LOL — Larry! Ask Rich about teeth! And then ask Sue to spot your bench press . . . (Sorry, Sue! But her new motto is “No more chipped teeth on my watch!”)

@ Chris – The WOD this morning is awesome. I loved it once I figured out how the rack the stupid bar vs letting my wrists hold up all the weight by themselves in an awkward position. Doh!

Lis has a nice Mini-MetCon for after the front squats. It’s a great one paired with the WOD. I don’t want to spoil the fun for you guys. So, ya’ll will just have to wait until you show up tonight to find out about it. I might show up at 5 tonight just to do some skill work. Plus I miss all you guys

For the record, the Power Barn invented the numbers in plate loading technique. It improves air flow, and makes 500# deadlifts come up soooo much easier! We have been known to put a little more weight on one side of the bar than the other, just to try and screw people up … btw, teeth are highly overrated.

Yesterday was definitely insanely hard. I was on the verge of tears by round 4 of push jerk. Thanks to Mary, Melissa, Ben, and everyone else at the 5pm for their encouragement.

And “‘nother” Greg – awesome job with the main sight WOD. You guys should have seen him!

@ Tracey – Cross loading is something I like to do to Sue – put extra weight on one side of the bar. I especially like to do it when she is going for a PR. Now she knows better than to let me load plates. Come to think of it, no one lets me load their plates without supervision…

I did ask Tracey in the middle of her last set yesterday ‘You didn’t pay for easy… did you?’. Then she shot me ‘the look’…. the F’ You look. That’s when I knew she’d be fine.

Don’t listen to Beanie Squat. He’s high from drinking too much Tang.

Ah, but your plates are your own responsibility.

Otherwise you end up cross-loaded and can’t figure out why things feel funny — right, Becky and Sue?
