Some thoughts on our Barbells For Boobs event

Question of the Day: How did you handle Halloween? Do you just eat the candy and call it a cheat day? Do you hand out beef Jerky and almonds to the kids who knock on your door? How do you keep your kids from running on pixie sticks for the next few days?

Having to adjust the GHD machine for each movement cost me a round or two potentially, but it still burned.

I noticed the very same thing!!! Although I did not know the details in the difference between the two.

Crossfit Smash in Canberra, Australia

Nice small affiliate with a great coach. He is level 2 Olympic lift certified. Critiqued my form on clean and SDHP, which isn't hard to do.

Five rounds:
400m run
9 KB swings @ 32kg
12 clean and jerk @ 24kg
15 SDHP @24kg

= 4 rounds +400m +9 in 30 minute cutoff

My back was crispy fried. Learned (once again) that I fail to lock my abs on these movements, which forces all the structure to be in my back, which wears out quickly, which means I end up a mess. Tough WOD. I'll be going back Thursday morning at 6am.

Don't worry, tomorrow is going to be great! (I'm 16 hours ahead of you guys).

Man! Too many WB misses and some new moves for me today (and yesterday). Gotta start somewhere days but hey I am giving it my all. :p

10+24
Lower back started hurting about 4 rounds in and made the wallballs and back extensions really suck. Probably should have moved the ghd closer to the wallballs because the jog in between really wasn't much fun.

Justin says:

Congrats to Tasha and Mike

Much needed rest day for me. I enjoyed the article on Barbell for Boob thoughts....I was totally thinking the same thing.

QOD:

I'm not much for candy these days, so it's not hard for me to avoid it. I would much rather have some good dark chocolate. As far as Baylor goes, we introduced him to the Great Pumpkin (or GP as I like to call him). If you leave your candy for GP he will bring you a prize. Baylor got a skateboard. In our house, a broken leg from a failed ollie is always better than eating a crap load of candy :)

Emily D. says:

November 2, 2010 at 3:05 am

We were the grumps that turned our lights off this year...but next year jerky and almonds may be a good idea ;)

AWESOME idea with the Great Pumpkin!!!

KLowe says:

November 2, 2010 at 3:18 am

Yeah. I tried the "great pumpkin" thing this morning with Julian and his candy. He answer was. "I don't like him or that he wants my candy".....So since I was leaving for work anyway and didn't have to deal with the forthcoming scream fest. I just took all of the candy and threw it away. Problem solved. Daddy is mean. Boo-Hoo.

11 rounds +5 wall balls

Luckily, Kristi told me about GP. Campbell was soo excited! While she was in the bath, he came and ate her candy in our front bushes (russell left a trail of wrappers) and left a present in it's place. Afteropening her prize and then staring at the empty wrappers, Campbell said "Where did the Great Pumpkin go? Find him! I want my candy back!!!". It was hysterical!!! After a minute or two, she forgot about the candy and hasnt mentioned it again. She has; however, asked about GP about 600 times! She loves him!!! Great idea Robert and Kristi!

Penelope says:

November 2, 2010 at 4:07 am

6 + 8 (rx'd reps, 14# WBs to the line, not over)

Tommy - In case you see this, we are bringing Sara-Kate's soccer team for their year end party at 7pm tonight - will call ahead and hope to see you there!

CONGRATS to Tasha and Wiley from everyone at CFHSV!!! Everyone was anxiously awaiting Addisons arrival and we are all so happy she is here and that you both are doing well!

I'm going to post stats and a picture in the news section of the website later today.

And Kevin, your response to the QOD was hilarious!

Amanda gave us the idea. We just took it to the next level.

Josh says:

November 2, 2010 at 4:59 am

Julian is a pretty hilarious little dude, seems pretty adept at seeing right through his fathers trickery!

AmandaJ says:

November 2, 2010 at 6:21 am

You can thank my oldest sister for The Great Pumpkin idea :) She did it for her two girls and it always worked. I think the cool part is she would give them the CHOICE to leave it or not and magically they always chose to leave it!

When I was a kid...I did my share of partaking-don't get my wrong, but it was more about how long I could keep my candy from my 4 older siblings rather than about me eating it. I also liked to dump it all out and categorize it by type (yes I was/am a freak) then come February the games got old and I'd throw it away.

AmandaJ says:

November 2, 2010 at 6:23 am

Wow!!! Hahah...I think part of the key to the GP is the build up. You have to start talking about it in advance to get them geared up to make the "right" choice...lol

AmandaJ says:

November 2, 2010 at 6:24 am

Cool!!! Glad it worked! And good idea on the candy wrapper trail!!

I didn't know there was another way. :)

Great job, Jake!

Kristi Simmons says:

November 2, 2010 at 7:11 am

I never say "LOL", but I literally just LOL'd!!!

Kristi Simmons says:

November 2, 2010 at 7:13 am

Again...LOL!! I just literally LOL'd..."want my candy back" Kids are awesome!

9 + 10 wallballs

20# wall ball - 10 reps
GHD Situps - scaled to 5 reps
Back extensions - scaled to 5 reps

* This is the first time I have done the GHD situps and back extensions in a WOD - only scaled the reps and not the movement.

KLowe says:

November 2, 2010 at 7:45 am

15 + 14
I love and hate WODing next to Jake...but we are both wrecked and better for the competition.

Driving home with a locked up back was fun.

"russell left a trail of wrappers"

-I've seen Russell on a sugar high before. It is not a pretty site....and I'm sure he ate that candy to produce empty wrappers.

Russell berger says:

November 2, 2010 at 8:19 am

Hey we also need to congratulate Nate and Lynn Curry for their new baby! Quinn was born a few days ago!.. and what a great name....

Emily D. says:

November 2, 2010 at 8:46 am

Russell on a sugar high...interesting to see I am sure ;)

KLowe says:

November 2, 2010 at 8:58 am

yeah....the really scary thing was he was driving at the same time. I just kept repeating "He's a Ranger....He survived Iraq....we're gonna get through this....."

Kerri says:

November 2, 2010 at 9:16 am

Congrats guys!! Didn't know Baby Quinn had arrived...
Yay!!!

katieg says:

What's even funnier than Russell on a sugar high is Russell drinking!! :-)

9 + 12
Every 1st rep of GHDs from round 5+ felt like a dagger in my core. Whew... still feeling it 4 hours later!

I am letting my kids have a couple pieces a day... one in their lunch box and one afterschool. I am too much of a wuss to throw it all away!! But at least this year I am NOT eating it!! :)

katieg says:

November 2, 2010 at 9:44 am

YAY NATE AND LYNN AND BABY QUINN!!

Nate... if u are reading this, PLEASE let me bring you guys over a meal. Email me or call me... [email protected] and (352) 514-6703. If you guys don't already have a meal group going, I would be happy to organize one!!

Fantastic News! CFHSV family grows!

Robert S. says:

11+1 as rx'd

Wallballs kicked my ass a couple of days ago, and Tracey (aka COL Rauer's wife) :) gave me some good coaching tips that I applied today. This plus getting my breathing right made all of the difference.

Robert S. says:

November 2, 2010 at 11:38 am

Congrats! Look out 2035 Affiliate Cup. The CFHSV babies are coming!

Karen says:

November 2, 2010 at 11:55 am

11+4. Had to keep up with Craig! Thanks again, Tommy, for letting me on the GHD!

CONGRATULATIONS to Tasha and Mike and Nate and Lynn! How awesome for both of your families!

As for the candy, out of sight is out of mind! I'd put the candy away in a cupboard so that the kids couldn't see. After a couple of days, they moved on to other things and forgot about the candy. Mom usually didn't though and would sample pieces. :) After a longer bit, I'd carry them to work or throw it out. The GP is a cute idea! This year I will admit to "sampling" for a couple of days leading up to Halloween, but I tried to keep the rest of my diet really clean. Then, once again, out of sight, out of mind!

Emily D. says:

Rx'd 8+10

Had a crazy allergic reaction the last round...throat started swelling up....made wallballs suck that much more

Garrett D says:

November 2, 2010 at 12:08 pm
