Oh yeah, 6am is early to get down and dirty with some 5×5 Back Squats. But get that sh** out of the way and the rest of the day is a piece of flippin’ cake. (Just ask Greg.)
Also, we need to start foam rolling again. Watch this video from Again Faster for two reasons — it has good info and it stars our buddy E.C.
In other news, get to Facebook and join our new club: Truly a member-generated endeavor.
Finally, Darlene was working the push press in last night’s WOD but Jack, in the middle of her hang power clean, apparently spotted flying monkeys in the back room. Or Barry drinking a beer. Or _____________. (Post guesses/harassment to Comments.)

YES!!! I was just wondering about back squats yesterday! Ask and you shall receive, huh?
And clearly, Jack was distracted by the rip in the space-time continuum. In the parallel universe on the other side, Barry could only deadlift 145 lbs.
February 3rd, 2009 at 9:46 am
Good roller info. Maybe we would all do less moaning after tough WOD’s if we learned hoe to best affect the pain.
@Jack(ie) “oooorr Derek Jeter is on the rower”
February 3rd, 2009 at 9:46 am
The rip wasn’t in the space-time continuum. It was in Barry’s shorts!
Yay squats! And if my class gets cancelled…I’m thinking I may double today
February 3rd, 2009 at 9:55 am
Also, please remember that today is free Grand Slam day at Denny’s.

@Becky, speaking of a rip, I ripped my boxers today during the mini metcon (the KB Swing portion). That’s two rips for me since I started CrossFit. Do I have the record? I think Jack heard the rip (which happened this morning) through the space-time continuum, and that’s why she looked, because the rip happened right where she’s looking.
Big ups to Greg for putting up some mad weight this morning. I had an off day, but I often do with back squats!!
February 3rd, 2009 at 11:14 am
Whoah. Jack has telepathy?
That’s pretty creepy. Can she tell what I’m going to lift in today’s WOD?
February 3rd, 2009 at 11:16 am
@Rich: LOL DJ on the rower. And here I was thinking it might have been the return of Nate that surprised her.
I FORGOT TO MENTION NATE’S RETURN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Can everybody hear me?)
Welcome back to Nate!
February 3rd, 2009 at 11:22 am
That’s a pretty bad a** picture of Greg!
February 3rd, 2009 at 11:28 am
Yup, today was “wear your hood up because we’re bad asses” day. Does anyone want to mess with Greg, Dan and I? I didn’t think so!!!
February 3rd, 2009 at 11:30 am
Not even Jenny, who didn’t come in the safe and did an alternate WOD.
(Oh, okay, she’s got a knee thing going on and “kneeded” to do something else.) Hahaha — I make myself laugh.
February 3rd, 2009 at 11:32 am
Oh — and Sue BEAT me in another WOD!
Overachiever that I am, I threw an extra 10lbs to the women’s standard for the WOD yesterday and got 13 rounds.
Sue did the same . . . and got 14.
Way to go, Sue! You rock!

A Tiyanak –
When wandering in or near forested areas, be on the alert when you hear the sound of an infant crying. Don’t try to look for it, lest you be the victim of the Tiyanak. The tiyanak is vampiric in nature and begins its monstrous life as an aborted or dead fetus that was not baptized before burial. Evil spirits possess the infant’s body and use it to kill by eating the victim’s inner organs and drinking its blood.
February 3rd, 2009 at 11:50 am
That’s why it is always recommended that pregnant women take a priest with them every time they go hiking in forested areas. Leave the priest at home at your own risk!
February 3rd, 2009 at 11:52 am
@Rich, I think a hoe is the last thing I want after a tough WOD, unless it’s a Hoegaarden!
February 3rd, 2009 at 12:06 pm
I’m glad that I’m not the person who mentioned the “hoe” . . .
Hoever, David did.
February 3rd, 2009 at 12:22 pm
And we know that I’m happy to sink to that level.
February 3rd, 2009 at 12:24 pm
WHOOO!!! Jen L W.T.F. was that? I hope you didn’t find that in the ER!!!
February 3rd, 2009 at 12:27 pm
Not only can he spell now, he can type too
February 3rd, 2009 at 12:52 pm
It’s okay, David, I’m right there with you at the ho-down.
February 3rd, 2009 at 1:08 pm
6am hooded backsquats are the way to go!!
Welcome back Nate, hows the back feeling?
February 3rd, 2009 at 1:38 pm
@ David— my dad’s a Priest… if you know someone who needs one let me know…lol
@Lis- sooooo… no more topless OHS?? With this ripping boxers thing, I vote for bottomless Back Squats!!! lol
February 3rd, 2009 at 2:09 pm
@Kathrine – you’ll want to add clothes lifting in that safe. Save the nudest stuff for when we move across the street.
February 3rd, 2009 at 2:39 pm
Sorry Rich, Just thought I would throw in a disgustingly inappropriate edge to the day. Don’t know what came over me
( It’s Phillipine Mythology—don’t know where that came from either…christ get outta here, stop talking to me…..
February 3rd, 2009 at 3:03 pm
Oh Darlene was at CFW last night! What’s the word on the eggs?
February 3rd, 2009 at 3:47 pm
Darlene is bringing eggs tonight for the sign-up list, I believe.
If you want in on the next batch, make a new list on the door.
February 3rd, 2009 at 3:54 pm
Woohoo… I’ll stop by tonight to yell… I mean encourage everyone and get my protein pebbles.
February 3rd, 2009 at 4:17 pm
Greg loves his PPs.
February 3rd, 2009 at 6:23 pm
So I was thinking about trying that AMRAP tonight that you guys did last night. I remember 65lbs, deadlifts, cleans, something, something, & some sort of rep scheme
can someone help me fill in the rest
February 3rd, 2009 at 6:26 pm
Hey, can somebody tell Darlene that there are still spots available in the Oly Cert at CF Milford? She thought it was sold out, but it’s not.
February 3rd, 2009 at 6:39 pm
Hey Darlene!!!!
If you even check the blog there are still spots available for the oly cert @ CF Milford…its not sold out
like that?
February 3rd, 2009 at 6:54 pm
Dan, you’re a genius! Why didn’t I think of that?
February 3rd, 2009 at 6:55 pm
Oh, wait, did you still want that rep scheme?
Bwahahahahaha.
February 3rd, 2009 at 6:58 pm
LOL
i know, i just couldn’t help myself…i was thinking and wondering what that thing was called that people used to communicate with before blogs? pho…
ah well maybe i’ll remember later
February 3rd, 2009 at 7:10 pm
I wish I knew. Maybe I can call somebody and ask them.
The WOD was AMRAP 20 min of 10 DL, 8 HPC, 6 PP. Men’s standard of 65lb/45 for women. 55 for Lis and Sue.
February 3rd, 2009 at 7:49 pm
Darlene did not come tonight…Greg was mad! So mad he knocked over the chalk bucket…but then he realized that he shouldn’t take out his egg anger on the chalk and vacuumed it up!
February 3rd, 2009 at 8:14 pm
True.. it’s all true. Chris took a picture to prove it. Something for you to look forward to when you return from your trip Lis.
February 3rd, 2009 at 9:03 pm
He he he… For those of you not on facebook, your missing all the fun. Nice video Lis. My favorite WOD to date.
