Reminder that the gym will be closed this weekend due to the Olympic lifting seminar.
What’s your worst excuse for not working out?
4 rounds
25 Burpees
Rest 1 minute
Compare to Jan.7/13
Ok peeps, we have been overwhelmed with wait list requests for the Hopper. We would LOVE to open up the registration to more people, but before we can do that we NEED to know that we will have enough volunteer judges to handle it. If your gym owners have not contacted me, get on them. If you have a Level 1 cert or judging experience, fill out the form on the following link. If we get enough judges, we will open up registration. Thanks.

How long is each round. I am away and want to try the wod. Thanks. Have a good weekend everyone!
However long it takes you to do 25 burpees. π Start a clock, do 25 burpees, rest 1 minute, do 25 burpees, rest 1 minute…etc
Thanks Amanda:)
I can’t make it this morning. Sorry.
Hey guys, can you cancel me out from tha Amanda show this am? I have a little one bot feeling well. Thanks!
QOD: Usually if I cancel, its because I’m too tired or too sore. I am conservative often so if I have an event coming up, I will cancel to be A1 for the event or cancel from being too sore from my event hehe.
Mob + WU x1
Foam Rolled my shot legs (from pistols)
WOD: 9:20
I am a little disappointed as I did 8:34 last time. Although last time I just came back from a long rest due to a cold and this time my legs were mega sore some pistols. Big difference!!
It was still a good WOD and very fun to heckle Heidi, lol.
Twice I cancelled due to stress and busyness. During those days I realize that it was the stupidest thing to do since going to the gym makes me more productive and less stressed. Never again!
QOD: …I’ll have to do my hair and makeup again…
I wont use that one again since I don’t think there are any good excuses left.
Hahaha!!
π
Is the QOD regarding working out at CFM or just working out in general??
QOD – Not able to think of a time I didnβt want to workout at CFM, but when it comes to training at home Laziness would be the worst excuse.
QOD: hmmm my worst excuse. Once I didn’t go because I was too grumpy! lol

Wod 11:13 (24 sec. slower than in Jan.) Boo π I’m actually a little surprised because I think my burpees have improved lately? Oh well!
Everyone has off days! Maybe the shoulder press tired you out π
Yay for your pr!!!
Awesome picture Quang. Keep up the great work!
Qod: Something about signing in keeps me accountable. I almost never cancel and if I do, I really have a good excuse.
Running on the other hand is something I do on my own. I’ve used every excuse in the book, … too cold, too hot, too windy, too rainy, too tired, too sore, too hungry, too full, too grumpy, too late, too early, too sore, too lame, don’t care, Why do I run anyways?
The funny thing is, I actually like to run!
My worse excuse for not working out was boredomβ¦.nah I donβt want to run on a treadmill, sit on a bike, stepper, sit at a machine and do leg curls for 2 hours, Iβll do it later today /tomorrow.
Signing in keeps me accountable (who wants to do burpeesβ¦)
I will usually only cancel if I am still awake at 2am (usually because of work :/ ), and there’s no chance I am going to be able to get up at 5 for Crossfit. If I’m sick, or really sore would be the only other reasons.
QOD: Hungover.
uggggggg
Won’t be able to make it to my 3:15. Someday I will be a regular crossfitter again.

Thanks, Kevin
QOD: All my workouts come after a full day of work at the shoppe. In the 3 years I’ve been with my family at CFM I must admit that my worst excuse for not working out is because I’ve tried to work in a quick 15 minute nap between getting home from work and leaving for my class… and when my alarm goes off I wake up and let that little voice in my head, telling me that I need a longer nap More than I need to workout, win. It’s only happened a few times. But it’s the excuse that I feel bad about later on.

My previous 1 Rep Max for Push Jerks was 145. 140 felt really good going up today, so I put 150 on the bar and got a new 1 Rep PR. Could have done more, but like Kevin says, small steps. So, I’m happy with my #5 improvement today.

DNF – got through 3 rounds and 8 singles but had to quit due to a leg problem. I was upset at first that I didn’t finish because I’ve never not finished a WOD. I then kicked myself in the ass and told myself to smarten up because I had cancelled earlier in the day as I wasn’t feeling well but then decided to go anyway….so I’m further ahead then I was when I cancelled, so good on me!
Great attitude about it. Anything is better than nothing and don’t forget that you did 83 burpees tonight! That’s not nothing!
Hope your leg feels better π
Yes, GOOD ON YOU! Some days, “showing up” is more than half the battle (especially if its a burpee WOD…LOL)

WOD hereafter referred to as ‘Crap load o’burpees’ or ‘Burpee suckfest’
4 rounds
25 burpees
1 min rest between rounds
Time : 11:28
I think that I miscalculated my 1 min rest between round 3 and 4… I think I only took 50 ish seconds so my time should be closer to 11:38.
I wanted to die in round 2. I thought I was going to die in round 3. I was grateful that I did die / pass out / puke in round 4. Fun times at Crossfit like always!
Great job 5:45 peeps! Have a good weekend!!
Oups…. that sounded like i’m suicidal… should have written ‘grateful that I DIDN’T die / pass out / puke in round 4’. Still waiting for the oxygen to return to my brain π
