We had some fast times in the gym with Trevor throwing down a 2:06 Rx’d, and Ryan coming in and not being happy with his rowing time yesterday and pulling a 1:24.9 500m time. Hope to see a bunch of you tomorrow, if not, have a great weekend and great work today. Cheers.

WOD: – Work Your Weakness: 20 minutes – Rower Intervals: Record Fastest 500m. Should be max efforts, each proceeding 500m should get slower4x500m – 3 minutes rest between intervals Post results/thoughts to comments Wow, we saw some fast times on the rowers today. It was great to break in the two new rowers, or was it the rowers breaking everyone in. I think everyone really got acquainted with the rower and what it can actually do to you. You guys all killed it. Benchmark numbers here today which we will hit up again in the future. Hope to see lots of you for a benchmark workout tomorrow. Cheers.

WOD: – Deadlift: 5-5-5 – Strict Press: 5-5-5 – AQAP:100 Burpees Post results/thoughts to comments Great work today everybody. We saw some big improvements on the deadlift with everyone going a bit heavier today and exceeding their own expectations. We had two new folks in today Kate and Amy who did a great job and jumped right in on the action. Everyone’s favorite, burpees, rolled in to town today and I think crushed all of us in a very swift and simple manner. Awesome to see so many people do the workout as prescribed and do the entire 100 burpees. Good job everybody. See you guys tomorrow. Cheers. The ladies deadlifting at 5:45 AM…Julia hit bodyweight for 5 reps The evening crew hitting the deadlifts Trevor pulling 405 for 5 reps…beast 100 burpees for everyone…Kristi smoking it with the fast time of the…

WOD: – Overhead Squat: 5-5-5-5-5 – 5 rounds AQAP:5 Thrusters 135/9510 Burpees Post results/thoughts to comments Awesome work today everybody. As I said, we would have a shorter WOD today but I think you all found just how hard a short 5-10 minute workout can be. You guys all killed the met-con, and everyone’s overhead squats are getting that much better. It was great to see Marta in the gym today as well as George after some time off. Good work everybod, see you tomorrow. Cheers. Colleen and Laura in at 5:45 AM hitting the burpees 4:30 going through the warm-up Sasha hitting the thrusters in the met-con Bob and George killing the thrusters…good to see you back George – Jade

WOD: “Barbara”5 rounds AQAP20 Pull-ups30 Push-ups40 Sit-ups50 Air Squats Post results/thoughts to comments Ah, it’s finally starting to get cold outside…good thing we picked up a couple more rowers today. Thanks to Greg from C2 for helping us out, he also rocked the WOD today. For those who missed Saturday you got a longer WOD today, for those who hit both, way to kill it and push through two hard workouts. I promise tomorrow won’t be long, but that doesn’t mean any easier. Andre and Ryan started the On-ramp classes tonight and did a great job, you’ll be seeing them in the normal classes soon. Great work today everybody, see you tomorrow. Cheers.
