Some of you have asked for an extension to get BEFORE pics submitted. We'll extend the submission of BEFORE pics until Friday at midnight. Cool... Okay...

More Challenge stuff... I have been asked by two folks about an extension for their opening workouts. Since this is your contest, I'll leave the decision up to you (think that is only fair, right)... So please vote in the comments -- YES or NO. The extension would give them until Dec 15th to complete the initial workouts; however, their pics must still be submitted before Friday's cut-off date. Again, this is your contest, vote in the comments section.

We will collect everyone's $5 ante this week, too. Give it to me or Coach Trav before Friday.

More...

DO YOUR JOURNALS! No ifs, ands, or buts... Each of your workouts (along with your meals) must be recorded in a written journal. No emails. No typed shit. I want to see you carrying your journals with you. It costs a buck for a composition notebook and pen. Do it. Remember, accountability starts with self.

I'm giving you all the week in advance. Why? The Challenge starts today. During the Challenge, certain aspects can and might be amended, but the point and scoring system will not change. (And no, you will not know about the point system until AFTER we have everyone's original workout numbers recorded. No sandbaggers allowed!)

MONDAY
"Cindy"

AMRAP in 20-minutes of:

5 Pull-ups
10 Push-ups
15 Squats

Post total rounds and band-assistance (if used) to whiteboard.

TUESDAY
1000-meter Row

* Using 4 1/2 on resistance level.

THURSDAY
"DT"

Five rounds for time of:
12 Deadlifts
9 Hang Power Cleans
6 Push Jerks

Post time with selected Level.

Rx'd  155/105

L3  95/65
L4  85/45
L5  Less Than Or Other Than 

FRIDAY
"CrossFit CLE Total" *

1RM for each:
Back Squat
Power Clean
Push Press
Deadlift

Post 1RM and total combined score on whiteboard.

[OR]

Open Gym **
(Make-up Day)


* We completed the CLE Total last month. If you already did it, it's up to you, if you'd like to get new numbers to work with for the Challenge. If you did not do last month, you must complete the CLE Total now.
** Make-up a previously missed workout from this week. Missed Cindy or DT? Get it done now. How about your 1000-meter Row? Finish it today.

I'm ok with extending the deadline for opening workouts/numbers. However, there should be NO allowance for an extension at the end.

As one of the people asking for an extension on account of final exams, I appreciate everyone taking the time to consider the issue. Jackie, I agree with you-I don't want any extra time, I just want to compete on the same terms as everyone else.

I'm not sure if my vote counts for anything, but if it does I vote for my own interests, lol.

I don't really see a problem with people starting late.

Agree with starting late is not an issue. For instance, I can't make Tuesday's 1000m row, it looks like I can make it up Wednesday, correct?

I have no problem with you guys getting in the WODs a couple of days late.

Also- Carl I built of an awesome spreadsheet to track my data,it has formulas that tie out to total weights and other sciency stuff. And now you tell me I need a writing tablet!
