Do Olympic Bars Really Break?

225lbs Deadlift

Handstand push-ups

11:04 - happy - my hand push-ups are getting better.

So today I heard that 4 Olympic Bars were broken at the gym from dropping weight overhead. What do you think? I am calling bullshit because of all the people (that should be fired) that dislike CrossFit. I will investigate this and get back to you all.

I am almost through the Greg Glassman Speech he gave to the Marines in the CrossFit journal. I can't wait to get to the part in which he suggests all the US military civilian PT people should be fired. What did everything think of that series of videos?

Happy CANADA DAY!!!

HAPPY 42ND BIRTHDAY CANADA!

As Many Rounds as Possible in 20 minutes:

Run 4oo m

Max Pull-ups

Score rounds and Pull-ups

7 rds 101 Pull-ups

I am happy with this effort because I crushed my last effort. I could had time at the end to do some more running but decided not too...I am not happy about that. People that crush this WOD (150 plus reps), seem to do it in 6 rounds and just do a lot of pull-ups. I might try that next time, pace the run and hold on to the bar for more reps.

Hitting the 15 Percentile

7 rds for time:

15 Burbees

This WOD was f***ing tough. I broke up the squats after the 2nd round into sets of 5 and hit them hard using that bounce at the bottom of the hole. I got into a good groove but it was a very challenging WOD. I don't like to move into the greater than 20 minute time domain more than 15 percent of the time. Today was a day I did a long WOD and followed Coach Max's advice outlined below. I am happy with the way things turned out...my legs are smoked out.

Body Weight Overhead Squat!

(Tyler's delicious, Paleo friendly, stuffed pork and peppers.  Stuffed with ground Italian sausage, onions, fennel seed and apple)

Today I set a PR that I am happy about...BW OHS.  It is one step towards my goal of a Bodyweight snatch.

OHS

3-3-3-3-3-2-1 (in kg)

60-62-65-67-71-80-85 (187lbs)

Followed by Tabata Sit-ups

Paleo Keeping my Energy UP ^

I am blown away at the energy I have...today I got up at 0430 to go to work, worked 12 hours and did not get to the gym until 2000hrs tonight.  I was still able to complete a workout with a decent amount of intensity and energy.

Today's Max Fit USA WOD 

Back Squat 

50%/10 60%/10 70%/10 75%/10 - I just used 285 for the calculations and it was a good weight. My PR is 315.

Getting Stronger

Today I Pressed and was impressed with my results.  My press is improving a lot.  I hope my other lifts keep improving so that I can beat my old 1 Rep. Max.  I am thinking a CFT in a few months??  

WOD 

3 rounds

1 Rope Climb (22 feet)

10 ring dips 

15 pul-ups

8 min.

Expected this one to be shorter...my arms turned into spaghetti really fast.  Next time I will use more feet on the rope climbs and save the arms a bit more.  

"STOP MAKING SO MUCH DARN NOISE!!!!!"

I will let the video do the explaining for this title...some people really have a bone to pick with CrossFit...ENJOY!!!
