It is so important to constantly challenge ourselves physically. We are people wanting to influence each other and others we meet along the way.
This is where we can get workouts for the day, track your times, pr's, ask and reply to questions and comments.

This is also where we will share what events we are participating in and opening them up to the rest of the team to take part in.

Monday...Here we go!

After a GREAT session of Re-Tests yesterday, we are back to a Monday WOD.

CFNE has a Friday/Monday - Test/Retest schedule for OPEN!
They do have an alternative WOD, for those Regional Qualifiers and on the Main WOD.

Oz performed 15.1 (A) today...great effort and push!!! PRed in the C&J like everyone else in our group...I guess the 9 minute (intense) warm-up helps!!!

Witt, Daliege and I did the "Picture" WOD from CFNE...

15.1 / 15.1-A
Oz ~ 15.1 = 124 Reps (4 Rnds + 4 TTB) / 175# ... just missed 185# before time ran out!
Soooooo....he waited about a minute or two and gave it another go... GOT IT!!! 185#...easy!!!
It does not count for the 15.1-A WOD, BUT it is a PR by Oz on his Clean & Jerk (or Push Press in his case ;-)

Picture (CFNE)
AMRAP in 15 min:
30 Jumping Lunges
30 KB Swings (55#/35#)
30 H.R. Push Ups

Witt ~ 2 Rnds + 4 Push Ups (244 Reps)
Daliege ~
tb ~ 3 Rnds + 17 Lunge Jumps (287 Reps) [w/ 20# vest]

Beep Test - 2

This is a NASTY little WOD (test)...

Ben Bergeron (owner of CFNE) is a mad-scientist of crossfit and all things physical (not to mention mental)!
He tests, retests and experiments on ALL types of bodies and abilities!!!
From their mainsite CFNE to CompTrain sites...he trains average Jills/Joes to Elite Games Qualifiers!
Last year CompTrain programming had a TON of open athletes working thru the daily WOD's. And there were a bunch from all over the world that MADE it to Regionals...some to the games!!!

His programming and work embodies what I believe Crossfit is truly about...community! Anyone and everyone can be doing the same (scaled or otherwise) WOD. This makes the "sharing of the pain" more bearable...

Speaking of that, is there anything more motivating that someone who is working out with you...WHILE they are doing their set...HOLLERING (well, encouraging and speaking loudly) at you to keep moving and going?!?!?

This is what happens in a WOD like the BEEP TEST... All I wanted to do was give up (weak on my part)...And all I could hear was Val saying, "Let's GO!!! Keep moving"

So...
Warm-Up on your own...JB & Oz did Suicides (I believe)...

Then...when you are ready ~

BERGERON BEEP TEST
EMOM for as long as possible...
7 Thrusters (75#/55#)
7 Pull Ups
7 Burpees

(Scale to 6's or 5's if you need to...)
Otherwise, If you need a workout, and you do not feel you have pushed yourself enough (not made enough rounds) ~ Rest a Minute or Two and goto REPs of 5's or 4's and try to continue...

Suggestion is that Open Athletes make it to 9 Rounds (Yea, right...Holy Cow!!)

Our First time ever doing Beep Test is HERE

Feidt ~ 3 Rnds + 17 Reps / Then did 5's  for quite a while!!! ANIMAL
JB ~ 2 Rnds +?? / Went to 5's and seemed like he could go forever!!! BEAST
Oz ~ 2 Rnds + 19 Reps / Got mad at himself so started SNATCH...and just got more frustrated...Wait till the breakthru happens...He will be unstoppable once he breaks the 145# Snatch mark!!!
Witt ~ 2Rnds + 14 (5's) / Then 50-40-30-20-10 Jump Rope, Sit Ups, Push Ups
Val ~ 2 Rnds / 1min rest / 3rnds of 5s / 1min rest / 5rnds of 3s
tb ~ 5 Rnds + 13 Reps / Rested 4 Minutes and could only muster up 2 Rnds of 5's...rested another MINUTE and did 2 more rounds of 5's...Mental Toughness needs work!!! I was talking to myself like a skitzo during this workout!
