The 80/20 principle
Do you let someone tell you you can't have your dream?
If you're here, you probably already know this, but: Ditch the crunches
A quick fix for the shoulder press
Don't be afraid to speak up. Your coach is not a mind reader.

Did this workout from home before work this morning. 19:37.
I accidentally scaled down because I misremembered the number of reps and did 30 instead of 50.
However, I must say that I was impressed with my own creativity. I used a park bench with a fence behind it to make my own GHD-like contraption for the back extentions. It was easily as effective as using the cubbies and the bench at the box, but less extension than possible with a GHD. Did the situps from the ground.
16:37 Rx'D in BK
Back Extensions -- sit ups on an abmat.
Will do all GHD next time! But not today with my quads the way they are
GOOD LUCK JACINTO AND ZACH!
Show 'em that photo of Jacinto and the competition will run away screaming! ;)
BIG shout out to Jacinto and Zach for tomorrow! Good luck and have a great time too.
Good luck you two!!!
Did "twins" at my gym this morning:
75# thrusters, hspu to one abmat, pullups were tuck, not L
29:51
Coming in for the lunchtime class as well... Will be my first time doing 800s outside and not on a treadmill so a little nervous .....
Good Luck Jacinto and Zach (Zachariah)!!!!!! You're both going to kill it!!!!
I feel like Method Man and Juan is Joe Budden. You don't gotta say my name, you don't gotta put me on blast on the message board... I'm a peaceful man, I don't even battle. But now we got to bring it like that?
Come to the morning class - you'll see me, I ain't hiding. Pick a WOD, and I'll show you who still Crossfits, son!
Good luck guys!
GL Zach and Jacinto!
Kick some ass!
... also good luck to Josh in all his alcohol-related WODs!
OT, way to keep it gully!
OT & Juan
This needs to be settled by contests of drunken boardwalk sprinting and news box jumping.
Good luck Jacinto and Zach!
good luck zach and Jacinto.
Good luck to Rob Egan as well, (former black boxer).
...Hey Methical, all I'm saying is if this cat even goes to the box anymore. I never see a post from th O.T. and with all this talk about bbxrs jumping ship. Its hard not to worry.
I'll race you to 50 burpees though. (hoy es dia tres)
Joe Budden is from jersey, ain't he? egh.
Work Hard Jacinto and Zach! Make us proud.
C'mon, Papa! Show them that "old" is just a state of mind - and it ain't you!
What's with all the running WODs...?
Big Posse this morning and nice CFE warm-up and skill drills with Brian before he kicked our asses.
As Rx'd (abmat for both back extensions and sit-ups):
23:21
Faster than last time, but not by much.
Rough end to a rough week.
I also did three glorious burpees.
Good luck guys!!
I was supposed to go spectate, but I was convinced to go to Vegas last minute with some Army buddies that are shipping out to Afghanistan soon. A sacrifice I guess I'll have to make.
Good luck Zach and Jacinto!
I'm leaving tomorrow for a cruise and would like to do some workouts if possible! Torch sent me over some ideas, if anyone has any good vacation WODs let me know!
Best of luck guys. 20:58 as rx'd
Thanks Juan!
Kelly,
Check out this forum post over at HQ for some Eva T. bodyweight workouts. There should be more than a few that you can do on a ship or beach

Is there an early class (5/5:30) today in light of the holiday? Plus is the gym open Monday?
There's no early class today (just because it's a Friday) but Monday's class times were listed a while back as 11am, 12:30pm, 6pm, and 7pm.
Thanks
Kill it Zach and Jacinto. You too Robzilla
MikeT, the first class tonight is 6pm because it's a Friday.
On Monday, there will be only 2 classes: 11am and 12:30pm.

Side Question...
I finally caved and am going to try the fish oil thing. Picked up a honkin big bottle of Kirkland Fish Oil tabs from Costco…
So, the bottle recommends 1 tab three times a day. I’m not normally in the habit of taking recommendations from inanimate objects....So:
What does everyone else recommend/ find works for them?
Is there a 5:30 class tonight ?
Good luck Jacinto & Zach!!
29:55 rx'd - used the GHD for the situps also.
(28,23)
3 burpees too
26:20 Subbed 45lb good mornings for the back-extensions, but upgraded the last set of sit-ups to glute ham situps. Is that even the right term for it "upgraded"? Maybe we should say "supersized" or something...but I digress...
Is the box going to be open Monday(memorial day)?
ON MONDAY, MEMORIAL DAY, THERE WILL BE 2 CLASSES, 11AM AND 12:30PM. TORCH IS COVERING.
30:51
subbed good mornings with 35lb. kettlebell
I don't know how some of you manage to do this one with GHD situps.

@ albany, longest drive ever. I hate west side uptown traffic.
Got here hours ago, just got back form dinner. So there are like 240 competitors out here, tomorrow is going to be insane.
Got to say hi and wish luck to some cool people today.
Brian G. from Gotham is looking strong and way lean, since last time I saw him.
Zach Singer, is up here and pretty psyched.
Crossfit Harlem is rolling deep.
Got to see Melissa Byers in person.
Saw Jocylen Secondi and Lauren Plumey from CT.
Still on the lookout for my fav Heather Keenan
Saw Jacinto, we went to dinner and he had a huge steak and is ready to go.(we also had a sambuca for good luck)
Met a couple of strangers that don't even have affiliates
that look super strong.
Anyway there is a ton of people out here. Its quite the experience to see all this Crossfit, all in just one place. You can definitely feel the insyncness of community and competition here at the qualifiers, it's so cool.
good luck to everybody.
and where is Robzilla!?!?
ghd michael
34:03

A.B,
