I definitely am a victim of the knee rolling in, I would like to think that this happens becasue I have flat feet, but I know realize its because of various other things.

Thanks for the article, hopefully my wobbly knees will slowly but surely listen!

Fun Finisher! 95 is the new 75 or at least today it was.

95# OHS 100 Reps 4 sets (30,32,21,17 Time 9:02) Somehow 38 reps on set number three just wasn’t in the cards.

I’m a little late on this, but just wanted to point out that CFI was highlighted on Nicki Violetti’s blog last week (March 4th to be exact). Check it out at http://www.nickivioletti.com.

Dani – You bring up a really good point of discussion. For some people, deciding to ‘not workout’ is easy. As CrossFitters, it seems like we struggle with just the opposite. I think you set a great example by showing us that we need to be in tune with our bodies and know that it’s okay to take a day off (even if its’ not your rest day).
I’m no advocate of skipping a WOD day due to ‘normal’ soreness or because I have a case of the ‘blahs’ (all the more reason to hit the WOD!), but everyone needs to know when the CNS and muscles are just too taxed to perform a safe and intense WOD. Good call coach! I’m glad you shared.

Wink – I have been working out with/chasing you for a year now. You’re always challenging me, and today was no exception. Watching you hit that 170 was real motivating. Most CF experts will agree that a correctly executed, heavy OHS is the great equalizer. Once you’ve hit a bodyweight OHS, you are at a new level. You did that today dude! Although the load was quite heavy, it wasn’t really the weight you put up that was so inspirational. Instead, I’m impressed becasue I know how hard you have worked and how far you’ve come along in your CF journey. This stuff ain’t easy and it takes a lot of heart to stick with it. You are a walking testimonial of what hard work, dedication and adherence to the CF method can produce.
I’m super proud of you bro! Keep it up!!

Wayne, I have yet to sniff the freak category. That honor is soley bestowed upon your humble leader, CJ. Not to mention his Hurculean Max OHS, I think it is something close to BW + 100#. Don’t let the welterweight fool you, he is a beast!

And 21 is SO not the new 15, I will give you 95 is the new 75 though.

Huge props to Bee Charmer this morning! Taking the bull by the horns does not describe the determination you show in conquering deficiencies. Soon your OHS skills be on par with the rest of your arsenal of movements. Truly inspirational, nice work buddy!

Thanks to BC, Dani, Snax, and CJ for the support and encouragement on the lifts today, pretty weird having that much weight overhead for the first time.

Dani, thanks for hammering me on ‘the higher standard’ – its the new ‘acceptable’ just like 95# is the new 75#.

POS, only freaks like you and CJ do that! And I hear 21 is the new 15…
