    1. Scaled the kettebells to tolerance. Otherwise – was a great workout. Nice way to start Monday :-)

    2. I would highly recommend to all the athetics competing that when given an opportunity to judge…do it. It will give you a different perspective

    3. 8:14 Rx thanks for the push, Steve!

    4. 8:37…….however I was leading after 1st round. I also ran 101 meters per so I am knocking 3 minutes off my time.

    5. 6:57 Rx. I love this short met cons. After the Speed Sets on the Bench Press.

    6. 9:00 Rx…got that 53lb KB! Woohoo!

    7. somehow.. we did side shuffling this morning instead of shuttle runs lol

      1000m of side shuffling!! IT WAS NOT EASY!!

    8. Glenn,
      That sound interesting Glenn. Difficult too.

      I guess a few were unclear on what a shuttle run is but sad to say I was out of town to explain more clear.

      Great idea though.

      I decided to make it more interesting/challenging. I did side shuttle 100m, karaoke 100m, butt kickers 100m etc.. Essentially rotated through our line drills. It was fun and very difficult.

      I’m going to try same workout with 100m prowler runs and/or tire pulls

    10. go for it bro. my 2 cents. just do the WOD and when you are top 3 on the board every night then start coming in and doing extras. But always modify if you have an injury.
      One thing I learned. I dont do 2 a days as much as I want to. I get in there 4 to 5 times a week and when I train I push myself to the point of seeing purple stars and pink diamonds. And when I come in and I cant push that hard I realize a rest day is needed.
      My times seem to be getting better.
      Good luck Crazy man. ha ha Youre a doing great.
      Always remember this. Every time you come in the gym you are causing tissue damage. Its you rest phase that you get more fit.

    12. Steve could you please explain for future reference how this was supposed to be done. Not only did we do SHUFFLE runs, I misunderstood completely and turned around at the 50m mark, meaning my right leg led the whole WOD = shin splint.

      I remember shuttle runs from a wod a couple months back, then we did prowler. I think we did 10m back and forth for time.
