Elba and I had very much fun planning our lives as deperate houswifes of Moncton if Vince and Trent killed themselves on those box jumps. Quite impressive, I was kinda scared to look.. lol!
Goob Job Vincent!!! I am glad you guys did not hurt yourselves, Chantal and I were so scared, thats all we talked about it, right Chantal?? !!! No, really Amazing job!!!
Bench press x5 for 8 sets

Time 1:31:1. Pr of .3 but still have some work to get under 1:30. Thanks for the cheering 7am’ers.
Congrats on your row PR Darsey! You are VERY close to sub 1:30. Next time, try it before a workout, when you’re still fresh. It might make a difference
Bench Press x 5

Nice sharing the bar with you Brian.
Tried wall climbs/shoulder touch thingies but still couldn’t do them, Chantal suggested to try the pike position. Then she suggested holding my legs against the wall. BINGO I could do them and know exactly why I’m always falling. Thanks Chantal.
Saw Vincent doing the Box Jumps so I “Hopped” on board. Worked up to 47″
No PRs, but a nice ‘change-of-pace’ workout. Thanks Kevin & Patrick for helping with the technique behind everything…much appreciated!
Today is my 1 year CrossFit Anniversary. I started to write a little blurb of thanks but ended up getting all “wordy” so I posted it as a blog instead. Thanks again to Kevin, Jo and all the coaches for all your hardwork to make us better CrossFitters and better people alll-around.
Here’s my 2 cents… http://noturblogger.blogspot.ca/2012/10/a-year-of-crossfit.html
Happy 1 year Anniversary! Congrats on a fantastic year. It is always a pleasure to have you around the gym. Your positive attitude and sharp wit are very welcome additions to our little community.
Loved what you wrote on your “non-blog”. I have to admit, it got me a little choked up. Thanks for sharing.
Mob, Wu x 2
Strenth Bench Press
five reps of 25,30,35,45,50,55,60,55
2 min plank, 1 min plank, 1 min plank, 1 min plank (hugs with Carley in between).
Some people were practicing box jumps at great heights. I decided, since I tripped on every curb while walking the dogs earlier, I would decline. I am quite aware of yesterday’s WOD!
Bench Press x 5
45-55-65-75-85-95(PR for reps)-(100 x 3 & PR)-(100 x 2)-(95X5)
I love bench press day.
Super happy with this. Last May/12 I only managed 95X 2, and November/11 failed at 95#. I think doing this WOD in the evening as opposed to 6 a.m. may have been the key factor. I’ll have to test this theory next time.
Great sharing the bar with Marie & Jason. (Even though they had to keep taking weight off when it was my turn) Marie, you made every lift look so easy. So strong!

Really fun lunch class today, just 3 of us! And I love bench press day!
5x 45-60-70-70-80-90-100(3)
I just realized I missed a set – I was supposed to do 95×3 and didn’t! It’s just as well I guess, my arms & chest are toast right now!
Last time we did 3′s for bench (Nov 2011) I got to 95×1 so it’s a small improvement, and I’ll take it!
Very strong, triple digits!
PR’s at any weight are always exciting. 5# is a big jump on this lift.
YAY Amanda!!! Congrats on your PR
Triple digits? Awesome!!
sweet!
Thanks ladies. And I made a mistake in my post: was supposed to do 95×5, not x3.

messed up my breathing on the last set and exhaled on the way down. Tried again but didn’t rest. No go.
Bench is fun but it left me wanting for the feeling of a good soul crushing WOD. Can’t wait for tomorrow.
careful what you wish for!!!
Yeah, I know right.
I do love a good beating though. CFM style.
Hush with those wishes…the walls have ears, or is it eyes….whatever.
