The bar is coming along, even with a wobbly saw. There's gonna be some drunken nights up there, Melski has offered to be the permanent barmaid!
I told you assault bikes suck! Next time you might be careful what you ask for?! ;-)
Straight into a heavy day. We are on a 6-8 week program, lunging to improve your back squat. Get into as many as you can and see how they affect your back squat.
The week after next we shall be testing back squat. Get in and lift heavy, giving yourself something to work off.

I don't have much to say tonight, apart from...SURPRISE...
"I thought I was going to simultaneously puke, shit myself and pass out...luckily I just puked!"

In order to get to the games next year, as certified bad ass, Jimi has been following some top level programming. He pounds himself into the ground in the corner with deviating workouts, often at such speed and with such virtuosity of movement, it's hard to catch it on film. Luckily today however, I managed to do just that!
I felt as lucky as Attenborough does, after having just recorded footage of two Macaques shagging!
CrossFit Cardiff WoD

Keep up that momentum Sarah, legend!

Such a cool effort tonight team. That workout was no time easy, but you all attacked it hard.
Scaling the bar muscle ups like that will only lead you to actually getting them. Technique first and mastery of the fundamentals is what causes you to get really fit!

Coach Greg Glassman.
If you haven't seen them, get your assess upstairs to sit those peachy behinds on the new palate sofas. They are bad ass dude to the amazing skills of Sam Price, master of the sowing machine! Man they look good!
Just still be slightly wary of getting splinters, the sanding process is still to be completed.
Thank you Sam, not only do they look legit, but Ash will be spending his days stealing the internet and sleeping on the bad boys!!

Recently, my posts on Facebook have been filled with the news of so many of you academic ninja's graduating from University and I'd like to offer my sincere congratulations to all of you.
I was made aware of one particular story which struck me as being pretty cool. Click on the link below to read about a seriously cool member of your community:

Never think that a med ball clean is going to be anything but brutal; they are the work of the devil!
Tomorrow I challenge you to go as hard as you possibly can throughout part A, and beat the 8mins during part B.

Repeat your score from Part A, but with descending STOH (60/40kg)
It looks like that whiteboard shout read..."Ash is HAVING a poo"
Now, even though the pallet sofas upstairs look bad ass, you will have to refrain from sitting on them for a minute or two; and for two reasons:
1. Sam Price is making super cool pillows to fit them.
2. You will get splinters in your butt cheeks as they are yet to be sanded. However, if you do forget, don't worry...Dutch Maik has selflessly volunteered to remove them for you!
CrossFit Cardiff WoD

I have a request team. Beth is headed to South Africa on Saturday to help set up a charity organisation called inspire children and youth.
It is run by one lady and Beth is an ambassador. They mission is to break the cycle of poverty in the rural farms outside of Cape Town.
We are looking for any donations of clothes toys and toothbrushes, sports things and judo kit would be amazing! If anyone has anything to spare could you please bring it too the box before your next class and I shall ensure that she gets it.
Check it out on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/inspirechildrenandyouth/
Big love to all and congrats to some many folk who PB'd their squat tonight. Mel, Stu, Matt P, Sam, Katie, Jade, Ash, and that's the only ones I saw. F**king legends! We'll need to implement the PB horn.

After a moderate load squat with a cheeky rep range, we are going heavy!
The goal for tomorrow is to progress through the reps by gradually loading the bar with more load for each set.
The mistake would be however, to start super light...in the words of Robbie Lawson..."NO, NO, NO, get after it from the start!"

Welcome back from a weekend of wonderful sun...surf...and...workouts??? Hopefully you all had some well earned R&R but did not get arrested!! 👮🏼😳😉
There is generally only the one thing that I enjoy more than exercised induced human suffering...taking the piss out of Jimi on this blog. However, I am happy to get it back, hence why I've posted the below picture...
