I kind of like those. You can stay low. That’s a lot of work though. It would be hard to get to the overhead squats.

and yes, women almost always have lesser calories on row and bike



It doesn't look like they do that for open workouts. The place I go to doesn't differentiate the calories for M and W, is why I asked.

Did a set of 3 at 235. Felt good, so no complaints. Up from there for sure

That would scare me. I still can't believe they don't let me load the bar with 5s when we do burpee over bar.

Today’s workout sucked.

I was stuck on the assault bike for the 3 rounds because we were out of rowers.

Going from wallballs into cals on the assault bike sucks.

Ouch.

On the other hand, I enjoyed it. I had to share my rower since we didn't have enough rowers. I did it in 9:17, with having to wait on my rower at times.

I used a 14lb ball, I probably can move up to 20 on a WOD like that. The last round of wall balls was hard but I wasn't tempted to stop or slow down so I think I could've done 20lb. The 20cal rows gassed me, and I'm just starting to get the hang of kipping so my grip strength was finished by the end. 2 reps, drop, 2 reps, drop, etc

oooo i like that. Rowing and OHS are strengths of mine. I do hate burpees, tho. Seems like a fun workout to try regardless.







Kinda off topic, but do any of you guys take anything for energy? I do take amino energy or a pre workout. But for around the last week or so my energy is shot. I really don't know what the hell is going on. Causing some migraines as well.

My first round was 2:30 but the assault bike sucked in rounds 2 and 3.

The Force PWO on the shelf at Geaux is designed for CrossFit. While it does have some caffeine, it isn’t loaded with it like a traditional PWO.

I may be old in age, but I still look young. #liftordie

It was funny (not for my wife) when a new employee at my wife’s business asked the others if she robbed the cradle, and was surprised when they told her I’m 5 years older.

I'm having some knee aches and feeling beat up from saturday + monday WODs, and only slept about 3 hours last night so I'm taking today off. Looking forward to the lighter, stretching/romwod recovery day Thursday.
