todays cedar valley wod was heavy deadlifts at 5x5. we started off with an extensive agility based warm up. from there, we went to the oly-lifting room which is outfitted with great lifting platforms, bumper plates and bars. we started off with snatch deadlifts @ 5x5, then into the wod.
Do I have what it takes to compete? Will I get smoked, puke, or passout? Am I sick to run the risk of embarrassment? What makes a person keep coming back for more? Is it punishment or improvement? (!)
Love the pic...that was a Tabata day I'm pretty sure...I recall one James Watkins (former NFL safety) getting wrecked on pushups. WRECKED. The tall, goofy guy in the middle didn't do much better.
Merry Christmas to everyone at CFJax from all of your brothers and sisters from CrossFit Southside.
jb- that day was indeed a tabata day. i remember the intracies of the logistics involved that day! that seems so long ago...yet, feels like yesterday all at the same time.
thx for the well wishes. a very merry xmas to you and linz & to the entire CFSS family!
