I’ve never been so close to crying during a WOD, but crying wouldn’t have made it suck any less. You’d think the presses would get less sucky as you do fewer, but they don’t. The squats just get suckier. SCALE, people! I didn’t wash my hair this morning because I couldn’t raise my arms that high.

(hopefully that worked)
This is what she thinks of us as we attempt her workout. Eva Twardokens is one of the original “Nasty Girls” of CrossFit along with “Nicole” Carole and “Annie” Sakamoto.

up to 128 for doubles on push press, I could get one at 133 but not 2. 13:48rx for the wod, burpees at the beginning, after 6/5 round, and at the end. A whole lot of standing around with the bar on my shoulders…
Isaac Eckers Apr 16, 2012 / 5pm

holy $h!t that really really hurt.
up to 225lbs for a double which I am kinda sure is a PR so woot woot on that.

8:30 on the WOD Rx’d. Only dropped one time at the 5 pushpress round.

DO NOT DROP THE BAR more than is absolutely needed as it adds about a minute each time.

Anyone else’s hands/forearms really hurt from the tire flips? Just wondering…

My forearms are fried from the tire flips. Yikes.

@ Open gym
Backsquat to 355 x 6
Frontsquat to 270 x 5
PP to 255 for a double, 275 for a single

7:11 Rx on the WoD. Didn’t drop the bar. Got tunnel vision with 9 burpees left…things got dark on the periphery. One of the hardest WoD’s I’ve had in a long, long time.
Greg W Apr 16, 2012 / 10pm

For those that didn’t drop the bar:

185 pp. 16:xx, not quite Rx. Could not jump to complete a proper burpeee on the two last rounds.

19:07 on the WOD – almost forgot to do the last set of burpees, thanks for the reminder guys.

Heavy double up to 185 on the pushpress – good times!

Sure is nice when the wife isn’t around!
Dan N Apr 16, 2012 / 10pm

Push Press double up to 175, only got one at 185.
18:51 Rx on the WOD. That was brutal.
Ian S Apr 16, 2012 / 10pm

Push Press to 185
-Still struggling with hand placement
-Big fail on try at 205

WOD: 12:49 Rx
-Loved this WOD
-Good to be back after a week of being down for the count after Nicole last week
Markese Apr 16, 2012 / 11pm

Push press double up to 205 and failed at 225.
15:19 RX for the wod I drop the bar once at the halfway point !!
JUST REMEMBER ALL CROSSFITTERS, THERE IS NO CRYING IN CROSSFIT !!!!!
