Bench press to 155, got 4 at 160 but couldn’t get the last one up. 14:08 rx for the wod. My runs just got slower and slower

Fun wod. Bench 225 x 5. Running kills me and I and ran out if gas on the 3rd set of pushups.

Bench 123, 17:49 RX to the point that, after the WOD, Chris Powers gave me a backwards nod and said, “those pushups were LEGIT!”

I’ve been concerned all day if my push-ups were bastardized this a.m.

I definitely agree that the push-up is the most bastardized movement in Crossfit, then again have you seen the bench press technique in powerlifting. I wonder what it is about pushing heavy things with your hands that leads to cheating…haha.

So many snarky remarks I could make about this photo and my bastardized push-ups.

Big crew of early risers this morning. Was inspiring!

Bench to 205×5

WOD 15:24 Rx

Benching before 120 pushups? Priceless

For not having done bench or pushups in ages, I was quite pleased. I guess CrossFit really does prepare you for all situations.

I was really feeling the pushups in my legs towards the end. Fighting the urge to worm up.

PS. Is that an upside down bed of nails that the bencher is laying on? Cause if that’s the future of S&C, I’m out!
