"Med Ball Madness"
As many rounds as possible in 20 minutes:
10 wall balls
10 med ball cleans
10 med ball pushups (hands on med ball instead of the floor)
10 med ball abmat situps (NO GHD SITUPS WITH MED BALL- way too much potential for injury- don't even bother asking)

5050: 35-35-35

Please note: We will be closed on May 23rd and May 25th in honor of Memorial Day. (This will also give you plenty of chances to be rested up for the Grace Challenge on the 26th :)

A few words about diet. It is important. I've read several times that your performance and appearance are 80% diet. While I highly doubt it's that high- and we have several bodies around our gym to prove it (case in point: Tom just informed me he spends $15/day every day in fast food- and boy, he does not look like he does!) However, the more you train Crossfit, the more your diet will have an effect on your performance. Now that we have the Success Journals in, which are complete with a Crossfit Journal article on how to do the Zone, food logs, and quick tips, there is no reason why you shouldn't be monitoring your food intake. You guys are training like athletes and performing like them- why not eat like one? As Nicole Carroll says, "Get off the crack!" (meaning sugar).
