  1. AWESOME newsletter Rob. Couldn’t have explained CF better.
    Looks like an easy and good meatball recipe that I will try in the next few days. Nice newsletter.

  2. Love the article on Rob 🙂 Thanks for the newsletter article on rolling (when are the best times to roll?) and the tasty looking meatball recipe Kevin!

    • When? Depends on who you talk to. Some say before, some say after a workout. Others say on rest days.

      Only you can decide what’s best. Try each for a few weeks and see what yields the best results.

  25. Snatch practice

    wod: 6 + 5 DU

  26. OHS – 1RM
    95-105-115-125-135-145 (PR by 10#) 🙂
    Excited about this! The last time I did 135# was July, 2010… a year and a half ago. I used a wide grip today too. My shoulder isn’t perfect yet but I may be back in business!

    WOD:
    10 Floor Wipers (135#)
    15 Double Unders
    20 Squats

    6 Rounds

    Floor wipers were tough! Did all FWs and DUs unbroken.
    Last time I used 115# and had 6 rounds + 13 Squats. 38 more reps.

  27. WU x 2
    Push jerk 5’s
    45-70-80-90-95-100

    AMRAP 12 min
    10 Floor Wipers 65#
    15 double unders
    20 squats

    Total: 5 rounds

    DU’s as single-double unbroken in round 1 & 2, then kinda fell apart – but I still did them :)!

    Kipping pull up practice (Well that was sad…)

    500 meter row – 1:50.0

    Almost gave up about half way through when my time didn’t seem to be on track for the 1:50 so I’m really glad I kept going. I love rowing!

    (Ang – It took us longer to set the rowing machine than I actually spent rowing!)

  28. WU x 2

    OHS x 1
    45-55-65-75(F)-70-75-80 (PR…thanks again to Jeff for the technique coaching!)

    AMRAP 12 min:
    10 Floor Wipers 90#
    15 Double Unders
    20 Squats

    Even though my Double-Under PR was…4, I decided to do the WOD with the DUs to hopefully push myself a bit. It took a little longer, but at the end they were starting to come a bit easier.

    Total: 4 reps + 10 FW

    • Great approach with the DU’s Blake – they`re horrible but you`re right, they get easier if you do them (at least that`s what I keep telling myself when the ropes wrapped around my feet :))

    • I remember once when my DU PR was 4. Keep on doing them in the WODs, you’ll be able to stick a few more together! My PR is now 14 (it’s been there for a while). Even tho I’m often discouraged in the wods because I can only stick 4-5 in a row, I keep on doing them, cause one day I know I’ll be able to do more!

    • keep up the good work Blake!

  29. Nice article Rob!

  30. WOD at the Y

    50-40-30-20-10 Double Under’s
    10-10-10-10-10 Burpees

    Time: 5:59

    A great warm up before my spin class. I was a little shy to be honest doing this WOD at the Y so I did not moan and groan like I do at Cross Fit because people were looking at me as if I were a crazy person! lol!!!

    1 hour spin class with Paul. He is one of my favourite spinning instructors. I could actually wring my shirt out tonight after his class.

    Nice work everyone on today’s WOD!

  31. WUx2

    Strength – Push Press X3
    75-75-85-95 (stopped due to very sore right tricept – Stretching tricept)

    AMRAP 12 min:
    10 Floor Wipers 115#
    15 Double Unders
    20 Squats

    Not a PR this time but did the Floor Wipers with 20# more.
    DU’s really slowed me down but nothing new. I refuse to do singles. Practice, practice, practice.

    Great job 6:30 gang!

    Great newsletter. Way to go Rob!

  32. WUx2

    I practiced my kipping pullups during the warmup, I did my first 15 pullups without a band, though very broken

    Push Jerk x 1
    95-110-120-135-145(F)-145(F)-145(PR)

    WOD: AMRAP 12 mins
    – 10 Floor wipers 85#
    – 45 Singles
    – 20 Squats

    Score: 5 rounds

  33. 2 sets of Back Extensions

    WOD: **Modified**
    ~ 20 double leg raises (used kettlebells along sides to assist)
    ~ 30 Single skips (Ooops… should have been 45) 😕
    ~ 20 Squats
    4 Rounds + 19 leg raises

    Will definitely feel that in the abs tomorrow.

    Great article Rob!!

  34. Great newsletter Kevin! Can’t wait to try those meatballs 🙂

    Awesome article Rob! My favourite line: (regarding the Intro WOD) “I can remember being beside Dan Phillips and just asking him to hold me. I finished that day with 7 rds and would never have thought there would be a point where I’d be doing it in just under 14 and I’d be the one holding Dan.”

    It made me laugh out loud….

  35. Strength: back squat x 3 (up to 165lbs) not my best.

    Wod at 65#
    Du- all unbroken and quick

    7 rounds + 15 du
    Fun wod today. I liked it.

  36. WU x 2

    Strength – OHS x 3
    65-75-85 … stopped because of my wrists. I think you’re right Gabrielle, I need to work on strengthening my wrists.

    WOD as rx’d
    4 rounds + 6 floor wipers

    Cashout : foam roller on quads

  37. WU x 2

    Strength: Back squat (x3)
    135(5)-155-175-195-215 (PR reps)

    WOD
    AMRAP 12 min
    10 floor wipers (sub 20 dbl leg lifts, touch toes to wall for bum shoulder)
    15 double unders
    20 squats
    Total = 6 rounds + 6 double unders

    Did this in July (with 85# for floor wipers) and had 6 rounds and 1/2 of a floor wiper but really cannot compare with tonights modified WOD.

    Great job 6:30 crew!

  38. WUx2

    Strength: Push Press x 5 – 30 40 50 60 and 60 again to try to get a better hold of it

    WOD: AMRAP 12 mins
    – 10 Floor wipers 55lbs
    – 45 Singles
    – 20 Squats

    4 rounds and 7 squats
    IM SO HAPPY TO BE BACK!!! Fun WOD today!!! 😀
    Great job 6:30 crew!!!

  39. CFWU x 2

    Deadlift (x3)

    215-225-245-285-315

    AMRAP 12 min

    10 Floor Wipers 95#
    15 DUs (did 5 DU & 30 singles)
    20 squats

    Total: 4 rounds + 3 squats

  40. WU x 2

    20 squats

    T: 6rds + 5 FWs

  41. WU x 2

    Front Squats x 5:
    85-95-105-120-130

    AMRAP 12 min

    10 Floor Wipers 65#
    15 DUs
    20 squats
    5 Rounds + 7 floor wipers

    Not a PR by a long shot. Compare to July, where I was just 3 squats shy of 6 rounds. Oh well, I’ll blame it on the festive season. On a positive note, my double unders are coming along, and I am actually able to string a few together. Lots of room for improvement, but I’ll take a small victory when I can.

    • ….& just read the news letter. Some great theory on foam rolling. Really enjoyed your article Rob. Entertaining, as usual.

  42. WU x 2
    Push jerk 3RM: 90#

    WOD @ 75#: 6 rounds and 2 FW
    DU’s felt much easier today… all unbroken except for one round… feels like a breakthrough… focused on jumping higher instead of trying to skip faster…

    loved the WOD… amazing for core strenght

  44. WU x 1 + 500 m row (used a yellow band for strict pullups and they felt easier than ever so I tried no band and I was able to do two in a row 🙂 ) – pulled something on the left side of my neck when I started my OHS squats on the second warm up set so I continued with only the exercises that wouldn’t bother my neck…

    Did no strength because my neck was hurting pretty bad…

    Modified the WOD – AMRAP 12 minutes
    20 leg raises – floor to touching the wall behind me
    16 lunges
    20 squats

    total 5 rounds and 15 squats

    Great job tonight everyone 🙂 It’s always great to come in for a workout and to coach!

  45. WU x 2

    Cleans X 5

    95-125-135-145-155lbs

    AMRAP 12 min

    10 Floor Wipers 105lbs
    15 DUs/ 45 Singles
    20 squats

    5rds + 18 Singles. I did 15 DU’s in the first & second round including a PR of 5 in a row in the first round. I switched back to singles after the second round because I could not get any momentum going. Turns out the rope was hitting the bar on the floor behind me. lol Anyway, the light switch seems to have finally gone on with respect to double unders, so, I suspect by the end of January, I will be doing all double unders.

  46. WU X 2
    Dead Lift
    185×1, 225×1, 255×1, 270×1, 280x1PR

    WOD

    AMRAP – 12min
    10 wipers #95

    Score = 6 + 3 DU
    Old score = 5 + 9 wipers

  49. WU x 2

    Strength: Back Squat 1’s
    95, 100, 115, 130, 145 (no time but felt pretty good to do more)
