Day 2 in our CrossFit Cycle.
It’s 5am and lookin’ just fine…going to brush my fangs and head to CFP. To be clear, Kim WILL NOT be at CFP from 8:45-11am.
HOUSEKEEPING: The treadmill. After much thought and talking to Tom here is the deal. When (and I have no time line to give my friends) the new belt goes on CFP is OFF THE HOOK. Anyone that uses the treadmill will be responsible for repairs to it (1 person uses it they order and cough up the parts~ 2 people use it the cost gets split 2 ways…get my drift?). I know I sound like a skipping CD, but the $100 I put into it could have gone towards new jump ropes (some of the old ones are DEADLY with the wire) or another 14# Dynamax Ball. A treadmill is a “luxury” so to speak..yup, it’s nice to have when it downpours or snows, but it certainly is not essential. Hit the tar mac (sp?) if you don’t want to risk being held liable for repair costs.
MCGRAW!!!! You may not be feeling 100%, but your squat depth was fabuloso every rep! I agree you could have gone a little heavier, but you kept great form and you can continue to increase your load safely. Well executed!
Check out the video below. It created quite a controversy on the mainsite comment board Tuesday. What do you notice about her form and what are your thoughts?
Laura DeMarco 370lb Deadlift – video [wmv] [mov]
No matter what, Laura is quite an athlete. We were neck in neck on the long run in Aromas and she kicked in the last 200m to go ahead of me. She wound up in the “Sweet 16″ among female competitors.

Post time to comments.
I will get up at 5am to check the weather outside and post if I am coming in or not. Sorry to make you drag yourself outta bed to check the website, but I’m not making a decision until I roll my rear out from beneath the covers and see what the ground is looking like!
OK~ G’bury has already announced cancellation for school on 2/10. UGH!
In case some do make the effort to go in early: (3) 20# balls (although I have one at home right now in case I am chicken to go out early AM..I HATE driving if it’s dumping snow), (2) 14# balls, and (4) 10# balls (1 is the bouncier med ball but toss it against the wall where the squat racks are..aim for the top of the wall where the natural wood 2×4′s are so the ball bounces off the wood and not into the loft area! Be ready to scale up or down or wait if the ball you want is not available.
GOLD!
I remember you talking about Laura DeMarco Kimmie ~ My first thought, is she really going to lift 370#?? And she walked to the bar and picked it up. Period. Form wise, her back was very rounded.
yup, it is rounded. What is your opinion on that?
Don’t bother with the lift with the rounded back?
It was a 1 rep max so go for it…”Balls to the wall”?
Don’t put a video like that on the mainsite as there are many novices that may try to mimic the lift and with inexperience do a lot of damage to their back?
Hey, can’t be perfect every time~”way to go!” type of support?
Didn’t even have the main site on my mind when I commented, only CFP’s post….Since Laura is an elite athlete, I have to believe she wouldn’t sacrifice form with multiple reps for time. Doing a 1RM, go for it girl! And she did ~ awesome! Pam made a good point about posting a disclaimer.
Silver….it would be great to get some more early a.m. energy…c’mon people…then you will be DONE for the day!!!!!
SILVER!!!YEAH!
I’ll try, it’ll be fun to see you 2x in a week. Hope the girls are feeling better. If you have a bottle of that glass cleaner, bring it, I’ll bring some cash, $6 something right?
Bronze???
oh yes, bronze…she must be feeling better!
As for Kimberley~ how are you girl? Recovering well?!!!
nope, i actually feel even more congested, if thats even possible? In a quandry as to what to take; hate taking cold meds because they dry me out, but i can’t breathe when i don’t take them!! what to do? Jodi, have any good remedies for me?
p.s. thanks for the kind words on the backsquats today.
C-R-A-P McGraw! Have some hot tea. Go for the “as advertised on tv SNUGGIE”….maybe that’ll help!
And, you are welcome for the kind words Pam~ meant every one. You looked great!
Just watched the video, I sure wouldn’t lift with my back rounded like that, ouch. She also grabbed the bar with bent legs, but I maybe that’s getting too picky.
Early am wall balls, not to mention grabbing a pull up bar again, ugh. I’ll see how fast the snow is falling at the a$$ crack of dawn, my car is kinda sucky in the snow.
Feel better Pam & Kimberley!
Pam you did awesome today for being congested and feeling crappy, you go girl! I’d do lots of hot tea, vitamin C and steamy showers for the congestion, my .02.
Hey Kim no school tomorrow just saw it on the TV. See you early am if your still going in
Wow, they called it already. May see you there. Did you ever make it to Sarah’s?
yeah, just got the email from NBC30 that G’bury is canceled too.
I will post back after tonight’s weather report to see WHEN this nightmare is suppose to start.
No Mel got stuck at work
Okay Kim
5am and looking good~ going to brush my fangs and head to CFP.
Just watched the deadlift video finally. Holy barbells; for a little thing she can sure move the weight; however, her back was way rounded….and definitely not textbook form!! As far as putting it on the website, you know something like that is going to be put out there by the sheer fact of what she accomplished; as long as “novices” know not to mimic her form hopefully all their bases are covered; “Watch at your own Risk and don’t try this at home”!!
good thought….put a disclaimer on the video.
FYI McGraw~ Laura is NO little thing….ripped, yes…little no! She weighs in at least 155# and is probably 5’10″!
50 Wallballs
25 L-Pull Ups
40 Wallballs
20 L-Pull Ups
30 Wallballs
15 L-Pull Ups
20 Wallballs
10 L-Pull Ups
For Time: 14:13
I ended up doing kipping L-Pull Ups because my abs are still shot from Stephen. Wallballs weren’t too bad.
Nice finally getting to WOD with you, Kim!
back at you Tom…you flew through that WOD!
Great laughs this morning with Tom, Jodi, Justin, and Kelly K.!
MORNING TEAM PLAYED “WHERE’S WALDO”…NOT ONE OF YOU SHOWED UP!
I thought for sure Lisa and Mel would be in!
TODAY’S WOD
20# ball
dead hang and kipping “L” pull ups
TIME: 16:17
Forget virtual shoveling~get ready for “REAL TIME” shoveling!
JODI~ LOVED OUR POST WOD COOL DOWN AT LOTTIES!!! See what you missed morning team??!!!!
your abs are still shot….MY HAMSTRINGS ARE STILL USELESS!!!!
I thought for sure I would be in too. Got involved in household stuff and stayed up kinda late. I also thought it would be snowing much earlier, that’s what I get for paying attention to the hourly weather.com!! My hammies are pretty useless too, can’t straighten my legs while sitting, it was interesting loading furniture yesterday.
I may try to sub this at home, can do thrusters and maybe some kind of towel pull up, I can’t do L-pu’s anyways.
Have a fun snow day everyone!!!!
It’s 10:15 and where is the storm? I am going running. I do’nt think we are having a storm. If you want snow you have to move to DC. Enjoy the nice morning. Mrs. C
WHERE WERE YOU EARLY AM??!!!
Sorry Kim – had every intention of going this morning to get this WOD in until of course I rolled over and it was 9:18. Haven’t slept that late in I don’t know how long!! Felt great but hamstrings and abs are still screaming. I plan on making this one up on the next rest day (Fri) especially since it has my favorite (NOT) wall balls.
Where the heck is the snow?! My kids faces are plastered to the slider with gloves in hand waiting to go sledding.
See you tomorrow – I promise.
I hear you Donna on the snow front for crying out loud!!!!
**I WILL POST THIS ON THE WEBSITE LATER: BUT, IF TOMORROW IS A 2 HOUR DELAYED OPENING, KIM WILL HOLD HER TIME SLOT FROM 10:30-11:30AM ONLY. I HAVE TO BE AT NAYAUG FOR KACEY’S BIOGRAPHY ORAL PRESENTATION.
**10:30AM OPENING IS COMPLETELY DEPENDENT ON THE BUS PICKING THE KIDS UP ON TIME AT 10:20AM!
Oh, Maren has hers tomorrow at noon also.
They almost could’ve had a half day today. I am all kinds of out of sorts now, ugh. At least I should go get dressed before noon, huh. LOL.
Donna, I was also in bed until just before 9, UNHEARD of!!
How do you people sleep so late? Don’t you have that internal clock thing going on? I wish to God I could sleep in, might do me so good; I am “ADD” syndrome by at least 6:30….i think i was on my second cup of coffee by 8:00!!
Good work to you early a.m. peeps; 5:30 is soooo early, even for me!!
Instead I tried one of the workouts from my hubby’s new “P90X” workout tapes; I did the one hour “Plyometrics” DVD. It was definitely a good workout; what i found refreshing was the pace; it was challenging, but with CrossFit we are so used to going balls to the wall, everything for time, etc. etc., that this was challenging but nicely paced; hard to explain. I will have to try some of the other tapes; good option when you are home in a non-existent snow storm (hello?? I’m with you Berger, my kids are climbing the walls!)
Enjoy the day at home everyone!
p.s. Kim, regarding Laura, i guess 155# and 5’10″ isn’t so small; I was just expecting her to be some monstrous looking thing before i pulled up the video i guess!!
Ok girls 12 noon now snow.
Went running. Great no cars, no traffic, no people. Nice long run.
Kimmie 5:30 way to early. Woke up at 7:30.
I know sorry Kim sooooo planned on being there to work out especially since cancellations came in last nite. I don’t know what happened never heard the alarm and woke up at 6:30:(…bummer but went for run this am very peaceful no traffic. LOL
If the stinkin snow ever gets here enjoy everyone. Hope to see everyone tomorrow.
yeah, the stinkin’ snow..I’m with you all!
Glad you got a long run in Mrs. C and Lisa!
I woke up at 4:30AM and looked outside. No snow. So I (incorrectly) figured Coach would go in later, girls in tow. I went back to sleep and got up just before 8AM ~ zzzzzzzzzzz
Glad you had a chance to WOD with the early AM peeps, Kimmie and celebrate at Lottie’s, snow or not!
