CrossFit Oakland

I call dibs on Brandon and a workout that involves handstand push-ups and muscle-ups.

Actually, outside of those, Brandon would destroy me, so who should I challenge? Lance? My strengths: the aforementioned HSPUs and MUs, rope climbs, plus maybe double-unders (at least relative to Lance :). Weaknesses: running, heavy thrusters or cleans, situps.

Daniel you're mine! I pick running and rope climbs.

I can't do it on Friday, but perhaps Sunday. If you have any questions feel free to email me at the address below.

Even Barry Sears and his magical blocks won't be able to help you with this one!

I challenge Audra and Connie to 225 lb squats for max reps.

I challenge MJJ to dead lifts and Nabil to butterfly kips....

Nabil,
I'm down with that. Make up a WOD and I'll do it with you on Sunday.

You can send me an email with the details of the WOD at the address below.

Michael G - what do you say? Is it possible for us to do this? Kind of like our own Gimp Olympics?

I've been miserable all week. Been popping vicodin like candy, but I'm always down for a challenge.

Audra, Robyn, Dawn, Connie and Me!

2000 m Row

5 Rounds:

7 Pull Ups
7 135# Deadlifts
7 Burpees

50 Double Unders

I challenge Fat Brad to a vicodin/burrito/merlot consumption contest.

Watch your back Lance! Just to let you know your "weakness" were the topic of discussion today, as a love/hate WOD was being put together by an unnamed CFOer.

I think Brad Greenlee and Lance would be good sparring partners. I can't think of many people who need to scale as much as I do, so it looks as though I'll be challenging myself. Wow. That sounds like fun. It's like a game of tetherball for one, except I was actually good at that so people were up for a game.

Daniel-
You need to pick the other two exercises so that after I beat you there will be no excuses and you can save your sob story for Candace.

Questions can be directed to the email address below.

when i read mike's post i was hoping you'd be up for a challenge. unfortunately i'll be out of town tomorrow. how about the next rest day? my weaknesses are too numerous to list, but high on my list is running (one of your strengths) and box jumps. i am relatively less feeble in back extensions,ghd situps, deadlifts and jumping rope.

let me know what you propose.

since no one's pulled the gun on lance yet... perhaps this can be a bi-coastal challenge? I'll take 135lb OHS and muscle-ups. lance, what you got?

> 135lb OHS

That's no joke, Edgar. I'm impressed.

thanks, tom. we'll see what happens...

C'mon, Lance, represent the west coast!

Don't let Lin bully you into submission.

Throw your chips on the table!

mike,

peer pressure doesn't work for old men, but maybe food will. Dinner at Lupa's your next trip out...

Nabil,
How about HSPU & OHS?

Or we could both just do Helen at the same time? Because that seems to be your true weakness!

...too much?

Edgar - if Lance doesn't take you on (he seems to be in hiding), I'd be happy to.

Edgar- nice to hear from you!
I'm game for some bi-coastal challenge, perhaps cleaning 5# of fresh squid for time and braising any secondary cut of beef,(natural of course) strainging the jus, then reducing it into a sauce mounted with reggiano butter and fresh tarragon. As for your challenge,you have me beat before we start... My right shoulder is f*~ked up from using poor technic during Linda. I'm up for any challenge, as long as I don't need my shoulder.(need all parts of the body to work on my wedding night)

dang, I just learned that Lance is human after all!

Lance, sorry to hear about your shoulder.

Funny Socks - I'm likely out all next week, so our "Duel" may be reduced to a "remember when...." saga over drinks.

JP - bad news today, I ran out of vicodin. Going to the dr's tomorrow. If he has 1/2 a heart he'll hook me up. And for the last time, it's "Phat" Brad.

Touche my dear Cobra Commander, touche.

HSPU and OHS it is!

Mike, will you please do the honor of constructing the rep/weight scheme for this challenge workout? (a run distance between 800 meters and 26 miles wouuld be prefered).

brad

drinks are good. that used to be one of my stonger events.

I think Connor should help me figure out who can do this workout faster

2000m row
5 deadlifts @ 300#
30 KB swing 2pood
9 pullups c2b

1000m row
10 deadlifts @ 300#

18 pullups c2b

500m row
20 deadlifts @300#
8 kb swing 2pood
36 pullups c2b

Dude Loren, you are one sick f*ck! That is an insane looking workout!!! I would like to see that one go down... actually I wouldn't mind participating as well. It just looks burly!

lance, my brother, sorry to hear about your shoulder. we ain't like them young'uns. take care of yourself. love to you and sierra...

alright brad... let's do it. just to get some perspective on how much of an ass-whooping i'm going to be getting what did you do the last 30MU wod in? and what might the other 2 movements be? email me...

angela, looking forward to seeing you...

...CfO, thanks again for the dynamax. came in handy today. brandon's "west coast forever" got me through the last 25...

Edgar - ok...first I have to see if I can even do a 135# OH squat. I *think* I can...

My last 30 MU time was 10:04. Yours?

Mike or Nicole, care to help make an Edgar vs. Good Brad WOD? How about:

21 OH squat 135#
15 MUs
800m run
15 OH squat 135#
9 MUs
400m run
9 OH squat 135#
6 MUs
200m run

Loren your workout looks kind of fun, in a Crossfit sort of way. As for good Brad's.....PASS!

Jesus, Loren. 20 deadlifts at 300 lbs on the last round? That's awful.

Since no one has challenged Brandon, I hereby challenge him to the following rest day workout:

Rest 30 minutes, repeat for as many rounds as possible.

Scaling is NOT ALLOWED!

(I may actually have a chance at this one!)

Allen,

You highly underestimate my resting skills. When I am not working out, I ride around in an electric wheel chair, controlling it with my mouth, Stephen Hawking style, in order to minimize any voluntary physical movement.

Dude why is Brandon's score on today's wod notable? 2nd place is first place looser. Since when have we been giving these kind of notables? Do you know how many times I have been under a minute behind Brandon with no recognition? Am I jealous? Yes! Have I been kidnapping darker skinned men, keeping them in a pit in my basement, having it put lotion on it's skin, making a skin suit, tucking it between my legs, buying too much nike and over training just so I can feel like Brandon? Yes!

Lau, priceless!

Sounds like there are a few who want in on the row/dead workout. Connor, Nabil and MJJ, you guys up for that workout sunday?
