Adena will be representing CFNYC at the Barbells for Boobs fundraiser on Saturday (alongside Jason W. and Coach Will). Here we see her practicing upstairs in our new 4th floor annex, trying on the women’s rx’d load of 95# for 30 reps for the first time with coaching assistance from Sara. Good luck, Adena!

Here’s a preview of Friday’s WOD classes:

Complete five rounds of:
On the rings, lower from an inverted hang, slowly, with straight body and arms, 7 reps
15 Ring Push-ups
Move SLOWLY and methodically attempting perfect execution. Ideally this is done with two pairs of rings – one pair hung app. 8′ off the ground and the second 4″ off the ground.

Post impressions to comments.

        Allison FTW!

          …you know, until this very moment. I had always thought that FTW meant “fuck the world.”

          For years(!) I’ve been getting confused about sudden tone shifts in online discourse. Now I know.

    A: 5×135 3×155 1×170 1×175
    Don’t have a rack here so the last lift was limited by what I could get off the floor. p.s. That was a clean with zero style points, but it was coincidentally my hang power clean pr.
    B: RX 27:45

    18:31 8×10, jumping pullups
    maxed at 103# on front squats, which is a PR, I guess, since it’s the first time :D

    I left my silver lifting shoes in a cubby tonight…can someone please leave them at the desk/not take them/not throw them out? Thanks!

    5/3/1 deadlift

    8 at 352 felt heavy today, might not have recovered from last weeks 12 x 333

    ring dips in best hollow position I could hold

    12-12-9 about 4 to 5 minutes rest between sets, almost got it down.

    A) 155×5, 185×3, 225F
    …I sequenced this all wrong. I should have started with 185×5, 205×3, and then 225 (pr attempt). Next time!

    B) 23:43 (8 rounds)
    This is the very first “high volume” pullup WOD I’ve done without any assistance! So, this is a pretty big win for me. A good day.
