Lisr found this while perusing some other gym sites.  We have the good fortune to have our own box.  This reminded me of something from an early CrossFit Journal.  Thought it made for some entertaining reading:

Bring your own music – use a boom box – and turn it up to inspiration levels and start working out.  AC-DC’s “Thunderstruck”  should do the trick.

Set up a circuit like one of the typical CrossFit “Workouts of the Day” and put a sign up at each station advising others that this equipment is reserved for accurate timing of your effort.

While practicing the Olympic lifts drop a max load from overhead.  This may do it here.

Find a twenty-inch platform and perform box jumps.  Try three sets of two minutes of max jumps.  Bizarrely, this one irks the shit out of most gym management.

Take a pair of dumbbells out into the parking lot to do walking lunges.  You may be accused of theft.

Bring several powerlifting buddies to do some super heavy deadlifts.  Don’t forget to grunt, scream, and use chalk!

If the gym has support poles climb them.  If not find something to climb; sling a rope over a beam or rafters, attach some climbing holds to the wall and use them.  You won’t get to the climbing part if you need to attach anything.  You may get stopped at the door coming in with a twenty-five foot coil of two-inch rope.

Workout with your shirt off.  If you don’t get a reaction have your girlfriend or wife take hers off.

Walk on your hands, or do handstand push-ups or some other basic gymnastics stuff.

If you’ve gotten this far, this one is the clincher.  Record your efforts by writing them on the wall.
