This was another deceivingly difficult workout. Barbells. At least you see now why we carry everything we can overhead. Good practice for workouts like this one. We were the nail today.

Three rounds:

185 pound Overhead walk, 50 yards
185 pound Walking lunges, 25 yards
95 pound barbells Farmer's carry, 50 yards

Great workout everyone. This was a mother grabber of the highest order. Good job showing up. If you knew what you were in for that is... Now that you know would you come back again?

One of the most difficult aspects of this workout was turning around without losing the load. Some people were able to, some not so much. Balancing barbells is much easier said than done, and well said is not well done. One common thread to these exercises had to do with our ability to stay hollow. Hollow is stable. Stable compliments balance.

The "Indian overhead" Tabata is a good way to get locked on to the CrossFit definition of  "active shoulders" . If you aren't able to get into an active shoulder position, you will be working a lot harder than you should. The limiting factor usually isn't strength- it's flexibility.

Good job navigating the street. Cars have a higher level of respect for us while we're carrying barbells don't they. Maybe we should carry them with us more often? We did get a few really funny looks, and a car actually slowed down to shoot video of some of the guys from the 6:00 class. Imagine what they say when they show their friends the video.

Thanks for another great day at CFSF.
