Welcome to Chuck and Rob, our newest members! They love to do wall-ball at 6am. (Right, fellas?) But then, who doesn’t love wall-ball?
What is your favorite CrossFit movement? What’s your least favorite? Post to Comments.
In other news, this is just pathetic. Shoot us if we ever get like that.
Finally, because it’s Friday, let’s have a little CrossFit Watertown Haiku:
Wall-ball is the best
What goes up, must come down — hard.
A face catch? Please, no.
March 20th, 2009 at 8:26 am
I have to think about my favorite but I know my least favorite… PUSH-UPS! at least for the next 10 days.
Also for CFW folks that are doing the Push-Up Challenge. Take photos of you doing your push-ups at home, office, yard, side of the road, etc and send them to me. I’ll put together something when it’s over.
March 20th, 2009 at 9:04 am
Great idea, Greg!
I love when you guys take the initiative!
And that reminds me — Dan, I’m going to look at that sketch today!
March 20th, 2009 at 9:17 am
Love the Widget!!!
What are we doing today? Please say lifting heavy stuff…
March 20th, 2009 at 9:20 am
Thanks Lis, wasn’t sure if you actually got it or not
my least favorite is probably a toss up between burpees and thrusters
my favorite might be squat cleans, but i do love pull-ups to the point where i would rather do burpee pull-ups over burpees
March 20th, 2009 at 9:22 am
oh…and Hi Chuck & Rob!
March 20th, 2009 at 9:35 am
Becky has become a She-Ra. I expect her to walk through the door eating the turkey leg, not Barry.
March 20th, 2009 at 9:55 am
YOU FOOLS!!! IT’S A TRAP!!!!
With that being said, my least favorite exercise is having a few beers and my favorite is not having a few beers.
March 20th, 2009 at 10:30 am
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA . . . .
March 20th, 2009 at 10:32 am
Well said Nate! We are so easily fooled. You would think we would have learned by now.
March 20th, 2009 at 10:48 am
Welcome Rob and Chuck…
I think I like slam football the least. I know it’s not really a movement but I’m afraid I’ll fall down and get a boo-boo. And as Jackie #1 so observantly put it, “I’m afraid that I might accidentally grab a boobie”
On the other hand I like dodge ball the best. Again, not really a movement but the danger of injury is greatly diminished along with probability of accidentally grabbing boobage.
If we stick strictly to movements I go with burpees as the least favorite and beer curls as my favorite.
March 20th, 2009 at 10:50 am
My least favorite is by far burpees…I don’t think I’m even coordinated enough to do them right….My favorite is anything to do with the barbell…it just’s make me feel like a bad ass when I have control of it….
March 20th, 2009 at 10:51 am
OHHHHHH Tornado Ball……YES….I like that too.
March 20th, 2009 at 10:56 am
Hi, welcome to Chuck and Rob.
@Becky, I don’t know but I think 20# wall balls will be as heavy as it gets tonight!!! But you never know about the sick mind of a CrossFit trainer.
Can’t wait
March 20th, 2009 at 10:57 am
Who’s going to the 5 tonight? Do we need to call local law enforcement for crowd control. We don’t want to be the next Top Model.
@Lis – If you get there early, put out the cones to block off my parking spot.
March 20th, 2009 at 11:00 am
Oh Yeah, favorite = Anything with a barbell!!!
Least favorite = wall-ball.
March 20th, 2009 at 11:01 am
Vivi and I are in for 5pm
March 20th, 2009 at 11:02 am
@ Greg sorry dude…I just drove to the parking spot and pissed all over it…so it’s mine!
March 20th, 2009 at 11:12 am
I am going to try to make it to the 5pm. There are soooo many good ones to choose from…
Fav = “Grace” 30 Clean and Jerks for time; maybe even “Murph” not that I would want to do Murph every day but when we do it I get that excited/throwup feeling all day long! And CFT is always towards the top (moreso because I like watching everyone else) And Anything that involves a TEAM!
Least Fav = Wall Ball (I think I would actually rather do Burpees)
March 20th, 2009 at 11:23 am
Thanks Becky… you sealed our fate for tonight.
March 20th, 2009 at 11:34 am
I’m picturing tonights WOD coming together like…
150 Wall Ball & 150 Burpees for time
“Burping Karen”
March 20th, 2009 at 11:40 am
Oh, sweet. Haiku Friday!
———————————-
Absolute soreness.
A hundred fifty to go.
Thanks, push up challenge!
———————————-
March 20th, 2009 at 12:40 pm
@Dan – unless your sorry ass is showing up to hear Karen Burp, your not allowed to post stuff like that!
March 20th, 2009 at 12:57 pm
50% chance I could maybe possibly be there for the 5 o’clock full house of fun tonight.
Might roll in a few minutes late though…
March 20th, 2009 at 1:08 pm
Burping Karen! Only funny since I’m 12 hrs away & hanging out in a bar, watching the games!!
Welcome Chuck & Rob!
March 20th, 2009 at 1:12 pm
I will be there at 5PM, now that I can actually get in the car. My Triceps may not allow me to drive though. Here’s an interesting article on cleaning up for Summer, but you will have to get it done in Connecticut.

March 20th, 2009 at 1:15 pm
sorry greg – i’ll try to restrain myself & get my sorry ass in there asap
March 20th, 2009 at 2:17 pm
Yeah, you like how Dan is all “Burping Karen with a a 5K Row and 200 Tire Flips” because he won’t be here tonight! And Jill is on her 4th beer at 2:17pm and will only be burping Michelob Ultra for the next 3 days!
March 20th, 2009 at 2:19 pm
I’m only on my 3rd…I think!
March 20th, 2009 at 2:20 pm
I am “planning” on being there for the 5pm. Least favorite, not getting off the couch, favorite anything on our WOD board (I can’t help being a suck up) anyway, I know every time I’ve sighed upon seeing the board, at the end of the WOD, I’ve thought to myself, I’m so glad I did that!
Welcome to the new folks! Also, I’d make sure that you watch the board for where and when Greg will be at CFW. Paparazzi get awfully aggressive trying to catch glimpses of him.
March 20th, 2009 at 2:21 pm
Are they 24 oz ers Jill? That = 6 Dan beers
March 20th, 2009 at 3:08 pm
Rest day for me (aside from the whole 200 push-ups thing). Enjoy tonight, everyone!
March 20th, 2009 at 3:46 pm
I like it all… CrossFit is the balls… But if I had to choose… box jump is my least fav… If someone told me that I would be doing the type of workouts that come with this.. I would have laughed in their face… I am on my way to doing 800 push ups in 4 days…. Who knew… Need to get the word out… people do not know what they are missing!!
March 20th, 2009 at 3:48 pm
OOOOOhHHH forgot tire flipping….like that one too!
March 20th, 2009 at 3:49 pm
lol @ burping karen with a 5k row & 200 tire flips – i knew i was forgetting something
March 20th, 2009 at 3:51 pm
For everyone doing the push-up challenge, I’ve added an inspirational video to our BeyotchesOfCFWatertown group. If your not participating, you can watch too.
March 20th, 2009 at 3:51 pm
oh… and I will be there at 5pm… FINALLY!!
March 20th, 2009 at 3:57 pm
I find it funny that Tracey says CF is the “balls”… I would say that it’s the “tits”. I’m just saying.
March 20th, 2009 at 4:07 pm
Ok.. Ok.. for those of you who are not on FaceBook (what the hell are you waiting for?)… Link to video.

@Lis – you’ll be happy to know that I did not use YouTube
March 20th, 2009 at 6:06 pm
All right people! The slogans for the new t-shirts are up!!!! Make your choices known by signing your name next to your choice….or….speak up on the blog…
BTW…I thought for sure I lost my glasses…of course I left them at CFW…that’s where everything ends up!
I have my race tomorrow…wish me luck!
March 20th, 2009 at 7:32 pm
Good Luck Sue – Let me know how it goes. Just remember when it gets tough – you’re tougher. All mental.
I voted by placing red checks – just call me red checks
March 20th, 2009 at 7:39 pm
I thought that I was the only one that really hated burpees but I guess I’m not alone on that one. My favorite is anything with the barbell and of course wall ball.
Sue-Good luck on your race Sat. With your strength and determination you’ll do great.
March 20th, 2009 at 7:40 pm
Sue that’s awesome…Good Luck many times!! I am sure that you will Kick!!
March 20th, 2009 at 8:17 pm
@Sue – I didn’t know about your race tomorrow. I would have wished you well when you came to get your glasses tonight. Good Luck. Kick some ass!
March 20th, 2009 at 8:33 pm
Go Sue!!!
You really looked fit in your jeans tonight!!!
ROCK-ON
@Chris, Thanks pal, Insight MOP into wall-ball then take a rest day. Bad form mate.
March 20th, 2009 at 8:58 pm
Sue! You will do great. You have it in you. Just keep going, girlfriend.
And give us a report after the finish line!
March 20th, 2009 at 9:14 pm
What I like about CFW is Mary, Rich and everyone else blowing by me on the runs and all of the other activities and I know that if I put in the work like they do I can be like them!! That makes me happy!
March 20th, 2009 at 9:37 pm
Fav – Rope climb
Least fav – HSPU
