I wrote rx’d on the board but as I give it more thought, it was ugly rx’d at best. Rx’d weight, head to bar pullups and russian swings, 4 rounds. Thanks Hudson for helping me raise the bar today.
Way to challenge yourself, Michelle. You are really stepping up your game.
Thanks Jeff and it’s about time I did 🙂
In regards to “why sit-ups aren’t going to kill you”, I wanted to say I might not be dead, but the constant rubbing of my tailbone on the floor from yesterday certainly took a toll on me.
Sitting is difficult today. Any advice or hints to not do that anymore?
One of the small foam pads or a towel under your butt seam too help most people.
For some of us, a raw ass crack is the price to pay for fitness. I use one of the foam mats as Daniel suggested, but nothing alleviates it completely. Kind of like sore wrists in front squat, blistered hands in pullups, and strap-rubbed triceps in muscle-ups, I wear the wound like a badge of honor.
Bruised knees from burpees . . .
I’ve found yoga mats totally alleviate the chocolate strawberries. Fold the mat in half and tuck an edge under the abmat to keep in place.
Lol… the badge of honor was a nice tuft of “stay warm in the winter” coat removed and the wound went largely unnoticed prior to the hot water hitting in the shower that made me jump and shriek like a girl (not a crossfit girl of course, but a sissy girl)
AGREED!

I’m wrecked, in a “love it, gotta have more of it” kinda way from yesterday’s programming and today I got more of it like only a hero wod can deliver. RIP John Rankel.
Ran 15k in Vibrams. Untimed. Chose the wrench.
Nut!
Nice work. Hope those things get good traction in snow and ice for the apocalyptic “Winter Storm Of The Century, Of The Week” blizzard run to walmart Sunday for necessary survival supplies.
6 rounds just barely. Ran in the door of my sixth 200m with :03 remaining on the clock. Thanks for the encouragement Daniel and Hudson.
185 lb/1.25 pood.
Gold: 5+3
Glad I made it to the 1715 class. I was in need of a good hurt. 🙂
6 rounds + 4 reps Rx’d
The 200m run, although short, was the bottleneck for me. Something about swinging a 2 pood Kettlebell and then running just isn’t fun.
4 rounds + 23 reps, Gold.
Hands ripped for the first time tonight. Ouch!!
Rankel….nice to meet ya. This was tough..
5 rounds + 6 reps using 205 lbs on deadlift and 1.5 pood the kettlebell swings.
The kipping skill work was great, wish my hand s were in better shape for it:-( Great workout, kicked my butt, but I loved it!!!!
I hear the bruised knees from burpees… not to bad this time, but last time it was sets of 12 burpees I was ahurtin the next day!
Bronzed, sub row for run — 4 + 16.
Not a terrible start to the new year I suppose :).
