Didn’t do the sprint bit today (oh darn…), but got a 75# snatch PR during an Olympic Lift Private with Eric. Dude knows his stuff ya’ll. A very good investment, especially if you’re as freaked out as I was by trying to whip heavy things up over my head.
Also got a 3 consecutive no band kipping pullup PR. Woot!
@josh, you have accurately described what I was like this morning; it is just missing the trying desperately not to throw up part. Holy goodness. 17/17/17/18/18/18/18/17
Congrats @lisa! And Warren, impressive, impressive, impressive!
Great article! Thanks for posting that Lindsey. My favorite line “And talk about sex appeal. Not unlike the professional volleyball tour, this sport exudes attractiveness…and sex sells.”
The Games next year are going to be crazy…competitor-wise and sponsor wise. Maybe they can afford a sound system for music during the closing cermony or perhaps more than one hoarse guy handing out and announcing medals.
Wow, I really hate running. Although, I actually hate sprinting a tad bit less than longer distance running.

Good job 5:30 and thanks for listening to me whine the whole time!
18-17-16-16-16-16-16-16-17 ….. and 3 pull ups in a row with a purple band … a first …. Marily said that I had a surprised look once I was looking over the bar at the first one which made me loose momentum a little !!! Wahoooo !!!
Warren is very focused… Heather is yawning.

Sprinting/running is one of those things that sucks really bad while you’re doing it, but afterwards you feel accomplished!

Way to go Andrew on your first muscle-up!

Yeah the privates with the coaches are outstanding. Well worth the money!
O this was fun last time I did it….I think I had muscle spasms and looked like a pansy laying on the ground about to cry….good times good times.

Lisa – first pullup is a huge accomplishment. Congrats.
Congratulations Lisa, that’s terrific!
As much as I love sprints I’m out for this one. My psoas hurts, I need it to calm down.

So fast Lindsey! So if you did 100m in an avg of 18 sec, does that mean Warren went backwards in time? That dude is crazy fast.

Awesome job!
Way to go Mel!
Good job Melanie, on the sprints and pull-ups! That’s awesome!
