I finished with three chinups and two pullups;
had to take a breather after the first three,
but I’m getting closer to my goal of five in a row by February!

What are your favorite WOD exercises?
(We’re using a park and our own bodyweight, so bear that in mind)

by cheekypinky in Uncategorized Tags: crossfit, Goddamn jump squats, harder better faster stronger, I love my crazy friends, RAWR, Swearing makes it easier, the Boyo, The Roommate

Warmup
250m run
Bikram stretching

30 lunges
20 pushups any style
10 star jumps
10 toes to bar/10 knees to elbows
5/10/15 piggyback squats

Piggyback squats are what you do when you don’t have weights–
just throw a Workout Buddy on your back,
and you’re golden!

…and possibly giggling.

Proper form is difficult when The Roommate's legs are a million miles long.

I get a lot of these looks on Crossfit nights:

"But I already *did* 160 pushups!"

"Do *all* the burpees?"

But it’s okay.
My fuzzy raccoon hat saves me from the wrath of the Workout Buddies:

"DO ALL THE BURPEES!"

Sh*t My Co-Worker Says

“Yeah. They like outdated stuff because they’re, like, religious.
Religious [sic] is outdated.”

“Ya know, I’m just not the kind of person who needs New Year’s Resolutions.
I sit on the couch every night and go, like, think about my goals.”

“Ya wanna know about sodas, I like, drink ‘em all.
I can tell you all about, like, the difference between Coke and Pepsi.”

(Actually,
Tuesday’s workout.)

Warm up, 500m run
Bikram stretching

25 bench jumps
15 burpees
250m run
1 min front plank/handstand/dead hang
25 squats
15 knees to elbows
250m run
1 min plank

A reasonable workout–
glad we got more running in this time around!

I’m becoming a fan of knees-to-elbows,
particularly since you have to hold your elbows bent,
which makes this a super abs and arms workout.

We’re all starting to get the hang of this,
so it’s time to amp it up–
I might have to go buy a sandbag for sumo squats!

If I Knew How:

I wish I could figure out how to blackout my site today.

Seriously,
SOPA and PIPA have terrifying implications.
Speak up.
Contact your representatives,
let them know that these bills hamper freedom of thought,
a free exchange of ideas,
and that the government of the People,
by the People,
and for the People
will not stand for that shit.

Brief Guide to SOPA
Technical Overview from Reddit
These Bills vs. DNS
Contact your government

(Links from xkcd, which is also blacked out today,
along with Google, Wikipedia, and a host of others.)

I feel ya, little plant.

The orchid on my desk is dying.

If I were in a movie,
I’m sure one of the blossoms would fall off dramatically as I leave my office.
Indicating something about my age,
my failed attempts at having a career,

Do you ever have those days (years)
where you just know for a fact
that your job will never be doing what you love?

Took it easy last night–
and went for recovery beer at Lucky Baldwin’s.

It was necessary.

Warmup

200m run
Bikram stretches

10 squat jumps
20 knee hang situps
30 plie squats
1 min front plank
1 min standard plank

I think we all just needed a fun workout–
there was a lot of laughter in this one.
The Boyo, James, Laura, and The (former) Roommate were all able to make it!

I tried for a minute handstand hold
on the last round in place of the standard plank–
I’m having a real issue with a nerve/muscle/something
pinch under my left shoulder blade,
so I only made it 30 seconds–
went back up again, of course, but that PINCH!

It makes me feel like a real weenie.

We’ll make up for this easy workout on Monday.
