My palms are already having a closed-door session to discuss whether or not they will allow me to go forward with this workout today. Apparently their argument is that today should be my day off after four on. Maybe I'll just come by to cheer some masochists on.
September 27 - First CFVB Dream...
A large number of "followers" has shown up for the 5:30 class. Too many actually. Thomi is sort of freaking out about the number and she sort of gets bitchy as a reaction. Then this really obese girl from my office shows us the proper way to HSPU. She kind of just rolled up to the wall. Weird.
This will be a fine opportunity to work on that butterfly kip that has been eluding me.
Adam....love the dream. I frequently have CrossFit dreams. Sometimes they are from CFVB and sometimes they are from seminars. I guess that stuff is usually on my mind most of the day, so it pops up when I go to sleep.
I have CrossFit nightmares about a land where every WOD is full of HSPUs and life is devoid of Diet Coke.
Lisa/Andrew.....you guys know you want to do this WOd!!!! ;)
19:38.....holy hands batman!!! qoute of the day from my chief as i returned from this WOD... this is not a joke....."you know you're wiped out when you drink a coke for breakfast and you still have no energy".....my head just fell on the desk. i wish that had been a dream.....
22:29 as rxd.. i was one of the few lucky ones that walked away today with only minimal damage..i'd like to thank robW with the pumice stone, for without his advice I would surely have shredded my hands :)
Andrew: 25:49 @150lbs & 40 inch tire stack
Lisa: 21:31 @135lbs & 20 inch tire
I have pictures of the proof of Andrew doing the 2 tire "box" jumps. I will send to you, Thomi. He was like a rabbit!...in a good way, I mean...he only missed the tires once in 100 jumps.
32:17 - not a good day, I had to laugh though b/c I found a piece of my hand that I had shoved in the pocket of my shorts at some point...
Yeti - I'm in to order a Buddy Lee - I'll put it on the board in the morning
30:28 95# deadlift and green band, then to black band for last 35. I ate spinach at lunch today, but my inner popeye never showed up during my pull-ups.

Strong work everyone on today's WOD.
Andrew, wow! A 40" jump??!! That's awesome!
12:10 as rx'd (i think...maybe 12:40? 2nd guessing myself now)
Jon G...I did heavy deads before the WOD. The bar was not my friend today. I ended at 405# and it felt HEAVY. What did you end at? 750#? ;)

Pat,
They pulled me out to Aromas for the Lvl I: DL'd 437 pounds in Budding's Wicked Awesome Compound. That one raised my blood pressure, so I called it.
Text me today's WOD: Thinking FGB isn't all that feasible out here, but will make due if that's what you're rocking.
Best,
Jon
