Sunday
WOD Deadlift 5 sets of 3
Warmup… 20 lb vest. for all exercises 185 deadlift x10 chin up x5 40 lb Kettlebell snatch x5 per arm burpee x5 3 rounds, rest as needed
Then, against better judgment, Deadlift… 265 x3 225 x3 205 x3
This led me to go home and read Starting Strength’s section on deadlifting…again. My body is not built for this lift but in order to teach it I have to master it.

Dominic and Pete both pulled 365 x3, Dom hit 385 once. Way to go you compact f#$%ers. Pete then did 50 burpees in a blazing 2:06…way to GO!!!
Joe did 275 or something thrice on the DL and set a new PR in the mile run of 5:52.
In non lifting news…
MORE JERKY!!!

(yes, those are jerky funderwear…)

How to make jerky while you sleep (mostly)…
1 or 2 pounds top sirloin beef, thin sliced (ask the butcher) Any amount of any marinade/spice/sauce
Combine ingredients, let it soak fro as long as you feel appropriate. Pre heat oven to 175 degrees. Cover your bottom oven rack with foil and lay the beef out on the top rack Let it bake (dehydrate essentially) for 8-10 hours (I do this overnight and have a great snack for the whole family and friends the next day.) Remove and enjoy a tasty snack that has none of the preservatives of the store bought variety and twice the flavor at a quarter the cost. Not that this stuff will last, but don’t let it sit around for more than a week.

This week working on setting new goals (handstand push ups, 5 minute mile, 5k under 18:00, 7 muscle ups, and a few off in the distance that are not for immediate disclosure.
I have really noticed the balance of what we are doing with CrossFit, one persons strength is always another weakness. Closing these gaps and filling in the holes is hard, but satisfying. Yoga showed me I am not anywhere near where I want to be with flexibility. In good news, 5 year old Kaya did 10 single reps of pull ups hanging on the bar by herself today. A big acccomplishment.
Special recognition to Randy Ross for hitting a muscle up on the rings, Dan Binkowitz for bench pressing 205 lbs and Dominic Sirianni for Split jerking 240lbs, deadlifting 365lbs and getting two dead hang pull ups, all in one week!

One kilometer path in morningside park. I know, i know…it says .97, but the html code won’t loop it. Anyway, aimed for 45 minutes. It’s nice to run this distance in a park on grass but also with a marker so you can pace. Peter’s first 10k ever…”I’m glad that’s over”.
