The Titus















-News-

Todays workout is dedicated to the birthday of Titus, someone who's been following the blog for a while and just because your not in Adelaide doesnt mean you wont get a workout with your name on in and having other's curse you as they suffer through it. Btw I didnt have an age to work with so going with a BW theme.
New website is almost together, it is working just sorting out a couple of minor cosmetic issues and getting the content in and it will all be good to go. Dont forget the Greenbelt Run this Sunday, if anyone is interested in carpooling up to the start line from the city, either leave a comment here or pop your name up on the board at the gym.

27:00 flat (61.2kg)

WOW! New found respect for the BW squat clean, man what a functionally painful, beautiful exercise. And you are correct the 60kg squat clean makes for some serious laughs and stares from all the muscle headed traditional lifting galoots at the school gym. Thanks Ben that one caused a lovely hurt on my 27th birthday and by the end I was cursing my own name and the inventor of the killer wod.

No Rob, no mystical crossfit being here though by the end of this workout I did wish I had some sort of Herculean ability so as not to look like a panting sniveling girl. (I mean no offence to the ladies of crossfit seeing as a few of you could kick my weak ass in quite a few of these devilish workouts)

Great post full of useful tips! My site is fairly new and I am also having a hard time getting my readers to leave comments. Analytics shows they are coming to the site but I have a feeling “nobody wants to be first”.
