'Scuse Me While I Kiss The Ground

Lucas practices handstand push ups with the assistance of
bands.

Workout:
1 mile run for time
Rest as needed
Max Set Pull Ups

This week marks the end of the CFSC ZONE CHALLENGE.
After six weeks we will see who the zone helped and how.
We have witnessed some drastic physical changes, some
amazing performances and inspirational personal records.
It will be interesting to see who has increased their work
capacity across broad time and modal domains. Angel
seems to be wearing less around the gym. Stronger and
leaner Kristy is moving a lot more weight, and Scott is
walking around like a new man. Adrianna found her
intensity and looks to be improving outside of the gym also.
On average our crew is lighter, stronger, and more
importantly, happier, friendlier and more committed than
ever.

Stay tuned for the hard numbers, because it really
comes down to, "What's your Fran time?"

Our testing WODs are:
Tuesday: Tabata This
Wednesday: 1 mile Run, Max reps Pull Ups
Thursday: Fran or Helen
Friday: Fight Gone Bad
***We will do body measurements on Friday at the 9am
class***

Results will be posted next week!!

We will be closed Saturday and Sunday for the
CrossFit Games.

Handstand pushups. Now that's something to shoot for! I'd like to try this one.

Did everyone see the fabulous article that the CrossFit Journal did on Steve's Club? If not, check it out. Good stuff and great photos! While you're at it, check out the post the boys put up today; a great video of them doing sled pulls: http://stevesclub.typepad.com/

Nice work everyone. It sure has been great seeing all the gains that everyone has made over the past six weeks. I'm not sure about you all but I plan to continue on with the Zone, trying to dial it in more exactly (and allowing myself a cheat day like your supposed to).

I so want to go crazy on these testing WODs but I'm tapering off this week for the games. Last night I had to hold myself back when we did Tabata This and it was tough. I can only hope that one or more of the events at the games are something from above so I'll have an idea how I'm progressing. I need it to be Sat now. I feel like a firecracker whose fuse has been lit and I'm just waiting to blow up!

That is just how you should feel Scott. Hold on a bit longer, you will find out tonight what you have to do this weekend. Then you can start planning your attack. I am so proud of you guys for competing and for doing so well on the zone. I am inspired and looking forward to your continuing progress.
I for one am sold on how the zone helps. I am a better athlete, partner, coach and friend when I eat that way. I just have to remember those things when the going gets tough.
I do wish I was competing this weekend (a little), oh well maybe next year.

Yowzers! They just posted the Sat workouts for the games on their site (http://www.crossfitgames.com). Looks like it's going to be a rough (but fun day). Time to start planning that attack! ;)

You're exactly right Danielle. This is the exact feeling I remember getting from any organized sporting competition in the past. I really can't wait, and I'm sure Kristy and Pat feel the same way. Thanks to Danielle and everyone else for your support in this, I know it has helped me in so many ways.
