Used 45# for the first 2 rounds then my body said nope, not today. Took the 5#’s off and used 35# for the rest. Killer sweaty WOD.
QOD: BBQ chicken Breast, spinach, avocado, red onion, goat cheese. Hold the bread.
Wait… Is this more a burger? Haha I don’t care. It’s delicious!
Smart decision, your time on the workout proves it! Nice work!

time = 7:32 (PR 1 min 13 sec). Was undecided whether to WOD or not today, tough week, but slept good…and it’s thrusters and burpees 🙂 Great job everyone.
Fun class Amanda!
Great job Maria!
How are you able to jump and balance yourself on a broken toe and crush this WOD? Great Job!
You were fast!
Thanks guys! Toe is much better, as long as I tape it and don’t put a lot of pressure on it, I don’t even notice it!
Nice PR!!
Awesome job!

First time doing thrusters with both hands. Not sure if it was a smart move, we will see by end of day.
Fast time Trent! I hope the wrist is ok!
Awesome Trent!
Did todays WOD as RX’d sadly didn’t finish in the time cap but made it to my last round of 4 with 3burpees left. Come to realize on the way home even with pennies i managed to miss count my rounds of 5 and did 6 rounds which made the rest quite difficult and resulting in not finishing :(!! Very disappointed in myself for not finishing but as i think about the week i am having i finished Delf yesterday (bonus) had a 16second PR on my 500m Row and now medicated so i don’t pass out as i work out 🙂
Thanks Mario for the awesome support today!!!

QOD: To enjoy the #PerfectSandwich you need the #PerfectSetting. Watching a movie, in bed. Ok setting is set, now for the #PerfectSandwich. The Can-O-Mex special with Elba on one side I’m on the other and Luna sandwiched in between. The #PerfectToppings varies between nachos, beer, pizza, Subway and a bottle of warm milk.

I love this answer!
LOL! Love it. I’d love to be part of your#perfectSandwich? Some Luna and nachos sounds good 🙂
Love it!!

QOD: Basically any sandwich with meat and some kind of hot sauce. I’m not fussy, if you make me a sandwich, I’ll eat it and love it. (as long as there’s meat)
I just realized it’s lunch time and I haven’t eaten yet so that may have affected my comment
haha “I’m not fussy, if you make me a sandwich, I’ll eat it and love it”
I love that – there’s nothing more rewarding that making something for someone and they love it no matter what. Every single time I make something for Patrick, he says: “*gasp* what’s this?” when I deliver it to him. It makes me happy!
Patrick is a wise man… 🙂
Nice work on the WOD Shawn!
QOD: when I was a kid, my friend andI used to make chip sandwich: Super sticky store bought white bread, helman’s real mayo and chips (regular or barbecue). Best sandwich ever…. Nowadays My favorite sandwich in the whole wide world is from the Duo cafe (beside Tide N boar): they used to have a BLTCA (Bacon, Lettuce, Tomatoe, Cheese and Avocado) on multigrain, toasted in a panini grill. AHHH
have you had their steak sandwich? Delish!

(Bonus PR: commenting on site 2 days in a row!! Woohoo!)
I see someone has been reading articles on getting stronger at pull-ups.
Nice work!
I did dead hangs too this morning

A year ago I’d have said a peanut butter and fluff sandwhich…but now, well the appeal is no longer as great. My perfect sandwhich would have to be one served in a bowl, sans bread, with chicken, tomato, lettuce, something interesting like corn or berries… and might as well throw some bacon in there.
mmm fluffernutters… I forgot about them
Me too Hannah – in a bowl. But sometimes picking up a sandwich is a really big draw so grilling a couple of portabellos and using them as a bun for a burger with the works hits the spot
So true! Portabello burgers get extra points if the dripping juice makes it look like you murdered an alien.

Thought about lightening the weight after the first couple of sets, but glad I didn’t.
Way to go! Super impressed that you had that lighter bar in front of you but kept pushing through!
all of this work PLUS a row! Good work 🙂
awesome!
Great job on finishing your row 🙂 and a PR 🙂
QOD: So many options. But you can never go wrong with Bacon Lettuce & Tomatoes
*sigh* Sandwiches are my nemesis. I love them so much. And I love them all. Peanut butter, grilled cheese, hot turkey with peas, toasted with cucumbers & mayo…frig I could go on all day.
I suppose my favorite one would have to be the ones I sometimes make on the weekends when we’re away or in the motorhome.. toasted with egg, tomato, bacon (lots), cheese, mayo, on those thin hamburger bun thingies. But like Trent said, in this case it’s all about the setting… I make those in a cottage or the motorhome so therefore they are special and more delicious. 🙂

QOD
I love Sandwiches!! I’d eat at Subway every day of my life if I could and I have an entrepreneurial Idea involving a certain type of Sandwich that I’ve been dreaming about for a few years now.
My favourite would be White bread (especially that D’Italiano Brizzolio bread you can get at Superstore) lots of mayo, tomatoes and pepper. Simplicity at its best!
Yum, I also love tomato sandwiches. Toasted? with a bit of cheese too? Mayo? Although just butter works okay here too. 🙂
It’s a great feeling when something “click”, isn’t it? Way to go!
I want to see Karen do one of those barbell rollouts!!
Me too! I’d also like to try one but I’m sure I’ll crash on the ground lol

Felt really nice to be able to safely lift by myself with the safety bars on the white rack, both squat and bench press. I’ve went to failure on both last sets without risk when failure happened.

50# was a struggle, and after 5 days in a row my body was slowing down and I don’t even know if I would call those burpees – I’m looking forward to two rest days at the cottage:)
Thanks Mario and good job to the few at the nooner today!
QOD: sandwiches are in my top 3 fav foods so this is a tough question…I love to make up lots of homemade sandwiches…but now that I’m thinking about this it makes me realize one of the things I’ve been missing the most since moving to Moncton in January is the convenience of lunches at Pete’s Frootique in Halifax. Their half-sized grilled paninis on flatbread with either roasted ham or chicken breast, roasted veggies (mushrooms, onions, peppers) cucumber, spouts, mayo and cheese….paired up with a small salad or smoothie. Sooooo delicious!
5 days is a row! And to end it with thrusters and burpees! Nice job on the WOD. Enjoy your weekend!
That’s a reply to your post Cara 🙂 Now all this talk about sandwiches is making me hungry! Hungry for a sandwich. A real one.
haha thanks Maria! I couldn’t believe how fast your time was…great job!

Twice this week I’ve doubted I could lift anything close the required % of my pr’s – ohd squat which I loathe and back squat which I now fear – and twice I’ve had no problem reaching them even though I planned to lift less. Weird

Omnomnomnom… Or a grilled panini with some pesto, goat cheese, tons of arugula, tomato, and pepper… Or grilled cheese (mozza with a couple basil leaves up ins) dipped in a spicy tomato soup… Or… Ughhh, now I want ALL the sandwiches 🙁
