Time for an AMRAP
Thursday, January 26, 2012
This is a 20 minute WOD...once you reach the last minute you can successfully complete...continue with each minute doing as many rounds as you can each minute until the time is up!
With a continuously running clock do one deadlift, one power clean, one thruster the first minute, two the second minute, three the third minute... continuing as long as you are able.

What’s Another Fifty?

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the exercise was named in the 1930s for American physiologist Royal H. Burpee, who developed the Burpee test. He earned a PhD in Applied Physiology from Columbia University in 1940 and created the "Burpee" exercise as part of his PhD thesis as a quick and simple way to assess fitness.[2] The exercise was popularized when the United States Armed Services adopted it as a way to assess the fitness level of recruits when the US entered WWII. Consisting of a series of the exercises performed in rapid succession, the test was meant to be a quick measure of agility, coordination and strength
For time:
150 Burpees

A Burpee, done correctly, is the greatest distance an individual can travel without any outside forces. Let's see you prove that today. These are from completely prone to jumping and touching an object eight inches above maximum reach. No reps for sissy jumps.

ReALLIEty Challenge
Monday, January 23, 2012
Allie over at Project Fit and others are putting together a challenge that "covers 3.5 miles of unique Louisiana terrain designed to parallel military training conditions, including running, crawling, jumping, hanging and balancing elements and obstacles." Sounds like a CrossFit playground to me! And they are calling us out. With it being in Iowa, there's no excuse not to. The race is March 31st ( the weekend after the Open ends. Relax, geeze!) and early bird registration is $65. Cool part is, if we can get 25 of us together to run, they will give us a group discount of $50 a person. The proceeds benifit wounded Veterens .
You game? Let's show them what we've got! I'll have a group packet at the box where you can sign up and pay. Don't do it online or you'll have to pay full price.
