didn't get to see it... bummer) I signed up for the 2014 Spartan Super in Vernon, NJ which is in a couple of weeks and I JUST signed up for the 2014 Spartan Beast in…

How is everyone doing now on the DU?

if your goal is to get lean, up your calories. Your muscles NEED the energy. Crossfitting that much and not eating enough will put you in a plateau.

Does your box subscribe to WODIFY? ours does. It is where you can log in your results, as a gym. The cool thing about Wodify is that it is also an app for your phone AND there is a video library of a bunch of different movements. If your box doesn't have WODIFY, see if it has a similar app so you can check out some great…

how did it go?

you... are a beast!
