Hump My Face Day

First I'd like to welcome our readers from Sudan, Palestinian Territories, Colombia, and any other third worldish countries that aren't showing up in the blog stats. Hopefully you can take these workouts and get jacked central and fight the man that's holding you back. I don't know how you people find this site - the fact that the most viewed post is titled "Tramp Stamp Special" may have something to do with it. Kind of hoping this post can throw up some competition page-view-wise.

CFSD Competition Team WOD:
3 rounds
10 power snatch 95#
15 pullups
20 thrusters 75#
5 burpee penalty upon completion of WOD for any time the bar is dropped or you drop from the bar

10:16 - Best time of the day was a little over 7:00, but some other guy got high 9:00 so I don't feel so bad. I feel like breaking up the snatches and thrusters in the last two sets would have been significantly easier (and faster maybe), even with a 20 burpee penalty afterwards. But alas, the spirit of the WOD was to go unbroken, basically came down to how much rest you thought you needed to do the next set unbroken. Turns out I needed a f load. Physically and mentally ass kicking. Also the pullups were the easiest part fo sho. Makes me realize I'm a puss for doing like 10 pullups at a time in most metcons. Also I've been rubbing the dead skin off my hands with one of those callus rock stone things every day in the shower. I think if I hadn't done that I would have torn some serious skin today, so yeah, gonna keep that up fo sho.

Rested 40 mins then did the 2008 Games WOD MB and Kleiner went through this week:

5 rounds
5 deadlifts 275#
10 burpees

3:46 - All out sprint, did the first (and maybe second) set of deads unbroken. Rounds 3-5 were like 3-1-1 or something. I roped 6' 4" GI Joe ex Marine into doing the WOD with me. Definitely helped me push harder because I was chasing him the entire time after basically the 4th deadlift rep. He did all the deads unbroken like he was lifting pillows. I made up some time on the burpees but he ended up beating me by 5 or 6 seconds I think. Overall a good time, definitely would have been slower if I tried this alone. Maaaaybe could have cut 3-4 seconds off my time if I didn't stare at the bar so long between burpees and deadlifts but overally pretty happy with the time.

Saw this mentioned on some other site today. No clue WTF it is. Don't worry, its safe for work, unless you live in Palestine. Or Iran. I think they have some crap on the Facebook but I'm abstaining for the week so couldn't tell you what's going on up in there.

Also read this and discuss.

Also this is one of the referral URLs to this site. The f?
