Manimals
For time:
100 "man-imals" 25/45 (see photos below)
Post time to comments
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To perform one "man-imal" begin by dropping a weight 25f/45m on the floor.
Perform the beginning phase of a burpee on the weight.
On the "up" phase of your burpee pick up your weight and loft it over your head.
From this position, keep the weight lofted and perform a walking lunge step with each leg
Upon completion of the lunge steps, throw weight on the ground, jump over it,...
Turn around, and start over - that is ONCE.
That look of FEAR in Meg's eyes is because I just told her the workout - GOOD LUCK ALL!
a HUGE shout out to the 5:00 AMers! thank you so much for finding my ring and returning it to me!! i still think you are a little bit crazy for getting up so early, but at least you are a good kind of crazy and not scatter brained! THANKS!!!

22:59 Good times. So if that is a "manimal", what is a "womanimal"? I am sure I will regret asking.

30:43 all 100--last time only got 87 in about the same time.
I think this workout should be called Inigo Montoya.
As in "My name Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. PREPARE TO DIE"

Rest day for me (feeling major guilt about not pushin' through this with the 5:45 class today...). Leah (my favorite youngest sister!) - welcome to the YAK club!!
Judy, you are hilarious. LOVE it!!

Russ, don't give him any ideas!!!!!
20:49 today, almost 6 min faster than last time but last time I did it at the Embassy Suites in Baltimore. Much funner doing it with a room full of other crazies.
Judy, I like that...classic.

Found out this morning I had carpool so had to leave early from the workout. Lost count but was 17 min. into the workout. Next time I will be ready to conquer!

oh....Celesta dogged me...she better show up at 12:00!
Posted by: Keri | 02/04/2010 at 09:56 AM
I am sitting here reading this at 11:55. I'm in trouble! I could list all of my excuses but I know they won't mean anything! Does it count if I do it at home on my own? Crap!

Who's making the new “I wana be like Courtney” shirts? Troy?
13 MINUTES MAN ARMS??? Dave does she do these work outs twice a day? Sorry to bring back an old verbiage but that's just SICK and WRONG! FYI - That is averaging 1 every 7.8 seconds compared to an AMAZING 11 second average (Troy)!! Neil do some people not experience plateau's? Even if I could go psycho with every work out I don't think I would see those type of results! Honestly, I am just WAY jealous!! I just hope someday I get man arms too!

What makes you different for Crossfit?

Last night I was cursing your name Neil. This week has been a killer for me. I haven't been this sore since when I started FZN. I pushed through this HELLISH workout and finished in 20:55. That was over 2 minutes faster than last time. How the hell Court do you finish in 13 minutes?
