Hey Barry, how was your first Filthy 50?
You have to love a man who, in times of trouble, makes up his own swear words!
(The FF might have had its way with Barry, but you should see the man toss a 20lb wall-ball like it’s a penny. Barry’s march towards total domination of CrossFit continues!)
As you can see, Kirk loved his FF too!
So too did Chris. (And then, after the photo, he asked for 3 seconds off his official time. But, he is sooo smitten by the FF temptress. He’ll be calling her name in a few more weeks.)

Katherine- I prefer the smaller ball also. The large ones make it hard to handle… Hope wrrk isnt too rough tonight!
Jackie – I just took a 2 hour nap so I’ll be there, ready to get me a$$ kicked

My preference on balls depends on the mood I’m in that day…

Wow, you guys talk alot!
As Lis knows I’m a fan of the mini-metcons. I’ve seen huge gains. Because My real job is Blue-collar Physical labor I can’t kill myself during the WOD.
I like to do two-a-days of short blasters. Then on my strength days go high reps medium weight or just go big. My body fat has dropped and I’m actually faster at many things.
I guess it has to do with your goals. I want to be fit and strong but I don’t need to be a power-lifting beast or a metcon beast. Taking fitness into my mid life crisis is my goal! lol
So much talk about balls and being topless…what the hell is going on in CT?
Recovery equals gains!
Re-read Lis’s post about clarifying. It’s spot on and well said.

Barry and I will NOT be at Crossfit tonight. We may play with balls at home. He prefers bigger, heavier balls. I however prefer a smaller ball with a grip – something that my hands will really stick to especially when I am all sweaty and hot.
And Lis – The trebuchet was the most random thing ever! Loved it!

I know I’m a little late to the party…but Katherine, I’d love to get in on that overhead squat challenge. I will not, I repeat not, be topless however. And as someone who CF’s 5 times a week, I can vouch for the efficacy of the program. Who just lost another 10 lbs.???? I did, that’s who. Were lookin’ at the big 80!!!!! Can you freakin’ bleieve it? Give me the filthy fifty any day people…. I am a woman unleashed!

Sue I am so Happy for you! The other day I was actually thinking that it looked like you had lost more weight! Keep up the good work.
If Sue is squatting, I will go topless and we can be a team!

Sue! Another 10 lbs! Awesome!
You are amazing. Each day, I’m glad to know you.
Take care, everybody and enjoy your week with the Metcon MOP Melissa (Oooh, I love alliteration) and the newest Man Of Pain Kirk!
You guys are in good hands!

August 22nd, 2008 at 11:56 pm

Whatever women do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily this is not difficult.
