Grrrrr! That picture will not get centered! Word press makes me nutso sometimes. Sorry guys.
See you guys at 7:30pm. Will be missing the 7am crew but I have some stupid work meeting to attend at 8am. Have fun and see you Thursday for some 7am fun!
Awake and dressed (even wearing sneakers). But just too ill and wobbly. I haven’t taken 2 days since way back when…but I need another day.
Back to bed. Love the 10 Death by 10. Jealous.
9 squats
14 sprints
14 squats-last time I remember not staying down between all rounds. This is a big improvement.
15 sprints and 1 run from 16. That got rough really fast.
anyone sign up for the subway series competition this weekend? I may be the only one.
B2B Tabata Squats – 14. I’ve never done this B2B version so I didn’t have a benchmark. I was shooting for 15 after round 1 but after round 2 I chickened out. I think 15 is a good goal. I think I’ll try shaking out my legs quickly at the top once per round next time.
Death by 10 – 16. Thanks 6 AMers for the help getting through the last one! I think 17 is definitely feasible for me although it’s a big difference from 16 since there’s no rest in between.
@Vikram – I miss you buddy! Get well soon.
@Jared – These Modern BCAAs are ruining my normally tasty protein drink. Yuck! I better see some improvements.
AVA – you have no idea how much I miss my Crossfit family. My wife just told me to quit moping…back at it tomorrow, hopefully. Going back into the office today.
Jared/Mike got me onto BCAAs too. Have to say that they’ve worked for me.
Shout out to Brett and his nephews (& Boo) in today’s picture. He had some funny stories about them taking on Brendan this Monday…
@AllisonNYC: I’m not sure if you are able to easily access the HTML code for the post in WordPress, but if you can: inserting around the photo code should center it! So it would look like this:

Hope this helps!
Weird, it deleted my coding! See the first response to this post: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-center-images
B2B squats, 10
I like how Brendan said “make the pain worth it”.
Im going to take that one with me all day!
Not so innocent 10 meter sprints!
I got cut off on my last 13!
6am CrossFit totally makes my day 😉
Have a great one!
Tabata squats: 12
Death by 10: 14 – I think I have a little more in me but this workout is still deceiving.
I fell up the subway stairs this morning. My legs are so tired after these past few days, especially today, that I couldn’t lift them up fast enough to keep up with the crowd. Rest day tomorrow!
V – Feel better! CFM will still be here when you recover.
Tabata squats: 12
Started at 14 for the first few, dropped to 13 then to 12 but @ Adam Van Auken started to get pretty intense in the last few rounds…lots of yelling going on! 🙂 got back to 14. Thanks Adam!
Death by 10: completed 15, couldn’t even start the 16 so I dropped out.
Tabata squats + sprints = awkward looks from co-workers when I yelp trying to get up & sit at my desk. 😉
8 squats
12 sprints
9 squats
14 sprints…just 2 measly steps from 15. Now I want a redo!
tabata: 14
my max was 17 by round 5 I was hurting but Brendan’s enthusiasm/”make it worth it” speech kept me going.
DEATH by 10: 14
@Mel- are you OK?
@Vikram- feel better! see you tomm!
Tabata squats: 15, although I got as high as 18. Next time, we should do this with some weight! Tabata front squats are the only way to fly.
Death by 10: 15 and a few steps from completing 16.
Crossfit Rehoboth
12 x 2 back squats at 135 lb
15 x 2 toes to bar

You’re just full of great ideas, Andrew. 🙂 Don’t go!
5 rounds of running the great lawn loop, 15 toes to bar, 15 burpees. Trying to enjoy the park while I can, looks like I may be getting a new job soon.
Date Auction –>DT and Brad
Hey all – DT and Brad are being auctioned for charity. Come out to the event and support the cause and get one of these studs on an evening out 😉

Nice that I finally see a photo on this blog worthy of posting!
My 10 year old nephew Liam (the one in the red shirt who is Jared’s height) told me the following after his 2 training sessions.
“Brendan is a very good squatter, and is almost as good me. It took him 15 year to squat like that, but it took me only 2 days, because I’m a natural.”
He has challenged Brendan to a squat-off when he comes back next year. I have to say, he is far and away the best squatter in the family.
Tabata – 12 (15 was the highest)
Death by 10 meters – 15 rounds
EJ! Thanks for the love.
I don’t know about Brad, but I hardly ever go on dates. Kind of an introvert I guess. Sooo strike while the irons hot!!
Hope to see you there, pay to play!
Finally forced myself to workout.. This is #4 this year. UG
3 Rounds:
12 Strict, Narrow HSPUs (Unbroken each round)
3 -2 -1 Rope Climbs
20 DB Squats with the 25s
I caught myself staring off into space a number of times. I’m wiped from sleeping in until 11 this morning.
10 squats – got 18 the first round, but resting at the bottom was tough! My feet were cramping up from staying in one position for so long.
12 laps + 11
Great job on the running Rolf!
Buy in: 2 mi run on tmill: 13:57
Then 4 RFT of 25 walking lunge 50 air squats
6:44
10 on the squats. Fell apart on the second to last round.
Death by 10m… 18. Legs were shot at the end.
Hi All,

B2B- 9….started off at 14 and it was a slow decline!
Death by 10m- 19+….17 (i think!).
i def finished 19 and went into the next round. I was tired and fucked up my counting so i just ran it out for the last min. I know i was behind Whit, so i’m guessing around 17?
great mobility work tonight Ali!
Xan, I spend all of my time in the gym worrying about you guys.. I need to worry about myself, too!
Now that we live closer I’m excited to get my workouts in easier. It will be good to get my strength & conditioning back on track!
You guys rocked tonight! Super impressed by Whitt & Cat tonight.. and Allison for managing to look so beautiful during that madness!
