150 Squats. I’ll have some shaky legs tomorrow methinks!!

Squats, awesome

I am gonna do these against the wall to stop me rounding out my back and doing them like a clown,

I like the commitment to virtuosity Tom!

Colm is stuck in a well and from what I can gather asking him many..many questions is the only way to get him out.

How do people feel about Thursday 26th and Saturday 28th for the ‘Introduce a Family member to Crossfit’ days?
Bobby O'Leary on February 16, 2009 at 12:27 said:

Thursday sounds good for me, I’ll ring home tonight and see if its cool. The 28th is the MMA league so it counts it out for me!

Yeh I’m all gung ho about it now but I will regret this later,
Pixie on February 16, 2009 at 13:36 said:

Cheers for that Scott, yep I’ll be down tonight, looking forward to this WOD, whenever I see a WOD and think oh that won’t be too bad it always turns out to be an absolute killer!
Will Walshe on February 16, 2009 at 13:44 said:

Push presses and air squats? Yeah, I can’t possibly see how those 2 could be nasty together…
Tom Gannon on February 16, 2009 at 14:05 said:

This is going to be very similar to fridays workout, which I must say sucked and made me hate Crossfit while doing it
Will Walshe on February 16, 2009 at 14:14 said:

That was a fecking killer ending on friday though Tom, you gotta love seeing someone who can barely stand up staggering back over to finish a set while you can practically HEAR their survival instincts yelling at them not to do it.

Highly crossfit.

Cheers Will, Colm showing me a countdown timer really helped I think I heard Amy tell Colm to do something during one of her sets, it was hilarious but I could’nt laugh

Ah… I was having trouble bending my legs yesterday thanks to Friday’s legtastic workout. Now this… Luckily I can bitch out by claiming that tonight is BJJ night for me.

Colm’s Q&A session on boards.ie is surprisingly uncontroversial so far. I was going to ask a question about how he developed his huge fanbase, and which of Tom Cruise’s portfolio inspires him the most, but I was worried it could get taken the wrong way.

In other news- Tom, you mentioned being interested in starting to do some stand-up martial arts later in the year. Well, there might be a good opportunity popping up in the gym in a few weeks, talk to Colm in the gym. Something new on the horizon…

Colm,

I’d hold off on ordering those shoes from Holdall.co.uk just yet. I’m having a slight problem with them regarding payment. I’ve been charged but they claim they haven’t received anything.

It seems to be a problem on their end as I have credit card and paypal receipts for the item. I’ll let you know how I get on.

It seems that bacon is at the forefront of food innovation, what with this and peviously the bacon bbq roll.
Tom Gannon on February 16, 2009 at 16:27 said:

Ruairi nice one on the martial arts stuff I will definitely chat to Colm about it,
Bobby O'Leary on February 16, 2009 at 16:35 said:

Just got off the phone with Tom Ashmore from Holdall.co.uk and I’ve apparently sorted things out and my order will be dispatched tomorrow.

He couldn’t tie my transaction number to my transaction or something. I got my serious on for a few minutes and he apologised and said it’d be with me by the end of the week. I’ll let you know if it arrives
Bobby O'Leary on February 16, 2009 at 20:37 said:

I’ll put this in early, can we do a CrossFit Total on March 7th? I’m going to do one myself anyway but it’d be fun to have it at the gym instead.

My reasoning being that I’m getting off for my mid-term field break on the 6th but I won’t be going out due to work so I’ll be good to go on Saturday. I want to see the progress of my Starting Strength efforts and get a new set of 1RM PRs!

Tom Gannon on February 17, 2009 at 11:03 said:

Good work on Will for coaching last night, the tips at the ned helped me through those last few push presses,

What does FSS mean……. I can think of a few suggerstions but I reckon my old friend the spam filter will not allow them
Tom Gannon on February 17, 2009 at 11:04 said:

*at the ned……. End
Colm on February 17, 2009 at 11:28 said:

FSS = Full Squat Snatch
Paul on February 18, 2009 at 15:40 said:

I’d like to point out that that 40kg snatch was a personal best for me and i’m pretty happy with it. (No matter how fugly it looked)
