The CrossFit Games

Better sign up for all the fun as you have one less excuse…”I can’t do the Games workouts, they are too hard.” You just did one. There are no good excuses.

Warm up
100 Russian KB swings

Mobility
Hurdler stretch

Then, From 2011
AMRAP 15 minutes
9 deadlift 155/100
12 hand release push ups
15 box jumps 24/20

So. Much. Fun.

For those participating in the Hatch squat cycle, we just completed week 8 of our 12 weeks. It was a step back in weight and reps and it was nice to pile on the metcon with the squats. We go again Thursday for this bit of entertainment and sKrongness. Get you some!

From Lisbeth Darsh at CrossFit HQ…Top Ten reasons for not joining the Open…
“10. “I don’t know what the workouts are.”
Yeah, that’s the point. Nobody does until they’re announced.

9. “I’m not good enough.”
Enough, Froning. We go through this every year.

8. “My goals don’t match the Open.”
Getting fit isn’t your goal?

7. “I don’t have $20.”
Sure. Let me hold your latte while you text on your iPhone about your lunch date.

6. “I’m too busy.”
Understandable. You need to save all your time for watching that Sons of Anarchy marathon. Priorities.

5. “I’m scared.”
We all are. There’s a support group for fear. We meet at the box … and do the Open workouts.

4. “Everyone who does the Open dies.”
Um, not true.

3. “My cat is lonely.”
Valid.

2. “I’m not competitive.”
Tell me again why you joined a fitness program with timed workouts and Leaderboards?

1. “I like to work out naked.”
Video the workouts. We’ll review them. Carefully. Trust me on this one.”

Thanks, Lisbeth…
