Greg has a phenomenal front squat. Unfortunately, we don’t have a photo of him in the down position. So, use your imagination. Nice, huh?
Tomorrow’s the big day for our EC Extravaganza! We’ll have a Nutrition Talk, a Workout of the Day, and then everyone gets their photo taken with Angelina Jolie! (Oh, okay, not really. But she said maybe next time!) Talk starts at 10am and we still have 2 slots left if you’re interested! $40 cash — just shoot us an e-mail if you’d like to attend.
Reminder: No 8am WOD tomorrow.
And just because it’s Friday, we need to have a little Beer Haiku. (Ooooh — and it’s a Front Squat 5×5 day! That’s a fab combo: Front Squats and beer. Wow, life is good.)

Oh crap.. I guess I took too long to write my comment. In the short period of time it took me to write it, Lis updated the blog. You’ll have to look at yesterdays comments to see my comments on today’s WOD. Have I used the word comment enough?
Yours Truly,
Beanie Squat

Front squat is my most favoritest of all the squats. I’m PUMPED for tonight!
@Greg- Comment comment, comment comment comment comment? Comment comment comment! (Comment comment)

Nice front squat Greg…was that your first time doing it? Quite impressive. I may rest tonight in order to have some legs for tomorrow’s workout. I’m on the fence.

I’m with Kirk on the fence, my legs have been screaming at me since the tabatta squats & rowing
I’m looking forward to tomorrow though

@Kirk The last time I did a front squat was in college. I started with 135 lbs and added 10 lbs each round this morning. I could have gone a little heavier. However, I probably would have had to ask Lis to create a handicap parking space in front of CF Watertown for the next few WODs.
It will be interesting to see how my legs do tomorrow.

As much as I love the warm, sunny weather in the Keys I can’t wait to get back home so I can join you guys!
Today during our intense soccer game, for every goal scored I threw down 10 burpees! That’s how much I miss it!!!
January 9th, 2009 at 1:27 pm
I’m with Kirk. Infact, I’m already on the “rest day, drink wine side of the fence” for tonight. Must rest these old bones (4 days on).
Give it he*l Chris!!!!
January 9th, 2009 at 1:39 pm
Do it Dan & Kirk! You will loosen right up. Honestly
Chris – you 5 or 6pm? I am planning for 6. Though I don’t plan on going very heavy due to my back (or slight chance of maybe trying to sub some sort of metcon instead), but I plan to be there.

Nate, just so you know, the sub for front squats is Fran Rx’d. haha. We’ll figure something out.
January 9th, 2009 at 1:54 pm
@Kirk and Nate – What do you have to figure out? Fran Rx’d seems like a good sub for Nate… Muahahahha
January 9th, 2009 at 2:12 pm
I shouldn’t tempt Nate with Fran. He recently shaved, what, 8 minutes off his time? That might be the performance of the year in CFW.
January 9th, 2009 at 2:40 pm
I will be at the 5:00 tonight.
January 9th, 2009 at 3:02 pm
That would be 10 minutes faster!!! Down from 20 minutes!!
Though to be fair, the first time I did Fran Rx’d I could only do 1 (non-kipping) pullup at a time – and between each of those I needed a fair amount of recovery time… I suppose it was sort of like running a marathon… by walking it?
It was rough. Glad I did it though, nowhere to go but faster?
Good times.
Though the more I think about a front squat workout the more I think how much ones lower back comes into play – it might be a bad idea for me tonight. Regardless, I have complete faith Kirk will come up with something magical for me tonight (you have the 6pm class right?)
January 9th, 2009 at 3:17 pm
Yes, I have the 6:00.
January 9th, 2009 at 3:29 pm
All this Fran talk is like playing russian roulette
January 9th, 2009 at 3:31 pm
@Sue, Chipped teeth is totaly NOT your fault. I hope that kick-back from the dentist at least got you DD coffee.
Love YA Sue!!!!!
January 9th, 2009 at 3:47 pm
fran, Fran, FRAN, FRANN, “Fran” I’m in for 5:00.
January 9th, 2009 at 7:11 pm
Late notice, but I am not going to make it tonight
Sorry! Have fun though!
January 9th, 2009 at 7:11 pm
It was apparent
by the way he raised his glass
Things had just started
So true, so true. I’m out for 5 and 6 but will see y’all tomorrow.
@Lis, if you like beer haiku’s you may like Modern Drunkard Magazine Cheers!

Check-out the CF Cert. pic. from GSX Athletics on the main site. Someone we know was in Texas?

All I can see is someone who looks a lot like Melissa yelling!
