11:15 at 65#. Not worrying about weight right now, I have to get better at getting deep into a squat, so that is priority number one at the moment. The weight will come. Got a few rope climbs in there too, first time doing those, thanks for the form help B and Allison.
DU’s: Most days I have them, today I did not.
An amazing morning with the Coach. Squat clean and high hang position work. 5 x 5 @ 135 lbs squat cleans. Getting from extension to the drop. It is coming. Slowly, but yes its coming.
89 double unders. I had 100 in my sights. I was there, and then I ran out of gas. As I tire, I start jumping higher and that makes me more tired.
As soon as I did my last double under I started thinking my rest day tomorrow has begun.
Have a good weekend one and all.
Ran my first 10k today! Did it in 49:51.
Hard work at CFM paying off.
Have a great weekend peeps 🙂
7:29
53lb thrusters
First 4 rope climbs without feet, last 2 with feet
52 DUs in warmup!!!
0 DUs
Didn’t look at the time but did 53# thrusters and tried to climb the rope for the first time. Thanks for all your help Brendan, Allison & Amylynne!
10:30
45lb thrusters and rope climbs w/ feet. Major ankle burn. Ouch!
9 minutes. Thrusters felt great since we’ve done heavier thrusters lately and I did round one unbroken and divided second up into 12 and 8. Rope climbs were bad. It took me about 2:30 minutes to get the last climb and I failed twice. Taking off my gloves and gymnastic grips helped. Lol. I did them with my legs too.
@Tommy – Great 10k time! You clearly are in better shape than me. So no more excuses! Ha ha.
9:45
43# thrusters.
Rope climbs with legs.
Special thanks to Allison for assisting with my the dismount!! 😉
Still working on DUs (grrrr!!!!)
43# thruster
Rope climb with feet (first time rope climbing & surprised myself I could do it!)
Fun class, thanks Allison!
@Paige, the rope asked for number 😉
12.58 @ 75#
1st set rope climb with feet, 2nd & 3rd sets just arms from standing. First time doing climbs, will try from sitting next time.
27 d/u (PR). Handstands were shite.
43 double unders
8:09 with feet assisted rope climbs. Broke round 2 into sets of 10.
7:44 rx’d. Was a fun class, thx Allison and paige for the comic
relief!
* @paige the rope asked for YOUR number!
hahaha CLASSIC Amy!
I loved today 🙂

12:14
So so good to be back!
13:26 @ 35lbs. Rope climbs with feet.
Went light on the thrusters to ease back into things. Very excited to finally be climbing the rope!
Don’t you just LOVE Saturdays at CFM!!?? I met like 20 new people – all fun and fantastic. Plus I climbed a rope for the first time since I was 12!
10:57 @ 55 lbs (light for shoulder).
Smiling from ear to ear. Loved the skills portion of the class…hope we do more!
9:25
Rope climbs are my new goat,
By the time I did my last rope climb I had no upper body left and so had to use my legs. Nice job Xan!
95lb power cleans subbed
SO BEAT UP. No more boozing for a while.. surgery next week & then 6 weeks in a sling FML, couple months of PT and I’ll be right back in it.
8:10
did rope climbs with feet, should try rx next time
17:something @ 55#
rope climb practice with Allison & Bboy was really helpful. Got up the rope twice in 6-7 attempts, with Bboy’s help.
DUs: horrible today; sometimes you have it and sometimes you don’t
Handstand practice: VERY helpful! Started to get confident without the help of the wall
Post wod burger w/ Emma rx’d 🙂
8:45ish… We can’t all be Xan.
Highlights: 101 DUs. Broke 100 for the first time. Sweet. Bboy yelling from across the gym “nice fucking shoes Brad!” in reference to my sexy, new Adipower Olys. Sweeter.
Lowlights: Handstands. Just don’t have them yet without the aid of the wall. Shitty. Rope climbs without foot aid; fucking hard as shit, especially after thrusters. Shittier.
Solid Saturday at CFM. Always good to see your faces.
I just saw on post on facebook from a friend of mine that Virtuosity just one the subway series again this week. It pisses me off, even though I have not participated. Can we do something about this.
Lets commit as a box to put together some firebreathers and start kicking some competition ass.
@mike
I did try to put something together a while ago for this NYC Subway Series. Don’t worry there are always a ton of upcoming competitions and we have some fun things brewing at CFM.
rx’d #55, 13:46
Today’s WOD was for work effort, NFT for me today. Rope climbing wasn’t so terrible, but will be some getting used to.
Handstands- need to work on a lighter kick to get upside down.

Today was so fun!!! I’m so happy you guys enjoyed the drills and stuff! You all did really great!
I LOVE watching girls figure new things out and do things like pull-ups and rope climbs and lift heavy.. It’s Such a big deal.. I’m always happy to help you girls with a little extra here and there if you need it.
Boys, I love you too, don’t worry 🙂
Enjoy your Saturday nights!
Every min for 15 min do 2 cleans and in remainder do DUs
83# cleans
427 DUs
Cleans were too light so had a lot of time for DUs. Worked on form (which was needed) but will go heavier next time.
7:14, used my feet for last 2 rope climbs. Forearms were burning…
15:47 rx’d
Need to get used to Thrusters and work on a fluid movement so that I can pick up the pace
Rope climb felt good!
