    I think I need to borrow Armando’s shoulders for this one next time.

    95/115/125/130/135(3 reps only)

    Oddly enough, I actually have what they call a Bear Complex, it came from years of crapping in the woods when I was a kid. Needless to say, I was a little worried at first when I saw the WOD today.

    I know I had a few fouls, mainly resting on the ground! Nice to see everyone again after vacation.

  • 95/105/115/125/135 X 2 (FINISHED REST OF SET) great workout!! It takes a lot of cardio that you wouldn’t expect it caused me to do the white boy shirt take off.

    55/65/75/85/85 Had some fouls in the last two sets with some drops from the back squat to overhead press, resulting in some timeouts 🙂

    So, I kind of liked tonights workout (but my weights were also lighter than everyone else’s). It was tough, but I made it through. Glad to be back in the gym after having a week off (although I really did enjoy my time at the beach!) 45-55-60-60-60

  • Yea Jess, you looked really good tonight.
    There was a lot of the “F” bomb being thrown around tonight………..can anyone say “FRUSTRATED” How about “FOUL”……?
    To be able to throw the weight around for 4 of the 5 movements in a sequence, and have to “foul” because of what seems like such a small detail. UGH! My fouls were in the final movement from back squat into last push press-
    The funny thing about Crossfit is that now I’m Pi$$ed and want to try this again!

  • OK, first post but I liked this one too! I gotta be nuts… Anyway, great job by all tonight! I managed all rounds, like Jess (welcome back!) I took it lighter than the rest. 45, 50, 55, 60, 65. Dropped once with the same push press from the back. Better next time!!!
