Workouts

Thursday 2010.02.25

Once you care, once you’re committed, the rest will fall into place.

–Greg Glassman

Class is ON as usual: we work out snow or no snow!

Thursday is “Ladies’ Night” here in Brooklyn, but that doesn’t mean the men aren’t invited. Everyone is welcome to come down and test their luck with one of CrossFit‘s special “Girls.” The Girl workouts are benchmarks which we use to test our members.

Coach Greg Glassman says, “The crushing charm of these ladies lies in their magnificent capacity to root out weaknesses and humiliate you with them.

For each of the girls, the workout requires that you complete the requisite number of reps for each exercise before moving to the next exercise. You can attack them in any way you choose, but do not roll on to the next exercise until the specified numbers of reps are completed.

If you are doing the Workout of the Day (WOD), you are training for these workouts. Doing the WOD and applying yourself 100% to these workouts when they come around is enough and if you are improving at these you are becoming fitter.”

Ladies’ Night
“Christine”
3 rounds for time of:
500m Row

  11. good sam says:

    In the grand scheme of things, Fran ain’t so bad. Of course, everyone always likes the ones they’re better at ;)

  12. tommy says:

    Damn, I’m stuggling hard here while Dennis watches along, can’t see me in the pic..that was fun guys, the workouts were a blast @ the cert!

  13. Christine says:

    Totally bummed to miss tonight, namesake and all!

  14. tylerdurden says:

    It should be required for you to show up when the workout is your namesake. Of course, I can say that because there is no workout named “Keith” nor would I ever program such a silly workout.

  15. Christine says:

    I promise to make it up at the next open gym I am at! How’s that?! Keith if you were to do “Keith” workout what would it be? very curious

  16. Guillermo says:

    Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

  17. matt says:
