A Tim Tebow Tornado Shall Smite Thee!

Today's punishment:

Back Squat
4 x 8 @ 75% of 1-RM
*Refer to 08.06.09

Result: @ 135 lbs (81%)

However, a funnel cloud was spotted as fans were entering the stadium, leading some to wonder if it was a sign sent to warn the Miracle not to mock Tebow.

Self medication

Let me catch you up...

Friday's punishment:
Writhing in back pain

Yesterday's punishment:
8x4 Push Jerks @ 75% of 1-RM
Result: 105 of 145 (72%)
Sadism scale: 3 of 5
Back still hurts. Fuck you Jason! DT got the last laugh after all.

Today's punishment:
3 rds for time of:
25 SDLHP @ 63/95
25 Push-Ups
Run 400-Meters
Results: 23:33 subbing the SDLHP with 40 WBS to save my back
Pukey scale: 2 of 5
Sadism scale 3 of 5

Uh, can't get past the back pain. I tried warming up with the SDLHP and it hurt at 65 lbs so Jason being the "nice person" that he is let me sub it out with WBS... then added 15 extras to not hurt his rep as an evil bastard. The WBS felt ok but I was surprised how much my weak back made the push-ups more difficult. Planking was no fun. The advil I took for a migraine last night helped, this got me thinking. What would CrossFit be like... on drugs?

CrossFit + Marajuana = DNF every time. "It's too hard man, lets just eat some donuts instead"

CrossFit + Ruffies = You look at the previous day's WOD and can't believe what you did.

CrossFit + Coke = Great for any workout < 20 minutes, bring a sweat rag. Just hope your heart doesn't explode.

Crossfit + Acid = Watch out for the flying medicine balls.

CrossFit + Extacy = Keep away from the roller foam.

CrossFit + Vicodin = Makes all the CrossFit pain go away... brings the pukey scale to 5.

CrossFit + Crack = You steal the CFFM AC unit.

CrossFit + PCP = Triple your 1-RM (and blow out all your muscles... then get tased by the police)

Suck it.

Red Dawn

Today's punishment:

AMRAP in 15 minutes of
10 KBS @ 16-K/24-K
Sprint 40-Yards

Results: 10 rounds... PATHETIC!
Pukey scale: 4 of 5
Sadism scale: 3 of 5

The commies came and conquered. Horrible, horrible effort on my part. I wore my power gloves so no excuses except commie swings suck giant ballz.

MK is back in town. It sounds like she had an awesome adventure and even toured some Crossfits out west. Jet lag didn't bother her one bit, she came back and crushed it like she hadn't missed a day. 20 rounds and at least an extra swing (that means she MORE THAN doubled me!) At least she was representing us out west!

I am coming to CF tonight to make up for yesterday. DT you were a hero and all but get ready to...

SUCK IT.

Oh Nooz, its Rowz

Today's punishment:

Four rounds, each for time of:
750 Meter Row

Results: 2:56.8, 3:00.2, 3:00.8, 2:58.2
Pukey scale: 3.5 of 5
Sadism scale: 3.5 of 5 (no penalties so no 5)

I can't believe I woke up at 5:30 AM for this shit. Not my best but solid and consistent throughout. I need to stop making "stay under 2:00 split" my goal because I think it slows me down. Also I should have used the chance to play with the dampers more but I tried to keep it level through out.

Might have to skip tomorrow, I have a feeling I am working all night again. THE MAN is evil.

Suck it.

Formula for Puking

Today's punishment:

21 Thrusters @ 63/95
9 Burpees
Run 400-Meters
15 Thrusters
15 Burpees
Run 400-Meters
9 Thrusters
21 Burpees

Result: 20:55
Pukey Scale: 4 out of 5 (HA BITCHEZ I DIDN'T PUKE, SEE HOW I TRIX YOU, I IZ AWESOMENESS !!!111!!!1!!!)
Sadism Scale 3.5 out of 5

My time wasn't fantastic but I didn't puke and I totally could have if I wanted to. I thought I had 400 meters to go so I was leaving a little in the tank for that so I should have pushed the last round a little harder.

I just realized this morning that the same medicine balls we squat on are same that we use to throw. So when you are doing WBS and feeling weak and one hits you in the face... you got hit with dried ass sweat. Think about it and...

Suck it.

The Beast!

Today's punishment:

H-E-A-V-Y Turkish Get-Ups!
1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 (L/R)

Results: 50 lbs on the barbell
Pukey Scale: 0 of 5
Sadism Scale: 2 of 5

I have never been a huge fan of the Turkish get-up. The whole movement seems awkward to me and I never really "feel" anything after I am done with them. Well that all changed after today and I started using the barbell. The limitation to the Turkish get-up before was holding the shoulder press a dumbbell or kettlebell while I awkwardly tried to stand. I look like Bambi trying to get up for the first time, its retarded. I can't remember what my dumbbell weight was but it was definitely more than the barbell. The barbell is all about balance and wrist stability. I guess I kind of suck at both because it took a lot of reps to get a clean lift. I definitely feel this one though. But enough about me... where the real story is at is Paul...

Congratulations to Paul for deadlifting a new PR at 425 lbs. That is ALOT of weight. To illustrate how much that is, imagine what the bar looks like with some plates on it. Now imagine if the bar was so filled up there wasn't any room left for more plates. That is how much he lifted. Fucking nuts, he is a beast. Oh and he did the CFFB WOD Lizzie before he set his PR. For those of you that don't know much about Paul let me tell you a few things about him...
  • Paul is married to another CFFM All-Star, Sarah.
  • Paul likes to drink Crown Royal.
  • Paul does not like to work out in the morning.
  • Paul is a fan of the Florida Gators.
  • Paul does not get older only stronger.
  • There isn't a bar big enough too hold all the weight Paul can lift.
  • When a WOD calls for AMRAP, Paul takes it easy so Jason's hand won't get tired writing down the number.
  • A WOD that includes rest is there so it can rest for Paul.
  • When Paul drops the bar after his lift, at least five buildings collapse in China.
  • When Paul does a push up he isn't lifting himself up, he's pushing the Earth down.
  • Paul is so fast, he can run around the world and punch himself in the back of the head.
  • Paul is the only man to ever defeat a brick wall in a game of tennis.
  • Paul can eat five times his body weight in tigers. (Part of his paleo diet)
  • When Paul throws a boomerang, the boomerang does not return because it is scared to come back.
  • Paul could power the country of Australia for 44 minutes with one spin on a stationary bike.
  • One time Paul jumped from the top of the Empire State Building and he only sprained his ankle.
  • There is no theory of evolution, just a list of creatures Paul allows to live.
  • When the bogeyman goes to sleep every night, he checks his closet for Paul.
  • When Paul crosses the street, the cars have to look both ways.
  • Paul doesn't break wind, that's the air crapping all over itself trying to get out of Paul’s way.
Suck it.
