Coach Michael writes of his recent Elements grads: “All ex-Harvard athletes! From left, David (Rugby player), Lindsay, and Andy (both swimmers, and now they are married!) It was a coincidence that Lindsay and Andy were in the same class as David.” Guess we should call them “Team Harvard”? ;)

  • University of Hartford

    How do you know somebody went to Harvard??? They tell you.

    • Naveen

      Harvard just makes really good athletic gear.

      • David

        @UoH – Your comment just made my day! That Harvard pic is very telling…

  • Albert Insogna

    A: worked up to 155.
    B: subbed c2b pullups and 1.5 pood swings. 12 rounds, with a +/-1 counting margin of error.

  • dededos

    For folks who did the testing on Wednesday, is the alternative programming a set WOD as well, or is each coach responsible for coming up with their own? And if it is set could you share that info? Thanks!

    • Jason L.

      A1. Front Squat 3×6-8
      A2. Pullup 3×3-5 (add weight if needed)
      B. 21-15-9 Front squat (135#/95#), burpee-pullup

  • Aaron Segal

    A. 185 205 215 225
    b. 12 + 1 muscle up rxd…. one round less than last time

  • Joe

    This is perfect because last time I did “Nate” I wrote down in my log that it was too easy and next time I need to do a strength workout first.

    • Albert Insogna

      Zing.

  • Matt Braunstein

    Any chance of an alternate wod tomorrow for those of us who have already done testing? This has probably been asked 18 times already…

    • Matt Braunstein

      Yeah, I apparently stink at reading comments. Disregard.

  • http://www.facebook.com/ben.m.50 Ben M

    A: 4X3 Split Jerk 135, 155, 175, 195
    B: 7 Rds: Sub 4 chest to bar / 4 ring dips.
    It’s really hard to concentrate on the 3rd rep when your second rep at #175 hits you in the chin. Great week. Looking forward to my rest day(s).
