By / October 5, 2012

Gym will be open on Sunday and Monday from 10am-12pm. Register on Zenplanner to book your spot. 

We’re getting philosophical today –

“Excellence is not an act, but a habit” – Agree or disagree? Why?

AMRAP in 10 min
2 HSPU and 4 Pistols
4 HSPU and 8 Pistols
6 HSPU and 12 Pistols
Etc.

    Aaaaw, man, I just woke up. I don’t know what I did to my alarm. Anyways 1st no-show for me, sorry guys. I do need the burpee practice though 🙂

    WU x 1

    Practice DU’s for 2mins: 35 PR of 4 from yesterday

    Cleans x 5
    85-95-105-105-105

    Thanks for the tips on the start position Pat!

    DU’s practice again, 62…doubled my PR from yesterday 🙂

    WOD: AMRAP in 10 min (scaled to pushups)
    2 HSPU and 4 Pistols
    4 HSPU and 8 Pistols
    6 HSPU and 12 Pistols
    Etc.

    Score: 135

  3. Maria

    Strength cleans x 5
    65-75-85-95

    WOD
    HSPU with ab mat and 10# plate (first time using a 10#, usually use 25#. Need to work on kipping)

    Reps 100

  4. Gillyon

    Warmup
    Back squat (3) up to 135lbs. Technique is feeling much better..so time to up the weight. Thanks Nat and Ron for the help today. And, thanks Pat for the hint on the knees last week. It made a HUGE difference.

    WOD WITH ABMAT AND PISTOLS STANDING ON A BOX
    64?? Really disappointed with this. During the WOD, I lost count and could not remember if I was on my 6s or 8s. I went with the lower number…so I hope that is why my score is so low.

  5. Trent

    WU x1
    2 min DUs

    Strength Push Press x 5
    105-115-125-135-145

    WOD – Reps 127
    HSPU with ab mat and 25# plate (PR used 45# before)

    Pistols were a little better looking than last weeks’. HSPU kipping came along pretty good.

    QOD: Everybody can excel once and a while, but to do it consistently its probably due to dedication which turns into habit. I suppose you could compare Excellence with Virtuosity as well.

  9. Joanna

    Tried today’s WOD last night with Kevin

    As Rx – 138 reps

    Happy Friday! Hope to see lots of you for Girl Power tomorrow!

  10. Kevin

    Did this last night with Jo. Walked in, fully expected to scale the pistols to a box. After my strength, I tried a pistol. And I did one! Ok, try the other leg. WHAT?! Now I have to do it Rx’d.

    107 reps in total. First workout ever doing pistols without a box! I told Amanda at the 5 min mark, I can stop now and I’d be happy. Big smile on my face the entire workout!

    So to everyone who has something they suck at, keep working on it. I’ve been doing CrossFit for almost 6 years, and I can finally check pistols off my list. With patience and hard work, you will succeed!

    6. Gillyon

      Yipeee! I think in the next newsletter, you and Jo should write about your crossfit journey. Especially your first year.

    7. Lora

      Congrats Kevin. There was no missing that smile on your face last night! Happy for you. You’ve waited (and worked for) this day for a long time!

    Never realized I was signed up, hadn’t worked out in a week due to almost-cold and not getting solid sleep. Glad I did it tho… Somehow each time, I end up WODing when I dont think I will… Thanks Jeff for the reminder!

    Which is why I had my pup with me, didnt plan on him tagging along while i WOD, but he behaved surprisingly well. Thanks if you gave him a little bit of attention while I was busy, I appreciate it.

    1. Eric N

      Such an awesome pup. I was enjoying the love from the little guy! Great job on the WOD man. Every time you and Gab are in a WOD with me it always ends well! 🙂 such positive energy! Love it !
