Those “Big Batch Meals” are life savers! And super tasty too!
The Paleo Stew is my favourite 🙂

Was doing Ok until very last (left) Waiter…had to drop and readjust the dumbell a couple times and cost myself a sub-13 min time. Weight was heavy but probably just the right difficulty.
Good workout!
Nice deadlifts Blake! Happy to hear you are focusing on, and working hard to maintain proper form.
Nice time on the WOD. Those dumbells get heavy very quickly.

Thanks. I told Kevin they shouldn’t be called waiter walks, but rather ‘waiter ur arse 50m there and back as fast as u can’. haha

I encourage everyone to try out this week’s “Skill”: Ring Rows.
I have been subbing them for the last couple of weeks for pullups (overhead positions seem to aggravate my shoulder) and THEY ARE NOT EASY!!! Try them with your body as horizontal as possible OR elevate your feet on a 20″ box for an even bigger challenge. 🙂
If you aren’t sure how to do these, ask any one of the coaches to show you how.
I dd them for a few months about a year and a half ago when I hurt my shoulder. They are NOT easy!!

Pretty happy with the burpees since I only completed 81 in 7:00 during the 2012 Crossfit Open. That was also the single most pull ups I have ever done unbroken. The run was better than I had hoped. I will be taking three weeks off from running, jumping, and especially skipping.
Ooooh, had to get ONE more pull-up than me huh? It’s totally on now! Seriously that’s a sweet pull-up achievement! Nice scores dude.
Now all you have to do is beat then once you are in full-caveman mode!
Haha, I said to Kevin as soon as I finished that I had to beat Blake by one.

Wow that workout really kicked my ass. I went into it thinking the opposite would happen. 🙂
Nice work Christine! You smoked this one!
Next time: start with 25#
Great job Amanda! I know what you mean about ass kicking! LOL! It looked kind of tame on paper.
Good job!! It was way harder than I thought!!

Earlier today, I looked up “waiter walk” in the exercise demo videos and the thought, ‘doesn’t look too bad’ actually skated across the surface of my mind for a moment. Part way through the WOD, I was thinking, “I take it back! I take it back!” 😀 10# never felt so heavy! Ha ha! Oh dear…
But, I can add it to my “gotta start somewhere” list! ;-D
Great job, Robyn!
Thanks, Amanda! You too!!
Great work, Robyn! Your perseverance is always so inspiring. Way to go! 🙂
Thanks, Lora! I was so glad to be able to drop that wooden stick at the end of my last “Good Morning”!
You always make the WODs look easy! Amazing!! 😀

Super time, Shane! It is eye-opening to see how much stronger one arm can be than the other. I didn’t feel as “confident” with the weight hovering near my head in my left hand as I did in my right. LOL!

The waiter walks felt very heavy. I had to put the dumbbell down several times during each segment of round two and once during each segment of round 3 (got more determined or something, I guess). I was pretty discouraged thinking this was much easier and faster when I did it last year, although I was pretty sure I used the same amount of weight. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I did it last year in 15:16….woohooo….so an 11 sec PR! I will take it! After the crap day I had at work, 11 seconds is a big deal! 🙂
Great job 5:45 crew! You all did AWESOME!!
