10 Rounds for Time:

*These burpees are courtesy of Mark Friedman and his inability to make it to the gym.
Dead lift shots from the Challenge. You can see more in the pics/vids section.
We all need to thank him when we see him next time. This rule will be in effect for the remainder of the week.
Sorry I’m going to miss this one. Acupuncture on my back sometime today, hopefully I’ll be back in a couple of days.
My back hurts from the challenge too. Thankfully I am a chiropractor and get adjusted frequently. HINT to everyone. Also my office has decompression to help get pressure of my discs which are banged up. So anyone who needs massage, adjustments, or decompression, give me a call. There is however one Xfit owner still to lazy to get her massage??? Kyle. Great job with the roof top pics. There awesome!!
What Mark misses in WODs, he will make up in savage beatings.
Wow that was hard..I had to lower the weight twice.. I started at 122 (my bar weighs 12) and then had to lower it to 102. It was insane. Here are the round times. I only took a short break between each one. Enough time to take a sip then check off a round.

2:59
4:42
6:34 (reduced weight to 102)

P.S. The new site is SICK!!!!!
WHO THE HELL IS MARK!?!?!?!? I AM GOING TO BEAT HIME SILLY!!!!
Mark,
I want to thank you for the burpees. I hate them with a passion, but what I hate the most gives me the best results. The reason I go to Crossfit is due to the challenging work outs. We hate burpess because they are hard, but the way I look at them is that the harder the routine the better results I personally get. This is why I come and why I thank you for not coming to the gym. LMAO!
Hey Kyle, are there plans to have a sign-in process for the comments? I see little boxes on the right of each comment, for avatars maybe?
To all: Accupuncture is the bomb.
who is mark friedman? please post picture so that everyone can openly hate on him… oh wait I am on vacation but I am modifying the wods for the crappy gym here so thanks… MARK! crossfit tomorrow I hope… grandma permitting
Kyle, you might want to change Fri hours on this site. On Fridays, 6pm is the last class… The new site looks great by the way! The photography is awesome!
Mark is hiding out somewhere eating a BK stacker and he better get back here soon so we can get him fit
Rumor has it that he drugged some poor girl on a cruise and convinced her to marry him.
Getting some traction in a couple. Doc if u were closer I’d be at ur place, and yes I agree with chiropratic mant. for sure.
@MikeB: There are plans for signups and profiles, but we are banging out the initial bugs first.
@Heather/Kristi/All: This is Mark Friedman a few pounds lighter and a few years younger: http://www.DocumentedRadiation.com/images/Friedman.jpg

Tomorrow Wod will start off with – anyone? anyone? Yeah thats right – Burpees compliments of Friedman.
We are due for a Social Gathering. The group has grown over 60 so it could turn into a large gathering. Ryan hooked us up with a private room at Gatsbys however it was a little pricey. Maybe we can go out to watch the next MMA Fight.
Anyone have any ideas let me know. Heather works at a cigar bar which is cool but half the gym didnt want to smell the smoke.
Sorry Heather.
Let’s all just meet at scarletts. Jackie suggested it. Hold on she is hitting me for typing that. Ouch. Ok fine hooters for beer wings and a Xfit competition eating wings.
Hey Doc Darren, she is hitting you for typing that because she wanted to go to Tootsies instead. lol!
Excellent Blog.
