Thanks a lot Jacinto and Ari for the encouragement and spotting.
It would appear that one of the WOD's for the games is 30 inverted muscle-ups for time. Any chance that chin-up contraption will be assembled at the Manhattan Box for open gym tonight? I'd like to take a crack at a few of these, along with uneven Grace that I missed yesterday.
Nice job on the PR Ewen. I'm looking forward to this Total. I haven't done one since Christmas.
For random amusement I looked up "burpee" in Wikipedia.
Funny stuff.
"A race to 100 burpees is occasionally used to settle disputes between inmates in high security prisons.
One prisoner in Pelican Bay has been known to perform 1000 burpees in an hour."
Looks like all that stuff Josh told us about "Jailhouse burpees" was true!
A classic article on burpees and prison.

I bet that Pelican Bay guy got to rape whoever he wanted.
That should be a wod some day.
AMRAP Burpees, one hour.
If any wod is going to induce pukie it's that one.
Personally I think 500 would be a par score.
Squat: 250
Shoulder Press: 115
Deadlift: 275 (but with bad form. Demerits!)
TOTAL = 640
Things that I learned from this WOD: my form sucks and needs work...
By the end I was getting better and keeping my back and shoulders more stable.
BTW, does anyone know when a good time is to check out the Brooklyn location?
The Brooklyn Box is usually open from 6pm onwards on all weekdays and 1pm Saturdays and Sundays. So yeah, feel free to come down.
Did the pullup bar get installed?
Not as of this morning. Lunch crew?
Pullup cage not installed as of 3pm.
First time doing the total:
Back Squat: 205
Press: 125
Deadlift: 275 (normal grip)
Total: 605
Nice work on the total everyone! Great work Ewen.
Thanks Brett and Kevin.
Off-topic: It appears that our CFNYC wiki page has been hacked. Only the sidebar and Main. pages are gone, thankfully. Does anyone have a backup to restore it to its previous state?
PS: a mild lol at Michelle for updating her page on June 8th without noticing the havoc wreaked on June 3rd. ;-)
PPS: since I'm leaving for 10 days tomorrow, I won't be able to make it to Smallville's going-away party or Marisela's 8th anniversary of her 21st birthday. Best wishes to both.
Fixed Ewen.
If you goto the list of "All Recent Changes" and then goto any of the "Vandalized" pages you can restore the pages to a previous version, which is what I did to fix them.
Ach so! Another layer of my n00bness is thus shed.
Thanks for taking care of it Sam.
ok ewen-for the record -I DID notice that the entire site "was not working"-but I assumed that it was just my computer! i kept saying-why can't i get this to work? where are all the pictures of the people?
frankly I am not sure I should have even admitted any of this
what can i say-i am nearly 39 with a degree in comparative religion and law. what do i know from whether its my computer or a real problem. my freshman year in college I came with an electric typwriter! but hell i was going to get my updated scores in! woot!
WOD two: did Grace scaled to 95 pounds in 2:47.
Chin up bar is installed, but not anchored.
Also, managed to get my first muscle-up tonight. Thanks Hari for taking the time to coach me through it!
Allison, do I still qualify for a cupcake, or has the deadline passed?
squat 315, PR is 330
press 165, PR is 175
deadlift 405, PR is 415
Total 885, PR is 910
634 (225, 124, 285) BW = 148
Congratulations, Dan R!
wow everyone is joining the muscle up club. congrats! my invitation was lost in the mail. i better get my butt in gear!
as for wod tomorrow-which looks just plain awful-will we have the pull up bar ready to roll?
Michelle,
Yes, the pull-up bar is waiting for you.
jeff-are the rings fried?
if so i would love a pair.
