From the CrossFit Brand X forums, some advice for today's workout:
Today everyone is a Big Dawg. Here is a vid that shows the difference between the press, push press, and push jerk.

If you are unfamiliar with the push jerk start slow and light work on your technique.
I was really hurting during the pictured WOD....
Good evening from balmy NorCal.
I didn't do the pull-up WOD but will make it and the push jerk WOD up on Thursday when I'm back.
Drove over to CrossfitOneWorld this afternoon and did their WOD.
Complete the following:
Run 1600m for time
Rest exactly five minutes
Run 800m for time
Rest exactly four minutes
Run 400m for time
Rest exactly three minutes
Run 200m
Splits were - 6:37, 3:05, 1:24, :37. Total - 11:43
It's nice to run on an empty street - no cars, no scaffolding, no guys on Broadway selling coats.
On a separate note, I was chatting with one of the guys at OneWorld and he said that often checks out the great links compiled daily on CrossFitNYC.com. Kudos to Allison for developing a strong fan base outside of the five boroughs!

I'm having a little trouble getting the invites sent out on Facebook right now.
If we get a reservation for 30 people, I can book a semi-private room.

Tony T, that workout sounds brutal if done right. Thanks for letting me know that we've got some West Coast readers out there!
Oh hell. I am going to the Yankee game that night. Maybe I'll try to meet up afterwards for cocktails.
Jeff! I'm in for the half king!
Jeff-In for HK
Dan Def - Why bother going to the game? The Yanks are gonna lose anyway...

These are a little less scary now thanks to some good coaching from Allison!
Tony-- spoken like a true San Francisco Giants fan. We Yankee fans keep the faith.
Would anybody be interested in a post-Half King karaoke session? Levi, I know you have a song or two sing.

I'm in for the rest day dinner Friday.
My problem with today's WOD was getting under the bar. They were more like a push press with a tiny dip under the bar.

I nailed my head coming down from the 85 attempt and was a little gun-shy after that. I had thoroughly convinced myself that 75 would also end in disaster before I even began. Oh well, there's always next time!
