GSX Crossfit: Monday June 15

Monday June 15

Press, 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1

Interesting facts concerning nose bleeds: HERE

"Perhaps the most well-known Epistaxis-related death was that of Attila the Hun. He drank a colossal amount of alcohol on his wedding night after his parley with Pope Leo I, suffered a nosebleed in his sleep and was suffocated by the blood."

New PR today by 8#!! I wish it was more but I am pretty excited about it. I think I am weighing in at 170# so it is a little over BW. Great job this morning everyone!; June 15, 2009 at 8:30 AM

ken c said...: huh, death by nose bleed. in a similar manner of death, john bonham (drummer for led zeppelin) drank a collosal amount of alcohol and later choked on his own vomit. on a related note, one of the drummers for spinal tap died by choking on someone else's vomit.

jason: nice pr dude! over body weight. impressive.; June 15, 2009 at 9:25 AM
scott said...: Great job on the pr Jason.

Mo said...: I am excited it about it Buzzard! Good job!!

Mine was almost my uhh assweight. Is that a measurement? Should be 'cause it is significant. 65 and I didn't try more to get to failure. Shoulda.; June 15, 2009 at 10:02 AM
Anonymous said...: hey....i like the assweight concept...butt (oops, pun) that would mean more weight for the girls and less for skinny butt guys! maybe i don't like that concept after all! i just want to do exercises that will LIFT it..I like mo's idea of hanging upside down...anything to fight gravity!!

Steven Willis said...: Buzzard nice job man. I'd be stoked to be able to press my body weight. I'm not sure if I'll get to come in today, I hope to be able to soooo maybe I'll see you guys in the evening class!; June 15, 2009 at 11:28 AM
Mo said...: In actuality all hanging upside down does is make the blood rush to your head. I mean that is what I've heard...uhh I think our only option is Spanks or maybe we'll have to develop Spanks with suspenders when things really go south.

Go Emily!; June 15, 2009 at 11:58 AM

Feeling pretty weak compared to some of you good pressers. Good job everybody at the 6pm class, it was hot on the skillet today!; June 15, 2009 at 7:52 PM
raif said...: did 210 press 2 weeks ago so decided to do sets of 5. 175.185.195(4).195(3). during rest for presses added 45's and did sets of 5 on squats. felt good to put some weight on these "how muchyabench" legs.

ps need to lose a little weight to do my bodyweight on press (3 lbs); June 15, 2009 at 8:37 PM
ChrisChev said...: Glad it was just presses today at 4.30 on the skillet....115,135, 155,160, 170 (no bueno), 160. first time to max out at presses. glad to have a weight to shoot for to beat..good job 4.30 class...; June 15, 2009 at 8:59 PM
Ali said...: I'm glad we're done having kids 'cause I think my eggs were fried on the skillet today (Raiford's my ghost writer on that one). Seriously, when are we going to get that tarp up? I'd bet there'd be a lot of takers at a "hang the tarp" party (it worked for the painting).; June 15, 2009 at 9:38 PM
ken c said...: wow what a great 6pm class today! 16 of you killers out there in the burning sun pressing heavy. saw some great efforts out there today. you guys did great!; June 15, 2009 at 9:39 PM
