Jenny and Greg #1 enjoying some ring dips in the 6am workout. (See, we even lit up the Festivus pole for them! Ring dips make everybody smile, don’t they?)
In other news, Becky is working on Feb Fun — the “Most WODs in the Month” poster. (She’s a teacher, so you know there will be stickers involved somehow.) Person with the most workouts in the month of Feb wins a prize. We’re not sure what the prize will be, but we’re pretty sure it’s not a new car or the “spanking machine” that kids used to make you go through in elementary school when you lost at a game.
Worth a read: My Ten Commandments (not the religious stuff, just some words for life).
And, Chris, how’s the planning going for that outing to the Rock Climbing place?
January 13th, 2009 at 10:12 am
The poster is almost done!
Chris I would love rock climbing (without cold and snow hopefully)!
January 13th, 2009 at 10:16 am
Well, if there’s no spanking machine- I’m out…..
January 13th, 2009 at 10:22 am
Whats this talk about an outing to a Rock Climbing place???
and maybe I’ll see you guys tonight, depending on when I get out of work tonight
January 13th, 2009 at 10:43 am
First off, anyone who was around Sunday morning knows that I will NOT be completing the ring dip portion of this WOD Rx’ed. My max is 45 ring dips… barely.
As for the rock climbing, maybe this time I’ll ACTUALLY look into it instead of saying I will and forgetting for 6 months. We’ll see what happens!
January 13th, 2009 at 11:07 am
What happened sunday?? I thought you would be killing the ring dips Chris – its those heavy PCs that are going to be a monster
January 13th, 2009 at 11:24 am
Also there is really good blog post at http://www.crossfitoneworld.com about ripping hands & calouses, – fyi
i’m a victim of excessive chalking

Hey Peoples…..
Lis, When are you moving CF?
January 13th, 2009 at 12:17 pm
Climbing Gym in Wallingford is the place to go.
January 13th, 2009 at 12:28 pm
@Jen- Yeah, that place in Wallingford is the one I’m supposed to be contacting.
@Dan- I simply reached my limit for ring dips with the 21-15-9 workout we did. I’m still sore from it. Hopefully, tonight will loosen everything up a bit.
I took Rich’s suggestion and asked my clean and press question on the main forum. The thread has generated a few answers if anyone is interested: http://tinyurl.com/7uo9ao

If the Climbing gym in Wallingford has a spanking machine I’m so driving up for that! Whoot!
January 13th, 2009 at 2:38 pm
@Jen: Don’t get K excited. Spanking and climbing sounds really dangerous.
@Jackie: Girlfriend! We’ve missed you! Move looks like it will be the first week of Feb, depending on how quickly walls get built, etc. Might be a little rough in the early weeks but we’ll get it going on. Barbells and a concrete floor — what else does a girl need? (Oh — and guys. I mean, they need a concrete floor. Not that we need guys. I mean, some of us like them, but we don’t need them. Um, okay, I better shut up now.)

Pardon me, web site moderators, but my earlier comment is still in the queueueue.
January 13th, 2009 at 4:07 pm
Aw, K — our boy Chris is no longer a CrossFit MB Virgin! I’m so proud of him.
January 13th, 2009 at 4:29 pm
I did a workoutout at home yesterday and this morning when I woke up my quads, gluts and biceps were screaming…I realized how much I miss CF….
January 13th, 2009 at 4:29 pm
On this weeks menu at Crossfit Watertown; Mini BTS (Bicep Tendon Strain) lightely toasted with basil pesto and an Entree of RDR (Ring Dip Rash) rare with blue cheese compound butter. And for Dessert…..
January 13th, 2009 at 4:32 pm
Chris is there a clean press off the rack video on CF?
January 13th, 2009 at 5:11 pm
@Jackie- Are you coming back soon? We miss you!
And to answer your other question, I’m not sure if there’s a video on the site. I was wondering about grabbing the bar from the rack and pressing it as opposed to cleaning it from the floor first. Apparently, cleaning it allows some people to press more.
January 13th, 2009 at 5:16 pm
Virgins? What?! I din’t know we had any of that left @CFW!!
January 13th, 2009 at 5:22 pm
Speak for yourself K. I’m holding out!
January 13th, 2009 at 5:47 pm
I really don’t have anything to say or contribute. I just wanted to post something so I didn’t feel left out today.
January 13th, 2009 at 5:51 pm
Not to totally ignore what Greg just said, but did Jen just imply that she was a virgin?
(K, I think somebody needs to have a serious talk with Jen. Perhaps show that “health” film from the 5th grade?)
January 13th, 2009 at 5:52 pm
And wait — could we see a return of Jackie soon? Quick, let’s start a rumor!
January 13th, 2009 at 6:20 pm
Ok, First- Everyone say Hi Greg!! (HI GREG!!)
Second- If you really have a virgin anything Jen, you can auction it off like the girl in San Diego!! she’s up to 3 mill!!! lol
Lastly, I totally heard that Jackie was actually in Quatar acting as a CIA operative… apparently she can kill with just a stare!… just what i overheard.. If I’m dead 2moro I guess it’s true lol
January 13th, 2009 at 6:45 pm
f*&^ yeah I’m going to put it on craigslist!
Always a Virgin never a slut, pays off in the end!
January 13th, 2009 at 8:36 pm
Hi!! everyone Dips of death w/ cleans wow. Missed ya Dan.
@Jackie #1, There are videos of any lift you want on CF. Beware, some good some not so good!!Check with Lis.
Poor poor Nate, he’s really hurting. I hope Melissa can help him.
January 13th, 2009 at 9:57 pm
awww…Poor Nate.. he looked so sad to day- but I’m sure Mellisa will fix him right up!!
I already can’t lift my arms lol
Good job to everyone tonight!!
Are we trying to put together a 4some for the 7pm VIP????
I
January 13th, 2009 at 10:35 pm
Hope everyone had fun ring-dippin’ tonight. I did a non-arm intensive WOD myself at home today.
4 rounds of:
1/2 mile run
50 jump rope
25 squats
Clocked in at about 20 minutes.
My arms should be good to go by tomorrow’s class. See everyone then!
January 13th, 2009 at 11:29 pm
Well I caught up on front squats and the clean and jerk ladder workout yesterday so I ended up subbing 225lb deadlifts for the powercleans and did the ring dips as rx’d and it was absolutely brutal i can only imagine the powercleans
January 14th, 2009 at 2:32 am
I think Jen took my virginity while showing me how to front squat. I’m not sure though because I thought I was supposed to be the man.
January 14th, 2009 at 6:11 am
LOOLOLOL, I’m not even sure what to say! (that never happens)
January 14th, 2009 at 8:37 am
HA!!! Too funny Barry! Needed a good laugh this early morning at work!
January 14th, 2009 at 9:09 am
OMG Barry… That’s the funniest post EVER! I just busted out in the middle of my Stats class!!
January 14th, 2009 at 10:53 am
@Dan — how do you “sub” deadlifts for powercleans? That’s not a suitable sub! That’s like subbing pull-ups for muscle-ups . . .
@K: It does not sound like you have the requisite foursome for 7pm tonight — unless Sue and Dan are quick to jump in. I’m planning to workout this morning but could be persuaded to stay at 7pm just for fun.
What say you — Sue and Dan?
