If you have not yet heard about the Everyday Warrior Battle Series, please take some time to visit their website and learn about their mission to inspire, empower and financially support individuals in the CrossFit community who have been diagnosed with cancer and are currently undergoing treatment. Our own coach Cat Blatner also wrote about what this cause means to her, and I would encourage you to read her thoughts here.
A) 56 bar facing burpees
B) 220lbs c&j
(Nov 13th 2015)

225# c&j no pr
A.) 36 Bar-facing burpees
B.) 135/185/205/225/255F/255/265F
Managed to stick 255 without a belt. Slapped on the belt but couldn’t power clean 265. Def next time.
A: 32 Bar-Facing Burpees
B: 140# / 150 / 155 / 160 / 165(f) – my PR 165
I have a weaker time , two injured – m. adductor longus and teres major are overloaded , so I can’t give it 100% 🙁
Rest up buddy! Get that body healthy and ready to attack. Maybe try doing fitness for a while and stay away from dynamic movements and percentage based loading while your injuries heal. Let us know how we can help.
I am a physiotherapist so I can handle with my injuries. It’s just a matter of time 🙂 I feel how my body lets, within reasonable limits
43 and 205#, ran out of gas on jerks, missed a few at 215.
Nice job Andy! Next time try 210# =)
Good idea, how about I test that theory today? Hoping I’ll have a little more pop after not doing 43 burpees first:)
Worked yesterday’s squat part in first since I skipped yesterday.
Yesterday.
265,280,300,275,300×1 and finished at 315.
A. 48 burpees
B. 245 all power cleans. Had more in the tank. just stopped here with 5 minutes to go
Nice job. Solid numbers. Why did you stop, was 245 a little challenging? What are your thoughts looking back at that moment?
No I just didn’t feel like going further. I maybe had 265 in the tank. Just a sluggish day with not much motivation.
38 burpees
125 cj tied max:)
wooohooo, way to tie that max! Now you are building some consistency =)
37 burpees/205# C&J – had the clean at 215# easy but couldn’t jerk it with :05 left
so close! Way to challenge yourself Aaron!
A) 3mins bar facing burpees: 39
B) 12mins to find clean and jerk max: 225. Not a PR. Tried 235 but couldn’t get under the jerk. Tried it again and couldn’t get under the clean.
Oly gets significantly tougher after burpees. What happened on the jerk, legs just a bit too tired to get under?
I felt like I couldn’t catch my breath after the clean. Probably just general muscular fatigue.
I’m trying to stay away from too many heavy clean days so I can work on my technique, so I rearranged things a bit today.
a) E2MOM, Clean, Hang Squat Clean, FS @ 185. 5 Rounds
b) Jeremy – 21/15/9 OHS @ 95, and burpees – 5:22
Good luck to everyone tackling event 1.
Fun little twist Ian!
37 burpees, up to 200(5# pr). Been sick all well so I’ve barely done any training. Had no gas on the burpees but apparently “fresh” legs and my toddlers cold medicine is the secret PR maker. You heard it here first…
Woohoo PR stars!

A) Deadlift: #135×8/ #155×8/ #175×6/ #185×1 (#10 pr! Yay!)
