I recently introduced Yosh to Twitter (@YoshRX in case you’re interested in following his tweets) and as I was showing him all of the nifty CrossFit accounts to follow I thought I’d share them with you!
Now I’m not the biggest Twitter fan, but I do like to follow a few accounts for a good laugh or some interesting information. Again Faster (@AgainFaster) tweets their stories as well as online deals for their website. CrossFit Endurace (@CFEndurance) tweets Endurance WODs. Whole Foods (@WholeFoods) tweets special deals they have for the week as well as recipe ideas! Rich Froning (@rich_froning) and Spencer Hendel (@Spec1414) also post their workouts to shame the rest of the twitter universe. The CrossFit Games (@CrossFitGames) posted all the Open workouts as well as up-to-date info throughout each weekend and people responded with their reactions….needless to say there was a bit of twitter outrage after 12.1 was released.
In my opinion, the two most entertaining accounts are “Crossfit Problems” (@CrossfitProblms) and “Crossfit Barbie” (@xFitBarbie). Do you guys have any favorite accounts? If you don’t have twitter consider this, even Coach Burgener has an account (@coachburgener).
Editor’s note: If you’ve met Yosh, his Twitter feed is hilarious. Also, I’ve been remiss in the maintenance of the CrossFit Fenway account, and I apologize.

Strength:
Snatch Deadlift 3-3-3-3-3
WOD:
150 Push-ups
*You may rest in a pike position (the top of a push-up), but once you cannot do push-ups any longer and need to rest on the ground, a penalty is counted and you must immediately sprint 40 yards. Once the penalty is completed continue with the push-ups.
Tim Pennell is running the Boston Marathon as a member of the MassGeneral Marathon Team. As part of the team he’s raising $5,000 for the MassGeneral Hospital for Children Cancer Center. Donations will support a variety of patient care programs, including Child-Life which uses music and art therapy to help children and their families cope emotionally and developmentally with their illnesses. Please consider donating $26 – $1 for every mile he runs. Here’s Tim’s fundraising page. CrossFit has been an integral part of his training, so you know Tim’s going to kick some serious ass for a great cause.







I don’t really do the Twitter, but I enjoy putting hashtags in front of words.

I’m not a huge Twitter user, but I’ll definitely add some of those.
@TrapezeTrombone
Snatch DL: 80kg (should’ve gone higher)
WOD: 12:25 Rx
Fun one.
Snatch DL: 80kg (worked on form with Sam and *think* i made progress, but the next DL session will tell)
WOD: 16:52 Rx
Great post! I have a crossfit list going if anyone wants a bunch of CF follows all in one:
https://twitter.com/#!/shooley/crossfit
Snatch DL: 100kg
WOD: 14:06 (scaled pushups after 20)
Snatch DL: 80kg
WOD: 12:58 Rx.
@DanielPhipps
Snatch DL: 100kg (working on form: slow and steady pull, and fast acceleration after bar passes knees)
WOD: 9:08 Rx
Snatch DL: 60k
WOD: 15:51, push ups from knees
Around number 80, my arm upper body muscles started to feel like a useless steak-suit. This one was way more interesting than I thought it was going to be!
Snatch DL: 55kg, but really 45 kg for form!
WOD: 99 push-ups in 20 min. I shouldn’t have held out so long to go to the runs, but I wouldn’t have made it under the cap even if I did. This was really tough!
Snatch DL: 120 KG
WOD: 8:33 RX
