Oh my Gosh! I am in love with this picture Allison took!
My little Boo is the best cheering section EVER and he was representing for the Red Team!
Exposing kids to this stuff may be one of the greatest gifts ever. They’ll grow up thinking working out and eating right is just a normal part of life and even cooler than that, they’ll think it’s FUN!
I’m so blessed that my little guy is part of such a cool gym and community! You are all great influences!
If you’ve got kids, have them try out our CFK program on Thursdays with Ash!

I’m not quite that difficult, even though maybe I’m a little bit bossy. But you know, in order to get things done, you do have to be a little bit bossy sometimes or tell people what you really want. Otherwise, things just don’t get done, do they?

That’s Right, Heidi!! ;D

6 rounds + 6 jumps (not quite 24 inch jump)
Dale killed it, awesome job.
Allison has a message about my jumps…
6 + 4 jumps @ 135#.
HPC – Very happy that I did 6 rounds unbroken until I saw Dale’s score. On the seventh, Jared and I picked up the bar at the same time. I did 4. I rested quickly. I did two and did not drop the bar. I saw that he dropped it. This was my chance at victory! If I could only do one more. The bar was slipping. I rested it on my knees. I went for it and . . . fail. This cost me the w.
Push-ups – on parallettes. Unbroken until last round.
Jumps – I was happy to see this because I am a terrible jumper and need a lot of work on these. I could have done these faster but they would not have been close to 24″ so I just took my time and jumped as high as I could.
6 rounds + 3 pushups. Stuck with pushups on the ground bc they still need work.
63#
Not quite 24 inches. 18-19 maybe?
Much needed rest day for me tomorrow!
Awesome job, gang. I get that itch to come in on rest days by reading your posts. But I got some badly needed sleep…
Do you go into a full fron squat on hang power cleans?
9+5 HPC rx’d (ring push-ups)
Robinson Cano!
@TC Nope – partial squat.

this looks like a super fun wod, but i’m getting sick. sorry to miss this one.
125# 6+6PUs Pretty close to 24 inches. Great workout. Dale untouchable.
V, get the sleep while you can. Time is running out…
fun crew at 10am.
4 rds plus 7 jumps
63#
push ups- toes down, knees up
somewhere between the 2nd and 3rd line…15 inches? 18 inches? 24 was def over the 3rd line. this was as high as i could jump!!
“Bradshaw”
10 rounds for time
3 strict hspu
6 deadlifts 225#
12 pullups
24 doubleunders
17:52 rx’d as compared to 11/25 when I did it in 18:48
Hands are torn up from the pullups
5 rounds + 4 HPC at 95 lbs. Worked on form and think next time I can go heavier.
And for anybody thinking about buying Cat’s Adidas OLY shoes, I have great news. Allison conducted a group smell test and Cat’s shoes passed with flying colors.
5+2 hpc at 95#
So many terrible things about this wod do where to begin? Cleans were ugly after first rd. jumps were pathetic (though I promise I did try). Only good thing was my pushups.
Fml
159
Was hoping Abbott was counting and Abbott hoped I was counting. 135 lbs.
Programming Question: Where are the push presses?
4 + 4 @ 73lbs
#thiswhitegirlcantjump
6 rounds +4 @115#
felt like after round 1 i was way out on my toes most of the time. i didn’t like the way they felt. I guess not lifting anything upper body for so long makes you rusty.
Great 6:30 group!
6 Rounds + 8 reps RX’d
6 rnds + 2 pushups
*yea – I don’t have hops..about 1″ below
6 rds +2
HPC – rx’d
Push ups on paralettes
Jump touches – sloppy
5+12 @ 95#, knee pushups
Jumps were max effort – for a white girl who can’t jump, I really notice the difference in my volleyball game with the jump training, cardio and lifting. White girl can’t jump, but white girl can stuff block
Paleo wod: 5 min amrap double unders. Every break do 3 burpees. 117 total DUs…stupid rope broke
6 rounds + 7 reps
68#
paralette pushups
Jumps as high as i could go. Not even close to 2 feet.
Finally after 2 years felt fast elbows consistently throughout the WOD- prob 90% of reps. Round 4 was unbroken and elbows felt fast on all. Random.
Glad to see you back LB. 6:30 missed you and your spirit!
5 rds + 6
HPC @ 90# (first 2 rounds unbroken)
reg. push ups
jump touches – a foot if I’m lucky
Paleo WOD (scaled): 100 jump rope singles + 50 burpees
5+5
HPC @ 73# – need to work on these, felt really sloppy
knee push ups
jumped as high as i could but didn’t hit 2ft once
Yellow girl can’t jump nor remember. For the umpteenth time, I forgot I stagger started and still had time left on the Amrap!
6, 3 jumps
5+7
83#
few toes down, knees ups, mostly knee pushups
Reunion with the 6:30 peeps, magical
5 + 1 clean @ 135# and special pull ups on those things
53# and that did not make my hand feel good.
Liking the parallel push ups.
7 rds + 5 jumps rx’ed
white boys can jump too (witnesses)
paralette pushups
nice job tonight
agree with LB.. magical reunion
6 rounds + 8 pushups, 135#
parallette pushups
5+22, 75#, knee push-ups, hops not even close

Jumps – easy.
4+1 Rx. Woeful score but tried to make sure of full ROM, inc jumps. Nice to be back
