    If I were a crossfit superhero, my name would be the Hebrew Hammer (only Jewish superhero I know). I would be able to do an unlimited DUs at lightning speed. I would be a magical, benevolent superhero, so I would grant Jane the junk in her trunk she has always wanted.

    I have to do some thinking about what my super hero name and power would be. Hmm…

  17. July 8, 2011 at 10:42 am | #28

    My CrossFit Superhero name would be “Bootylicious” and my superpower would be that I could “Front Squat all y’all’s Mamas”!

    • July 8, 2011 at 3:51 pm | #29

      I crack villains like walnuts in my giant butt cheeks! My butt cheeks also shoot lightning bolts that help small butted people lift heavy squats! MOUAH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

  18. Jeff
    July 8, 2011 at 10:56 am | #32

    My CF Superhero name would be “Thruster”.

    • Kevin
      July 8, 2011 at 11:07 am | #33

      You don’t have to describe your superpower. We already know !

    • Dan
      July 8, 2011 at 12:00 pm | #34

      lol

  19. July 8, 2011 at 11:19 am | #35

    My superhero name would be John Gonzales and my superpower would be that my shirt just disappears rather than me wasting WOD time in having to rip it off.

    Yeaaaaahhhh JG!

    • John G
      July 8, 2011 at 12:38 pm | #36

      wtf – hhahhahhahah I over heat easily

  20. July 8, 2011 at 11:32 am | #37

    My superhero name would be “Captain Power Snatch”. I would beat all my enemies with a mighty 45lbs bar blow to the chin. KAPOW!!!

  21. Kevin
    July 8, 2011 at 11:44 am | #38

    I would be Optimus Prime. Then I could wear my shirt that says “Don’t workout on machines. Be one” and it would be true.

    • July 8, 2011 at 11:54 am | #39

      I thought we were INVENTING names. Not use existing superheroes. In that case I’M Optimus Prime! Cause he’s just freaking awesome!

  22. Kevin
    July 8, 2011 at 11:57 am | #40

    Ok, fine…

    I’ll be “The Incredible Bulk”. Every time I deadlift, I put on a pound of muscle.

  23. krista
    July 8, 2011 at 1:17 pm | #41

    i think i’d be ‘Hefty 1/2 Pint’
    my superpower would be that i can grant all folks under a buck fity the power to put bodyweight over their head and lift at least twice their bodyweight off the ground

    I would be burpee and it has nothing to do with my ability to do burpees……..and there isn’t a move in crossfit called Fartee………but maybe there should be.

    WOD: 85# for floor wipers:

    6 rounds + 4 floor wipers: I probably should have used 75# instead of 85#. Thanks Lora for always making me push harder. Your floor wipers were solid today. I had a difficult time making contact with the bar every time. Good job on the double unders as well!!

    Thanks Sonia for coaching!

    70-80-90-100-110fail-105 one rep
    Form getting better but still over thinking it.

    WOD:
    AMRAP 12min
    10 FloorWipers
    15 DUs
    20 squats

    5 rounds
    Love this one: Same rounds as Dec but more weight and did DU instead of singles so pretty happy with that :)

    800 m run

  43. Gabrielle
    July 8, 2011 at 11:08 pm | #81

    WU – 1 hour hike with the dogs + mobility

    WOD AMRAP 12min
    10 Floor Wipers (75lbs)
    15 DUs
    20 squats

    5 rounds and 14 DUs

    Just short of my PR of 6 rounds but used a heavier weight with plates that weren’t high enough for me to slide under the bar ( so more work to pick the bar up and put it down) All in all, I’m happy and I really enjoyed doing this one one my deck in the sunshine :)

    I must say I thoroughly enjoyed reading everyone’s superhero names and powers – I laughed a lot actually :) My superhero name would be the Goat Destroyer and my power would be to convert all goats to favorite exercises… That’s the best I could come up with… I thought of the Cleaning Lady – cleaning lady by day and cleaning super power by night, but seriously, cleaning is just not something I enjoy or consider heroïc ;)

    Have a great weekend everyone!
