The 5pm class takes on “Barbara” yesterday.
Some folks hate Barbara and some folks love her — because she’s all bodyweight: pull-ups, push-ups, sit-ups, squats. Lots of ‘em.
But, love her or hate her, you just have to do her. And she’s good for you, even if you don’t want to admit it. She forces you to dig deep inside yourself to keep pushing, relentless, unyielding in your pursuit of the task at hand, for what is a fairly long time in CrossFit-land. (And still less than most people spend at a “regular” gym for lesser results! Ha!)
Still, Barbara’s better in a group. Way better. Can you imagine doing her on your own, or at a “regular” gym?

And it was only round #1! But I think it was on the second set of 10 pull-ups for me, because Erin is facing the other way.

Props to “New Mike” who chose last night for his FIRST offical CFW WOD… ouch. I hope he comes back! Seriously though, great effort. You’ll be kickin’ our asses in no time buddy!

Are we doing back squats today? I was going to take today as a rest day but if its back squats, I’ll have to come in my nursing uniform….

Fun times last night! I almost sorta like these epic metcons.
Welcome to the mix “New Mike”! Helluva WOD to kick things off with
Also, big thanks to Chris and Kirk (and Lis yelling something about hitting me in the head on the final 50 squats) for pushing me through it.
See y’all tonight.

Sweet Jesus, I’m going to bite my tongue and not comment on the nursing uniform.
No to BS tonight . . . it’s actually OHS. If you need to rest after Barbara, definitely do that and then see us on Thurs.
I will be coaching the 5 and 6, BTW.

OMG – OHS – Last time I did OHS I dropped the bar on my head…
Lesson learned – never underestimate the power of fatigue!
