    Hey everyone, just wanted to personally put the word out for why you should attend the Paul Jaminet talk on Saturday.  Jaminet’s book is well written and based on that I’m quite convinced that his talk will be excellent.  You do not need to have read his book to be able to get plenty from his talk.

    Nutrition and recovery are often CrossFitters’ second priority, after getting better at CrossFit but a huge part of how we get stronger and fitter is by smart nutrition and recovery.  Plus you feel less beat-up and enjoy life more because you get more bang for your buck out of the training we do.

    So please go ahead and pre-register now for the talk, I’ll be proud to see just as many CFNYCers there, not just Paleo Meet-up folks (who are registering through our co-sponsor, John Durant).

    Thanks!

  • Kameron

    14 rounds even. I don’t recommend hot wings and beer the night before WODing. MNF….what are you gonna do?

    CFFB last night

    Squats @ 410lbs 5,2,0  First set felt really good, but hit a wall. Hockey the night before didn’t help things either
    Press @ 180lbs. 3×5 These were fast and clean 

    Then some 42″ box jumps and sprints outside.

    I created a more specific version of Cindy for Beyond the White Board that I called Stuttering Cindy if anyone prefers to use that.

    • Anonymous

      Jai:

      I originally entered the workout this way, but I realized that there was no way to define the ongoing counting of round reps that spilled over into future minutes of work.  Each minute of work (with rare exception for most athletes) had either more or less than 5/10/15, so using the fixed system of BTWB you can’t account for this dynamic rep change, without being allowed the ability to define ten separate 1-minute amraps within the same WOD, with an aggregate total at the end.

      I emailed support about it because I really wanted this one to stand apart from people’s other Cindy results, but alas they said we might as well post it as Cindy.  here’s what they had to say:

      “I would say that since after each rest period you are continuing where you left off in the minute before that you could just post to Cindy. You are doing the workout, you are just forcing everybody to rest even if they wouldn’t normally.  Now on the other hand if you where starting over each new minute then you would have to make a new workout because your result would be ten mini AMRAPs. You can mark the results as not prescribed if you feel like it.”

      We tried…
