    If you’re doing the TGU workout you might want to bring knee pads.  I did 100 TGUs once and my knees were bleeding a lot.  Then again, if you don’t want Sara to call you a pussy, I’d keep them at home.

    Coach Ryan just got me doing kipping HSPUs.

        i was thinking more Jackie Joyner-Kersee mixed with Abigail Adams sprikled with a light dusting of Annie Oakley.  But that’s just me. 

        • Dickie

          Bernadette Peters as Annie and Laura Linney as Abigail? That’s pretty hot.

      what’s with the weird formatting again?! ugh.

        You should be able to click “edit” after you post to fix such things.  Nice work on the WOD!

        • meret

          i don’t see a edit option. maybe ’cause i’m on an older browser?

          • Anonymous

            Possibly…try the latest Chrome or Firefox…both show the edit option after you post.

      NICE WORK! that’s a great time..meant you scaled properly to keep moving through the workout!

  • http://linsfitnessjourney.blogspot.com Linnea H

    Did this scaled with 8kg and only 14 TGUs in each round, and my shoulders still feel like they want a nap. 

    On the other hand, I’m much more comfortable with TGUs now.

    26th street corner WOD..as in..i hid in the corner and did this, while rapping along to missy elliot’s work it..”i put my thing down, flip it and reverse it”

    3 sets of 3..find max power clean
    83-93-100 (2 at this weight, failed the last rep), almost PR

    WOD
    8 rounds..60 seconds on..30 seconds rest..
    2 powers cleans, then spend the rest of the 60 seconds doing pull-ups..
    power cleans at 85#
    round 1 pullups = 13 or 14 (lost count)
    round 2 pull-ups = 9
    rounds 3-8 pull-ups = 8

    LOVED this WOD

    Did this scaled with 12kg – took me about the entire class but felt awesome on my hurt shoulder. Absolutely exhausted after this week, but have really enjoyed all of the wods!!!

    • Anonymous

       hopefully your shoulder is good to go next week  – great job today!

    • Amanda Long

      And when I said 12kg, I meant 8kg. I really need a day off…

    Yesterday’s chipper – 37:41

    HSPU 45+10 (reps 1-15) 45+25 (reps 16-30)
    black band pull-ups

    I was going to suggest it be called “Shit Sandwich” but in this case the shit was the bread.  HSPU took around 10 minutes.  Burpees took 15 minutes. Not a shining moment in my WOD history…

      You finished it man.  And these are the WODs where we shine the brightest!  :)

      nice work.

            Agreed. When I’m fast I congratulate myself for being fast. When I’m slow I congratulate myself for my grit and perseverance. I am frequently gritty. :)

  • Malcolm

    Used 20kg and it took about 30 minutes (I think).  Took about 4 reps to realize that 24kg wasn’t going to happen.

    Last chance to fill out my awesome survey inspired by CrossFit! As long as you live in the US/Canada & aren’t a pro athlete you can fill it out. Takes ~ 2 minutes. Thanks! 

    And if you have already filled it out, thank you thank you! Much appreciated.

          Oh you guys still around? I’m at work by 7AM now. Maybe you didn’t hear, the new cool is the afternoon classes anyways. We show up and lift heavy shit and do serious wod’s. Not wasting time with video interviews or any of that party organizing. Do miss you guys though.

      Can I please get this on a tank top?

  • Sara

    3 rounds with a 33# barbell. Took about 39 minutes. Then worked up to a 128# bench press.

  • Sean M.

    Since most of my posts are generally skewed toward grumpy, I figured I would try something new.If you haven’t read Avery’s article already…you should.  It’s short and on the surface appears to be simple, but it’s filled with a lot of accumulated nuggets of very good advice.  I’ve been doing CrossFit for a little over 7 years now and there are things in there that I still need to be reminded about.  ”even coaches need coaches” – That’s why I train with her.  Plus, she always has good advice, she has a great eye for movement, and she cares.    

    • keller

      change is bad… I’m scared of the impending doom…

      Sorry. I logged in as Sean M by accident.

  • Devin from CO

    I’m the drop-in guy from Colorado. I’ve crashed your AM WOD’s 15-20 times over last 18 months. I get to workout at a lot of different boxes around the country and just wanted to tell you guys that I fucking LOVE coming to CFNYC. Best energy, great programming, awesome people. 10 hours L8R and 3000 miles away and I’m still stoked from this mornings session – oh yeah, and I HATE TGU’s! Not sure how that happened. I think its cuz CFNYC has the secret weapon. Her name is Sara. Badass. You guys are lucky. Will be back soon. Thanks for letting me drop in.
