Chris and Rich battle with "Lynne"

W.O.D. 10.29.09
"Lynne"
5 rounds for max reps. There is NO time component to this WOD. If you are not able to do your body weight on the Bench Press this will be scaled to your ability.

Bodyweight bench press (e.g., same amount on bar as you weigh)
Pullups

This is the first time CrossFit KoP has seen this lady rear her head. We now have 5 Bench Press stations and will be able to execute this WOD flawlessly. Spotters are a must when bench pressing.

Moral to the paleo-crossfit article:

"Strong people are harder to kill than weak people....and more useful in general".

Rippetoe


Gorilla chest beat.

Liz, what is Kelsey's last name? If she needs a ride home after weekday workouts, Kristin or I can help; on weekends we can drive both ways.

Kelsey, if you read this, Liz told us you go to Villanova, but could use a ride. K-Ditty (Kristin) and I live 2 blocks away in case you need a ride. This weekend we are away, but hopefully we can help with rides!

I'll be home sunday if anyone needs a ride from the Lower Merion area

OOH, and Ray- Lets just say you're hard to kill right now too. I think Ripptoe would approve.
