Yes, I used the word "porn" on our blog. I've made reference to "food porn" in the past, so this shouldn't be too surprising. Here, I'll say it again: PORN. We had a huge ladies only class last night, and it was absolutely a blast. We listened to our girly sound tracks, Brittany put on her tall socks, Leslie donned her gloves, and away we went!
The strength work was:
Snatch 3-2-1-1-1
Followed by a metcon:
5 rounds for time
15 dead lifts (50% of your SRM)
30 double unders
Let me just say that my ladies class DOMINATED this workout. Not just because they looked so darn cute doing it, but because...well....THEY LOOKED DARN CUTE DOING IT! Nothing gets me more excited than feeling the good girl vibes flowing through the Fort. It got me day dreaming about a world where ALL women lifted weights, and CrossFit was a female dominated sport. Can you imagine? What if things were reversed, and 99% of all CrossFitters were women. Would men be hesitant to participate? Would they be worried that lifting weights and doing all those burpees would give them boobs?
EAT YOUR HEART OUT BOYS! Here's 13 beautiful women WITH BARBELLS.
Take a look at these two photos. You'll notice that no two of our ladies are the same. They're as unique and beautiful as snow flakes, and that's what makes this such a great program. It's not just for uber athletes, or workout fanatics; it's for stay at home moms, teachers, police officers, medical assistants, sales women, nursing moms, and beyond.

I mean seriously, does it get any better than this?
And shut the front door already! Looks to me like Brit's sandbagging. Looks like 40K on that bar and I believe her 1RM is over 100K? Hrmmm?
Oh yeah, I'm calling you out momma...

Wow, is that a ladies class record. Reminds me of a large guys only class we had awhile back where I believe the picture jennie used for us was the toilet. Not exactly as graceful but whom am I kidding, we're guys. I'm totally with Dave and Tom that it doesn't get any better than this, I've always thought that ladies at the gym spend way too much time pounding the treadmill when they should be jackin' steel. In a word: SWEET
by the way props to super-dave for his memory skills

Those are 15kg plates on that 20kg bar, thank you very much Tommy Mo.
There was no sandbagging last night.
