What? You guys didn't like the music yesterday? We were simply trying to be in the St. Patrick's day spirit! Sheesh. Bill made me workout to that music on my lunch break, and I found it completely inspiring. I pictured little leprechauns chasing me during the entire workout, and that kept me moving!
The workout yesterday was:
7 rounds for time
7 push press (60kg/40kg)
14 pull-ups
As Mariah said, "7 rounds? What happened to 5 rounds?!" Well, the truth is that our confidence in all of you has increased, and as a reward we decided to start making the workouts more challenging. See? We love you guys THAT MUCH.
At the end of this workout, most everyone felt the burn in their grip. Yes, grip IS a body part. We had a lot of fun in the ladies class - we welcomed Erika to her first CrossFit workout! I hope your arms and shoulders are ok today girl...if you need help, just post to the comments and mash the keyboard with your face....I'll come help you lift your arms above your head! We have had people tell us that they went WAY too hard their first week, and ended up having their t-shirt cut off them with a scissor by their spouse. PLEASE take it easy for a while until you're accustomed to the program.

Erin, you're only allowed to wear gloves if they match your PURSE.
