Happy Birthday Real Athlete! From a Wannabe . . .
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOX
I haven’t checked the links for fear of what a “Pow” and “Shocker” Glove looks like…..
I have held the same attitude towards shockers as I do towards Crossfit when it comes to gloves…..gloves are for folks who don’t want their hands gnarly!
Happy Birthday JT!
Do you guys have any suggestions on a good shoe for lifting? I think that my Nike’s had a lot to do with my balance issues the last time I did OHS. I kept leaning forward. I have read a few blogs that say Chuck Taylors are good. Agree? Comments?
Happy Birthday JT!
Agreed!!!! If you don’t want to invest in a pair of Oly shoes like Do Wins, then go for the Chucks. I know Garrett and Brad really like theirs. Michael Hawe would agree too. Target has a less expensive version or go to Journey’s at the mall for the real deal.
Yes, I would get out of those shock shoes.
Finally….I got to work out. Got 135 for 3. It felt so easy so I went to 145 and could NOT jump it up. Still nursing the heel but I think it was more my” head”. Tried a few times then went to 240 but did not get it this time. I know I could sustain it overhead but just couldn’t jump it up.
I did the endurance WOD form today to on the C2. I will be rowing a lot in the near future. It was cool. Got in about 2300m at the end of all the intervals.
I HEART OHS!
Should say 140 not 240!
Target has Converse on sale through the 29th.
I would recommend buying two pairs and using one pair for lifting and the other pair for general CrossFit workouts.
In the meantime, put your Nikes in the closet.
Thanks Pebbles & Michael! I picked up a pair a little while ago at Rack Room.
Way to go No Name Dan. Your the fastest person I’ve seen to improve their OHS inside of 1 hour. Nice PR.
Ha! maybe it’s the shoes…or maybe you have a great coach! Well done! I want to add that Jpo rocked it out this morning with a PR of 80lbs. And Lauralyn did the same as Dan, started out with questionable form on the OHS but finished the hour with great form! Sammy busted out 185 for a 1 rep max and Tom moved to the big bar instead of the body bar. I truly love seeing people achieving their accomplishments!
I will have to say it was definitely the coach! Thanks for all of your help Pebbles!! The shoes just made me look good doing it!! Not that I didnt look good before the Chucks!! 🙂
Good luck to everyone that is participating at The Garage tomorrow!!! Go kick some @ss!!! I have faith that I will see a bunch of CFNF names on the leader board!!! Peace Out!!
Thanks everybody! i made it safely to Florida. Jenny’s excited to come to her first Crossfit workout next week. Any ideas on some WODs we can do here without weights or Medballs?
