OH, The Horror:(

Let me start off by saying WTF.  I did Jeremy Thiel's workout from the crossfit mainsite video or atleast I thought I was.  So instead of doing thrusters, I started doing clean and presses.  Either way, that shit put a hurtin on me like no other.  I did it outside in the 90 degree weather which has been a complete dust storm for the last two days which made it feel like a super inversion day X10 in the Salty.  I should have worn a mask or respirator.
Gasping for air thru each and every squat clean and press. I struggled to gut thru them and get them over with.  Burpees have never been a problem for me.  I've actually gotten faster at them for some reason.  I just changed my mechanics a bit and I've just been killing it.  I guess mechanics are everything.  After finishing, I just layed on the dust and sand covered concrete and made mud angels.  The time that Jeremy put up on that is ridonckulous.  I am gonna do it again next week and actually do thrusters to see if it will improve my time which I think it will.  I'm hoping by atleast 3-4 minutes.  These movements are so much harder when you don't got bumper plates.  Boo Hoo, I know I'm whining.  I got cheese to go with it.

  1. 10:14 seems pretty quick to me. That's a lot of weight to throw overhead fast.

  3. Rexapottamus,
    I miss you bro. Get your ass out to the flagpole/palapaville so we can crush some fools and some dirty sav's while were at it. Did you hear about us getting rolled up and gangfooing our way out. Grease ball rolled out in the querf with a saw, shorts, and tennies. With a silly helmet and hair all over the place. It was so funny even the Sav's were laughing at him.
