"Diane"
21-15-9 reps of:
225 pound Deadlift
Handstand push-ups
What's the one movement you are just *dying* to get down in Crossfit? A pullup? A handstand pushup? A 400# deadlift? A muscle-up? For me, for the longest time it was a pullup. I felt so great when I finally got one! Then I started working on the handstand pushup, and then I got pregnant, so I think my next "goal movement" is going to be the pullup...again! Ah well. Or, conversely, what move did you finally conquer that you worked on forever? I totally love seeing people get their first [fill in the blank], and I remember when Lily got her first pullup (at Alan's goading). I've witnessed a few first muscle-ups as well (sadly, none have been my own).
Everybody signed up for the KB seminar on Saturday???
Also- just a reminder that the Fran challenge starts October 1. Part I will be in both Long Beach & Tustin, while Part II will be held in Tustin on November 21. You pay $30 to enter, $20 of which stays in the pot. There are financial awards for fastest rx'd time and biggest improvement. Put your Crossfit to the test! :)
Many of you have seen this video already, but since I posted about the Fran Challenge (and I think this vid is hysterical) I'm posting it again. Admittedly, I wish this guy pulled his head through more on the thrusters, and had a better kip, but you can't argue with his improvement!
