2008-10-05 : The BEAR

I changed my Blog title to : 'Your worst has got to be better than their best' for a couple of reasons.

For one... I'm a big Special Forces buff who wishes I could be as good as they are... Some of you might recognize the title as one of the Special Air Service (S.A.S) sayings.

Two : The quote directly relates to my current career choice. which I enjoy since day 1 !

Three : The quote represents the competitiveness of Crossfit... You're not going against other people but against yourself... if my worst can be better than most of my 'clients' then I will have a great and safe career.

My WOD today was a WOD from Crossfit Langley 2008-09-22 : The "Bear" : 5 rounds


7 reps of :


- Power Clean ;
- Front Squat ;
- Push Press ; lower the bar behind the neck
- Back Squat ;
- Push Press ;

Add the number of reps for your score.

My weights were :
1. 75# x7

2. 95# x7

3.105# x5

4. 100# x7

5. 100# x7

Score : 3115 pts !

---without including the 15# that my weight vest added on my torso.

Pictured above is my white board and my two new babies... Weight vest (up to 60lbs but here loaded with 15lbs) and my lifting shoes that are killing my feet but kick my lifts into gear !

I am sitting here still shaking from my workout... I decided to include the Burgener Warmup in my 'Oly' lift days since it helps me trying to figure out how to properly snatch and jump for the clean !

The vest is an addition that I will attempt to have on each WOD, since I'm always carrying extra weight when I'm working.
