Come to think of it.....I've never missed a Rest Day. :)

nice to see something different...

Congratulations CFNE!

3 min AMRAP 69 reps (19TTB)

6 min AMRAP 119 reps (19 SDHP-subbed 2 pood KB)

5-5-3-3-2-1 Back squat focusing on full depth.

315-335-365-385-405-425PR!

Then 30 box jumps at 45inches for some fun.

anyone know why Froning's last rope climb was a "no rep"? looked like hit hit the top to me

There's a white mark on the tape about halfway down that the athletes needed to descend past before dropping. His hand was above the mark on the final rep.

I think it was that the athletes had to "show control" until they were below the mark. So just sliding down, while still touching weren't enough either. But pretty much what benpower said...

Kristan Clever is so stinkin cute! She's so bubbly and happy!

But seriously, these mustaches have got to stop. Quit messing around.. sideburns are way cooler than those kitty ticklers.

Can I come back to Cookeville and work out with Rich?

I agree with AllisonNyc.... 'stache has to go.

I just want to point out she referred to it as a "kitty tickler".

I think a system similar to the Tour De France stage winner system would be awesome for future Games events. Specifically I'm thinking of how winners of each Tour de France Stage wear a bright yellow jersey/shirt in the subsequent stage. Though I think for the games it would be more relevant if the overall points leader wore the "yellow jersey" rather than the winner of the previous event.

I apologize if someone already thought of this, for some reason it just came to me out of no where.

Found "The God Complex" to be very informative. I would venture to guess that Tim is an adherent of Popper's critical rationalism.

Josh: I just want to point out that in TDF it is the all-round leader that wears the yellow jersey. It is true they have a focus on each stage winner, and there is several other jerseys. The winner of the stage the day before has no "evidence" of this the next day.

Did my own little WOD today and smoked myself!

1 mile run (in my vibrams)
30 manmakers (15 lb dumbells)
1 mile run

29:10
Anyone run 5k or 10k in vibrams? I have run no fur her than 1 mile at a time.

Paleo diet: I've been pretty strict the last 40 days except I do drink some almond milk. I also am not sure how much to eat. I find myself eating alot and not sure if I'm overeating protein. Can anyone help me? I would greatly appreciate it. I am 50 yrs old female 5'3" and 115 lbs. I would guess I'm about 9-11 percent body fat. Please email me at longrunn10@aol.com. Thanks!

@#17 Ease into the longer distances when running in the Vibrams. Pushing it too hard will lead to injury. Good luck.

Thanks for the clarification on the Rich's rope climb...I couldn't figure it out either. Yes...the kitty tickler's have to go. Ha! I love that though...never heard that euphimism before. Thanks Allison.

31 Special Operations personnel just went down on a chopper in Afghanistan.... If possible a tribute hero wod would be appreciated to remember their sacrifice. Only something monumental will do as this was such a blow to the special operations community.

CONGRATS CFNE - WELL DESERVED!

WOD 110805

14:58

scaled SDHP to 2 pood kettlebell
scaled shoulder to overhead to 115 lbs
subbed 120 ft farmer carry with 2 and 1.5 pood kettlebells for sled pull

on my birthday!

15:40
rxd except did 165lb dummy drag 120'---far easier than those sled pulls at the games

thought about doing reverse pushups on rope with feet elevated on box, others at gym did dummy pull so did that for consistency--besides looked a helluva lot easier.

God bless our SOF brothers and their
Families. Regardless of personal opinions
or political views, many of our countrymen
have given their lives, and families have lost
loved ones.

RIP.

Need some help. Want to buy a rope so I can complete WODs like the video shown today. Any advice. Dont want to chew my hands too bad nor rip my legs to shreads. Rogue has manila ropes is that my best bet or is there something else you guys like? Thanks!

Thanks bobC! Will do

A tragic loss to special forces in afghanistan. My condolences to all families and friends. Words are not enough.

Steve UK ex-miltary

Those behind the scenes videos are definitely my favorite to watch.

@#20,

I agree with you. A hero WOD would be a great tribute to these brave and selfless Special Ops personnel. God Bless you all and thank you for what you do. Families, my heartfelt condolences. I hope that when I am older I too can give back to those who have given me so much and this wonderful life that I enjoy. RIP.

I heard it was 30 navy seals and 7 soldiers from the Afghan army that got killed.

I dunno if it's true but supposedly the chopper landed on the roof of some high ranking taliban leader's house. And then gunshots were heard from inside the house. When the chopper tried to liftoff it got caught by a grenade. That's what I heard on the radio a few hours ago (in Sweden).

What's the criteria for a soldiers death to be honored by a hero wod? Do they have to have some sort of connection to crossfit? Anybody knows? I guess more soldiers in the US armed forces must have perished the last few years, than the number of hero wods, right?

My condolances to the families of the fallen soldiers.

Guess we will have a lot more hero wods coming up in the next few weeks. I will do my best to honor them. RIP....... God bless their families and loved ones in this horrible time.....

Yeah well Cindee, if you come up with some workout routine that makes you truelly bulletproof, remember to clue the rest of us knuckleheads in will you...

Sad news from Afghanistan. RIP soldiers.

Tim Harford video: "The miracle of trial and error created a human baby." Hogwash!

That is down right laughable. Why not just be intellectually honest, and glorify G-d for having provided the miracle of life? You can not take nothing, multiply it times billions of nothing, and get everything. Sorry, that is plan silly! It is far easier intellectually to believe G-d always existed and made everything, then to suppose and believe nothing existed, then nothing made itself happen, which then made everthing.

Anyone know what socks these guys were wearing? Been looking for a good pair or 5 for my deads and cleans. Getting better with my form to not carve up my shins, but in the mean time I'd rather not leave "DNA on the barbell" lol. I was at the Games Sunday and CFNE rocked! The whole experience was so inspiring.
