Press-ure

The pic has nothing to do with the WOD, I just thought it was a good one, and I didn't take any photos today.

4 rounds

Press

KB Bent-over row

Balance bar

Max L-sit hold

(add weight to press after each round)

Thus ends our current strength cycle with this lifting format.  We will continue to use it in the future, although not as frequently.  It is a useful variation, but I feel a need to get back to the tried and true 5×5 for the time being.

In conversation with Kristin today, she turned me towards an article about the “allure of the sexy met-con.”  If you’ve got a minute, I’d recommend it.

    That was a really good article… and i am glad to see we are going back to the old 5×5 format i did enjoy the new format i just also like the lift then a short to medium met con to follow. And now that i am “healthy” again i look foward to adding wieght and new pr’s……….

    The soccer team didn’t work out because we were short by about half a team. Dave brought up a good idea that we should just play at Fort Steilacoom park, no commitment and no money required. We are going to have a pick up game tomorrow at noon anyone and everyone are welcome to join us, bring some friends we need enough people. Afterwards we can all go for ice cream and alcohol at Leon’s birthday.

    This is an off-topic submission, but as good a place as any to leave it. If you see Maggie C at cross-fit next week, congratulate her on a job well done. She held her own this week at the West Zone Synchronized Swimming Championships, competing against 230 athletes from Wa, Ca, Az, & Nv, at the King County Aquatic Centre. Way to go Maggie!!

  4. Paul S says:

    Great picture of Leon. “Hercules” turns 30!

  5. Emily says:

    Yeah, that picture must have been taken before he turned 30.

  6. Leon says:

    Easy with old age comments, you’ll hurt my feelings. Remember, just because I rock, doesn’t mean I’m made of stone.
