"We don't have the agility of gymnasts, the power of a weightlifter, or the endurance of a marathoner but we have more agility, power, and endurance than any gymnast, weightlifter or marathoner. We do your stuff almost as good as you, you can’t do our stuff at all and we do stuff neither of us does way better than you can." -Greg Glassman, aka "Coach"

Weighted chins felt good... stayed with double over hand grip and got 130 to my lower lip... 3 sec down on the 85% made a big difference

CFFB WOD from 1-1

Kalsu
On the minute:

Complete 5 burpees and perform max rep 135 lbs thrusters on the minute.

This WOD sucked... no other way to put it. Was at 20hrs of a accidental fast... slept in and messed up my schedule. I didnt get thrusters in on one and took 2 minutes after Clint finished to catch my breath,,, only at 70. Finished with 3's got 6 on last set when Daniel started writting my reps down... wasted time in transition writing down reps each min
