Let us form one body, one heart, and defend to the last warrior our country, our homes, our liberty, and the graves of our fathers.

Thursday is “Ladies’ Night” here in Brooklyn, but that doesn’t mean men aren’t invited. Everyone’s 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 athletes and measure our results against other CrossFitters around the world.
Why girl names? Coach Glassman says, “Anything that leaves you flat on your back looking up at the sky asking ‘WTF happened to me?’ deserves a female name.” Adjust your expectations accordingly!
Ladies’ Night
“Angie”

Beast! I’m so coming for this one!
I’m in.
My hands hurt just looking at this
Just when I was bemoaning how badly my abs and hands hurt from sit ups and pull ups.
Shit.
i registered for the spartan run. people are doing 1030am heat?
yes Joey. 1030 heat = where it’s at
SPAR-TAN!
19:17 as rx’d.
1:04 slower than my pr so not thrilled with the performance. Was making great time on until huge tear on my left hand around pullup 70. Last 30 were slow and painful. Situps sucked as usual.
Started wendlers 5-3-1 program today to on a journey to get stronger. If anyone is interested in joining me let me know. I can fill you in on the basics.
Deadlifts 5-5-5+
190-225-256(10)
If anyone is suffering from hurting hands or would just perfer to work on the skill of the month (running) remember that I teach a free CFE class every Thursday at 6pm, including tonight.
Hope to see you there.

2 minute PR. Put my new butterfly kipping pull-up to use. Sort of…:( My hands are wrecked. Oops!
I just signed up for spartan too! Hopefully I will be doing better than today…
30:12 rx
I was doing ok until the squats when I got sick and took like 5 mins to do them
That sh*t was BANANAS!!
Pull-ups were significantly more horrible than everything else.
32:21 or something….green bandy and paralegs (yes I’m a weakling, but I promise to get stronger
19:51, almost 10 minutes better than first time I did it in November 2009. Starting Strength – it works. Pushups were my biggest weakness the first time and no question the Starting Strength program helped tremendously with that.
22:45
PR by almost 3 minutes.
24:22
Just performed surgery on my 7 blisters – OUCH! Luckily I only ripped once – Emily not sure how you hung in for 80 more after ripping.
Emily/Liz – top of the leader boards – awesome work!!
If you havent signed up for Spartan get on that – here’s the link and we are all in the 10:30am heat http://www.spartanrace.com/queens_ny.php
If you are overall winner you get a Spartan Spear which would totally ROCK!
19:51
Never done this one before but was shooting for sub 20 mins. Crushed the squats in the last 135 seconds!
