very interesting! quite looking forward to this! goal: unbroken, all sets! yeehaw! (wait...those box jumps are gonna hurt after those squat cleans...might have to reeval.)

The Brain

Ever since the burpee challenge started I've been looking for a way to make burpees more difficult...and here it is. Bring it on!

Alison

Is the goal to jump onto the box coming up from your burpee? If yes, my goal is to not hit my head on the box while doing burpees. This should be interesting.

 jackie

oh, didn't think of that alison! hmmm... maybe we need helmets for this one? i agree - definitely interesting... possibly fun. i mean, it reads like it could be fun...

cori

uh...it will be "fun" for like 1 round!

Robyn

wow....this is going to be interesting. I'm worried about the burpee box jump thing too. hopefully I can find a demonstration out there......

cori

if you've ever done weighted lunges, then box jumps, you are well aware that jumping any height AT ALL becomes extremely difficult. too bad i didn't bring pants tonight. a lot of busted shins on this one!

Russell taking away a rep.

cori, if you russell me tonight ... well, i can't think of a fill-in good enough right now, but just remember the blank hasn't been filled and it could be REALLY bad!

Sri

Blerg. Tried a burpee file-cabinet jump (~14" high) at work... I think I *will* bring a helmet. Today's finer things selection is a fine Pinot Noir from California.

paleo peeps: just saw this!
"Cashews are not nuts, they another type of legume or bean like a peanut. They have all kinds of toxins in them."
anyone know anything about this!? that means cashew cookie lara bars are out! what a travesty!!!!!

Sri

Say it ain't so, Cori. :* (

Donna

Somehow I understood they were not exactly nuts but not as bad as peanuts either...my completely uneducated opinion.

Donna

I think they're seeds.

 jackie

it's not true. cordain allows it - and that's what i go by... they are seeds. so many people have different views on what is/isn't paleo. it's a judgement call - i'm going by the book. cashews stay!

Sri

Wikipedia says it's a seed. Crisis averted.

 jackie

and we thought burpee box jumps were the hardest thing we'd have to face today! :)

cori

cashew counseling will be available tonight after the wod. only one person can share at a time...you must be holding the medicine ball to speak. you will all get a chance to let it out.

 jackie

how 'bout we make cori stand up against a wall while we all try and hit her with medicine balls for causing such a panic! ;)

Carter

Looking forward to this one and the following froth.

cori

that's a bunch of RECRAP i say!

Robyn

good idea jackie! causing such a stir on a Friday afternoon. goodness.
Sri.....sounds like you brought out the fine stuff! I hope we aren't out of cups to drink our finer things in. if anyone is heading to a grocery b/f CF, will you pick up the fine china wine cups?
