@belbogen – laugh out loud funny
Oh Babs. It’s been so long…
ha!
Well played Brian.
Might have to do this mid day on my own. Taking son to school tomorrow.
DNF, had 37 squats to go.
6:04, 6:08, 7:08, 7:55
Green band, pushups from knees. Definitely still don’t feel 100%
45-min cutoff, DNF, 4 rounds (6:34, 7:29, 8:04, 8:05)+ 20 pullups + 4 pushups.
Pullups w/ green band, pushups on knees.
Two quick things:
CF Subway Series Update:
After 4 weeks of events, Metropolis ties for fourth place with CF Queens! I want to send a special thank you to all our Metropolis athletes and supporters! Awesome performances by all!
One other thing that I wanted to add is that after participating in several competitions, I’m self awarding Metropolis the “Spirit of the Games” award. Without a doubt, our affiliate has shown to be an amazing group of individuals who not only put their hearts and best efforts during WODs, but are unwaveringly supportive of their fellow competitors and their team! Kudos to all. As a newbie to this throwdown, our voices and cheers outshined those affiliates who brought nearly 20+ athletes/supporters!!
Again – thank you all for joining us in our first Subway Series! This is only the beginning. Stay hungry and ready for this Saturday’s FGB!

DNF! Got through 3 rounds slowly, then grip failed, then callous came off. Subbed 2:1 knees up from hang for situps, which prob didn’t help, but bottom line just didn’t have it today. Fight again tomorrow.
Total time (incl. 3min rest): 41:30 rxd.
Really felt awful mid-way through this one, glad I got it done early.
Babs– she’s no joke
Splits:
3:57
5:10
6:58
7:24
6:51
Total time 41:36
41:39 as Rx’d.
1:06 slower than last time in March. The pace was off even at the first round and never really got it back.
Frankly, just happy to survive this one.
1st date with Barbara. Decided to scale to 10-20-30-40 to get full push ups in. 5 rounds and ring rows for 4 and green band for last round
4:35, 5:18, 4:42, 6:00, 5:25. Total 38:00. Next time I either do all pull ups in green band or do the full 20-30-40-50. TBD.
Worked it out to do this WOD at 5:30. If I don’t show up, Eric you have the right to call me a coward.
I never thought I would say this but overhead squats are the greatest thing in the world compared to a Metropolis situp. I am so torn up that I cannot sit down.
Just saying…
@mcohen – Time to join me in the never ending battle of the bikini challenge. Come be a new member. You don’t really have to wear a bikini (I don’t think).
38:44 Rx’d
Splits were pretty even. First and last were the fastest by half a minute. I surprised myself on this one. Much faster than the first date with Barb not Rx’d.
I’m so yucky right now.
wow. nice job hon!
55 minute run through the farm lands of Paros
marilina, that deserves a “wahoo!” from mikey i think….
ha! (to sassy this time)
DNF, got cut off 32 situps into round 5. First round was green band and knee pushups, then after that I did ring rows and pushups on the GHD.
Good day for a rest
a little PSA for those of us DNF’ing Babs today…

41:50
agree with what Mike is just saying
34 on the dot
Splits (3:57, 4:15, 4:37, 4:30, 4:41)
(math by Levi)
Best part? All pull-ups UNBROKEN!
Amylynne, you are my hero.
44:54 as rx’d. Pull ups felt strong, sit ups not so much.
We got a screamer!!
Yah sorry that was a lot of vocalization.
30:13
Pls dlede – slow down. Take this one easy. I want on the board.
DNF
1. 3:24

“Barbara”
5 rounds for time of:
20 Assisted Pullups
30 Pushups
40 Situps
50 Air Squats
Rest exactly 3 minutes between rounds.
Time: 44:19
In the words of one of my favorite tv characters of all time, Ari Gold from Entourage:
“FUCK YOU BABS!!!!!”
37:33 – 4 rounds self imposed cutoff, back still no bueno from last saturday and need to heal for FGB!!
Feeling unrecovered – between last week and Fran on Saturday my body was screaming the entire time and I could not string more than 3 pullups?! This is an issue
Splits
4:18, 5:14, 5:19, 6:15, 5:37
37:37 as rx’D
forgot to add -
Max DUs: 121 (110 in 1 min)
27:23 rx’d. HGH is finally paying off.
DNF 23 push ups into round 5
Blue bands after round two of the pull ups
I will worry about the splits when I can do this thing rx.
Really hard wod. Need to learn to Kip pull ups
I’m on a DNF diet, limiting myself to one per week. So….I mixed it up:
5:13 Rx’d
4:58 Red band
5:18 12 Rx’d + 8 Red
6:20 6 Rx’d + 14 Red
7:12 Rx’d
42:01
If I may quote myself from last November, “Stupid pullups. I hate you.”
Oh, and Kiley–what is HGH and can I have some?
42 and change RX
DNF, 12 push ups into round 5
Barbara is no joke
Wanted to attempt Babs Rx’d – goal was 3 rounds while keeping really good form
Result:
5 rounds in 47:19 Rx’d. Felt really good so I begged to finish the last round over the time limit to get a baseline time (was 22 situps in at 45 min) – thank you!!
5:19
6:36
7:20
8:08
7:56
I can’t believe I did 100 pullups tonight!!!
Scaled WOD to 4 rounds, 4th round – knee pushups
38:26 – I still feel this WOD in my aching head and stomach
4:00 / 5:12 / 5:51 / 5:57 / 7:23 = 41:23 as RX’ed
PR by 1:02 (vs. Nov 2010). Really sh*t the bed in that last round!
survived my first WOD!
did 4 rounds:
ring rows
knee pushups
situps
squats
37:45
20 blue band pull ups
30 knee push ups
40 sit ups
25 box squats
4:50/4:52/5:35/5:32/6:33: 39:22
the goal was to scale so i could finish all 5 rounds.
i did 40 push ups in the last round…glad i can count.
@sass: my version is “stupid push-ups, I hate you.”. At 2-3 at a time, I’ve been frustrated all day. Maybe I shouldn’t go to work with post-WOD sweat to remind me all day about the WOD.
DNF cutoff at 45:00 with 8 air squats left. I tried to game this on the first round by pacing myself which I shouldn’t have done since we had 3 minutes rest. Splits were:
5:08, 5:55, 6:46, 7:05, whatever the last one came out as. Next time I will go faster in early rounds.
Sass-the HGH reference was a joke. You never know if the Narcs are reading our blog. But if you really want some, the New York Yankees trainer should be able to hook you up.
Globo WOD:
39:47 rx’d
37:02 11/2/10
33:44 8/7/10 (PR)
35:30 4/16/10
For those wondering where Anthony’s nickname (Arink) came from…I noticed that this was the day (8/7/10) that the famous dead Arink picture was snapped by Jimmy. I suggest the newbies check it out. It’s CFM greatness.
Did 4 rounds Rxd at 41.20. Ripped a callus on the pullups of the 4th round. Dang.
That was tough. Next time, all five rounds Babs.
27:56 rx’d.

Im annoyed that I didnt post on the wall during the last Barbara.
Range of motion on pullups could have been better.
41:35 Rx’d. I rode my bike home afterward and then met the Crossfit Clown.
DNF – 4 rounds even in 42:10
4 rounds in 39:20
