Thank you so much for everyone's sweet birthday wishes yesterday, most especially those of you who specifically thanked me for what the blog gives you every day (both people I know well in person and people I've never met and may never meet). As much as I love coaching and teaching people, posting to this blog is still one of the major highlights of my day. I was lucky to inherit this blog from Keith, who did a great job of building our content and an audience to go along with it. We usually get 1500 hits a day from people all over the world. I just do my best to provide useful and interesting content for our readership and look forward to seeing it grow. So keep on reading, commenting, and sharing this site with friends who are interested in health, nutrition, fitness, and/or crossfit. Thank you.

Ladies and gents...the BA-K-47, a.k.a. the gun made of bacon (thx, Luke)
Lots of fun was had at Friday's Rest Day Dinner at Radegast Hall and Biergarten:





speaking of bacon...I took the challenge and ate 3 Wendy's Baconators yesterday. I highly advise against this course of action.
Scaling/commentary on today's WOD from the CrossFit Brand X forums:

Full body touch at bottom, full extension at top(press down with your shoulders)
Sit ups:
Ab Mat if you have one, otherwise full range, shoulder blades and shoulders touch ground to sitting position
Squats:
Sink well below parallel full extension at top. Do not be satisfied giving up the lumbar curve in the bottom position or not fully extending the hips in the top.
Pack:
Same rules apply for form.
50-75 Pull ups
50-75 Push ups
50-75 Sit ups
50-75 Squats

This will be my first time doing Angie and I'm going to have to do it at my gym.... are we allowed to portion it in 10 rounds of 10 or is that just wishful thinking on my part?
Sara,
"Angie" (unlike "Murph") is not partitioned. Your only options are (1) scale back the number of reps per exercise; (2) takes breaks as needed (and needed, and needed); (3) get stronger using a steady progression of 1 and/or 2 combined with doing the WOD's.
I advise that when breaking up the sets (for those of us who can't do 100 pull-ups or pushups unbroken) that you work in small relatively even sets. You will get done faster and require less total recovery time, if you do, say, 20 sets of 5 pushups, instead of 15, 12, 8, . . . 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1.
With small muscle groups, once you go to exhaustion, subsequent performance is extremely compromised.
Thanks Hari! I think.... not looking forward to this one ;)
Just posting a hello note because I like to lurk on this blog. Always lots of good info here!
RX - 21:51.,
19:40
(68,54), (10,9)
32:42 (green/blue bands; pushup form).
24:23
Black Box (82,82)
32:22
+~19-20#
chin grip, vest to bar
hands and feet on 25# plates (~2.25"?), vest to floor
This was even slower than when I did this with 30# over a year ago.
Hari nice job!
50 reps, 11:22 (or something like that).
First Angie, first kipping pull-ups, first blood spilled on the bar.
Thanks for letting me off easy, Justin. I had plenty of juice left for a few laps around the Loop.
19:40 PR by 2min
I tied with the oldest member of our box. Seriously, thanks Hari for your help with partitioning today.
I know Brian isn't around this week, but any CFE classes scheduled for the upcoming week? thanks!
Did this at the gym in my apt since I couldn't make it to the box this morning.
First Angie, and faster than I expected to be. Especially since the guy running on the treadmill next to the pullup bar was wearning enough cologne to kill a small country and it was pretty distracting.
18:46 - and a bunch of crazy looks from everyone else in the gym.
(9,9)
13:08, 2nd day of 100 burpee challenge.
Modified Angie at home. Since no pull-up bar did 100 box dips instead.
24:20
17:27 as rx'd
29:01 Rx'd (first time doing it as rx'd)
Also ran 6 miles at a comfortable pace upstate this afternoon. (8:30 min/mile)

Happy Easter to any Orthodox Christians on here (not just Greeks)!

That is, Price, Product, Place and Promotion evidently you cognize the heavy attributes of the product, and the cost, but for place you should think around the type of people who are willing to pay over 4x price of competing product whereas the low-budget option may be sold where emphasis is on cost, your product will be suited to places/distributors where the clients will be willing to pay for high-performance.

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it'll do even better in those areas, but for now it's a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod's strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
I recently found out about a new cpa network called, Prosperent. It's kind of like Adsense but instead of text ads, it displays targeted products to your visitors. I think you should definitely check it out.
Great post!
Thank you for a great post
