    WUx 2 (+ 10 dips)
    Push Jerks x 5 60-65-70-75 (x4) Still lighter than before. However, going down in weight, and Pat’s expertise has helped! I feel like the mechanics are coming back. Thanks Pat!

    Oups, got confused in my schedule and didn’t show up this morning 🙁

    I did a 5k run last night: 25:10

    Not a PR, and just a bit faster than my last, but felt a lot better. Note to self, don’t eat before running.

    Hi everyone, if you can’t make a class this week, you can post it here to let us know. Or if you have a cell and want to text, my # is 866-7451 and I can make sure whoever is coaching is aware.

  6. Blake

    Nice pic Helen!
    Have fun today peeps, I am in training all day but back tomorrow.
    Looks like a fun “quickie”!

  7. Mario

    Mob + WUx2 ([email protected], MUprog+dip*, T2B, DUs)
    * switch MU progression from 1″ band to 1/2″ band next

    Shoulder Press 3-3-3-3-3 = 140# (PR 3#)

    WOD Rx = 3:11 (PR 39 sec)

    Was waiting for this one to come back around, very fun. Bit of a grip killer. Good job 6’ers!

  8. Gillyon

    Warmup x 2 (one set with ring dips…yipppeee)
    Sumo deadlifts (3) 135-155-175
    WOD rx’d – 3:47

    That was the longest 3:47 ever. Recovery after the WOD was rough. Hard to catch my breath.

    3. Lora

      What’s with all you morning peeps with sub 4:00 WODs? Is Patrick whipping you or something???

      It takes me longer than 4 minutes to get out of bed for Pete’s sake….

  11. Trent

    OHS x 5
    105-110-115-120-125 (PR 5#)
    Wod Rx
    Time 4:00

    Burpees were the killer for me. Not sure how, but I will need to work on them during warm up. Sub with pushups perhaps?

    1. Amanda

      I was thinking the same thing – imagine if a Crossfitter went on the show! However…this guy only started Crossfit when he found out he was getting on. I don’t know how long he’s been doing it for…

      1. Mario

        I assume he must’ve had a least a few months. With proper diet and training he most likely made considerable gains fitness-wise.

        Can’t wait to see how he does in the individual immunity challenges if he reaches post-merge.

    2. Mario

      Actually was kinda surprised when I saw this, seeing as Stephanie and I have been watching this season. I dont think he’s had much camera time so far because 1. his tribe hasnt been on the chopping block yet and 2. two or three others are more prominent within his group.

      2. Mario

        Yeah, I think the end of last show was when he finally got some time on camera. Aligned himself with returning-guy w/ idol and baseball-dude. #crossfitguyissmart

        Now Im really excited to watch tonight…

    1. McDavid

      Yes….. That’s awesome man… Anyone who’s wondering. Shawn plays rugby for STU and will be kicking ass and takin names on the field. Should be a fun time….. Thanks for the update man. Still doing crossfit a bit up there?

    Great job guys :). I already know that Burpees will be the killer for me tonight lol.
    I also follow survivor, I love that show, but Mario you have to be a US citizen to be on the show, so I don’t think we’ll see anyone of us on there :p.
    Also, I was considering doing the legs for literacy run this weekend. Is anyone doing it?

    1. Amanda

      Off the top of my head for the Legs this weekend: Valerie, Trent, Vincent and possibly Blake? I can’t remember everyone. I know there is also a few from CF Dieppe going.

      And, Crossfit is all over the world and arguably the most supportive fitness community that exists. If there’s a Crossfitter at Survivor, I’m rooting for him/her whether I know them or not! 😀

      1. Mario

        Yeah even if he plays dirty I will root for him, because he can probably out-burpee all the other contestants. Respect.

    2. Mario

      By “one of us” I meant a Crossfitter. I’m painfully aware that you have to be a US citizen to get on the show. 😛

      Actually I was thinking of signing up for Legs for Litteracy (5k).

  18. Melanie

    Melanie B.

    haha ok :P. They should make up a crossit WOD (with burpees) for one of the challenges lol, would be fun to see.
    Yeah, its the 5k I was thinking about too, I’m pretty sure I can’t do a 10k lol.

    Form was so much better, no pain in my arm/shoulder and proabably should have gone heavier to start. Last set easier than it should have been 🙂 Finally some progress. Thank you OLY CLass!

    I checked my book and it’s been 2 weeks since I was last at the gym. I’ve really missed it and I was so happy to be there, today! I need to remember how much better I feel when I get a workout in! Giving in to my excuses not to go (aka falling back on old habits) = slippery slope for not taking care of myself in general.

    I have to say, though, that the gym looks SO awesome!!! I saw the video but being in the gym tonight, I was amazed at how much bigger it seemed! LOVE IT! 🙂

    And great coaching, Rob! 🙂

    2. Heather S

      So hard to come back fromold habits but great that you did! Keep it up girl – love having you at cftmoncton!

    4. Robyn

      Thanks, Ladies!

      I reserved a spot for tomorrow and Friday. Badly needing to jump back in (and stick with it)! I had a bad case of cancel-itis that I’m trying to shake!

    5. Helen

      It is so easy after a few days not to go, just book all your classes in advance. You are right, it sure makes a person feel so much better once they’ve been to CF!!

    Warm up by holding the bottom of a squat for 10 MINUTES!

    Strength – Front squat x7

    5 hspu
    10 Ring dips

    Cashout – walk/run about 14 blocks to make it to our top of the Rock reservation.

    Miss you guys!

    1. Robyn
