Had a bit of the flu and don't have a chin up bar so I did yesterdays WOD at home followed by some bench.
Grace - Rxd 2min 20sec (PB by 14sec) Next stop under 2 minutes. Hopefully get in tomorrow for a hearty dose of 5am because no CFB is as like planking (for knobs).

Was rxd omitted from the end of my score or just left off? If any of my movements were not considered full range then I need to know so can fine tune and improve the quality of my movements.
Much love,

As I missed the morning WOD (unable to squat still) I took the opportunity to have a crack at one of the CFN standards during my lunch break.
2.5km row in 9:15
2km split was 7:24 (CFN standard for intermediate athlete 7:30 for 2km)
Next stop is 6km in under 21:45 for advanced athlete standard (approximately 1:49 500m splits) but considering my average 500m splits for 2.5km was 1:51 I still have a long long way to go.

First up HAPPY BIRTHDAY WENDY!!!!!
Secondly, my 1 rep max was only 102.5kg (not 120) this morning and due a brain fade (poor technique) I dropped the weight back down for the last few sets to try and correct some pretty ordinary lifting (sorry Matt).
Lunch time WOD

Keep your chin up Brad! From personal experience when Danny calls you out it’s because
1) He knows your better that and
2) He wants to help make you a better athlete through correct technique, range of movement etc ect.
I had a similar moment about 12 months ago during Cindy (I think) and I was getting called for my chest not hitting the ground on my push ups. Now at first I got upset and thought that my push ups were legitimate, but in reality they were sloppy and whilst my stomach was hitting the ground the trainer could almost fit a clenched fist between my chest and the ground at the bottom of my push up. As a result, my push ups are pretty solid and (after a lot of work at home) I’m confident to write RXD based on them when required. Now when I look back at that day (which is every time I can feel my form slipping) I’m thankful that I train in a place were all the trainers are looking out for you and actively trying to make you fitter, stronger and more precise.
I hope this didn’t come across the wrong way mate but I was in the same shoes about a year ago and in hindsight that little reality check did me the world of good.
Love Baby John

Thanks to day care I've been crook this week so I did today’s WOD at home barefoot in the backyard after walking the dog work and managed 13:25 RXD. It’s just not the same flying solo, hopefully I’ll be in at 5am tomorrow for crossfit and coffee.
Rodger if I'm in your condition at your age I’ll be over the moon. It's blokes like you that inspire the younger guys like me to train hard and keep pushing our boundaries.

Loved the WOD today Matt (even though my quads are still burning)! I’ve been coming for quite a while now and we haven’t done anything like that before, but like said real life doesn’t lay easy to pick Olympic plates or balls of metal with conveniently placed handles in front of you. Just last weekend I did some brick work at home and when I picked up the 20kg bags of mortar at bunnings the first thing that went through my head was “this is way heavier than a 20kg plate”, obviously it wasn’t but because it was awkward to pick up it felt 5-10kg heavier.
Also cheers Jimmy for your help this morning mate!
