[B]Diane[/B] does Diane!:) Nice time; I like the Diane wod.... MURPH! Kudos; :notworth: Never done and dread it, running is not my strong suit, especially sandwiching what'd be a "super cindy" for me. Love [B]Terry's[/B] posted video! I learn a lot watching others. [B]Jim C[/B] Impressive - I'd rather face that on the board, though, than Murph! ring inversions! :eek: These just sound hard [B]Pat[/B], and of course I want to try it. Been working on the rings to get my dip and STILL working on my kip - taking forever to learn to turn my hips over instead of pulling like heck with my knees up; just seems like turning my hips over doesn't get me up to the top, tho I can only do maybe 7-10 good ones to the top the "wrong" way before rest is needed. Work in progress. Happy Superbowl Weekend!

Unofficial WOD. Spent half the night with my daughter (70 lbs and change) either on on my shoulders bouncing (push press) or holding up and bouncing at the Forest Glen Sock Hop.

Built my Rogue plyo box last night. It comes disassembled but pre-drilled.

OK, it looks a little like the bed Homer Simpson built for Bart, but it'll do. Seriously, it's fine (in case any of you are worried about me hurting myself!)

Back is feeling a bit better. Going to do my pullup improvement focus strength workout today, followed by this:

"JJ's Funhouse"

For time:
50 box jumps
40 burpees
30 ring dips
20 GHD situps
10 Turkish Get-Ups (5 ea. arm, 1 pood k-bell)

Will post time later. We have, I'm guessing, 9-10 inches of snow on the ground (more falling, supposed to stop this aft.) this AM and I need to clear that first (once I get motivated).

Third grade, but one of the tallest kids in class. Posted some pictures on FB.

Stephen, this is one way a doing a progression to a front lever. The final stage is illustrated on the exercise video at the main XF site. I did the work out at the "tuck" stage.

[B]Diane D:[/B] we got a total of about 10-11 inches. Looks like it's all done now. I would guess it should start tapering off in Western PA before too long.

Diane D. have fun w. the shoveling. Actually when I lived back in Queens, NY, I used to like shoveling snow late at night. everything was so quiet. You could hear the city buses rolling along w. their chains. I found it very serene.

Today did the 100206 workout: 7 X 5 X DL

Warm up of 10 X 135. Then 5 X 225, 255,285,305, 325, 345, 365.

My hands are shot. No tears though. 5 X 5 has been done before. This was the first 7 X5. Hard work.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

2/6 WOD.

With a team of 4: 1 person performs 20 Overhead Squats for time. While this is happening, another team member does as many double-unders as possible, while the third person performs as many ring rows as possible. Once the overhead squatter is done, rotate positions. One person will rest.

I did OHS @ 75#. My double-under rounds were 27, 23, 8; ring rows rounds were 25, 25, 15. I nailed the rest rounds, though. :kicking0:

Warm-up consisted of races flipping BFT's and muscle-up practice. (Too bad I ruined the glow of the morning by leaving my car windows rolled down as a massive rain cell came through.) :ranting2:
