Noo, why does this have to happen while I am out of town? I love deadlift metcons.
Have fun everyone
newflower market, whole raw almonds 3.99 lb.
is that Tom or Frankenstein’s monster?
6:02 @285lbs – alas no muscleups and i needed a purple band for the last few dips – although i did 6 more to compensate.
Great work this morning. Lots of really good looking deadlifts.
7:42 with 95# DL, purple band on pull-ups, and 2 purple bands on most of the dips. Great workout, and it was nice meeting you, Chase and Johnny!
Nice picture Tom!
Get some, Tom…
What do you think Tom’s about to crush with that med ball?
I hope my muscle ups are there today. Looking forward to this one.
That picture is scary!!! I wouldn’t mess with that guy
gotta love heavy met con. 225, no muscle ups, but full pull ups and 1 purple band dips.
I’m so disapponted that I over slept this morning, I love deadlift!
Looks like a fun one. Sore as hell from last two days, should make tonight super awesome.
a question for you seasoned crossfit guys and gals:
at what point do you stop feeling like you have been in a car accident the day after a work out? it will be a glorious morning when i wake up and don’t feel like i need a Rascal Scooter to get around.
It does get better after a while. What’s a while? I’ve been here two months and it’s settled down quite a bit.
alayna, i have been doing it a year and a half and still feel that way. especially after the 10 min wod of squats. couldnt walk straight for a week.
Tom looks as if he is trying to kill something by throwing a med ball at it – I also believe he may be in the lead on this paleo challenge although I have not seen every contestant since the Jan 4th weigh in….he has to be way up on the list
6:46 rx 315 lb. 1st time doing muscle ups. Good time
Jeez Patrick. @alaynamac, Patrick is half correct. We have a little saying that goes “it doesn’t get easier, it just gets heavier and faster.” Although it’s funny and somewhat true I will say that rarely do I ever get as sore as the first couple of months I did CrossFit. Your body will acclimate and recover better from most workouts after several weeks. There are workouts that we do every so often, like the 10 minutes of air squats that will make you very sore. We only do these sorts of workouts every once in a while for this reason. Also, when I do get sore, it is usually my own fault for doing things I shouldn’t. For instance, doing a really tough workout and then going out drinking with friends, doing a really tough workout and then eating bad food, or doing a really tough workout and then staying up all night playing video games. So to answer your questions, yes, there will be a point when you can wake up without feeling like a freight truck broadsided you going 80mph. Will you ever get hit by that freight truck again? Yes, probably.

John- John S and I are signed up for the 1200 on Sunday. We should all get a carpool or something going?
250 for dead and pullups and dips (started with the purple band….then the blue…..then both…..then it sucked)
8:08
7:05 with 230# and purple band on dips
Next time heavier and no band.
8:00 @ 355#, subbed pullups and dips b/c I am muscle up retarded….
9:15 @ 320# …. had to sub the pullups and dips/ no bands though so I did as many as I could then the rest I did Negativs on.. dips I got all of.
Welcome back from the Utah slopes: 9:41 at 175# ouch
9:46 295# for deadlift. could do the muscle ups for demo and practice but could not get one to save my life during the workout. after wasting 2 minutes in the first round trying to get one i switched to the 3×3 pull ups/ring dips
