WOD:
7 Rounds For Time of:
7 Thrusters
7 Knees to Elbows
2 Rope Climbs
** Every Minute on the Minute, Stop and do 3 Burpees
If you struggle with rope climbs but you can make it up the rope you can scale to 1 Rope Climb Each Round.
OR if you can kind of get up but are afraid to go up all the way, do 2 half rope climbs so you can get down easier.. Just work on using your legs properly.

I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.
- Michael Jordan
first time climbing a rope ever
Amy, thank you so much for the sock!!
23:31
Happy Friday everyone!
Amazing 6 AM vibe! Love that krew!
-Lara’s first time rope climbing…killed it…
-Rolf “the Kaiser” Edelman Rxing beast…
-Larger-than-Life Mike leading the charge…
-Each and every one of you!
20:06 @ 65 (shoulder feeling better, but don’t want to push it)
Thanks, EJ & Lauren! Happy Fry-day. This one is a killer.
20:52 Rx’d.
Just when you think that Metropolis sit up ass burn is the worst thing that can happen to you along comes rope climbs. I may not wear a dress sock for a while.
Heavy V you hit it on the head. Great vibe this morning. Rolf, thanks for pushing so hard, you made that one a blast.
Off for a week. Enjoy everyone.
…man, that burn is NO JOKE. Caught me by surprise. Calves and inner thighs. I let out a Rick James ‘ooowww’ in the shower. My wife thought I was singing.
PM classes, bring heavy/long socks. Might want to wear tights under your shorts. You’ll need ‘em for the rope.
God speed Big Mike. 6 AM won’t be the same without you.
Great workout…it was brutal
22:55 but really struggled on the rope climbed. Failed on a few & had to do only 1 on pretty much all.
53# thruster
Have a good vacation @mcohen & happy bday on the 26th!!!
A rare morning appearance for me. Great way to start the day. Vikram might be the happiest person i have ever met at 6am. its contagious.
19:48 RX’d. thanks for pushing me mike. Have good vaca.
Nice work on the Rope ladies (@Paige-much improved technique from last time haha)
@Vikram- “the kaiser” too funny
6rnds-75lbs.
What a WOD!
That’s all I got!
Great energy everyone.
@Mike- have a great week!
@Rolf- convert to am’s!
rest day. I’m still tending to my rope burns from Saturday
Happy Friday CFM!
23:53
- 58lb thrusters… I really lose my form – need to focus on knees out and not letting bar slide down
- last 3 rounds I scaled down to 1 rope climb
This was terrible and felt like it took me 45 minutes.. I would also like to point out that we all did an average of 60 burpees in addition to everything else! On happier note ……Happy Friday!
Skinny V has got it right! 6 am is the cat’s pajamas! Love the vibe! Was 1 rope climb shy of the time cap. but on the bright side I did do 75 burpees! See you guys next week!
oh and thanks coaches!! EJ and Lauren rock!
Strong work this AM guys! Great energy this morning.
PM session- take V’s advice and wear long socks/pants. Everyone from the AM sessions got up the rope today! So proud of you all
DNF 4 rounds + K2E
65# thrusters
Got stuck each round at the ropes. Made it all the way up for the first time the first few rounds thanks to EJ’s coaching, encouragement and support. Thank you EJ!
Congrats, Katie! So cool!
Shout out to EJ for cleaning out the scary front storage closet, getting rid of the broken GHD & changing the lightbulb in the shower! Not only is she a great coach, but she can organize with the best of them, too.
Go, girl!
WOD1 of the day:
500m row, 10pullup, 30 du’s
400m row, 10 pullup, 30 du’s
300m row, 10 pullup, 30 du’s
200m row, 10 pullup, 30 du’s
19minutes and change
Going to attempt WOD2 tonight. Never climbed the rope before and am a klutz so the combination of those should make for an interesting sight.
19:04 Rx’d
Back from a week break – was able to get the first 3 rounds in 3 minutes or so, then died…DIED.
Bring a bandage for the rope burn.
CrossFit Shoreside in Evanston Il
50 135 lbs back squats w no rack
450m run
5 muscle ups
7:07
Back squats unbroken. Muscle ups in set of 2, 1 and 2.
23:00 @ 95# thrusters. Rope climbs were better this time with bare hands. I need to get to the top in two pulls. I can do this as long as I remember to shake out the rope (thanks EJ). Still need to work on getting down.
The best tutorials I’ve seen on rope climbing:

@Jared – you did 50 135# back squats unbroken? That’s insane.
brutal WOD!
completed 5 rds.+ thrusters & 2 K2E. Scaled: 58# thrusters & only one rope climb per round.
red faced and nauseous
TY EJ for excellent mobility pre WOD & words of encouragement!!
Completed 6 rounds + 7 knees-to-elbow & 2 rope climb but did not manage to get the last 7 thrusters…
The rope climbs and the K2Es were fine but the burpees and thrusters literally killed me!!!
It was a great workout and thank you Ej and Adam for the words of encouragement.
14:53 RX’D
I hereby rename this wod “Frankelstein”…. Doing this with Amylynne, while she lapped me twice, was insane. Since it was only us two, and a little bit of EJ peppered in, I stopped after 5 rounds. I didn’t want to do 2 rounds by myself. Did thrusters at 85#, I have zero explosiveness, need to work on those this Sunday. The burpees were such a nuisance.
Hope everyone has a nice weekend, I’ll be missing KHour tomorrow for my Fantasy Football draft. Nothing like a bunch of adults yelling at each other for 3 hours.
WOD2 of the day:
DNF with 1 rope climb left
rx’d thrusters and k2e, 1 rope climb per round
lessons of the day:
1. more nutrition is needed to multi-wod
2. i can climb a rope
3. rope burns are worse than hand rips
4. i can scream like a girl
5. my little friend stephanie dominated that rope!
24:59 RX’d
…& I think Amylynne is a super human
25 minutes of work.
Thrusters: bitching around weight in the form of a thruster is just fun.
Knees 2 Elbows: ain’t happening yet, 2:1 ratio on the abmats. Badass.
Rope Climbs: these suck, all arms, no legs. We can’t all have rope climbs like stephmill… well maybe we can but it will take a lot of freaking work.
The only done today as rx’d: Dos Toros post WOD. Can someone say habanero hot sauce on three?
How come no one mentioned that hysterical picture?!
I swear, sometimes I worry about you people!
DNF @ 25 min.
6 rds + 7 + 7. Thrusters @ 95#, but only 1 rope climb per round (first time on the rope, surprisingly).
So.many.burpees.
@Brad: Dos Toros is a minimum of once a week cash out.
DNF.
6 rounds + 7 thrusters at 95 lbs, and 1 rope climb.
Needed 1 more rope climb but my arms were dead.
22:55
Subbed PP for thrusters 65#
1 rope climb per round
DNF: 3 rounds + 4 thrusters
Thrusters @ 43#
Thanks to EJ and Eroc for coaching me on the rope climbs! And for being patient as I stubbornly insisted on doing 2 each round. Never thought I would be able to climb a rope!
Burpees. Ew.
Either 5+7 or 6+7, I lost count. Burpees killed me
Shower + double date at Sfoglia…pretty decent:I recco
@Allison NYC -Love the Fitness Lonnie pic!!
