    I left my android phone at the 28th Street gym. Could someone in the morning give it to the front desk or something? I’ll come in the evening to pick it up. It already has a cracked screen but it still works.

    • Amanda Long

      Sorry I missed this morning! I ran out of mascara and god forbid I come to class without makeup on – Coach Sara would be so disappointed! ;)

      Great job this am!!!!!!!

      • james_vergara

        Quote for a certain unnamed, make-up wearing slacker:

        i get fancy because i feel like a fucking badass when i look bangin and can pick up 250lbs to boot …of course that should say 265#…BOOM

           Amanda, the girl that makes out-lifting most people look good.

        • Amanda Long

          Awesome article! Must start wearing full makeup to class then maybe I could really start lifting heavy things!!!!!

    • Michael North

      Way too many references to me in this post. Nice work today. As per Will’s post below, get a pair of Oly shoes please.

    • james_vergara

      Great job, Justin! 20 reps of backsquat are no joke!

      • Justin Katz

        Thanks James

        That’s for sure, I was panting after

        • james_vergara

          likewise…

  • reisbaron

    20 Rep – 275#

    Wait…we had to do something else?

    • Michael North

      Edit: PR

    • james_vergara

      Nice job. Reis!

    • reisbaron

      Thanks…I learned a valuable lesson about doing the 20-rep fresh, and perhaps not after I PR my front squat triples :-) .  

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=556545004 Kaleena Castillo

    Max split jerk: 83lbs
    Backsquat x 20: 83lbs (PR, three months ago it was only 53lbs). Could have probably added another 10 pounds, but my ankle still won’t take excessive weights…grrr
    Tabata situps: 75

    Music playlist was banging today at 6am!! :)

    • Amanda Long

      Great job on the PR!!!!!

      • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=556545004 Kaleena Castillo

         I’m pretty sure it was because they were playing The Darkness’ “I Believe in a Thing Called Love” ;)

    • james_vergara

      Nice job…

  • Michael North

    Like.

    You literally described my gym bag.

    Other things:

    9. Ped Egg. For hand care to shave down callouses. For feet but works well for hands. http://www.amazon.com/Pedicure-Foot-File-Colors-vary/dp/B00113FENI

    10. Climb On.  For hand care following using Ped Egg or after hand tears. http://www.rei.com/product/635168/climb-on-skin-repair-bar-1-oz

    11. Lacrosse balls.  One single ball and two balls taped together. For mobilizing. http://www.mobilitywod.com/

    I need to get to another Will class soon.  Great coach.

    Posting an excerpt from one of Allison’s links (Ideal Crossfit Class):

    5.  When the trainer says you have 5 minutes to get ready for the WOD, you take that seriously, grab all of your equipment, and set up, politely making sure you aren’t moving in on someone else’s pull up bar or wall space.
    :)

    • james_vergara

      CRAP, i was about to post that…

  • Michael North

    B: 1 x 20: 265 (PR)

    Up 10# from last time. Surprisingly felt very easy today. Did a TON of mobility work.

    Hip openers with Avery: http://www.mobilitywod.com/2012/01/episode-363365-pre-squat-hip-opener-mob-rx.html

    Mobility work helped to be in a good position in bottom of the squat to develop torque (this is the “knees out” cue you hear all the time from coaches)

    • Rory

      North pulled a Jamie F today…started his warmup at 6:15am

    • james_vergara

      Nice job…an hour of mobilizing clearly paid off!

      • Michael North

        Old creaky bones…

  • MadeleineT

    Singles and 20s seemed overly self-indulgent for me today.

    split jerk doubles: 95-105-115-125-135
    front squat 5s: 135-145-155-165-165

  • Asegal04

    Jerk: 215, can go heavier next time. This was my second time to jerk. thanks coach will for making me step up.

    Tabata situps 125

  • Amanda Long

    A. Split Jerks – 85, 105, 115, 125 (PR) – have not done these in forever! Could have gone higher, but need to practice getting under the bar
    B. Back Squats – 115; should have gone up by 10 pds – next week
    C. Tabata situps with planks: 117
    D. 20 strict pull-ups (7, 5, 4, 3)

    Thanks for the tips Coach Ryan!

    This was probably the first 6am class that I have missed when I have been in town since January – missed you guys!!

    • james_vergara

      you cheated on 6am…we feel so betrayed…

      Nice PR on the splits….cheater

      • Amanda Long

        It only happened once! I promise it will never happen again!! I will change ;)

        • james_vergara

          People don’t change…

          • Michael North

            No they do not…

    • Kristin_Cunningham

       125……WTF awesome job!!!!!!

      • Amanda Long

        If you and I would have made it to 6am with James in our #crackfit shirts, I would have gotten 140!!!!! Next time…

        • Kristin_Cunningham

           I can’t get over this damn cold! :(

    Anyone have any recommendations for strengthening stabilizing muscles in shoulders?  I am hypermobile pretty much everywhere but especially in my shoulders and they are killing me lately after any overhead work.
