Today’s WOD:
The Chief
Max rounds in 3 minutes of:
3 Power Cleans (135/95)
6 Push-Ups
9 Squats
Rest 1 minute
Repeat for a total of 5 cycles. Score is total reps.
The Wilkes crew is coming to town on Sunday. If you want to seriously improve your Olympic lifts, these are the guys to see. Much of what we do at our gym was learned from Coach Wilkes and we can’t recommend them enough. Get out there to this seminar!
Chief: 19 rounds Rx. Good WOD.
18 Rnds RX.
I enjoyed this, but I have 2 issues.
1) not a fan of seeing eye to eye (even from a distance) with the crossfit mouse while I’m doing pushups; and
2) FYI. Last time RX was 85#; I’m hoping this is why my rounds were lower this time.
The mouse is a resilient and valued member!
You’re not kidding Jake. You should have seen the mouse exhibiting the 10 qualities of fitness as Zach tried to whack it with PVC pipe. That mouse has got skills.
I saw it was 85 the last time we did it and I’m not really sure why. 135/85 is kind of odd. We always do our splits at 135/95.
17rnds RX. Right in the middle of the last 2 times I did The Chief, 16 rnds in Feb. 2011, 18 rnds in Aug 2011.
Personally, keep the mouse — it’s the one member who I got more rounds than.
Chief: 19 rnds Rx. Squats, squats and more squats.
3/4/4/4/3: 18rx
Don’t worry Gregg, I’m not sure I can rx this. It’s 80% of my 1rm.
WOD: 6′s- 30 rds Rx
The mouse officially makes THREE at the noon class today. That’s right, 3. Peggy, the mouse and me. Yesterday noon was great with around 12 people. Today? I show up on crutches “with no shins” and Peggy and the mouse are the only others to partake. This is my disappointed face. I’d use other words, but they may get censored.
My wod:
5 rnds
5 L sit presses (115 first 2 rounds, 95 after)
1 min seated kb hold (like a farmers carry, 24kg each arm)
7 dead hang pull ups
9 dips
15:54
Some discrepancy about scoring methodology.
307(17Rds + 1 Rep.)Rx
Everyone gets an “RX” for pointing out discrepancies!
Haha, sorry, I did not do my post-WOD multiplication/addition “RX”
25 rounds + 9 reps. 459 total reps RX
20 rds rx. 4 each set. Screw that “every rep counts” stuff.
I feel inspired.
210rx
182 with 80#. First WOD ever with Rx push ups
343
327. Power cleans and pushups came along OK, but I spent the rest of my time eating everyone’s dust with those squats. Thanks, Chief.
This photo of you is amazing.
Likewise. We’re very photogenic.
Mine is actually a professional photograph. Is yours? It looks like it.
I could tell. I’ll bring in some wallet-sized photos to the gym so you can have one for yourself.
