WOD: Push Press: 5-5-5-5-5 “Mt. Zion Church”- 2 rounds AQAP:500m Row250 Double-unders Post results/thoughts to comments Wow, not sure if I’ll be able to walk tomorrow after all of those double-unders, my calfs are toast. Great work on the Push Press guys, we saw some big numbers. Big props to Del for breaking the 300lb barrier, with a 305lb Push Press. For those who came in the evening we changed the workout slightly which I think was awesome. Instead of just being single-unders (if you couldn’t do double-unders), we changed the 250 single-unders to 5 sets of 40 single-unders and 10 tuck jumps. Definitely helped keep the heart rate up like the double-unders. Great work today guys. See you tomorrow. Cheers.

WOD: Squat Clean: 5-5-3-3-1-1 “Dranesville”-3 rounds AQAP:20 KB Swings 70/5320 Box Jumps 24/1820 Toes-to-bar Post results/thoughts to comments Great workout today everybody. I think everybody who was in yesterday is certainly feeling “Hawks.” Great work on the squat cleans, we saw a ton of PR’s and some pretty big weights being pushed around for each person respectively. I got CrossFit HQ to make a post about our workout yesterday. Check it out.

Champlain Valley CrossFit: Monday March 7th, 2011

Again sorry we had to close down everybody but the snow has taken a toll on the roads. Going to head over to gym shortly to see if I can even get in. Wanted to thank all of you who are such an awesome part of our community. We’ve seen some amazing transformations, some quite life changing. I’m going to start posting stuff like this more often, so if you’ve got any words for us, let us know. Thanks. From the MembersI had an hour for lunch today, and decided I’d shop around a little. And…today I purchased the smallest pair of jeans I’ve owned since HIGH SCHOOL! I almost flipping cried, Jade! I can’t thank you or Betsy enough (or Dani, or Scott, or Erik, or Bryant, etc). I feel like there’s so much more I can do now. I want to…
