W.O.D.1.9.14

"300"

25 Pull Ups
50 Deadlifts (M:135/W:95)
50 Push Ups
50 Box Jumps (20"/24")
50 Floor Wipers (M:135/W:95)
50 DB Clean and Jerk (M:35/W:15)*
25 Pull Ups

This is the “300″ WOD from Gym Jones and the training sessions Mark Twight did with the actors who played as the Spartans in the movie, “300″. They used this WOD as a benchmark a couple times throughout the training process.

*These DB's are rather light, I would increase the weight a little for anyone who has been CrossFitting for more than 6 months to a year!

  11. Hey Travis, do you remember what I said about Phillip Rivers? I might have to take to it back.

  12. Mark Twight was orginally involved in CF before an ugly break-up. I do not know if I am 100% accurate with this so please do not quote me but I thought I remembered him writing somewhere that CF type workouts were not for everyone and that it was for the elite only. Again, I may be wrong.

    Great classes today, Welcome back to Lisa A! Solid work all around.

    Our first Postpartum class starts on Monday. We are running a 6 week program M-W-F at 9:30AM that focuses on Women's wellness. There will be FREE babysitting those days. If you know anyone who recently (or not so recently) had a baby, this is a great program. email me at crossfitkop@gmail.com for more info.

    Travis and Jason these remind me of Ruminations (an Aaron Karo) daily email I used to receive....ha!

    I'll try to give you both a few randoms:
    1. I got filet for dinner and I'm excited about it.
    2. Drank a green smoothie the last three days to get my veggies and fruits!
    3. I think Gavin will crawl in a month
    4. Cate and I did a crushing WOD today with 100 GHD sit ups and 50 back extensions and 150 back squats...that was kinda silly. I couldn't see straight for about 20 minutes after

    Community Note:
    We have put a piece of plywood in the Annex to block off the door to outside and upstairs, that has helped the extreme cold over there. We will be installing an actual door soon.

    Coaches:
    The router is fixed for the computer at the gym.

    3. Which is the best PJ song that you might not want to listen to on repeat all day because it's just that awesome?
    4. What country would you you pick for dual citizenship?

  24. I thought no way would be a good pick for Jason 's #2... he did play it every Thursday at the bar for years. That and the song that has "the best third line ever. " Can anyone name that tune?

    ReplyDelete
  25. Aimee You reminded me that I didn't take anything out for dinner, now I am sad

    I like Eddie vedder's solo stuff. I love the "into the wild" soundtrack. Also loved the movie and book.

    All this talk about PJ really makes me want peanut butter and jelly on toasted rye

  28. TOUGH questions...I love it. I am happy to say that my wife knows me better than the wife of one of my best friends...but she knows me too.

    1) Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns 10/18/2013. Not technically PJ but two members of the band were in MLB so it counts.

    2) Whipping 6/13/2007. Best performance of this song ever.

    3) No Way 8/25/2000. One of their best songs.

    4) Ireland

    Jackie. I know the answer!

    1) This bed is on fire with passionate love
    2) The neighbors complain from the noises above
    3)

    LOL
