Quote:
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing."

--Muhammad Ali

Posted this to the Facebook group, but also posting here. I am creating a new and improved donkeyPod for the box. now taking your requests for songs or bands you'd like to hear more during WODs.

there are already some tasty treats on there :) but there's lots more room.

Mike P said...

. . . . looking like some Good Livin' this morning.

. . . . that sucked . . . in a beautiful and glorious way.

Charles said...

What's the best way to scale the deadlift? 50% of 1RM?

Nikki said...

Charles - if you're really proficient at the other movements (running and toes to bar) I'd say you could go a little higher... maybe up to 60% of your 1RM. But if you know running and T2B take you a while, I think 50% would be appropriate.

Jason Lyons said...

I am officially going to make a picture board. So get ready. I have no idea who Mike P is but I like his attitude and he posts a lot so he is cool...unlike jorts!

Meighan said...

Jason, you've never seen him because he runs so fast that you miss him!

Charles I also made sure to use a weight I could string 10 reps to keep an intensity going

Danny said...

Holy Shirts and Pants. It's a little corny and obvious, but what do you get out of being subtle, right?

big shoutout to JP who had tremendous effort to simulate knees to elbows with his knee raises and excellent form on the sumo deadlift high lifts, I mean, high pulls, I mean, sumo deadlifts

donkey said...

P: glad you had me in there for DC and not Rx. i definitely did not get KTE for most of those.

very challenging WOD today. kudos to everyone who chased it.

Laura Pappas said...

Wow this was a tough one, thanks to Killa for letting me borrow a pair of long socks - gotta keep my shins pretty for the Plentus/Ditty wedding this weekend!

jl said...
