WOD: 3 rounds AQAP:25 Pull-ups50 Push-ups75 Abmat Sit-ups100 Air Squats Post results/thoughts to comments While I wasn’t in today, I saw some people battle through this workout on Sunday, and I saw the board littered with names and times. Great work everybody, you may be a tid bit sore from that one, it was A LOT of volume. Way to work hard, and no better way to get those bodyweight movements down than hammering some volume like that. Hope to see lots of you tomorrow. Cheers. Sefton battling through the sit-ups Busting out some air squats – Jade

Like we did with the Snatch last week, breaking the movement into a complex is a great way to hit different variations and/or pieces of a single movement and find where your really need the work. Great work on the workout, some of you worked through your first ever 50 burpees in a row, while others worked through a damn fast 50 burpees. Great work today. Working your weaknesses tomorrow.

Lots of PR’s on the press, and you got to smoke your shoulders with the met-con. Keep up the great work, and please, keep practicing the double-unders. THEY WILL COME. Many of you who didn’t have them a couple months ago can now do them, just keep working on them if you don’t have them. Cheers.

WOD: Overhead Squat: 5-5-3-3-1-1 “2011 Regionals WOD #3”- 21-15-19 – AQAP:Deadlifts 315/205Box Jumps 30/24 Post results/thoughts to comments I saw a number of people hit PR’s today which was awesome. One thing to remember, when we do strength work especially, don’t expect to PR all the time. If it’s your first month of training you’ll PR all the time, but if you’ve been CrossFitting for 6+ months your PR’s will be less often. Cherish the ones you get and don’t expect to get them all the time. They take hard work and dedication, but that’s why they feel so damn awesome to hit. Press day is tomorrow. Hope to see lots of people. Cheers. Brendan working through the deadlifts…since the end of September when he started he’s lost 20+ pounds, gone from 1 to 10+ pull-ups and gotten stronger across the board…eat paleo, train…
