Rob, it says hulk, I got some nickname inspiration mid-day. Andrea’s was nemisis, since I think I hear at least one girl a day say “who’s this andrea girl,where did she come from?” and because she’s got a pretty serious track record of coming in half way through the day and smoking people’s times.
rob on May 2nd, 2009
cool. never been called hulk. i’ll take it.
is Andrea the friend of Krista?
Emily on May 2nd, 2009
yeah, and Krista’s the amazon who got the 93 lb strict press. So impressive. Did I mention I had a lot of fun at the gym this week?
rob on May 2nd, 2009
you looked like you were having fun. you must be meant for coaching/training/torturing.
rob on May 2nd, 2009
by the way, I’m really interested in knowing the Crossfit Totals for Leon, Morgan, Anthony, Matt, and Jeff.
David L on May 3rd, 2009
Good job rob, your nickname is totally fitting! Wow krista got a 93# press, nice!
M I B on May 3rd, 2009
Krista and Rob;

Rob,
I did the CF Total today at the YMCA. I was able to PR each of the lifts by 5 lbs (from my last total).
Back Squat: 270
Overhead Press: 150
Deadlift: 380
Of note, I wussed out on my last 1 rep single of the 270 back squat by not going down far enough, so I went for it again and got it at full depth without racking the bar in between. Not sure if that is legal, but I’m taking it!

Morgan,
I was planning on doing Cindy over the weekend at the teacher retreat, but the hotel didn’t have a pull-up bar (grrr). All they had were globo-gym machines and I wasn’t about to be caught dead on one of those!!! So, I had to hold off and do it today in our garage: 17 1/3 rounds.
I’m super bummed I missed CF Total on Friday. Dang, I am impressed by the numbers people put up! Nice work everyone!
rob on May 3rd, 2009
jeff – that is some impressive weight. seriously, that press weight is heavy. i’d say the squat counts. the reason i want to know your total and the other guys is because you guys are like the fire-breathing alpha pack. crazy strong and fast.
mib – thanks. who are you?
morgan on May 4th, 2009
MIB is Marcel. Who else says “Holy diapers?”
Amanda, couldn’t you just do 5 lat-pull downs, 10 pec deck, and 15 hip press?
M I B on May 4th, 2009
LoL…
