Pushup Challenge

Posted on June 26, 2008 by Jason

I’m going to try and get some afternoon posts in if I have the time, hopefully to make the site more organized and each post less wordy, and give me less to remember by the time I get to my computer every night…it’s really just a ploy to get all of you to check the site more often. 

The nooners did the 20 minute pushup challenge with great success.  At first MJ was not thrilled that this was “all” we’d be doing, but with a little encouragement and razzing she hopped on the bandwagon.

Everyone set a pace for themselves, Ryan started with 15 every minute, but soon realized he had bit off more than he could chew.  Everyone was going a little slower by the end, but pushed themselves (literally) as hard as they could.  Surprisingly at the end a few folks said their core was the most sore, which is great, meaning you are keeping the mid-line stabilized and going core to extremity, perfect form.

For those of you not in the know.  This challenge was created by BIll Patton of Logsitall.com.  Every month he will post a new challenge.  You don’t have to register with logsitall to compete, but you won’t be in the standings, as of this minute our very own John Johnson is #10.  I encourage everyone to register and post their scores daily, they then list the top 20 men and women for all WODs and it is very easy to use.  You can put that you train at Albany CrossFit and we can represent.  It is free and there is no spam, I am a member, check it out.

ACF Standings:
Noreen – 232
Ryan – 224
MJ – 214
Thunder John – 135
Camille – 135
Id – 135

Another Suck List Success Story!  Noreen hit her first Double Under!  Great job!

Funny story from Dave Garvey.  He came into the room today and was complaining that his whole body was sore…he said from “Crash Test Dummies”.  I said that is perfect, what do you think you would feel like if you drove a car into a brick wall?
