This is meant to be a sprint. At CF level 1 Certifications, there is a 10 min. cutoff for the workout so they can run the next heat.

12 Days of Xmas

The morning crew took on an ambitious workout this morning, making the most of the last WOD before our holiday break. We modified a workout from CrossFit Old Town

“The 12 Days of Christmas”

1. Broad Jump (across room)
2. Bear Crawls (across room)
3. Push Press
4. Clean and Jerk
5. Decline Pushups
6. Knees-to-Elbows
7. Kettlebell Swings
8. Hanging Leg Raises
9. Ring Dips
10. Burpees
11. Pullups
12. Double Unders

Do it like the song… as you move on to another ‘day’ you still must complete all of the preceding ‘days’ with it.

Kudos to John to pushing hard for over an hour to get as much holiday spirit as he possibly could!

Best wishes for a safe and happy holiday from our family at CFSP to yours!

Deadlifts

We ended our warmup with bottom-to-bottom Tabata Pushups. It was rough on most people but was a great warmup for those burpees. After the workout, Pete stayed a while and worked on lifting heavier. He got up to 285 before he was done. Nice job Pete - you’ll have to go heavier for the workout next time.

“Nasty Girls”

Today we did a variaton of “Nasty Girls”. The original workout calls for 7 muscle-ups but as most of us are still working on achieving a muscle-up we subbed pullups and ring dips at triple reps.

“Nasty Girls”
50 Squats
21 Pullups
21 Ring Dips
10 Power Cleans (Rx: M135, W95)

3 rounds for time

We forgot the camera today so no pictures. As for the video, well, watching any of this footage would require dramamine so I’m not going to put it up. This week some people noticed that I often don’t look at the screen on the camera when I shoot a still picture. That sometimes works with pictures but I’ve discovered that it never works with video (I’m a slow learner). I’ll have to work on paying attention to filming next time. In the meantime, check out the original “Nasty Girls”:
Quicktime, Windows Media.

Name Time Level/HPC Weight/Modifications
Kim 18:39 Level 1 / 55lbs / blue band dips, green band pullups
T 22:12 Level 2 / 55lbs /purple dips, blue pullups
Chris 24:30 Level 2 / 115lbs /blue pullups
Jim 31:49 Level 2 / 95lbs /red dips
Wil 29:24 Level 2 / 95lbs
Jason ??? ? / 55lbs / red dips
