    AMRAP in 20 minutes of:

    12 Push Press (35#)
    10 Pull-ups

    8 rounds + 9 pull ups. The 10th was a no rep darnit.

    On of my fears is drowning. Got 2 close calls (at the age of 5 and 12). Jamais 2 sans 3… so I have swimming lessons on my bucket list.

    1. Valérie Arseneau

      also got my first hand rip today… will be complaining about that all day. lol Thanks Pull ups.

      and good job Wendy 🙂

  9. Heather Colleen

    Awesome picture!!

    My fear is…well, I suppose my fear is that my fear will stop me from doing things. That I will fail before trying. I guess my fear is “fear itself”? Lol…

    I am close, very very close to overcoming this fear thanks to CF and the support from everyone here.

      Thanks guys, those are 2 of my strong points. I was most impressed with my endurance this morning. My cardio is generally terrible.

  15. Maria

    Foam roll

    WOD : 20 mins AMRAP Rx
    – 12 Push Press
    – 10 Pull ups

    Total rounds = 13 rounds

    Last time I did this in May 2011, I used a band for pullups and got 7 rounds. It’s really fun to compare I love that about CrossFit.

  16. Denis

    WOD : 20 mins AMRAP

    – 12 Push Press 65#’s
    – 10 Pull ups green band

    9 rounds + 12 shoulder press

    Awesome WOD.

    I am afraid of heights, even the pull up bars are kinda high

  17. Chantal L.

    Wu x 2

    Lacrosse ball and foam roll

    WOD @ 45#, black band

    12 rounds + 2 pullups PR 2 rounds and 2 pullups! 🙂

    QOD: I fear that I will plant face down and crack my skull on the box jumps. Boc jumps become so overwhelming to me that I could cry. In fact, I did before. Not sure how to overcome my fear, I have been doing them all through my 3 yrs of crossfit and I still fear them!

  18. Kevin Mack

    QOD: Injury that will keep me from doing CrossFit more than a week. Other than that, bring it. Ok, don’t bring snakes.…I hate snakes.

    10 Pull-ups Blue band for first 5 rounds; then blue and skinny band

    9 rounds + 5 pull ups.

    Great QOD…. mmm, difficult to answer

    A deep-seeded fear is of not being healthy, and have that stop me from doing the things I love to do.

    A more superficial fear is to try things that I feel I will suck at. As you may have noticed coordination is not my forte, and though I joke about it lots, I am chicken about things that I know will be embarrassing. Crossfit has helped me leave my ego behind.

    1. Michelle

      Great job on those pull ups! First five rounds unbroken… impressive! Might be time to go to a smaller band 🙂

    Loved the music in the 6am class…lol I felt like a gangsta! 🙂 Thanks coach Amanda and thanks for the tips on the push press!

    1. Crystal

      QOD: One of my biggest fear(there may be many) is the “I can’t”…always thinking I can’t do something. For one I believe of what took me so long to finally joing CFM was the fear of I can’t do it…and every WOD I slowly overcome that fear. I’m sure the nightmares will stop soon! lol

    2. Michelle

      Great work today Crystal! Sorry I kept bumping into you.

      And I agree with you, Amanda’s music choice was awesome. Felt like a bad ass!!

  27. Maria

    QOD: I have a fear when the weight starts to get heavy. I’m not sure if I trust myself, or maybe it’s fear of injury. I’m trying not to let it hold me back. I think I’ve improved over the last year.
    Yes I felt bad ass too..music was awesome!

  39. Corinna

    WU x 1

    WOD: Rx @ 45lbs

    14 rounds + 3 pull-ups

    Last time: 10 rounds + 4 pull-ups. Super pumped with my PR? I think the 10 lbs I have lost since September is helping me when it comes to the pull ups. I loved this WOD!

    2. Corinna

      QOD: I have a huge fear of becoming ill again. After six pelvic surgeries and spending three years not being able to barely walk, work or function for that matter, I fear that I will have a relapse. This is why I try to never take my wonderful life and health for granted!

    Foam Roll Friday! 🙂

    AMRAP 20 Mins:
    – 12 Push Press (20#) >>> arms & shoulders were feeling yesterday’s Pause OHS WOD. 🙂
    – 10 Pull Ups (Ring Rows)

    QOD: What do I fear? Hmm….how much time do you have?! 😛

    But seriously, though – fear of failure is a big one. Fear of looking silly or drawing attention to myself for any reason. Attempting new things, stepping out of my comfort zone, etc. – probably why I don’t attempt pull ups on the bar, even with the black band. Every time I do the WU, I tell myself I’m going to use the band and then I choke and just go with ring rows. Not that ring rows can’t be made to be more challenging, but I use them as a ‘security blanket’ of sorts.

      1. Corinna

        Your welcome Robyn! Your very next post will start like this.

        WU: 10 pull-ups with black band…smiles…

      2. Robyn

        It’s definitely a big goal for me to do these, although I’m not going to make much progress if I don’t try…so good idea for next post. 😛
