Previous Max Effort Results (10/10/09)
Just another manic Fun-day! Some days you just need to know what you can do if you go all out and see how many reps you can get or how fast you can go. Today you had to pick at least 4 from the list and go for it. All of you hit a PR and displayed some mad skills!
Use these as mini-benchmarks for setting goals and getting stronger. Use the row and run times for helping learn your pace for going hard and fast. Then pick a date and break the new PR’s you set today!

"Gwen"
For Load:
15-12-9 reps of
Clean and Jerk
Rules:
- Choose a weight
- Touch and Go only at the floor; no dumping
- No Re-grip allowed
- Rest only off the ground and as needed between sets
- Use same load each set to be RX’d
Results
A Couple of Jerks:
This is an old WOD from the main site that has made numerous appearances over the years. It is traditionally supposed to include squat cleans over power cleans, but like Grace and Isabel the several posts I found never clearly specify squat for power so for our purposes it’s any type of clean and push jerk or split jerk. Maybe next time this will be squat clean and jerks only.
I did this WOD once in my garage and not as RX’d as I adjusted the weight. My notes from this said “Massive Suck! Makes Grace seem easy. Fought like Hell each set to not give up.” Reading that strangely made me want to program it in. Then I started it today and reached ten reps and thought “Oh shit, why did I program this in?”
Special thanks to Jeremy D. for running the 7pm class tonight. We owe you!
Thursday is Funday! We will be choosing from several exercises and movements for a bunch of max efforts. Bring long socks too if you want to learn how to climb the rope.
Notes:
No 6am Class and note that Friday, Saturday and Monday we are closed! We are at the 2010 CrossFit Games!

Moe is on vacation in CA and has been dropping in at Mike’s Gym for Oly LIfting workouts. She also met up with Coach Burgener (CrossFit Olympic Lifting and USA Weightlifting Coach). Too cool!
"Dead Frogger"
7 Rounds for Time:
7 Deadlift (225#/135#)
80 ft. Broad Jumps
14 Ring Push-ups
Results
Froggers, Deadlifts and Kangaroos:
This fun WOD is courtesy of Jeremy, Kim and Mark from The Compound Crew aka Garage Gym Gone Wild!
Playing frogger is always a gasser for almost everyone except those of you who are natural kangaroos. Speaking of, if you missed the 7pm class then you missed Whitney (part of the lululemon Bellevue crew that dropped in tonight) displaying superhuman or kangaroo like jumping skills. Let’s just say she can cover 80 ft. in about the time it takes most to go 40 ft. After she let me make a fool of myself demonstrating broad jumps to the class she quickly displayed why she was a competitive broad jumper. See pic above. Covering 40ft. in 5 hops is pretty impressive when combining that with deadlifts and push-ups. I was able to quickly catch a short video of her mad hops (below).

Notes:
Max Effort day on Thursday! Choose from several movements and skills and go for broke to get a max number of reps, max height, or max time. We will also cover rope climbing basics so bring your long socks!

In honor of Army SFC Daniel Crabtree who was KIA in Al Kut, Iraq on Thursday, June 8th, 2006.
This WOD is a Hero WOD, dedicated to a fallen soldier, airman, marine, firefighter or law enforcement officer, and each of them CrossFitters that died in the line of duty. Every rep today was in honor of a soldier who died for our country. As painful as this workout is it’s nothing compared to the pain his loved ones must endure everyday. Honor our heroes by giving your best and remembering their sacrifice each and every rep. It’s the least we can do…
Notes:
Amanda earned her first callous tear tonight after 100 pull-ups!
