    If you are familiar with these lifts then today you are a Big Dawg and should do the WOD as RX’d. If you are unfamiliar with the movements or new to lifting weights, then take this opportunity to ask questions and familiarize yourself with the lifts.
    Demo videos of all 3 lifts can be found here:
    http://www.crossfit.com/cf-info/excercise.html
    Today’s footwear recommendation is ideally weightlifting shoes, or at the very least, a hard-bottomed shoe or sneaker (along the lines of a dress shoe or Chuck Taylors). Otherwise, I’d recommend doing the lifts in your socks. Cushy running shoes will hurt your abilities in all 3 lifts.
    An article on why you should wear weightlifting shoes:
    http://www.exrx.net/WeightTraining/Weightlifting/WeightliftingShoes.html
    If you want to buy a pair, you’ll need to order them online. Just google “buy weightlifting shoes”, you’ll find plenty of options.

    There will be an 8:00 AM – 8:50 AM WOD tomorrow before the start of the cert. Depending on how smoothly that goes, we will consider having an 8:00 AM WOD on Sunday.
    We will have a 5:00 PM WOD on both Saturday and Sunday.
    At this point:
    Who expects to be at the 8:00 AM WOD tomorrow?
    Who expects to go to the 5:00 PM WOD tomorrow?
    Who expects to go to Brooklyn tomorrow?

  • Brendan Maher

  • Jai

    5pm both weekend days, if possible. Still hoping to make it in tonight. I assume no closure this evening, since nothing of that sort has been mentioned.
    We should have a snowball fight WOD named Snowtorious B.I.G. I did not coin that term, I’m just over-using it.

    225, 225, 235, 240 …
    felt really good on overheads and front squats. probably could add 10# to each. had to run back to work (operation shutdown has it’s limits) during the back squats, which were feeling heavy anyway after the recent total.

  • Craig F

    5pm Open gym both days hopefully. Thanks

  • Isaac

    Hey folks. Really enjoyed working out with the 12:30 class.
    95, 105, 115, 125 (pr), 135 (pr)
    155, 165, 175, 185 (pr), 195 (pr)
    185, 195, 205, 215 (f), 215 (f)
    Alright, Bryce noticed I was gripping the bar wrong on the back squat but I feel like I’m way behind on that exercise. If any one has any tips I’m all ears.
    -Isaac

  • Billy

    Does the 5kg snow shovel + throw x 100 meters count as a work out?

  • Dave D. (Crossfit Pittsburgh)

    Thanks to everyone for the great hospitality at the 12:30, it was great to workout at the famous “Black Box”

  • Emily

    Did yoga to the people today to help recover from yesterday and save my legs for a ski weekend!!! See you back at the box on Monday!

  • Mike K

    Billy, that depends… what was your time?

  • Ricardo

    Oh and Billy, how many burpees did you do every 20m?

  • Bryce

    I’ll be in on Saturday at 5.

  • Sara

    4 rounds for time;
    60 unbroken double unders
    30 unbroken wall balls – 20#/14# to 10 ft
    14:21 as rx’d. Had to restart the double unders a couple times but got them all unbroken.

  • Michael

    I’ll be in on Saturday at 5 and maybe the Sunday at 5 too.

    OHS: 105-115-125-140(f)-140(f)
    FS: 165-175-185-200-210
    Didn’t do back squats. 125# was previous PR on OHS, which went up pretty easy so I tried to make a jump that turned out to be greedy. Will try for 135# next time.
    Finished off with:
    4 rounds
    1 muscle up
    2 power cleans 135#
    3 HSPU
    4 KBS 1.5 pood
    5 K2E
    5:29

  • Billy

    Including hot cocoa and naps – time was 180 mins. HSPUs were scaled to snow angels..

    Different people in every country get the loans from different creditors, just because this is simple and comfortable.

    My shoulder is messed up. Anything with over head presses or handstands fux me up.

  • Mike K

    Power Clean triples
    205, 215, 225, 235, 245(1,f,f), 225(1,1,f) fatigue setting in here
    then CFFB WOD
    11:22 with 205 for bent over rows

  • Avery

    Not sure why, but just couldn’t get into the groove tonight. Lots of unexpected fails which meant this WOD was harder than I thought it was going to be.

  • Jai

    Let me enumerate my greed:
    OHS: 38#, 43, 48, 53f, 53f… 53f, 53f, 53PR, got it!
    FS: 53# (decided that was a warm-up), 63, 73 PR, 83f, 78f, 75f, 75f
    BS: 75#, 93f, 93, 98, 103f… wanted to keep going but by this point trainers had noticed that I was getting creative with “5″ attempts. Former PR was 110, think I tuckered out on the OHS.
    Have fun at the cert!

    Really awesome, I really like DIY projects. I’ve learned so much through doing my own diy projects over time, and saved a ton of cash also haha
