Mark,
Per our talk yesterday about deadlifting 315lb, 15 times. Depending on which method of calculating you use it says you can deadlift either 515 or 471 for a single.
Not that I would ever doubt your ability to deadlift 500lbs.... but like I said, high rep multiples don't carry over well when calculating one rep maxes.

love the kids pics!

Jax said...

Mark and Stacey -
Your children are soo adorable! I love the pics!

I can't wait to try Annie again today!!! My DU's are even better, so I'm hoping for a sub 10 min time.

kim sap said...

Laurie said...

I'm hoping to make to the 7pm class tonight. I may run a little late.

Maria said...

How cute are those three!?!?!!

Breeze... Kevin said the very same thing this morning. ah sweet double unders.

Doug said...

Just checked out the central east regional video on the main site (saturday). Tanya and Josh Wagner and their team win first place and she talks about the tough mudder in the vid. Pretty Cool!

Chris "Digger" or "Diggs" said...

First time with Annie ... I HATE HER !!!

Anyways, 13:32 Rx'd ...

Anonymous said...

First time with Annie too! Sucked royally since I suck at double unders but I made a promise to myself that singles are not an option anymore....so this was a first time in tackling DU. My time was 15:59. I gotta keep practicing:)

brett said...

3 future crossfit beasts!

I told Dylan, while he was rowing what appeared to be a 2k, he was a beast!
He said "i'm not beast"...so we settled on monster truck driver.

K-Swat said...

Chris "Digger" or "Diggs" said...

Maria said...

VERY interesting WODs for this weekend.

...Don't wish it was easier...

Steve C said...

8:27 Rx'd. PR by 2:02.

Handstands are another story altogether.

Great job everyone at 4:30. Jax, that was amazing. PJ, way to hang in there.

Silence the stain.

Pon said...

Thanks Steve!!

Bambi, too funny today, you and your comments are hilarious! See y'all tommorow.

Michelle "Slick #88" said...

Pics of the Saber crew are awesome!

Great job afternoon crews! Jax & Pon, crazy with the DU's!!! Leanna, congrats on the PR!

7:25 Rx'd (last was 12:59)

Bambi said...

What fun today w/ everyone at 5:30! Thanks for staying 4:30 crew, to watch & support!
10:03 Rx'd
I think that I'm getting a hang of these DU's.
PJ: Happy to entertain! Maybe we'll see you tomorrow at 3:30? :)

Jax said...

WOD - 6:34 Rx'd

I like that workout. Today was a 4:02 PR :)

Made some progress on handstands today!! Nick got me to do a few flips on the mat, I kicked up on the wall, but I'm still about a foot away. I WILL get a handstand soon! (I know it's totally a dorky thing to have such a big mental block with!)

Bambi - You were HILARIOUS today! I love it! I would love to just hang out with you for an entire day so I could laugh constantly!

See everyone tomorrow!

K-Swat said...

I think my time was 6:49, almost a 4 min pr whatever it was. Cool beans.

Sammy - I was able to do the 83lb snatch, but you better be ready to do more:) haha

Great job everyone today. Thanks Michelle and Leanna for staying with me and practicing some snatches.

Mrs. Wristbridge said...

I was miserable to see double unders AGAIN and assumed I would have to do modified sets. But much to my surprise, I some how improved over the last few days and Rx'd the WOD!

Jim Longo said...

Finished with 11:09, that's 34 seconds better then last time. I'll take it.

Breeze said...

Great pictures of our new CF instructor's! i bet they can do DU better than me!
Rx'd 13:37 My only request was that Pon and Leanna did not finish there WOD before I finished my first 50 DU!
Great work Jax, your Du are so quick.
It definitely helps to work through the DU in the WOD,it does make it get better.
PJ thanks for counting for me, I can't count and DU at the same time.
Greg , all i can say is that I feel your pain!
Funny Steve C, just read your comment

Steve M said...

first time doing annie... 8:34 I think was my time.

gotta get faster at situps and my double unders were off today. Couldn't find the rhythm

Thanks everyone for the encouragement on the forever elusive muscle up. I will get it before the week is over

Stacey said...

Thanks for the kind words about my kids! I couldn't agree with you more!
Jillian wants to be a CrossFit coach, Mackenzie wants to hang from the rings and Dylan takes his shirt off a few times each day and does his workouts! This is the best environment to grow up in and they live the CrossFit life!!

Great PR's today, Yeah Double Unders!!

Tania said...

Rx'ed my first WOD!!! (gotta start somewhere, right?) thanks Joey O and 7pm crew for the push and encouragment!!! time was a sad 18:??... but, DU's are getting better!!! even did 6 HSPU's with 2 abmats.. that is definite progress!!

Leanna said...

The kiddies are so cute!
Rx'd 5:29

Thanks Michelle!

Stacey said...

Way to go Tania, you are right you have to start somewhere, if you read the other posts you'll see people are knocking minutes off of their times. Grab that jump rope every time you come in, you will be banging them out!

Tania said...

Thanks Stacey!! you guys are great, btw!!! the pics of the kids, omg! too stinkin cute!! they are intense!! love it!!!

Atlee said...

Way to beat the mainsite to the punch Nick.

Higher Order Living said...

Atlee - Guess mainsite and I are vibin'...

To all who Rx'd/PR'd today - Congrats on your efforts and most importantly, your mental fortitude!
