ummm, that guy scares me. he sounds hungry.

i would LOVE to do helen, but taking it easy this week. dang it.

First time I’ve done Helen RX. Made the jump from red-band assisted to what was likely a pretty ugly kip.

At any rate, finally got to put a time on the board…9:11.

220 front squat x 5. 8.2? rx’d on wod…hope to break 8 in the next couple of months. Liked doing WOD first then lift, though I felt like passing out

oh, ps – the 8:30 and 11:30 classes did an AWESOME job at helen. matt’s feet are fast.

The Helen tradition returns, YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH!!! I think she’s going to break me off like she used to back in the day, but eh, screw it- let’s go B@*#%!

As a sidenote, when I first came to the gym a (gulp) year ago, we used to do Helen on the first of every month as a sort of benchmark of how you were doing, so I’m glad she’s back today on the first.

Thanks Greg, I’ve been a great mood all day for finally doing a freaking WOD with pull-ups RX.

Did want to chime about the order of WOD vs weights. I guess ours was the only class to do the squats first and, frankly, I’m sort of glad we did. I guess it may have made it a bit tougher/slower having just done those squats, I can’t help but think that my squats would have suffered more post Helen, than my Helen did, post squats.

Just one man’s opinion.

Jeff — there’s a link for the Rogue shoes that a lot of us have if you go to our “store” tab….they run about $110 with shipping

You could also look at VS Athletics — these are generally only about $80. There are more expensive “serious” shoes from Adidas and Nike
