WOD: Weighted Pull-up: 5-5-5-3-3-3-1-1-1 15 minute AMRAP:15 Kettlebell Taters 53/3530 Double-unders Post results/thoughts to comments Wow there were some beastly weighted pull-ups today. Nice job flying those kettlebells around everybody. Brought a little extra hand eye coordination into your training having to flip the kettlebell. I think some of you hit your first workout with double-unders, great job. For those of you that don’t have them keep working on those double-unders. Cheers.

1st Annual “Leave Your Inov8s at Home CVCF Holiday Extravaganza

When: Saturday, December 10th, at 7:30 PM Where: Sweetwaters Upstairs Super VIP Lounge for the Wicked Tough and Strong What: You and a bunch of fellow athletes and their poor significant others who have to hear about CrossFit all the time enjoying some delicious paleo and non-paleo delights. We sampled the menu and the cocktails. It’s no joke. How: Sign-up in Jade’s office and leave $20 per person (for food, tax, and gratuity) by Wednesday morning the 7th so we can give Sweetwaters a head count. There are limited spots, about 40, we didn’t know how many folks would respond or be around so get in while you can. If you show up and didn’t sign-up, we’ll have CrossFit Kids as muscle at the door throwing kettlebells. Don’t be that guy.

I saw a bunch of folks hit record numbers both in pounds and in reps at a given weight. Way to go. Abs and forearms were on fire today. Lots of opening and closing of that hip. A bunch of ladies have been asking for some 44lb kettlebells, I ordered some, just two, but they will be here tomorrow. Make use of them. Cheers. Therin with a swing and Jennifer…
