January 22, 2009


For time:
15 Handstand push-ups
1 L Pull-up
13 Handstand push-ups
3 L Pull-ups
11 Handstand push-ups
5 L Pull-ups
9 Handstand push-ups
7 L Pull-ups
7 Handstand push-ups
9 L Pull-ups
5 Handstand push-ups
11 L Pull-ups
3 Handstand push-ups
13 L Pull-ups
1 Handstand push-up
15 L Pull-ups
OK: Can't do a handstand pushup? You can substitute with elevated pushups (stick those feet on the edge of the ring or a plyo box) or a heavy shoulder press, but the elevated pushups are the much better choice. Can't do an L-pullup? That is also OK: try strict pullups if you've got the kippers down, or just work at whatever pullup level you are at!
Where's Waldo? Can you find Jason A. in this pic of the Oly Lift Cert last weekend, held at the great Crossfit Marina of HB?
I know, I know- I missed you guys again yesterday. But I caved midday and had to take pain meds due to the ceaseless pounding in my jaw and ear. Thank goodness the A-Team was there to see you through ;) Back soon, I promise, though I now refuse to provide an exact date as I fear God may be in a joking mood and give me yet another dry socket. The good news is I'm running out of teeth for him to do that too...

Duh! Jason is the only one who manages to look like Ares in a thumbnail photo! I say the muscle-bound stud on the left. *sigh* Jason is dreamy!!!

Jason, please stop posting about yourself. We all know you are a handsome devil.

PS- Wasn't Ares the slightly dorky son of Zeus who was always getting beaten up by his half-sister, Athena?
PPS- Can you tell I'm feeling better (finally)?

And didn't Zeus call Hephaestus (blacksmith of the Gods) to crack open his skull over (no pun intended) a "splitting" headache that turned out to be Athena (goddess of wisdom), who sprang, fully grown, from Zeus's head once it cracked open? Moral: smart chicks = headache, even to the Gods. (I got your back Jason!)

Alas, Athena left me this morn and let me echo the Herculean efforts of Andy (who inadvertently invented the "FrAndy" WOD yesterday -- read 4th & 7th-9th posts): being a guy, I neither ask for directions nor read instructions until after the fecal matter intersects disjointedly with the centrifugal array of spinning partial parabolas -- So I started doing a 1-step decrease/increase of HstandPsups & L-Pups (instead of the 2-step graduation prescribed). This I did until I got to the 9 HstandPsups level and noticed the description of the WOD was a lot shorter than I expected. In all, the WOD calls for 64 HstandPsups & 64 L-Pups. I ended up doing 93 HstandPsups & 67 L-Pups in 14:59.

At least I'm in good company, right Andy?

(Inset: hijacked an American standard and tagged it for today's WOD)

Moose,
You are da Man! We don't need no stinkin directions, we'll eventually finish the workout. In your honor, I'm going to do the workout right now in 1 step increments instead of 2.
