  • Coach P

    Round robin/man overboard
    500m row, dips: the first to finish the dips gets to row. If you finish next you row next, but u have to do swing until the other guy is done.
    Good work fellas!

    Did you get to meet Luke Day? Do the folks in Albany all work harder than you or anybody else at the Black Box? Are their men hotter?

    “I know that NYC has a strange magnetic attraction that holds all in its clutches, but I bet we work out harder than anyone at the Black Box. After all, we have more gravity upstate. Plus hotter guys.”
    ;p

  • ALLISONNYC

    Jeff: Luke Day is a funny guy.
    Sarena I hope you told that punk J we all so worried about him. He was so pumped and didn’t even make it. Glad to hear he’s alive.

  • Jeff

    I just noticed this, but the comic strip is titled “Grace”? No wonder why Mike had us practicing cleans today.

    Two days in Delaware, two workouts at Globo Gym USA.
    On the first day, I did some kipping on a pullup/dip contraption on which I had a half-neutral/half-chinup grip. What I liked about it was it had some kind of rubberized gripping material that made it so easy to hold onto. What I didn’t like was feeling like I might flip the thing over due to my kipping. Luckily, that didn’t happen.
    Also tried: some dumbbell snatches, though I ended up doing power rather than squat (which was what had been called for the in the Heroes WOD) because my lack of shoulder flexibility made it seemingly impossible to do them squat style. Maybe it was just the lack of Keith yelling at me that made them impossible?
    Today I ran around the “track” that goes throughout the gym (said track also functions as a way to just get around the gym, as it cuts through the middle of it, so I was on the lookout for random folks in my way. I flew around it twice (for what I’m guessing was ~800m) and then did some pullups and pushups before doing an all-squat workout that started with OHSs then moved onto front squats, then back squats. Could not get my hands on the one squat cage there, so I had to settle for the squat rack thingie which does not have adjustable pins (and which I had to step outside of to squat below parallel; therefore, no way to drop the weight safely if I had to). Given that situation, I was conservative on the amount of weight I did but still felt like I got a good workout. This IS vacation time, after all…
    OHS

    10 reps @ 45#
    10 reps @ 55#
    FS

    P.S.: I can’t comment as to the hottness of the men up in Albany, but the Black Box men sure as hell have got it going on…

  • ALLISONNYC

    I think ALL CrossFit men are hot. But you all knew that already.

  • sarena

    Actually Luke wasnt there, here was in CO skiing or something. But everyone was so awesome!! There were a bunch of ppl from schenectady ny, Troy, JRock and a bunch from ALbany. There biggest clientele in Albany is–believe it or not–the 40-55yof!!
    As to hotness, I think Black Boxers are the best!!And they do work hard but there were many levels so its hard to say who works harder!! I think that’s the beauty of CF–each one at their level and then some!!
    There were diff levels to the WOD (scaling wise), I did
    10 Burpees
    500m row
    5 burpees
    21 55# thrusters
    5 burpees
    60m walk lunge
    5 burpees
    30 jump RPU
    5 burpees
    100 single unders
    5 burpees
    Burpees were scaled btwn 5-20
    thrusters per weight or HSPU
    lunges fm 60-120m
    PU or MU
    SU or DU
    My time was 20:14, first metcon for me in a while. Felt awesome; was cautious w/ shoulder that’s why I cut my burpees back.
    The guy I partnered with (Matt, red T in pics)did 33 consecutive DUs.
    Here’s a link to a few pics, more to follow.

    Oh and btw, it was a last minute decision to go and I was so pissed I didnt have my Black Box T to wear, it was in the city and I came from the suburbs. And everyone up there asked for pukie bags, will have to send some!!
    Allison NYC, JRock said he never made it since there was ridiculous traffic yesterday! He is way cool!
    I got another rope burn from a rope climb!! We definitely need ropes in the new Box!!

  • ALLISONNYC

    Sarena word up on the Ropes. Not only do I have rope burn on my finger tips but I have splinters too .
    Trained an army guy today. Worked on the snatch and had him do Diane.
    Worked on the MU and he got his first one!! Man I think I was more excited than he was.
    I also did 3 dips. Now I just have to link the 2 parts together and I have a muscle up!
    I’m going to give it a couple of days then try because my elbow hurts. I think it happened from playing around with bicep curls.

  • marisela

    i haven’t done shit. i’m a fatass. 2008 here i come!!
    i don’t even have a globo to go to. i need a labodomy or the equivolent to that in the gut.
    p.s. i love my new tatoo!!

  • AllisonNYC

    Marisela: You don’t need a gym to workout.
    Do tabata squats. Do sit-ups, push-ups, burpees, lunges……..
    Also, check out Eva T.s blog. She posts a workout that can be done without a gym with every entry.
    Have fun and don’t wait for 2008 to get busy. It’s just another day.

  • sarena

    Marisela,

  • AllisonNYC

    Check out the WOD. Perfect for you MArisela

  • sarena

    Forgot my email is c1sarena@optonline.com

  • marisela

    as a trainer for the past 7 years, i am not coming from a place where i don’t know what is available, but from a place where i am suffering from a severe case of idis. 6 days worth.
    i do not thrive in a place of mediocrity. i want people to push me. they don’t push me here. i f$*@in hate globo gyms. i am just being lazy for the 8th x-mas in history.
    this is laziness, not a need for inspiration. my neice, sister and brother are inspiration enough.
    love the holidayzzzzzzzzz

  • marisela

    don’t mean y’all aren’t inspiration enough.
    y’all make me want to be stronger, faster, harder…
    best i’ve ever had
    love

  • AllisonNYC

    HA. Good luck with that. Laziness has nothing to do with a globogym or the people around you – mediocre or inspiring. You’re right, laziness is a personal issue. But since you posted about it I figured you were open to feedback. We should all be open to positive input no matter how long we’ve been training.
    I was just offering some suggestions. I should have learned my lesson the last time I offered some help. I won’t do that again.

  • Gene

    600 Meters on Treadmill
