A: low score of 18. Went out too hard. Rounds were 33, 30, 18, 18, 18.
B: 5:51 Rx. Able to kip toes to bar the first 21 and part of the set of 15. After that I lost my kip.

Fun workout Michael.

Shocked I could do unbroken wall balls after yesterday’s jump squats. Couch stretch last night & this morning FTW!

  Between the pistols and the jump squats yesterday my glutes feel like someone took an ice pick to them this morning. Fun.

    …yeah did some pvc good mornings before class…reminded me where the name came from…yikes!
  - Albert Insogna
    
    Screw yesterday- my glutes are still sore from Mary on Saturday. Yeah I should probably do more pistols.
    - Jim S
      
      Update: My ass still hurts. Pistols FTW.

Will there be any substitution avaialble for the running tomorrow for those of us who aren’t comfortable running in 90+ temps?
- reisbaron
  
  I wasn’t aware that comfort was the goal of this, or any WOD. Definitely don’t travel to Miami and do Crossfit, where several boxes have an indoor temp of over 100 on a daily basis.
  
  That said, maybe the coaches won’t mind if you sub light dancing or tabata toe touches for the run…

    He could also try Zumba.
  - disqus_idUcx3WVUa
    
    Wow, that escalated quickly. Thanks for the encouragement to those of
    use who aren’t yet in great shape and are trying to do the WODs as best
    we can until we get to the level you are obviously at. It’s good to know
    that any sort of scaling is frowned upon and nobody should ever say
    “that’s physically more than I can handle.”
    
    A simply “no” would have been sufficient, but the public shaming makes me so much happier to share a gym with you.
    - reisbaron
      
      Just keeping it real, as I’m one of the slowest, heaviest people in the gym, who despises running and high heat more than anyone (including you I promise).
      
      If I can do the run, you can do the run. But if needed scale it by walking when you have to. That’s a lot more constructive to your development than avoiding the exercise altogether.

        disqus_idUcx3WVUa, I served with Reis Baron. I knew Reis Baron. Reis Baron was a running partner of mine. disqus_idUcx3WVUa , you’re no Reis Baron.
        
        ….chances are, you may be faster
        Either way, we will always cheer you on.
    - Nick Walters
      
      I really like the Anchorman reference. Well played.
      Yeah, there’s really no way to scale running. Just do it. Unless you are injured, just fight through it. Grin and bear it. Oh, and have fun doing it
      - AndyK
        
        What is this “fun running” you talk about Nick? In all my years I have never run anywhere and said “Wow, that was fun”
- Jason Lapadula
  
  100 burpees seems sufficient
  - Phoenix
    
    Are we really allowed to sub burpees? Or is this sarcasm?
    Frankly I am a little upset that somebody’s very valid concern about running in near 100 degree heat is being fluffed off with a “man up” or “try zumba classes”. Running in this heat is dangerous and it is very easy to become ill.
    There are warnings from NYS telling us to avoid strenuous activity outside. We also are under an air quality warning, which means anybody with asthma is like to have difficulty breathing in the thick soup we have for an atmosphere today. These issues are not a matter of “manning up”, and I would like if they were given the attention they deserve.
    - Jason Lapadula
      
      I was being serious, but I would ask your coach. The time it takes for 100 burpees and the time it takes for a mile run is pretty similar for a fit person (5-6 mins). I think the burpees would suck more, but I believe the sub should be harder in order to keep people honest.
      - Phoenix
        
        Awesome. I’ve no problem with subs being harder, so long as an option is provided for those who cannot tolerate the heat/crap air quality.
        I hate burpees with the fire of a million suns, but I will happily do them safely indoors before I will run outside in this heat.

A: Only got 4 rounds (total reps of completed rounds – 84, 45, 63, 45

B: 5:25 with 25lb ball, no-rep’d myself a number of times on toes to bar

Result of todays workout – 1 torn off callous!
P.S. Tomorrow’s WOD looks terrible
Anthony

A=Five rounds of 30 RX

B=7:58 RX-pretty slow on the T2B-but 2 months ago I couldn’t do one—so, moving in the right direction…
Nicki Osborn

A: Did 2 rounds Rx in the allotted time to the tune of 63 + 45
B: 6:30 6# ball…T2B were SLOW as grip was rather shot after all those pull ups.

I’m now the proud owner of the (apparently) only XS t-shirt that was in stock! They are awesome, can hoodies be next?
Albert Insogna

A: 3 sets- 100/43/57
B: 3:54
