I think I have the twin brother of that dog.... He prefers his rubber dumbbell and tire though!
I workout there! so proud!
Nice motivation to stay on the rope!!
How can you improve this K-9 Athlete's form on the rope pull? ;-)
This is what I love about crossfit... Great photo!
are the cleans in Elizabeth squat cleans or are power cleans allowed?
I love Christmas and Fran..... Good family

M/40/111/6'3"
Did Nancy to make up yesterday's WOD
20.41
Used 20kg barbell no weight
Dog's nicely centered, but needs to get just a little more weight on the front paws for stability. Rope further back in the jaws will really help once he goes for the big pull.
Really enjoyed the special on Christmas Abbott. She is quite a woman and a real tribute to what CrossFit can crossover into. How many Level I Seminar/Gun Owner/NASCAR Pit crew members CrossFitters are out there? She is awesome!
How could this dog improve it's efficiency in the rope pull?
WOW, makes me want to celebrate Christmas every day.
Absolutely gorgeous.
What a cool person, I would love to see her on the big stage one day.

#29 Is that an Ezekiel quote? (or just Pulp Fiction) :)
I subbed the rest day today with Abbate.
run 1 mile
21x 155# clean & jerk
run 800 meters
21x 155# clean & jerk
run 1 mile
clean and jerks were slow going until I realized it is a lot smarter to dip a little further and lock my elbows and then come up rather than trying to press it after not locking my elbows because I didn't go down far enough.

Good to see Grundler. Haven't seen much of him since the West Coast road trip video.
