65# for thrusters
Subbed 25# kettle bell swings for jumps. Spaced and only did 25 reps on first two rounds, 35 on last round.
Pull-ups – attempted kipping on green band for first round, then switched to green band on rack for last 2 rounds.
Merry Christmas everyone! Good luck out in LA Andrew. Be sure to bring the sun with you on your visits back!
Thanks Rudy. Everyone has improved so much, I can’t wait to come back and see the crazy level of fitness. I hope to improve a lot myself, or at the very least come back with the best tan. (watch out Tim and Eileen)
Take care out there, andrew. Show ‘em how we crossfit here in the midwest.
I made an attempt to get up for this morning’s 6am class. not happening…I dont think I’ll ever make it to a 6am class. holidays everyone, see you all Friday.
Oh yeah, in honor of Kurt continuing to post as PrincessHands, I feel it is my duty to start posting as Lifetime Network. I’ll see you on the pullup bar, princess.
Andrew, it was a pleasure having you in this foxhole called crossfit. I’ll go into battle with you anytime. Look forward to seeing you in the summer.(maybe Kevin also?).
16:47 at 75#. Done in am and sore shoulders from presses so I dropped weight. Was planning on doing 80# but just not feeling right. Thrusters done at (20,5),(8,8,9), (9,6,6,4). Pullups at (15),(10,5),(15). Also sub tuck jumps for dbl unders which very broken up as I gasped for air.
24:04
45# for thrusters. Wrists still hurt from Monday.
Double unders were fine. My favorite part of the workout.
My kipping pull ups still have horrible rhythm. I’d do 2, get a wild swing going on, then stop myself and start again. Took forever and my hands ripped. My right hand rip is 1.75 inches from top to bottom and it’s oozing all over my computer mouse :( Didn’t feel as “gassed” for this workout since I took so many breaks in pull ups.
Cindy Rx’d: 14 rounds + 5 push-ups.
My hands are ripped to shreds.
Happy holidays everybody!!
Interesting. Last time did this at 21:14 with 45#, 200 singles, and jumping pullups. May seems like years ago.
hey guys i was wondering if this would make a cool saying on a t-shirt
“Crossfit touches hearts like Kano”
anyone a fan of the old mortal kombat games should know what I am talking about
Just wanted to wish you all a Marry Christmas and happy holidays.
Andrew, good luck out there in LA, I hope some day you reach our level of tan. It takes a lot of dedication…

It sucks to lose one of the original top dogs. It was great working out with ya Andrew!
Sad to see you go, Andrew. I’ll look you up when I hit Crossfit in LA again.
Another funny workout at Crossfit Albany today. I did this in 32:34. I did the ring dips with a purple band and found my range of motion increased a lot.

First round of thrusters were unbroken, the rest were done in three random sets. Had quite possibly the worst jump rope I’ve ever used today. Sucked it up and made it through though. Those thrusters were rough.

Lifetime network,
Thanks for the 12 gifts posts. Your first post provided me with an inspirational workout theme that I could create without equipment. Unfortunately, I did not see your second post until I had already created my 12 gift workout. My sister was digging this idea too, but was glad that she was on the DL once she saw how much “fun” I was having:
12 squats
11 jumping jacks
10 butterfly situps
9 dips
8 pikes
7 burpees
6 T pushups
5 jumping split squats (scissors)
4 plank pushups
3 jump squats
2 side planks, 1 min each
1 min jump rope or run
Andrew we will miss you! Good luck out in LA and the best beach along that stretch for a hot tan is Manhattan Beach! Check it out when you are there. Don’t forget to let us know how it is going. Don’t stay out there too long either!
Merry Christmas everyone!
Hope to be back there soon – almost feeling back to my old self. Need to make sure I am completely well before venturing back so as not to relapse.
Umm, who is Lifetime Network? Is it Alex?
as rxed: 18:59
3 rounds for time: 25-95# thrusters, 35 double unders, 15 pullups.
18:57
work on double unders!!
18:29
45#
First round of thruster 15,10. Next two round broke them into 5′s. First round of pullups sets of 5. Next two in groups of 4′s and 3′s.
22:00+
Set 1: 85#
Set 2,3: 75#
This smoked me. I did this after not really eating all day and it predictably kicked my butt. When I finished I pressed the wrong button on my watch so I didn’t get an accurate time but guessing from my last time check during my last set I must have been 20 min plus, so I guessed around 22 min. However that did include a weight change. Also subbed tuck jumps for double unders, no jump rope at the gym.
3 rounds of
35 reps @ 80# push press with dumbells
25 reps 18 inch box jump
7:06
A couple alternate movements here, no sub for pullups.
