Tuesday 11-25-08

5 rounds:
Frankenstein lunges across the gym and back
15 knees to elbows

For those of you who weren’t here when Jobe invented his first workout, you got a nice taste of it tonight! Slightly modified from his original, it’s a great WOD!

Don’t forget to get your appetite revved up with a nice 9:23 am (Yes, 9 : 2 3 AM) workout on Thursday. See you there!

Did we mention Jobe was part monkey?

Nice handstand pushups!

I’m in Phoenix with Jess and we got a fun workout in at CrossFit Southwest while in town. Ken is the owner of CrossFit Southwest and this place is legit. Super welcoming environment, friendly CrossFitters, lots of Olympic lifting platforms and some fun exercises that will be in one of our WODs shortly. If you are ever in Phoenix, drop on in at CrossFit Southwest!

Ah, high ceilings and a sun roof!

But where’s the rum?

In true pirate form, today’s workout was a little squirley. It had a great way of sneaking up on you. Even though some were ready to walk the plank by then end, everyone did a great job!

Row me harties! Row!

Backsquats 5 x 5
Double Dose of MetCons
1) w Partner Heavy KB Swing 8 x 8 reps, switch off, do within a minute.
2) Tabatta V-Ups

It felt like old times! You and your buddies spotting each other as you benchpress heavy in the globo gym. It’s so much better for max reps with a nice side of pullups. Good times.
