Study examines the power of exercise to prevent breast cancer
"A new federally funded University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine study aims to learn whether women at high risk of breast cancer can use exercise to meaningfully reduce their risk of getting the disease. Building on evidence that reducing estrogen in the body reduces cancer risk, and that elite female athletes experience a drop in estrogen levels that often cause them to stop ovulating and menstruating, the WISER Sister trial will investigate two different levels of regular treadmill exercise as a possible intervention for breast cancer risk reduction. . .

Great 6am class...800m +plyo warm up....I was a little feisty this morning...Overhead squats are tough..but everyone had great effort. After the WOD we did a 6 min obstacle course with tire hops, partner med ball sit-ups and GHD WAR w/ #20 med ball. After we did our usual 400m cool down.....Great start to the week people!!!
Thanks again for the well wishes and kind words.

Just to add to Jimmy's post about thismorning's Overhead Squat workout.... Carry is officially "Superwoman". If I am not mistaking, she was cranking out sets of 5 with 95 lb.
Good stuff with the obstacle course Jimmy.

Great picture today: "Peace" is the caption.
In Spanish, it's pronounced "Hah-say"
Welcome to the "world of worry," Kelly and Jimmy. Congratulations.

Thank you Adam....I was doing 105 X 5.....a PR! I love OHS. Best core/shoulder work out ever.
I think it may help me with my back squat which is real ugly because I lean forward too much.

930 class- it was just me, Jas, and Julie....Great girls to work with! I love the push! Then they did the Tabata WOD from yesterday together..Really cool to see them doing KB swings at the same speed...
1030 class was a pinch bigger.. i was very impressed to see everyone focused way more on form than weight!! Tami has great form!! I can tell she practices hard! Tyren- was it #135?? With beautiful form!!
Jimmy and Kelly- My goodness he is GORGEOUS!!!! I agree with Carry...GREAT work Kelly! I truly cant wait to meet him! Yes, Mo...Future Grapplers Quest champ!!
Carry- #105!?!?! Savage!! I got to #95.. set a PR BUT was sure #95 was a good place to stop...one day!!

Posted by: JimmyG at April 13, 2009 1:42 PM
I can probably come to the fight night, Saturday. It will be a good dry run for the PPV.
Posted by: Mark L. at April 13, 2009 1:57 PM
REALLY JIMMY?!?!?! ONLY BOYS?!?! Geesh! I see how you are!!
Posted by: sarah at April 13, 2009 2:11 PM
Seeing as how the males are the shrinking minority at DCF, I think this will be a great affirmative action event for the guys to get together before we're banned from the gym, altogether.
I won't mention the recent DCF Ladies Night. I had a gold sequined spaghetti tank all picked out for the event, and my invitation never arrived. Heartbreaking, really.
Posted by: Mark L. at April 13, 2009 2:38 PM
Mark- I'm sure i emailed it to you! Stinking servers!! Did your shoes match your top?? =)
Posted by: sarah at April 13, 2009 2:45 PM
WOW....WHAT A BEA-UTIFUL BABY BOY...WATCH OUT OLIVE!! HE'S A LOOKER!!! I CAN SEE THAT JACE IS ALREADY VISUALIZING HIS OVERHEAD SQUATS....MUST BE SOMETHING HE LEARNED IN THE WOMB....NICE JOB KELLY...GREAT SWIMMER JIMMY!! HAHAHAHA
Posted by: Julie at April 13, 2009 2:47 PM
Congrats Jimmy and Kelly! He is beautiful! I hope you have a quick recovery and can get some sleep (probably not) :)

Did "Nate" for the first time ever:
2x muscle ups
4x handstand pushups
8x 70lb KB swings
Got 5 rounds + 2MU as Rx'd. Did the handstand pushups on the parallets to protect my left wrist.
Posted by: Mountain at April 13, 2009 4:48 PM
Then tried to do 30 muscle ups for time. Got 14 in under two minutes before gassing out. Had to bail after 17.
Did 100 air squats for time instead in 2:10. Before staring CrossFit, I could do 100 in 1:55. Of course, I was 20 lbs lighter then.
So, that's my testimonial. In nine months of CrossFit, I've gained 20 pounds and gotten slower. And I wouldn't trade it for the world.
Posted by: Mountain at April 13, 2009 5:22 PM
beautiful baby! Sounds like a rockstar birth too. Thanks for sharing with us and letting us enjoy your sweet little one.
May this early time be filled with joy and peace in the midst of all that is new. Lot's of mommies around if Kelly ever wants to chat... and just so you know.... if she ever thinks she's crazy, she's probably not ;) Or, maybe she is just a little, but it's totally normal!

Mountain, your 100 squat time comparison is unfair: before you started CrossFit, "Nate" was just a chain-smokin' friend of Rob, and "muscle up" was the push ups and curls you did before hitting the bars on Friday. "Got to muscle up before hittin' the bars.."
OHS 5x5: 135, 165, 185, 205, 205 + Annie: 9:23. Slow.

!!!F O R S A LE!!!
Original black an red DCF shirt size XL, this is vintage great quality stuff folks...you know you've always wanted an original DCF shirt
Posted by: Damen at April 13, 2009 8:11 PM
Craig will trade you for his medium.
Posted by: Stavros @ Diablo CrossFit at April 13, 2009 8:14 PM
Its a large, I just make it look like a medium.
Very funny...
Posted by: Craig at April 13, 2009 9:03 PM
Those old DCF shirts we returned to the makers because the print on those shirts sucked!!! Customers were returning them. So, I don't know what that company did with those shirts??? Damen where did you find them???
Posted by: Yvonne at April 13, 2009 9:03 PM
I was at Goodwill looking for some cool summertime tanks an I stumbled upon it. It's way too damn big for me but I felt bad leaving it there.
Posted by: Damen at April 13, 2009 9:32 PM
Got to 185 for 5 (sorry D-Roe), then went for 200 (not a PR, but definitely bodyweight).
After two failed attempts (one failing at the bottom, one missing the jerk into position), I got one, then failed on the second. Still fairly happy with the results. I had to use wrist braces for the 200lb attempts. The other reps were without wrist straps.
Damen - I believe that Jamie might want it (she is going to modify it). Bring it to the gym and I'll buy it off of you.

Posted by: Jeremy Jones at April 13, 2009 9:51 PM
I'll bring it but I'm not too worried about recouping my funds, let me get a deadlift seminar.
Posted by: Damen at April 13, 2009 10:03 PM
I don't know if I am willing to spend 18 - 36 hours trying to fix your deadlifts just for a t-shirt.

Posted by: Jeremy Jones at April 13, 2009 11:26 PM
Thats hilarious & cruel, jj.
