3. You have left a sweat angel on the floor of your gym
4. You are on your last warning for violating your globo-gym’s “no oly lifts†policy
5. “So I think I dig this chick.†“What! How can you say that? You don’t even know what her Fran time is!â€
6. You wake up after a night at the tavern, and your pockets are full of napkins with WOD’s that you made up in a drunken stupor (â€10,000 kettlebell swings….underwater!â€)
7. In your head You’ve power-cleaned your BOSS because you know you could lift him and then some.

12. In your trunk, you have: at least one kettlebell, spare running shoes, a med ball, and rings

14. You talk about Coach, Eva, Brandon, Annie, Greg, etc like they are your best friends
15. Your favorite numbers are 21, 15, and 9
16. You where your CrossFit t-shirt, like a badge of honor

18. You can use the words “snatch†and “jerk†in a sentence and not giggle.
19. You watch affiliate videos while at work/in class

yeah…should say:
GHD situps made me feel dizzy, so challenge going onto grinder after that
got PR, but confidence still felt like crap
apparently the GHD situps have also messed up my cognition

Can’t remember the exact progression, but
3 sets 110 x 3
115 x 1 – lost focus & couldn’t do any more.
Wasn’t totally into this mentally today. Tired & sore.
GHD situps made me nauseous.

GHD’s etc. Somewhere in all this was a PR.
and for muppet…. You know you are a Crossfitter when your cognition gets all screwed up you just add another set to see if it clears up.

GHD situps also made me feel nauseous.
Should have tried heavier weight sooner.

80 x 3 for all – according to Auty and Chad I was doing a push jerk not a push press (dropped to 65 lbs after sets to work on push press)
After getting over initial nauseous feeling on GHD situps, (reminded me of the feeling you get on a swing when you lean back on the way out) these went surprisingly well today – was able to touch ground and do sets 2 through 5 unbroken without nauseous feeling. Apparently though these affected my memory as I seem to be a little bit forgetful today… thanks Chad.

lifted 60lbs. and got through 4 rds of sit ups.
Dec 17, 2008 @ 17:03:14

WOD
145 x 3
155 x 2 failed on 3rd
150 x 3
155 x 3

I think 160 x 2 was a PR
Dec 17, 2008 @ 21:44:46
85 x 3
90 x 1 – failed miserably at second attempt (good thing I went to see Dr. Ed today)
but only made it to 85lbs previously, so new PR
First time doing situps touching the ground as well!

Jobo, in reference to “that funny smell” you mentioned it is called soap. Since this item is new to you and you are just starting to use it might I suggest something mild like dove. If your skin has an adverse reaction to this foreign product, please discontinue use and consult a physician as there are doctor prescribed soaps that may not irritate new users. Best of luck on this new chapter in your life!
