   I’d like to decide once and for all: “carioca” or “karaoke”?

   What a wonderful surprise to find my old friend Heather Stefanski at 530am class this morning. Welcome Heather and Angie!!!

   Front squat doubles up to 245 … that part felt good.

   WOD: 19:04 Rx
   Pretty unfocused mentally. Helping with bands, complaining to Mike about his atrocious easy listening music selection, …
   Cleans after burpees = murder

   Nathan the visitor was a beast on front squats!

3. Heather Aug 23, 2011 / 8am

   It was awesome to see a familiar face at 5:30 am Ian !!! I was cursing the fact thta I had to set my alarm for 4:55, but the workout was fantastic and now I am so happy that my workout is finished for the day. My arms are still sore from a few days ago so I felt like my PCs and Pull-ups were no where near perfect. But I am guessing that will come with time.

   I disagree with Ian regarding the music- anytime Guns n Roses November Rain plays- you know it is going to be a great day

   Great form improvement on squat form Mike!

   Front Squat doubles up to 195. First heavy front squats at Crossfit : )

   Felt motivated this morning, but I think all the Reases products and iced cream sandwiches for dinner affected my energy level this morning.

   WOD: 20:59 Cleans @ 135

5. Mike Mc Aug 23, 2011 / 11am

   155 on front squats

   Wod @ 16 something w/ 115 cleans

   jesse you were grinding there @ the end, nice hustle

   i’ve been working alot on stretching past few weeks and its made a huge difference, my front squats were much better today than they were just 2 weeks ago. highly recommend checking out mobilitywod.com for a daily 10-15 min stretch, and mobility wods (MWods) are a lot less taxing than Wods

   Got my front squat up to #118, which is a first since my lower back injury. Getting there:) Wod at 16:07, with cleans at #73. Thanks for the last round encouragement, Deb.

7. Mike J Aug 23, 2011 / 3pm

   Front squat 225-245-255
   19:20 on the metcon, it was fun racing Quinn at the end.

8. Mike mer Aug 23, 2011 / 3pm

   Great way yo start a tuesday. WOD 20:xx @65# cleans squat @ 115#

   @Ian Carioca is Portuguese for a person from Rio de Janerio the capital of Brazil. Karaoke is from Japaneses and at its core is singing to relive stress with booze added. Hence (of course unencumbered by the thought process) since the movement is dance like and there is no singing or alcohol involved my vote is for carioca. and from seeing you move with fluidity and lightness this morning I would say you looked like you were from Rio.

9. Jess Aug 23, 2011 / 4pm

   I’m pretty sure Brasilia is the capital of Brazil.

10. Mike mer Aug 23, 2011 / 4pm

    @Jess I betray my age and lack of education with that one. when i learned georgaphy with apparently really old textbooks Rio was the capital of Brazil. But now of course it is Brasilia since 1960. but remember the post was not meant to be informative, relied on for travel advice or mediated by some cognitive process.

11. Ian Aug 23, 2011 / 4pm

    @Mike Mer – Even in error, I am pretty sure no one has ever accused me of moving with grace and fluidity before

12. Amy S Aug 23, 2011 / 5pm

    Made it to 113# for front squat
    WOD 17:15 (pretty sure) but only 65# cleans
    I probably would have gone a lot faster but the Tyler’s music taste was really holding me back…

13. Jenn Halvo Aug 23, 2011 / 6pm

    Up to 153 on the front squat, 17:27 rx for the wod. My first early morning visit to cfsp! Glad got this wod out of the way, I would have been dreading cleans all day if I had gone this afternoon

14. Renata Aug 23, 2011 / 6pm

    So close to getting 113 on FS. Did a solid 108 which was a PR compared to my previous 103(doing triples). 73 for cleans and used that tiny red band for pullups. 19:39 I think. I really enjoyed this workout.

15. Steph Aug 23, 2011 / 6pm

    Ian may be pretty graceful, but is he as lithe as this guy? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVp3PtUQgWU&feature=related

    I think that settles it: Carioca FTW.

16. gauger Aug 23, 2011 / 8pm

    Fs: 225-275-295
    Met con: 17:25 rx

17. Jackie K Aug 23, 2011 / 8pm

    Ian is the ginger to his fred….

    and i’m just saying….the music in Minneapolis is fantastic.

18. Dan N Aug 23, 2011 / 8pm

    Did you know there is A/C in Minneapolis?

19. Quinn Aug 24, 2011 / 8pm

    Yeah, super fun racing for last place, Mike Jones, thanks!
