    I just have to say, that the comments on the previous beginners post does Coach Ryan a great injustice. The man deserves more than just a tank top to show off his ‘upper body work’. We need a mube: http://main.stylelist.com/2009/06/30/man-cleavage-mens-tube-tops-at-paris-fashion-week/ …shows off the shoulders and hugs the pecks quite nicely….oh yeah..

    Coach Ryan: “We are starting the new CFNYC pole dancing WOD, I heard it’s part of the Miami beach body program and gives you a huge swoll”

    Friday, the question of the day is, who is your favorite CrossFit athlete? The Games finals is coming up and I’m sure you will be cheering for someone and I want to know who will that be.

    My favorite athlete, along with some Thruster/pull up inspiration.

    Thanks to Coach Jeff for tips on hand care, as chewed-up hands remain my biggest challenge in kipping progress.

    7.5 rounds, 65#, gradual progress from no band to green/blue combo.

    Sully – I’m going with Chris Spealler. 106 unbroken pull-ups is pretty sweet in my book.

    Sully, what is the app to record your scores?

    • Sully

    this has nothing to do with fitness – but this guy’s radio show from 5/29 is pretty great.

  • RyanCWoods

    For the record; this was the end of me helping bring 10 squat racks, 5 men’s bars, and 5 bumper plate holders inside during the pouring rain. I did not have a change of clothes and hope all my beginner AM children appreciate what I do for you…bring your presents to class on Tuesday :)

  • BB

    6 rounds of thrusters, 5 rounds of pull ups. I struggle with pull ups. Sully, what was the name of the pull up program that you said would help?

  • Matt Cohen

    used 65#, 5 full rounds, then 10 thrusters and 6 pull ups. definitely need to start kipping – that’s the goal for next week according to Sully.
    and i agree with Jeff – i dig Chris Spealler. i saw a video of him doing pullups until his hands were bleeding. and i’ve watched a few of his instructional videos too – they’re pretty helpful, especially squats and double unders.

  • Ben

    7 Rds + 10 Thrusters (was adequately below parallel but horrendous form on thrusters)

  • Barbara B

    6 rounds + 1 thruster with 43 lbs. definitely need to work on my thruster form

  • Astrid

    Did 6 full rounds plus 4 thrusters. 43# and used the green and black bands for pullups. I often finish these workouts feeling like I should have pushed harder. Will use thinner bands next time.

    Also, have been doing mobility wod for a week now and am noticing definite gains. Like, I can sit in a squat without freaking out that I’m falling over backward.

    Did 6 rounds plus 10 thrusters with an empty bar at #45 and a maroon band. I probably should’ve done #65 and it might be time to graduate to black and green.
