  • Dan

    I’d like to find a website / iPhone app to track WOD progress (particularly weights used and time to completion). Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

    • Richard

      I’m a very big fan of “beyond the whiteboard.”

    • Michael C

      Such a great idea I decided to search. I found the “WOD-CrossFit Logger” for the iphone. It costs $4 but it has good reviews. So far so good.

  • Sara

    18:36. This one sucks.

  • Erika

    BALLLLLLS AND SNATCHES!

    19:44 22# bar, 10# ball. So tough

    • Richard

      Love it!

      • erika

        you would! :)

        • Cassie

          of course he would..it’s Dickie

  • erika

    PS – good luck to will and peter & anyone else competing in the subway series tomorrow! WERK!!!!!!

  • Michael C

    Definitely underestimated this WOD.

  • Cassie

    what a great wod after a 3 week hiatus…great to be back!

    18:19, 33# on the snatches..

      Welcome back! Great to see you back at the box…

  • Cassie

    AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUSTIN K!!

    75# – Scaled volume to 20 reps per round – 19:57

    …hard to the core…

  • Alex P

    Dan http://www.wodclub.com is pretty good. I think it has an app, but I’m not sure.

  • Manny

    14:58 or something. Scaled to 45# hang snatch because I suck at snatches.

  • Jason W

    19:52 rx’d

    wallballs: (30) (10-10-10) (15-10-5)
    snatches (10-5-5-5-5) (5-5-5-5-5-5) (Malcom X)

    not my finest day. the less time you spend overhead and in the hang position, the better off you’re going to be. the key is to keep the bar moving on those snatches. if you pause at full extension overhead, you’ve lost. if you pause at the hang on the way down you’ve lost.

    I’ve used WOD and Mainsite Tracker apps. None work as well as beyond the whiteboard which, rumor has it, is coming out with an iphone app soon-ish.

  • Jamie F.

    Deadlift:
    5/5/Max @ 315 LBS – 11 Reps

    Wall-Ball/Snatch Couplet:
    33:08 RX’d.

    Not my finest hour. But stuck through it. I think what Jason said made a lot of sense. Was hanging out with weight overhead for way too long and it ended up taxing me when it didn’t need to.

    • http://wodalmighty.blogspot.com Reis

      Same here…looking back I held some of those for a few seconds each. Maybe if I didn’t I’d have gas in the tank for a 4th round of 20 (my contingency plan). As it happened I was utterly destroyed after 60 reps of each. There’s always next time…

    That sucked.
    20#, 45# hang snatches: 18:49
    Just started an account on Beyond the Whiteboard and so far so good….

  • Jeff

    I’m only halfway through the Bret Contreras article. It’s awesome.

    • Sean M

      “The spine was meant to stay in neutral your entire life and should never be moved. For this reason, side bends and Russian twists are out, along with getting out of bed, tying your shoes, sitting, and picking up loose change off the ground.”

      Best line.

      • Adam R

        Agreed. Kevin gives a great performance, the play is intense and intimate, I highly recommend it.

  • Madeleine

    19:59, 53# power snatches.

  • Annie

    Kevin – I was planning on seeing it on Sunday but now it looks like the hurricane is going to make it difficult. Hopefully it doesnt end up being so bad!

    • Richard

      …and I’m with Annie!

  • keller

    That was a sneak attack, way harder than expected.

  • Annie

    24:25 (14#/42#)
    Thanks to our new coach sully!! you were very helpful

  • Ralph

    First DNF tonight.

    My lower back felt all kinds of messed up after round 1 with just the 45# bar. Pretty disappointed, but what can you do? Can’t wait ’til Monday so I can try to redeem myself.

  • Kevin K

    Thanks for doing the 9 and 10 tomorrow. See you then.

  • Steve Slo

    Wow… Trader Joes is so fucked right now.

    • Steve Slo

      24:10
      First round at #53
      Second and Third rounds at #45

      Full-squat snatches quickly became power-snatch/front-squat combos
      Not my finest hour.
