Kickin' it with the fam-dam-ily, for time!!! Freakin' great weekend, yo. We marinated by the pool for most of the time. I did get 200 push ups in on Saturday and 5 rounds of 5 reps 315lb deadlift & 10 Pull Ups then 5 rounds of 5 reps 135lb OHS & 10 Pull Ups followed by 5 rounds of 5 reps 135lb Thruster & 10 Pull Ups. Between each round I did 50 double unders. The globo-gymers at "Powerhouse" gym in Joplin didn't know what had hit them. It's easy to take forgranted the quality and quantity of work that we get done day in and day out at the CFS box. All I can think while I'm crossfitting at these feux-fitness places is "Good-LORD, aren't you bored out of your mind? It's been like 10 minutes since you've done your last set of anything?!" But, of course, when I roll in doing front squats and push presses, deadlifts and overhead squats, and 150 pull ups... people stare at me with this look on their face that says, "What?...Why are you workin' out like that?!" Really??? "Why aren't YOU working out like THIS, MUTHA TRUCKA?! I Pity da Foo stuck on the preachers curl lifting 25% of his body weight. I Pity da Foo seat-belted into the horizontal adduction pec dec machine squeezin' his own creatine filled boobies in between sets of 12. I Pity da Foo shoulda pressin' 545lb throughout a 4-inch range of motion on the smith machine. I Pity da Foo who be "run-walkin" for like 3 1/2 hours on the treadmill with the speed set on 3.0 while he texts his girlfriend to put the pizza in the oven. It's like my boy Henry said...Henry FORD: "If I'd asked my customers what they wanted, they'd have said a faster horse." Rumor has it, he went on to say that someday globogymers will be replaced by hardcore, freakishly strong, crossfitters just like muscle cars replaced pretty ponies in the 20th century.
~Cochise OUT!!!
By the way, my WOD today was 15 Bench Press @ BW (205) alternated with 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 air squats.
I love God. I love my family. I love life. I love my friends. I love people (even stupid ones). I love CrossFit. I love enhancing athletic performance. I love lamp.

CrossFit Springfield is so much more than a place for elite athletes to become stronger, faster, more powerful, more flexible, more athletic, more agile, and more mentally tough. It's more than a place to gain greater work capacity over broad time and modal domains, and to set PRs and take off your shirt and roll around on the ground gasping for oxygen in a pile of sweat and possibly vomit.
CrossFit Springfield also happens to be a safe place where untrained or deconditioned athletes participate to test and better their strength, their endurance, and their will to become better people and better athletes. Fortunately for them, they receive daily instruction and coaching by the most caring, straight forward, knowledgeable, and motivating strength and conditioning coaching team in SouthWest Missouri.
There are two types of pain in life. The pain of discipline and the pain of regret. Any CrossFitter will tell you "It won't be easy" This is because it shouldn't be easy. You will earn your fitness. And your life will thank you for it.
100 BW Bench presses That's impressive, and you don't even work bench that often.
