Shhh! You’ll hurt Kalsu’s feelings!

June 24th, 2010, by

Now you guys....if you keep saying all those bad things about Kalsu, he's going to get a complex! Kalsu was our metcon yesterday, and it's 100 thrusters for time. Oh, but with the added bonus that every minute I'm going to stop you and make you do 5 burpees.

Ouch.

Even though a LOT of you knew what the workout was, you still chose to come and give it your best shot. I'm proud of you guys! Even Tommy Mo, who said "I would rather be shot in the butt than to do Kalsu ever again", made it to the Fort yesterday. Love what you hate, and hate what you love as Garth would say!

It's not so much the thrusters that make this workout horrible, it's the impossibly heavy prescribed weights. Prescribed weights are 40kg's for the ladies and 60kg's for the men. Only Zachamole was brave enough to try this at the RX'd weight, and he admits that after the first round he knew it wasn't such a good idea.

Great job to everyone for enduring this workout! I promise we only do this twice a year, so you won't see Mr. Kalsu again for about 6 months. Josh Tran wins for best quote of the day. We cut everyone off after 20:00, or 20 rounds of this workout, and after Bill did the math and filled him in on the fact that he had to do 100 burpees, Josh replies:,

"Well, I knew I was going to do 100 of something today."

You can see the regret on his face...

    Great job everyone!!! I wish I could have joined you in this misery but Wild Bill is helping me fight through some injuries right now. Everyone in the 5pm class yesterday did an AWESOME job.

    Technically, that's not my official quote but that's close enough, Jennie. Thank you for cleaning up my inappropriate comment. :)

    I was there to witness Zachamole giving all he had on this for 20:00. Torture or not, the guy got after it and gave it hell. Tall respect, Zach. Inspiring performance.

    On a closing note, Pete, I'm sorry you couldn't endure the pain with all of us. However, selfishly, I still enjoyed watching you give that exercise bike hell. HA! (kidding pal!)

    Dude, this one was almost the end of me, I'm not sure what it was but I had nothing. Even doing 1-2 burpees and 1-2 thrusters was about all I had. That was a long 20 minutes..Great job everyone

    By the way Shaffer, nice job leaving without cleaning up your barbell. Since it was 30kg's worth of stuff I had to put away, you owe me 30 burpees. :-)

    ...ANOTHER side effect of Kalsu. Not only does it trash you physically, it trashes you mentally so bad that you leave completely disoriented forgetting things.

    - I forgot my shoes and iPod.
    - ShaffDog forgot to clean up.

    Don't hate the playa's Jennie, hate the game.

    Wow, I totally didn't know that, well thanks for picking up. I'm just glad I wasn't the only one who didn't know their head from there butt. I also left my jump rope there as well.

    I agree with Tommy Mo, hate the game, son!

    Tommy.... really. You would rather get shot in the butt. I can help you with that
