Woke up to several inches of snow. Streets were covered and plows and salt trucks were out. Made it to Crossfit without trouble. There are two hills that I have to get up on the way that always cause me concern but they were no problem today.

Ron, Tom and myself for class this morning.

We practiced Dead lifts and over head squats.

WOD
7 Dead Lift (95 lbs, up 30 pounds from last time)
14 Over Head Squat
21 Weighted Set Up

5 rounds for time

Ron (mutant)
Terry (about 14:00)
Tom (newbie)

Once Brian updates the website I can grab the exact times and update this post. It was right around 14 minutes.

After the WOD we played around with the slosh pipe and I mentioned a video I saw using a slosh pipe while doing a Turkish Get Up. We all tried it an it actually worked on the first try. The pipe in this video is 55 lbs. Not sure of the exact weight of the slosh pipe we were using. When making your own slosh pipe you can control the weigh by the amount of water you fill it with.

It looks easy but remember that the pipe has 55 lbs of water sloshing back and forth with every movement you make. A gallon of water weights 8.34 pounds so there is between 6 and 7 gallons in this pipe.

Slosh pipes are fun. Just a PVC pipe with water inside and capped at the ends. Want to make one for yourself? Here’s how.
