Nice picture. Miss you ELove – wherever you are.
Happy New Year to all our Jewish family and good luck to our Paleo team!
Underwhelming return to 6 AM after work travel last week. No Big Mike, Jared and the ladies. But we had AVA pumping “St. Elmo’s Fire” and Kenny Loggins.
SJ: 135
Have gone higher, but worked on form. 145 got too sloppy.
SJ: 215(PR from 205 on 8/27/12). I’m working my way up to Dale’s strict press.
Great to have you back, Vikram! Those jerks looked good.
I love the 80s.

Snuck into a hero WOD before Temple at Crossfit Westchester

2 rounds and 63 reps Rx’d.
They do not call them hero wods by accident.
See you all tomorrow
67# PR
Need to get work on getting deeper.
Thanks for the great coaching, Brendan!
SJ: 88#
Walking in to AVA’s playlist almost made me want to join 6:00!
Nice old 1.0 Crossfit class
#215
Felt great and comfortable in all my reps. Fast and deep on the splits. Great coaching B-boy
did the toughest thing of all for this wod- kept it light and actually worked on form
113. not a PR but tiiiired today and bottom of feet are hurting for some reason?! need to work on getting down lower and faster at the bottom and making sure my chest doesn’t tilt forward
Yo 6 AM Crew,
I have Spotify and would be happy to prepare a playlist of your favorite songs (if they are available) if you email them to me at adamvanauken at yahoo dot com. Peace.
195# jerk. I definitely have more in me, I am coming for you AVA!
99lbs 1 more lb than last time…
Great class!
Worked up to 135×1 on the PP. My PR is 165×3…will give myself six months…
Worked up to 138×1. I def have more in me, but I’m still being a bit conservative given my landing needs some work. Shout out to Brendan for improving my jump quite a bit today! It felt better than it’s felt to date. One of the blocking factors for me right now is the tightness of my hip flexors…they’re keeping me from getting that bottom position super solid and comfortable.
Worked up to 105 starting to feel better getting faster under but still need work. I think it’s a confidence thing. Not over thinking things is not part of my normal repertoire.

That was a fun workout but missing the CFM crew!
No time to make it to CFM today so I did some work in my apartment.

700 calorie in 35 mins on the stationary bike for active recovery. It feels like I dropped a 115 lb bar on my back while trying for a 1RM Snatch yesterday. Wait a second….
Interested in a t-shirt?

2.5 miles, 23:58 PR
L’shana tova to my people celebrating
SJ at 155 lbs.
Got 1 at 195#, but it was ugly. Went down to 190# and it felt fine, so went back to 195#, and failed miserably. Need to be faster on the dip speed.
Bikini challenge: 25 GHD’s and 25 T2B’s. Feeling those plank holds from the ERoc wod yesterday.
120 PR up 5 from 9/15
Was shooting for 100 but then remembered I did 115 on Saturday. 120 was a little wobbly, but felt good. Putting marks on the floor helped me be consistent
73#
first time doing these. Felt good. Need to be more aggressive.
165lb jerk – tied my PR from May
I need to get UNDER the bar and down further when the weight gets heavier
Split Jerk: 83lbs up from 73lbs last time
This felt good. Some lifts better than others. It’s a matter of gaining the confidence to dip and get down faster in order for me to go up in weight
98lbs. +25 from 8/27!!
205#, its been too long since I went heavy at this and lost confidence, I will get back higher soon
125# but boy am I wobbly in that split stance. First 1RM WOD was fun though!
Yeah baby! Summer of George!
95 (5) – 115 (3) – 135 (2) – 145 (1) – 155 (1) – 165 (1) – 155 (1)
165 is a PR but I still feel like I can go heavier!!
75×2
80×2
85×1
90×1
95×1
100×1
105×1
110×1
115×1
120×1
125×1
130×1
135×1 (PR, felt easy)
Felt like I could’ve kept going heavier, I think I started too light on this
115-PR
108# (PR, up from 95#)
Didn’t feel too bad, except I bruised the crap out of my collar bone on the way down. I think I had a few more in me, although I still am jumping forward instead of up.
Made it through Day 1 of the challenge! Craving Mountain Dew.
worked up to 73. 68 felt a lot better
need to not pitch forward on the dip
193lbs
Small PR but it felt fabulous! The whole workout was unexpected because I was so sick for the last couple of days and I haven’t jerked heavy in so long.. with any real success anyways. I was thinking I would just see what I could manage and stay light and then BAM!
Love how the days where you expect the least turn out so well.
I should have went for the 198 but by the time I unloaded the bar, racked it and loaded it back up & let the class in, I was wiped and didn’t go for it.
133 x 4, 143 x 3, 153 x 2
x1 – 163, 173, 183, 188, 193
Brought all of them back down to my shoulders except for the last one which I bumped on the ground.
95(5) 125(3) 145 165 175 185 190(f) 190 195(f)
was close to getting 195 but was spent, too sloppy
Maxed at 155lbs – possibly a bit heavier, but happy with a first 1rep max
22 x 3, 32 x 3, 37 x 1, 42 x 1, 47 x 1, 52 x 1, 52 x 1 of push presses
Will I make it tomorrow am?
85# jerk and stayed there. Need to work on a few things.
225X2,255,265,275,285x,285,295x
165# PR but sloppy on that one. Worked on form most of class with lighter weight.
