Contraceptive Pill May Affect Women's Partner Choice
"Disturbing a woman's instinctive attraction to genetically different men could result in difficulties when trying to conceive, an increased risk of miscarriage and long intervals between pregnancies. Passing on a lack of diverse genes to a child could also weaken their immune system. . ."

JJ had his shirt off when we were doing presses and squats last week, and I was seeing a six pack on there! I guess that IF crap really works!
Last night, for my inaugural class (after completing JJ's grueling post-cert training program) was:
"Tabatas of Furey" **
7 Tabata Sprints (crokaert's street laps)
2 mins rest
7 Tabata Hindu Pushups (reps) **
2 mins rest
7 Tabata Jumping Pullups (reps)
2 mins rest
7 Tabata Sprints (laps)
1800
Tony 6 1/2, 49, 132, 5 1/2 = 193 (as Rx)
Ramon 4 1/2, 80, 79, 3 = 166.5 (scaled pu)
1900
Dan 3 3/4, 84, 92, 3 1/2 = 183.25 (scl'd pu)
Anne 3 1/4, 72, 84, 3 1/2 = 162.75 (scl'd pu)
** featuring the Hindu Pushup, a martial arts &
wrestling calisthenic mainstreamed by Matt Furey.
Dan showed up this morning (11 hours later) for a grueling workout from Jimmy G and performed well, again. I think Dan might be using "the clear". =)
We had 9 people in the 0600 class this morning! It was a major sweat party complete with sledgehammers, box jumps, SDHP, situps and farmer's carrys.

One round of Makimba made for a great warmup before today's workout. Thanks Sarah!
I hear Uncle Rhabdo recommends Beer Makimbas: same as the regular Makimbas, but chug a pint before each round. 20 mins, AMRAP.

FYI, Crossfitters with kiddies, I'm all signed up for Crossfit Kids on Aug 30, 31 in Ramona!
I knew there was a way I could leverage my 17+ years of youth ministry experience into a fitness thing, somehow!

Stav:
Please post tomorrow and let us know you're not in the hospital with Rhabdo.

Actually Mark, I much prefer "the cream" over "the clear".
Wait... that sounds bad, doesn't it... =( Nevermind.
Posted by: Dan G. at August 20, 2008 8:29 PM
Mark and Dan - you guys are cracking me up. I think the phrase "Too...much...information" comes to mind. :-)
I thought the lawsuit over this workout was some kind of joke until I read the legal complaint that was linked at the CrossFit HQ message boards. It's all fun and games until someone brings the lawyers out.

Nice work Stav! . . . but please do let us know if you Rhabdo (especially if you 6xRhabdo).
