Post time to comments.

  • Kevin

    Be prepared for some serious DOMS.

  • james_vergara

    After the virtual tongue lashing i touch on the blog yesterday for missing class, decided to make up squat day at the new 8am class. Thank you, Coach Tom for accommodating.

    FS: 3 x 185, 205, 225, 235, 245

    Did not feel strong in the FS today. Was hoping to get to 255.

    BS: 20 x 245
    Was apprehensive on this after 245 felt so heavy on the FS, but I made it through. Think we’re approaching an upper limit on this for me…

    Last thing, this was my first time lifting at the box alone and it felt very odd. I timed myself between sets, but not te same as working with others. Guess I should have gone to class yesterday after all.

    Great job, Amanda and Matt M. for your PRs on 12.3!!

    • Michael North

      Nice work Athlete James! I applaud your effort. I don’t care what Rory says about you.  You are alright in my book…

      • james_vergara

        Thank you, Athlete North and kudos to you too for 205 x 39. Funny about rory, he told me you weighed 225#.

      • Rory

        Clown

  • Amanda Long

    12.3 – 235 (205 for the games); was nervous about this one as I hurt my shoulder after the games on this wod but thanks to tips from Coach Tom, I was able to fix my form on the push presses and it made all the difference!!!!

    Congrats on all the PRs today!!!! Awesome werq!!!!’

  • Amanda Long

    Also, thank you Athlete James for counting for me and pushing me through the end! That wod is brutal!!!!!!!

    • james_vergara

      My pleasure, Amanda. You would have done the same for me. And I certainly wasnt doing anything else after my 20rm back squat.

  • Kameron

    12.3 – 273 Rx.

    • james_vergara

      Nice job, man. Level 1 certification is agreeing with you!

  • jenntang

    12.3: 228 Rx
    T2B has been my goat since the Open – I barely got 3 rounds back then. Good to know I suck less now.

    • Michael North

      Awesome improvement! You almost doubled your score?

      • JennTang

        open score was 142. I made myself do T2B every time I’m at the gym since then. Proof that you can absolutely conquer your goats.

        • Michael North

          Kudos Jenn!

    • james_vergara

      Great job!!

  • Sara

    12.3:  306 rx’d.  I’m sooo much better at crossfit when I’m not starving myself!

    • james_vergara

      BOOM!

  • Michael North

    12.3: 121 not Rx’d
    Started out Rx’d but the “weight-fairy” came around and took 20# of the bar for my PP mid way through the first round.  T2B still singles (and no reps)… Disappointing all round but not unexpected given my mobility issues. I am officially declaring I am making mobility my number one priority.  It is holding me back across the board in CrossFit.

    BS: Bodyweight x Age: 205# x 39 reps
    Make up birthday WOD from last week. Was pretty miserable.  Everybody should try this.

    • james_vergara

      Everyone should try this…at their real body weight!

      • Michael North

        Full disclosure: Weighed myself on my birthday (25th April) at 204.3lbs (after a month of no drinking). Likely weigh more than that now…

    • Jason L.

       173#x21…sounds doable

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=552915259 Annie Yearwood

    12:.3 185 rx (games – 198) 

    • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=552915259 Annie Yearwood

       OMG just realized I did 15 push presses each round!! ugh

  • Brady Butler

    Manion 35:23 at 115#

  • BenS

    12.3: 196 rx’d.  Up 24 from the Open.

  • JP

    1st WOD post; the allure of joining in on the daily banter has finally overcome me.

    12.3 – 176 Rx’d

    Did 51 Rx’d in the open before dropping the weight on PP to either 75# or 95# and I know my T2B switched to K2E shortly after, so it felt great to get through this whole WOD Rx’d.

  • Jeff K

    Pretty hungover this am. 174Rx’d, improved by 12 (I think) since the open. PP still heavy but more manageable. Pretty disappointed in this score, I want a rematch, I can break 200. Go Cotto! 

  • Jim S

    My west coast box tour continued today at San Francisco Crossfit. Fun to wod out of doors.
    A: 800m group run/sprint
    B: 20 AMRAP with 35lb dumbbells
    10x dead lifts
    10x renegade rows
    10x step up (20″)
    10x push press
    400m run
    4 rounds plus 30 reps.

  • Steve Slo

    Front Squats 3×5: 205# for all 5 sets.

    Back Squats 1×20: 205# for 17 reps. 
    I’m pissed I didn’t push myself to get the last three reps. I absolutely could have had them.
