Maybe this is one of the reasons he’s Always smiling!

“There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.”
– Beverly Sills
You guys, thank you so much for the most awesome day yesterday. You’re all seriously the coolest group of hard working people ever. It’s such a pleasure to work with you guys.
Keep going like you did yesterday and you’re all going to have the best snatches in CrossFit Land!
I feel super lucky to be part of this amazing group of people.
Got up to 155# on the split jerk. Need some form work but that will come.
AMRAP: 4 rounds plus 4 pull ups (pull ups were weak this morning).
Nice job 6am crew.
SJBN – 210. First time doing this so PR. Failed at 215. I started dropping higher and higher as the weight went up which I must work on. Note to self: do not fail a PR attempt and then go for it again without resting because you “think you have it.” This does not turn out well. I really liked this lift as it’s a lot easier to keep the bar path vertical than the regular split jerk. Evening crew – plan to do more weight than you split jerked.
AMRAP – 4 and 6 pull-ups. I’m with BAston. Two rounds of unbroken pull-ups and I was struggling.
Allison – you are an amazing coach. Thank you for your skill, wisdom – and most of all – patience.
Confidence builder today. Got up to 130 with the gammy shoulder, and could feel my form getting sloppy so stopped.
Metcon: 6 rounds even. Great pushing in the back with Big Mike, Plugpilot and Heavy Joe.
Gorgeous morning. Go get it CFM!
155-165-165-170-175-175.
Way too much muscle. I really think that fear is the limitation for me on this lift. I am so affraid of that moment of extension, that I am going to get crushed, that I short cheat the lift and plunge to the bottom quickly.
Metcon: 7 rounds even
For everyone going on tomorrow’s hot yoga field trip, the number to reserve your spot is 212-439-9642. The class is on 85th & Lex at 6:20 a.m..
Lastly, I have to concur with my friend Heavy V, having Allison teach us OLY lifting is a gift that should not be overlooked.
205 more of a push press than a jerk aka bad form. Way too much muscle. See you guys at Yoga.
135-135-155-165-185(f)
I agree with mike, fear is my limiting factor, considering my PP PR is 205. I also feel my mobility issue by going off my back.
MetCon: 6 + burpees + 4 pullups
My rests are about 5 seconds too long.
Yoga w big mike, skinny and mrs skinny tomorrow! Anyone else joining?
I got up to 155 but then backed it off to 135 to work on form. It’s fun to work on such athletic movements.
The am rap was tough. I subbed pushups for burpees because my low back is in tough shape and burpees aggravate it. Come to think of it, bending over aggravates it. I have to keep stretching.
I’m going to try the Wednesday yoga class. See you guys there.
Great to be back at the box.
Yoga confirmations thus far:
1. Big Mike – ring leader

WOD: 4+15
First time doing split jerks, was kind of weird the first time doing it but with practice, got better.
On another note, thanks for posting that pic. Wildlife Conservation Society!!!!! Protecting wildlife and their habitat.
yeah, PM was different than AM
Wod 1: drilled with 63
Wod 2: 4 + 17 (dead hang pullups felt weak today)
Wod 3: cleaning up vomit all over my apartment. thanks, duke.
WOD 1 = Drills
WOD 2 = 4 + 6
Split jerk 83# and nervous. Thanks Allison for the great coaching.
WOD 2: 3 rounds 9 pull ups. Strict pull ups off of wrists on ring.
Drilled w 95 and 75#. Can see how more weight is doable behind the neck vs normal jerk. Knee is crunchy.
4.5 rounds. As usual did extra burpees bc I lose count. Mix of deadhangs.
100 squats
Leg Press 100×5 140×5 160×5 180×5 200×5

3 rounds.
I’m sore all over in weird places
8:30pm class started with AMRAP; got in late: 5 rounds plus 2 pull ups in 5 minutes
Split Jerks – stayed at 65lbs throughout. Working on form; tendency to lean slightly forward but consistent explosiveness
65lbs on the split jerks. Probably should have stayed at 45lbs to concentrate on technique. Left quad is in a lot of pain – currently icing it. Goes to show you need to have the form and technique down.
4+7 on the metcon. Split between dead hang and jumping.
Practiced technique at 43#
4 +15 on AMRAP
265. felt light and fast.
4+10 lsit pu.

4+3 (ring rows)
Jerks: Worked up to 255, need to get lower but the jump felt good.
Metcon: 4 rds.
Split Jerk: Practiced technique with just the bar. Need to work on staying stable in the land and concentrate on feet placement.
Metcon: 4+15 (dead hangs and kips)
