Quote:
"It is of interest to note that throughout history, the rise and fall of nations has seemed to coincide with the rise and fall of the physical stamina of their people. Greece rose to the height of her glory (leaving her indelible mark upon the world) during that period when the physical vigor, the patriotic zeal, the independence and freedom of her people were at their height. Athletic professionalism for the few and a lack of strenuous participation among the many brought about a decline in the national physical stamina and a consequent decline in the power of Greece. The same may be said of great Roman Empire and of Egypt. History indicates, too, that a decadent nation realizes the costly blunder it has made only after defeat at the hands of a physically superior enemy. A period of reorganization follows and attempts are made to imbue the nation with the need of physical improvement."-"Gymnastics and Tumbling," Aviation Training Division, Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, U.S. Navy, 1944.

  9. nice job dave. it took me way more than a month to get to a 135 pound hang power clean. good work.

  10. jas-your pr on the board is still 135 for HPC, so Dave was pretty pumped.

    other standouts for the 12:00PM class, Ray with a solid 195 PR, Kelly first attempt at Power Cleans at 75 x1, Lisa with 130 x1...next time all three Lisa!

  11. yeah i know. i think 135 is a huge number. i think i can MAYBE get 155 from a hang and i think my HPC is only 175 or something. ray's number is HUGELY impressive as well. way to throw the weight around guys!

  12. more warm ups like the 5:15 class today!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Mike-so you can leave more welts on my body...stop reminiscing of your water polo days!!!

    Kit-way to take that 70# KB for the team!

    ReplyDelete
  14. Someone had get Sam to stop complaining about not having enough 55 #KBs.

    It was light weight anyway.

    Mike, I agree. Run the bases (aka Pickle) was a good warmup. Next time we'll all just throw at Aimee and have her run around the gym.

  15. variety is the spice of life. a warm-up should loosen the joints and combine a few of the following:

    push
    pull
    opening of the hip
    closing of the hip
    monostructural activity

    a burpee combines a opening and closing of the hip and a push and the running was monostructural.

    so, the warm-up, albeit childish got everyone loose and sweaty so it accomplished its goal in a non conformist manner.

  16. Hey Jason~ I wish I could have used 80 the entire WOD, but I dropped to 75....

    And yes, the warm up yesterday was so much, we should definitely play more games!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Did I miss a ball throwing exercise warm up at the box yesterday? i think it was better for the clock if i missed it :)....see you all on Saturday and possibly Friday if the graduation i am set to attend gets moved inside!

  18. miranda:

    i dropped you to 70 for the WOD. for the number of reps that you were doing, i think it was the right decision.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Curin-the penalty for hitting the clock now is 1,000 burpees....hummmm

    ReplyDelete
  20. Jason,
    Ok, cool didn't realize that. Thanks for helping me last night.
    Next time I will do 75! I have to get stronger some how....

    ReplyDelete
  21. if 1,000 burpees is the punishment for hitting the clock you can bet that i will NEVER do that again! i hate 1 burpee let alone 1,000 of them suckers!
