C-5 Mafia Chips some Bodies 03-24-08
We had the whole station out tonight for a quick little chipper of high intensity body-weight work.
Spragger finished in 17:30 after a break at 13:43 for a run to the Tang Center for GASP! nausea and vomiting (the patient's, not Dave's). He finished after an untimed 150m warmup row.
The rest of the crew was spread out up to about 25 minutes. Based on the times I'll add to the next similar workout to reach my target of 20:00 to 30:00 for fastest to slowest.
Time for those serious about tracking progress to start CF journals... And for the trainers to keep their training notes up-to-date.

Probably our longest rowing workout. A total of 2k row with some pretty heavy weight work in between. Lookout station 2 softies, here we come.

Today's WOD is a classic benchmark workout.
Three rounds of:
Wall-ball, 20 pound ball, 10 ft target(Reps) 14 pound ball for Women
Sumo deadlift high-pull, 75 pounds(Reps) 53 pounds for Women
Box Jump, 20" box (Reps)
Push-press, 75 pounds (Reps) 53 pounds for Women
Row (Calories)
In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute.The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. On call of "rotate", the athletes must move to next station immediately for best score. One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is one point.
Scale the weight if need be but this workout is do-able at the Rx'd weight. Post score/total reps to comments. Have fun!

March 6th, 2008
Here we go, the start of the Berkeley Fire CrossFit Blog. As far as I know phase two should be starting soon. I know the A shift and the C shift have started working out already. If you want to start some workouts check out http://www.crossfit.com/ to get the workout of the day, or talk to your shift trainers. Remember that all workouts are scalable in weight and in reps. So what are you waiting for!
