Bill tackles his new love: the Turkish Get-up.
Let’s tell you about Bill. He joined us about a month ago. Quiet guy. Walked into class. Didn’t stride or bluster in, unlike some of us. (Okay, me. Anyhow . . .) And, consistently, Bill has revealed some serious quiet strength. Kicks butt on the rower. Perfect form on the deadlift. Rocks the TGU. Never complains, never whines, never quits. There’s something to be said for the strong, silent type. Bill, we’re glad you joined us!
And welcome to David! (Shown here, deadlifting, while Dan smacks out some burpee pull-ups in the background.) We’re glad to have you too!
“Hey Barry, is that your last warm-up? What do you have on the bar?”
“305.”
Barry is the man!

Tonight is “Something Bad” and I have to say that both WODs on the CrossFit site look particularly delicious: the main site WOD and “Good-bye Grip!”
Hmmm.

I definitely have to start changing my socks after work.
862 burpees today and I’m all caught up. I had to make a spreadsheet because I can’t keep count anymore.

Hey guys, hope you didn’t forget about us. We’ll be stopping by tonight at the 5:00 class with someone for you all to meet. I’m going to try to get in a quick workout if Jackson behaves, and Jackson wants to do a 100 burpee buy-in. Well, maybe just burps. Hope to see some of you there!

Some sights to behold: Turkish get-ups using that giant barbell, deadlifts of incredible weight and burpee pull ups…actions are truly louder than words…our CFW men are amazing.

Props to Bill for the strong, silent type!!! It was fun watching you guys last night.
Kathrine!! My fellow WestConner…If your up on campus today & have any time, stop by the pool. I’ll be down there 1:30-7:30. I could use some sane conversation sometime today!!!

Barry, I love your gravatar. (Wait, that sounded too personal. Well, you know what I mean.)
Kirk! Whoo hoo! We get to meet Jackson! I’m so psyched! (Really, people do trust me around kids. Believe it or not.)

Bill, Bill, Bill, next thing you know it will be Jackson, Jackson, Jackson. See you all at 5:00 for burps, burpee-pull-ups and Grip?

David

Uhhh…yeah, Dan…I wouldn’t even know how to begin to put up one of those avatar thingies…I’m sooo lacking in computer skills…just fill in the blank with your imagination…wait, maybe that’s a bad idea…nice job on that killer workout by the way…
October 2nd, 2008 at 8:06 pm
@Chris, Rich and Janice. Nice job today. Good luck holding on to anything tomorrow. Your forearms must feel Popeye size after that workout. Chris, I’ll see you THIS weekend for deadlifting, right?

(Note: Your newly posted avatar won’t show up right away. Give it a few minutes.)
@Kirk- My hands are ripped to shreds and my grip said “Good bye!” way back in minute twelve. I’ve got class on Saturdays this month, but I’ll be there Sunday!

Chris,
the dvd/cd-rom on my computer is not working. when I check the system there’s a yellow exclamation mark on them. Any suggestions before I throw this M…F..thing out the window?
October 3rd, 2008 at 9:27 am
@Jackie- Can you give me any other details? Does the tray even open? If so, what happens when you put a CD in?
