    WODoers:

    135x5,185x5,225x5,265x5,285x5,295x1

    Not sure I rested enough in between. I think my numbers have gone down from a year ago, but I think my range of motion is now truly as Rx'd.

    Five is a lot of heavy squats.

    Hey fellas, drank a lot of beer on my leave. Plated w/ the new bumper plates etc a little.

    135-175-225-245-255-275

    Followed this w/ DLs 7x1 from a bit ago, didn't feel like getting that heavy today.
    205-225-245-265-305-325-345

    Did Michael yesterday as well, usual Supermans and sit-ups, 20:35, kept treadmill at 8 mph and didn't lose breath throughout, could have gone a little faster on the running.

    Warmup 135x5

    205x5,215x5,225x5(pr),235x5(pr),240x5(pr)

    Cooldown 135x5

    Just a little side note, I started my 7 and 9 year old on the CrossFit for Kids workouts. They think it's a blast. I've got to keep them active now that winter is coming.

    Later guys.

    Nice, teach them young Chris. Little CrossFit Soldiers just like that 5 year old Romanian kid.

    Just sick!

    Did this one after Annie and some good stretching. Also ran into a guy who knew about Crossfit at the gym tonight. He doesn't participate, but he does a similar routine. Anyway, talking with him forced me to get sufficient rest between sets which I think helped.

    225, 265, 295, 315, 335

    3, 4, and 5 at 335 were a struggle. But, I made it. Later fellas.

    Mike, you back squatted 335 FIVE times? You are a bad bad man. My 1RM max is 305. Can I whine that it's harder to do a big back squat when you're 6'4"? No... I don't think so. Fact is, I'm just not as strong as I need to be. I am ashamed to even announce a PR since you and Justin beat me so bad, and Morey beat me too, but not quite as bad.

    25 air squats, then 135x5

    205x5-225x5-235x5-250x5(PR)-260x5(PR)

    I had more gas in the tank, could do more I know, but I am mister Mom today for the third day in a row. Hard to get in a WOD with a toddler and a 12 month old needing you at all times. Cool though, previous PR was 235 so I spanked that at least.

    Looking forward to Annie, will be second time doing DU's. Last time I did it RX'd and it took forever but how else is a guy to learn DU's.

    (and I rested maybe 2-3 minutes between sets. Mike, what did the guy at the gym suggest, how long?)
