Hard Work

THURSDAY 110106

Another big group today.  Can't wait until they move all the stupid Hammer Strength machines out of Collier and into Trent so we can have some room to throw some dumbbells around and then run out the door and down the street (yes, in the cold - look at my face - I don't care...)...

WOD:
3 rounds for time:
50 push ups
50 sit ups
50 squats

Chris - 7:53
Neil - 9:18
Adam -11:15
Willie - 14:10
Tyler - 14:40
Henry - 15:43
James - 16:10
Rosalba - 17:19 (good push ups) 
Mike - 19:10
Marlene - 14:03*
Milton - 16:02*
Nickole - 16:08*
Angie - 16:41*
Sarah - 17:03*

Hannah - 22:00*
Diana - kid duty

* - scaled to push ups on knees

We didn't talk about scaling on this one.  Most everyone automatically scaled to push ups on your knees because 50 push ups is a lot.  150 push ups is mega-a lot.  While doing push ups on your knees is a viable option for scaling a workout with push ups, doing fewer repetitions with perfect form is another way to gain strength quickly.  Don't be afraid to negotiate with your coaches for a good number that is still challenging but is still do-able...

Don't forget to send in those ICE comments.  We need more pull up bars.  More CrossFit equipment.  Better childcare options.  More space to workout in (get rid of all the stupid Hammer Strength machines in Collier).  Just look down on the right side of the site for the link...
