Pulling our own weight and then some... Weighted pull-ups are always a blast. We went strict today, and that changed things quite a bit. Some loaded, some did not. Whichever group you were in, good job!

Weighted pull-up  1-1-1-1-1-1-1
                        BW     1RM    
Richard-           180      60 
Eric-                180      60
Andrew-          178      90
Lynde-             155      25
Sam-                            45
John-               215      100
Cody-             205      57.2
T-                   180       70


Great pulls John and Andrew. You guys are STRONG! Great job Lynde, strict and 25 pounds added- HOOYAH! If you were working sets and reps for pull-ups, remember, GET THOSE NEGATIVES!

This workout needs a name. What would you name it? Another deceivingly difficult session, this one followed the whiteboard "looks easy" theory like bad directions to a party. You know you're going to get there.

Three rounds:

300 meter row
20 wall ball shots 20/16
10 pull-ups


Eric- 9:43
Alice Anne- 11:42
Tammy- 12:44
Scott- 12:00
Larunda- 12:30
Carolyn- 13:31
Richard- 8:20
Andrew- 9:31
Teresa- 12:49
Sam- 11:14
Lisa- 11:33
Cody- 12:12
T- 9:45

Great workout everyone. Super fast finish Richard! Keep those lungs inflated.... This was a short, and sweet session where most went unbroken. It was also the first CrossFit workout at prescription for some puppies. Great job puppies!

This was another great workout from CFHQ, and there is no better motivation to push than a hero workout. We needed that motivation today.

'Zimmerman'
25:00 AMRAP
11 chest to bar pull-ups
315 pound deadlift, 2 reps
10 handstand push-ups/ *OH press sub/^HS prog

Shaun- Rx  7
Todd- Rx  8 + 2 deadlifts
John- Rx  10 + 2 pull-ups
Holley- 95# *  8 + 6 pull-ups
Cody- (15:00) 5
Hayden- (15:00)  4 + 11 pull-ups
Lynde- 205# ^ 7 + 2 deadlifts
Candice- (15:00) 5 + 11 pull-ups
Heather-185#  6
Andrew- 265# *  7 + 11 pull-ups
T- 265#  10 + 11 pull-ups

Great session guys. This was a heavy workout that took a lot of fuel. Good prioritization for a Saturday morning. Twenty five minutes felt like thirty today, and pulling the garage door down took a little extra effort.

This session is named in honor of  U.S. Marine Corps First Lieutenant James R. Zimmerman, assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force, who died on November 2, 2010 during combat operations in Helmand Province, Afghanistan.
