Worse than Linda...

We found another WOD worse than...Linda...

The Shop had this one:

Basic 5/55
10-1 for Time of:
Deadlift (225#)
Dips (Ring or Stationary)
Front Squat (135#)
Burpee Box Jumps (24")
Push Press (135#)

VERY TOUGH...
Modify with DL @ 185, 155, 135 or 95
Modify FS & PP @ 115, 95, 75 or 55

ENJOY...

Thursday WOD @ 8:30am...

Tougher than Murph?!

Hard to say one HERO WOD is tougher than another... IF/When we do, we NEVER mean any disrespect these Hero's that have served our country!  They are all TRUE Heros of our country...  Performing a WOD in their name is always an honor...

The newest Hero WOD...BULL... was the most grueling by far...
 2 Rounds For Time:
   200 Double Unders (600 Singles)
   50 Overhead Squats (135#)
   50 Pull Ups
   1 Mile Run

U.S. Marine Corps Captain Brandon "Bull" Barrett, 27, of Marion, Indiana, assigned to the 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force, based out of Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, was killed on May 5, 2010, while supporting combat operations in Helmand Province, Afghanistan.

Modify as needed...But understand the Overhead Squats NEED to be heavy...

GOOD LUCK!!!!

Tomorrow's WOD @ 8AM (LHS)!!!

12 Days of Christmas...

Special thanks goes out to Andy Gallego (Crossfit Takeover) & Chris Russell (Crossfit Jax) for their work on this WOD...

1 ~ 150m Run
2 ~ Push Ups*
3 ~ Burpees*
4 ~ Pull Ups
5 ~ Knees 2 Elbows
6 ~ KB Swing (55/35#)
7 ~ Deadlift**
8 ~ Hang Power Clean**
9 ~ Push Press**
10 ~ Front Squat**
11 ~ Thruster**
12 ~ Overhead Squat**

This will be performed just like the song is sung (i.e. 1 run, then 2 Push Ups & 1 Run, then 3 Burpees & 2 Push Ups & 1 Run...etc)
* ~ Push Ups require "hands-off" @ bottom, as will the Burpees (CFJAX Style)
** ~ Barbell exercises should ALL be performed with the same weight of either 95#/75# (scale as needed)

Enjoy, scale/modify as you need...Most of all have fun and EVERYONE have a great Christmas!

We, in Rapids, have been doing a different "12 Days" WOD with our athletes for three years just before Christmas... The athletes started asking about the WOD a few weeks ago.

Hope the ANYthing Once Crew enjoys...

Polar Plunge Dates

Here are some dates.  I am leaning more toward the Rapids one... I think it is time for a get-together, maybe some karaoke, and definitely some games...
2-5-11  WR
2-19-11 Oshkosh; Madison

You can see the others on polarplungwisconsin.org but these are the three I thought closest for group.
What will the costume be this year?

Dirty 30...

Trina's Birthday!!!

Happy Birthday to one of our very own and original TEAM Memebers ~ Trina Sydorowicz!

We will be looking into a GREAT Saturday WOD to celebrate her birthday...Since she is a BIG FAN of Murph...it could get pulled from the hopper!  Fun Times...

It will more than likely be something else...as the birthday girl gets to have one vote of rejection...Stay posted!

BTW ~ today's WOD (Whitten) was awful tough...I was seeing stars the whole day!
Bert and Britt are fighting over a called cheat...Which is a no-no among team members...even if it happens, if the cheating party can live with themself ~ so be it!
