@mournfulwatcher Read this thinking there had been a shooting. Perhaps “terminations” or “reduction in force” might go over a little smoother in the future

@merleharlin The first time movements were simple: TGU and rope climbs. There were many, many rounds of a certain number of reps at a moderate weight in a certain time (ie, 10DL@225 in 15 sec, 20 pull ups in 30 sec, 3 PC in 30 sec, etc.)

@grace4nan @outlook2018 Throw data like this out there, and he'll probably reference this post and give you credit

@blackhole Why not attempt something? 20lbs might be a big jump on some moves, but not on others. I tried a 275 PC today with a previous 1RM of 245. I couldn't get my left elbow under the bar though, but I've never "forced" myself to try 275 before. Now I know I can at least pull it.

@babies4me5 Yea, the people attempting the weights were pretty close in strength on these lifts. It just took the little added "I can't afford another letter" to get em over the edge. Same with the Bar MUs.

@blackhole Ha, that's fair. But there weren't any new guys there. Just the same group of 5 guys that have been working out together for a couple of years and wanted to mix it up a bit

This morning, 5 of the guys at my gym got together to play a game of HORSE using Crossfit to call the "shots." The rules were simple: 30 second cap on the movements (ie, no run a mile or "Fran" etc). If you call a "shot" but don't make it, then you get a letter If you miss the shot that was...

@thriftfabulous Great work! Congrats!!

Has anyone ever played a version of HORSE/PIG using typical crossfit movements? I was thinking it would be pretty fun given the varied movements and skills that crossfit requires. The group of folks I usually workout with is only about 6 people, so the game wouldn't last too long. I'll post...

@zjmcdon98 Have done this one before. Definitely a good one. Try with a weight vest if available.

@grace4nan I like actually like the events. To your point, the Mule is an actual repeat workout, right? And Rogue did the Bella Complex as one of their online community challenges too, I believe. GORUCK, Concept2, and The Chipper all sound intriguing and not like something I recall seeing...

@marlow7 I've learned that a tie clip makes this much easier
