My apologies in advance to your quads. This is going to burn them more than it’s going to burn me. Actually, while testing Tuesday’s workout I was somewhat surprised by which part ended up being the worst/least comfortable. Come in Tuesday for the firsthand experience, and embrace your inner Quadzilla.

Those bear crawls, YIKES. Much tougher than I first thought and probably one of the least graceful CrossFit movements. Way to power through 6am!
Front Squat: 60kg, went pretty fast!
WOD: 12:31 @ 30 lb dumbbells
I don’t want to talk about the bearcrawls or how I counted wrong. Made up for it in the last round though. I just wanted to feel what it would be like to finish with Fitzy!
Great warm up, Eri Lynne! And great class!
*bear crawls.
Can’t work in educational publishing and spell wrong. Math, however, is a different story.
Front Squat: 77kg (PR on 4×4)
WOD: 11:30 (@ 35#)
So. Many. Bear crawls…RAWR
Front Squat: 80kg – PR 4×4
WOD: 17:08 – Still have pain when push pressing, switched up to dumbbell cleans.
Let me tell you about bear crawls. Looks easy but at 200′ x 4 it burned me out. Was not expecting that this morning but it was FUN!
FS: 55kg x 4, 60kg x 3 — front squat remains to be my least favorite thing ever. inside and outside of crossfit.
WOD: 10:40rx @ 30# DB — thanks schmerika for the bear crawl advice
60KG front squat – worked on form, thanks to Erika for pointing out a major flaw.
WOD: 19:06 @35# db
Front Squat – 135kg
WOD – 14:59 Rx Holy crap! I couldn’t even do the first bear crawl after those front squats! This was an unexpected (though warned) melt down during a WOD. Now I’m off to fret more about the Garage Game WODs… http://crossfitnewengland.com/2012/08/27/garage-games-events-2/
Front squat: 50 kg, 2 at 55 kg. I have a lot to work on with form, but thanks to Sam I have some tips on how tackle it.
WOD: 19:03? Bear crawl sucks and I ate too many munchkins today…
FS: 105kg, Did 115 but wasn’t getting depth.
WOD: 13:44 Rx – 50# DB’s
Bear Crawls were crazy tough.
FS: 75 kg
WOD: 10:39 Rx
fast 6pm class!
Front Squat 45kg
WOD: 15:37 – 25lbs DBs. Holy cow, bear crawls are no joke. I think I tried every way Mandy suggested and was struggling regardless.
FS: 45kg – wasn’t feeling well today so kept it light, but my previous 4-rep max is 48 so I’ll take that for an off day.
WOD: 13:14 – bear crawls are not a problem for me. I think I was some sort of demented animal in a previous life – the things I do best are rope climbs and bear crawls o_O Weird … just … weird.
Sam wouldn’t let me hop around like Gollum though. Probably for the best, cuz even though it was funny, it was a lot harder!
FS: 100kg
WOD: 10:56 @ 40# DB
Good job 6:30!
