For time:
21-15-9 reps of
Deadlift 225lb/155lb
Handstand Push-ups.
I didn't do this one rx'd, but neither did anyone else in the 6am class. I deadlifted 185lbs and did kipping handstand pushups.
10:47. Couldn't catch the Janimal, who finished five seconds quicker.
I shouldn't have gone on YouTube, because I found a video of a guy doing this workout in under two minutes.
Fuck.
This week's gym challenge is doing levers on the pull-up bar. I tried doing that after the workout, but my shoulders remembered the 180+ pull-ups I did on Saturday and were all like "Fuck you, pal."

Why this blog?
This is basically a workout journal that I use to keep track of my workout results. I started Sissy Hands in 2009, a few months after I started going to CrossFit Regina. I find this is better organized and more convenient (for me, anyway) than a notebook. I'm under no illusion that this blog would be interesting to anyone else, except perhaps for the people I work out with.
These days, I work out when I can at B Squad Fitness , the Regina Boxing Club and OPEX Regina. I regularly do workouts with my buddy Nick in my basement or one of our garages. When motivation strikes, I also exercise on my own as a weird grunting loner.
I'm not an elite athlete or a certified fitness professional. I'm just a dude who learned that exercise had a place in my life, and then became less fat and weak than I was. However, I still binge on crappy food and skip workouts more than I should. Yes, I really do eat 7-11 nachos on a semi-regular basis.
If you came to this blog because you're a spambot, please achieve sentience and then die painfully. At the very least, don't leave a comment on my posts.

Sissy Hands?
Yeah. It's why I hate toes-to-bar.

World-Class Fitness in 100 Words:
Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc hard and fast. Five or six days a week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports.

1. I would like to see the numbers on the weights that he used.
2. He dropped the DL on each round and that in my mind doesn't count.
Still very fast time though.
You crushed this one buddy.
HB
wow, I would only have to shave off 18 min's...easy:)
a
That is Bret Marshall. He owns CFC with OPT. He was second, only to OPT(James Fitzgerald) in the first Crossfit games. You can here OPT talking in the background. They were both at the gymnastics cert with us. OPT said that Brett Marshall is the most powerfull Crossfitter he has seen anywhere.
I got you on this one Tyler.
I meant hear...oops
Harlan those are rubber coated steel plates I think. He would be Rx'd. I'm not sure about the dropping thing either. I know I was goin down pretty fast on mine today.
There you go Tyler, 3 post in one day.
Wow, I think his HSPU are faster than my push ups...
Now that you mention it Chris I remember that guy from the barbell Cert too, really strong.
Wow Tyler are we going for a record here?
HB
IS anyone allowed free reign?
First thing I wanted to mention too was that he dropped his last DL in each round! I'm sure he's had that criticism since sharing this video. Still amazing time though, and maybe this is a long time ago and you were allowed to drop DLs??
Yep, met Brett Marshall at both the barbell and gymnastic certs. Pretty amazing athlete.
I should also mention that they were allowed to drop DLs at the games this year, so you never know when the standards are going to change. Gotta be ready for anything, ya know?!
3 for me too. ;)
Did someone say FREE REIGN:)!!!!!!!!!!!
a
Though I should know better by now, I will say that the same rules apply here as on THNTS. Which is to say, you can pretty much say anything you want in the comments. Even you, a and Harlan.
even me too?
