It's Fun When It's Fun, Too
The video pretty much sums it up: CrossFit Oakland is a fun place to train with a great community. We thought we'd give you a little taste of what goes on during those late afternoons when nearly everyone's gone home or back to work.
And kudos to Shira for being such a great sport (she actually did get double muscle-ups but we didn't get it on camera).
Post to Comments your funniest CrossFit experience(s).

I have so many it's hard to keep track of them. I guess the most recent one was ripping my pants while demonstrating an air clean on move-in night (into our new box).

Mike - oh yes, the classic pants-ripping incident. I was there for that - too funny. That's what you get for showing off. :-P
My funniest CFO moment? Probably trying to do the workouts in Uggs when I first started - I had no idea what I was getting myself into.
but....now....I....know. :-)

just invented my own workout. it was good. you might up the number of pullups and dips. it was 3 rounds for time of:
40 KB swings w/ 1.5P
10 L-pullups
10 ring dips.
or, this might be a good 21-15-9 workout, although 21 l-pu's would be killer.
my metcon is down right now. i got 15:48.
it's good to see some humor on the posted video.

Got a great zone snack. One serving of Trader Joe's "Blueberries go nuts over candied Pecans" trex mix & one piece of string cheese = 2 blocks fat, 1 block carbs, 1+ block protein.
Also, there are 2 new trader joe's locations opening up soon. One at the old Albertson's on college in rockridge, and another at the old Albertson's on Lakeshore by the grand lake theater.

Just for the record i think that the main reason that Shira did not get the 140lb over head squat was because she strated laughing as soon as she picked it up. That was not a real test. A few minutes befor that she did get a very nice 135Lb OHS.
