Hey Darlene, are you sure your chin is over the bar?
Getting your chin over the bar is important. A lot of us are guilty of just clearing that bar with our chin. So, let’s aim higher, like Darlene here. Every pull-up doesn’t have to be chest-to-bar, but let us at least aim for the a no-doubt-we-made-it-Darlene standard.
Reminder: Tonight is Sushi Night at the Red Door (after the 6pm class). Check out the menu here and place your order in Comments, so Sue can call it in.
And, in case you were wondering, there is sushi etiquette. (Check out the line that begins with “Kampai!” and today’s post title will make sense.)

“Hello… (tap, tap, tap) Is this thing on?… Uh yes. I would like to place my order.
hmmm let’s see….
1 – Tuna Sashimi with rice
1 – Smoked Salmon Roll
… I think that will do it for now. I’ll order drinks when my food comes. Thanks”
@Rich – Are you going to do any pull-ups in the picture or are you just going to look at the floor and feel sorry for yourself? Why don’t you look to your right and be more like Mary
February 11th, 2009 at 10:17 am
DANG Greg!! Way to call Rich out!
I’m coming just for the frosty beverages, no sushi for me…I should be there by 7:30 – save me a seat!!
February 11th, 2009 at 10:29 am
1 – Salmon Sashimi with rice
1 – Spicy Tuna roll
February 11th, 2009 at 10:32 am
1- Spicy Tuna
1-Philadelphia roll
Can you ask if I can get it on brown rice?
February 11th, 2009 at 10:33 am
Is anybody coming earlier?
February 11th, 2009 at 11:01 am
Who’s in for the 5pm class tonight?
The 6pm?
(I’ll be there as soon as nobody else is here. If that makes sense.)
February 11th, 2009 at 11:09 am
@Greg, Good thing it’s not a mov. the next 10 frames would have shown the same thing!!! Actually, I was looking for a soft place to land when my lights went out.
Won’t see you guys tonight but doggy bags will be appreciated.
February 11th, 2009 at 11:13 am
Wish I could be there tonight, but we figure we should wait a little longer before bringing Jackson into a bar. And, since Melis loves sushi WAY more than I do, she gets the nod. I’ll be home Kampai-ing by myself while watching UConn destroy my beloved Orangemen.
February 11th, 2009 at 11:23 am
I am in for the 5pm class tonight… I am not sure if I am going to make it for sushi.. my daughter is teatering on the brink of sickness…
February 11th, 2009 at 11:25 am
Totally jealous I’m missing Sushi tonight and looking forward to Friday’s beat down.
This week is pretty much a wash for me…I might try to get some burpees in later and need to move some equip down this weekend
February 11th, 2009 at 11:56 am
I’m in for the 5pm with Ray-Ray tonight but sushi is highly questionable because I’m pretty sure Becky and Ray-Ray are not fans. As for me, I prefer the cuisine of “other Asian cultures” that not only allow belching but encourage it or I’m forced to enjoy sushi alone in my fortress of solitude.
What’s the equivalent of regular jump ropes to double-unders? I don’t want to pull a Chris here but it seems like it should be more than x2. Discuss…
February 11th, 2009 at 12:10 pm
Def pulling a Chris there…its only 2, so 50 double unders is 100 singles, but please don’t let us hold you back if you feel 3 or 4 is a better ratio
February 11th, 2009 at 12:14 pm
Apparently I married Chris…
If I am there it will be for the 5pm – I will not be attending sushi eating…not because I don’t like sushi (I tolerate it but prefer cooked meat and meat-like products such as mcdonalds) but because it is a school night and i need to be in bed by 7pm.
February 11th, 2009 at 12:50 pm
I actually wrote the “official CF” sub for double-unders on the board this morning: tuck jumps. But, keep in mind that those with knee or weight issues might find 45 tuck jumps to be a bit stressful joint-wise, so for those folks, i offer the option of 2x singles.
February 11th, 2009 at 12:55 pm
I have to admit…I love that the Aretha gravatar is still around
February 11th, 2009 at 1:13 pm
I’m always a 5:00 guy. I’m going to try and get as many double-unders as I can tonight. We’ll see what happens.
February 11th, 2009 at 1:43 pm
I too plan for the 5pm. Looking forward to trying the tuck jumps (in total denial of weight and joint issues). Can we sub RingDings for ring dips?
February 11th, 2009 at 2:08 pm
I’m not sure if any of you saw this comment on the main site today. It might make you feel better about how you cope with nasty crossfit workouts. Enjoy.
“Ok I have a serious question and I am in no way trying to be inappropriate. But I have noticed for the past month or so that during intense workouts my penis gets REALLY small and hard. It’s beginning to freak me out.”
I’m thinking someone from the Power Barn posted it?
February 11th, 2009 at 2:17 pm
5 pm for me
@Kirk – I’m still laughing at your last post.
February 11th, 2009 at 2:28 pm
Aaaaaaaaand I just noticed the name Becky used on her post. hahahaha
February 11th, 2009 at 2:34 pm
Did the workout – with the tuck jumps. BRUTAL!! I’ll be lucky if I can walk to my car tonight to make it for sushi. These last 3 workouts together have been rough!
My legs are still spasming…
February 11th, 2009 at 2:39 pm
@Chris and Becky – I don’t know about the rest of this crowd but I’m pissed I didn’t get invited to the wedding. But I imagine that Barry might be more upset that he didn’t get the invite.
February 11th, 2009 at 3:15 pm
For all you bacon lovers… V-day is right around the corner. This is from a site that an old high school friend runs… http://www.bussbuss.com/dailybuss/archives.php

Nice, Greg, very nice.
Maybe the new Mrs. Perugini would like one?
And I think Kirk might have riled up those Power Barners. Or, if we don’t hear from them, then we know it’s true.
February 11th, 2009 at 3:41 pm
GOOD Call “Becky P”LOL
@Kirk, boy, that one should bring down the house!!! or should I say the “Barn” At least Chris didn’t blame that one on me.
Funny, I noticed just the opposite reaction.
February 11th, 2009 at 3:46 pm
I think all the men at CFW seem to have the opposite reaction….spot on Rich!!!!
February 11th, 2009 at 3:58 pm
@Kirk and Rich… some things are just assumed without saying
February 11th, 2009 at 4:07 pm
@ Kirk, I’m surprised that nobody suggested that commenter #153 on the mainsite just apply ice to his WOD induced priapism.
See y’all at the 5.
February 11th, 2009 at 4:16 pm
$86 could be better spent buying bacon. The good stuff too, not the bacon on clearance… I’m talking food quality here.
February 11th, 2009 at 6:43 pm
I have to say this set of comments takes the cake! Sushi,small penis’s and Priapism great topics!
Oh and just for the record priapism dose not cause one to have a small penis very much the opposite…..so who knows what’s wrong with that dude!?!?His WOD is going all wrong! He’s scewed!
