So I was visiting my Mom in Madison for the last week, but that didn’t stop me from working out! Her old gym (she doesn’t crossfit anymore, sad face) is called CrossFit Connex, and they are a fantastic box! They have always welcomed me with open arms and let me WOD whenever I’m in town.…
This WOD was like Fran on crack. I wasn’t planning on RXing anything, but after my pull ups victory on Saturday, I had to go in and try to RX this one! And I did. FUCK YES. WOD: 4 Minute AMRAP21 – Thrusters (95/65)21 – Pull ups2 Minute Rest 3 Minute AMRAP15 – Thrusters (95/65)15…
I say it’s a day I’ll never forget.. It’s the day I did more than 1 kipping pull up. Because it was the day after the 4th, everyone was smashed from the night before, except for literally a handful of people. Only about 10-15 people showed up to the Saturday WOD, which is unheard of,…

I brought a friend! I think she underestimated the intensity of crossfit, and was rather surprised by it. It was a great WOD though, but I don’t think she’ll be signing up or coming back. 🙁 I think I’m going to stop allowing people to come with me, unless they already know what to expect.…
Well, I’ve done a previous 1RM of 255 for my back squat, but that wasn’t since last year before we moved to our new facilities! I did that 1RM again, and it was for sure legit, and it was witnessed by others! Good enough for the board at 255. We’ll be doing official 1RM again…
Oh Kalsu. I have done Kalsu 3 times now. Ever. Kalsu is a milestone for me, as it was the first ever WOD I did at CrossFit Total Control. So.. what is Hero Kalsu? Kalsu On the minute:Complete 5 burpees and perform max rep 135 lbs thrusters on the minute. (95lbs for women)The goal is…
Good lord, what is happening to me? RXed another WOD, so awesome! It was the following: WOD: 9 Minute Ladder 5 – Wall Balls (20/16)2 – Box Jumps (30/24)*Add two box jumps each round. I got through my 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, and then did my 5 wall balls and 11 box…
Well, all day, as in for the 13 minutes that the WOD lasted, but STILL. I RXed it! Happy. And goddamn it, I will boast about it every chance I get! I hadn’t been since last week, and I was READY. My hands are finally feeling and looking better, and I was ready for this…
