PAINSTORM…’nuff said
December 1, 2007
What an eventful Friday. It started off great, we had an excellent noon class. Sue hit a PR with a 95lb. squat at full depth, check out her butt touching the ball!
We had Gwen doing great squats as well, with a little assistance from the bar she got very deep. John and Nina came in. John did "Ivan" for 13 rounds, and then a modified Cindy for Nina’s first every WOD. She did great, hitting 10 rounds!
Sometime between 1pm and 3pm things went awfully wrong. It all started with a Post from Luke that he wanted to do a Painstorm. Things escalated as others agreed and were even enthusiastic about the idea (except for Jess). From there I lost control of Albany CrossFit and Luke created…PAINSTORM XXXI aka, "31 Flavors of Variable Variability" or just "31Flavors of Death" As everyone strolled in nervously we approached this nutty concoction and conquered it! Everyone did amazing, we pushed eachother through and did it!
For those of you interested in the entire routine go to – http://www.board.crossfit.com/showthread.php?p=222493#post222493 and go to post #258. But be warned you may get tired just from reading it!
After we all had tons of fun at the Cheesecake Factory, John J. was nice enough to hold a table for us. Everyone ate a perfect Paleo or Zone diet, and no one had a sip of alcohol…that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
After a long day like that you’d think these people would want a day off, NO!!! After a quick WOD, Jess L., Ted, Chris, and Luke all hit PRs on their Deadlifts. Jess hit 160lb. up from 135, Ted and Chris both pulled 315lb. and Luke hit 405lb. Great job to all 4 of you! After we had a nice friendly game of solitaire Dodgeball, where Luke targeted all the women first and Ted knocked Sue right off her feet…but all in good fun.

Way to go Nina!!!!!
You’d have to wonder how anybody could knock me off my feet with that itty bitty ball, considering the substantial nature of that butt being lowered onto that ball.
Holy Backside, Batman! I need to do more squats!
