21 T Felt Great
7/7/7 P-U Felt less great
9/6 T Felt like crap
5/5/5 P-U Couldn’t FEEL anymore
9 T Blacked out
1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1 P-U Felt Good Good Real Good
not my best time but even Danny said my reps were all solid so this is a major improvement. Great job JP and Cas. Gordon..where were ya?
Have fun everyone…best part about 6am is that we are DONE!
Not my best showing either. For some reason 95# felt heavy from the get go. Maybe it was the 5 beers and superbowl food from last night…or the fact that I just eat like crap.
Would like to thank JP for getting in my face for the last set of 9’s. Did the last nine thrusters and pullups straight. Maybe I just need someone in my face for all of Fran…So uh, Alex, if you’re free next time we do Fran, I don’t know anyone better to get in someones face and call them out.
Fran: 8:27
Rd of 21 felt great and then down hill from there. Legs are still tired from last weeks DT and all the rowing getting ready for the CRASH B on Sunday.
NO Xplode usually helps my workout, but now I know never
to drink it on an empty stomach:
I did a litle googling.
Here’s what I found:
NO Xplode side effects
* Some users reported mild to severe
headaches
* Diarrhea is also a possible side effect
* Some users reported a better sexual stamina and harder erections
* Increased tension
* Increased blood pressure
* Increased heart rate
* Dizziness
11,10 Thrusters (easy)
11,5,5 Pull-ups (not bad)
8,4,3 Thrusters (the suck is increasing)
1,3,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1 Pull-ups (devastating, totally depressing)
3,3,3 Thrusters (tough, but just happy to be away from the pull-up bar)
1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1 Pull-ups (continuation of pull-up hell)
And to think I was worried about the thrusters. My pull-ups need a lot of work.
Thanks Kathryn! You’re totally right. In my mind I had a goal of 7 minutes. I definitely left at least a minute at the pull-up bar today, but even so, I still crushed my last time.
I hate you FRAN. 4:48. Missed a PR by 9 seconds but I felt pretty good (except for a very dry mouth, haha). I have to find a way to make up some time (yeah yeah yeah push harder, I know.) Butterfly pull-ups could help but I can’t get more than 6 or 7 straight. I’m not sure how much faster those are anyway. Next time I’m shooting for sub 4:20.

4:44 Like everyone else not my best effort plus I got initiated into the lunch club.. What kind of sick f#%K programs Fran after superbowl sunday?
February 8th, 2010 at 11:39 am
Ben – where was I – Jon explains it. 6am on Mondays have been tough to get up for lately – especially after a Super Bowl
I’ll try and go tonight
February 8th, 2010 at 1:33 pm
Super bowl party did me in. Have to work tonight to late. See everyone Tuesday morning
February 8th, 2010 at 1:35 pm
Deadlifts 3×3 325#
Fran–15/6 on the first set of thrusters–pretty easy
got to the pull-up bar and felt wobbly and light-headed
don’t know if it was the deadlifts, the thrusters or the
N.O. X-plode energy drink on an empty stomach
pulled the plug after 21 pullups
First time I quit on a WOD–not happy–I’ll make up for it tomorrow
February 8th, 2010 at 1:38 pm
NO-Xplode is evil Doug…that stuff makes me feel funky
My kids did buy 3 Webkinz from you yesterday so all is not lost.

doing “Fran” dizzy with a boner while crapping yourself is not the way to go.
February 8th, 2010 at 1:54 pm
Thanks, Ben
I think I’ve learned my lesson.
February 8th, 2010 at 2:12 pm

Joe, you PR’d by more than 90 seconds….cut yourself a break, man, and focus on the GOOD!!!
February 8th, 2010 at 4:39 pm

Afternoon siesta for time: broke it up into 5 rounds of 10-15 minutes. Feeling much better. Oh, Fran looks tough. Good luck with that.
Joe V: solid work buddy.
Doug: Just say “NO” to NO-Xplode

did the 6 pm class to make up for my non-workout at noon
did a modified Grace workout
30 full squat clean and jerks @ 135#–a lot slower and harder than power cleans
tried to work on my form–reset after each lift–finished in 12 min or so
February 8th, 2010 at 10:01 pm
Deadlifts are getting better and better! 3×3 @ 225 and the best part is that I KNOW I can go heavier!
Fran @ Rx’d: 6:58
Ninja HAPPY! [Ninja need new trachea before 6 AM!]
February 9th, 2010 at 7:47 am
Took it real easy on the DL….still a little apprehensive to go heavy since shredding my L5 a few weeks ago
3×3: 275-305-325
Fran 2:51 Coulda done better had my grip not still been smoked from doing DT Friday
