    Dude, I completely forgot to comment after posting!

    Tubs, are we still invited to your bbq this Tuesday?? 😀

    re: workout – My Power Cleans are gaaaaawd awful. My form in general sucks with cleans, but I was doing something that really wasn’t a power clean yesterday. Maybe more like a half-assed Power Curl/Clean hybrid. My form was entirely too sloppy – the bar didn’t stay close to the body, elbows weren’t high, etc. And this was way before fatigue kicked in. AND…I’m just more comfortable doing squat cleans. So Power Cleans goes on my Goat List.

    The only other thing I kinda struggled with was the Push Presses. I think that’s the most weight I’ve ever used for that exercise. I was feeling good with the Front Squats. The DLs were fine but I think I rushed through them so my form wasn’t nearly as good as it should have been.

    THE END!!

    Maiko, form was better than you think, althpugh we all have room to improve. PP @ 65 was good work.

    TUba, have fun with it!

  4. I definitely should’ve uped the weight, maybe to 55? But I’ve never done PP with more than 45# and it was my first time doing power cleans with a barbell so I wasn’t sure how that was gonna turn out. Bad form on the power cleans for me too, need to work on those.

    So not used to DL being a recovery exercise! Although I know my cleans weren’t perfect, I can feel it in my traps more than usual, so I’m guessing there was a bit of improvement.

    This was a great workout, definitely upped the challenge. The warm-up was killer!

    Stephanie, you are getting strong, you flew through with the 45!!

    This was a tough one. I was nauseous for about 1 hour after I finished. I had 65# on the bar I was using and am wishing I only had 55#. The only breather on this one for me were the DLs. I am sore all over.

    My form on power cleans felt pretty bad with a good one thrown in every once in a while. My front squats were not deep and tom called me out on it multiple times. This was just a really tough workout for me. I think I had one of those love/hate views of this workout.

  8. Chris says:

    Brutal. Used 135 for the workout. Per the consensus, the power cleans were a definite weakness, though I felt like they were getting better towards the end – many thanks to Tom, Fred, and Mike for the pointers and encouragement. The front squats were the surprise killer for me, maybe because I thought they were going to be a slight break between the power cleans and push press. Cheers to Brose for a kick-ass workout – from warm-up to workout, my traps and butchered thumb thank you.

    so…how did CFDC end up on the Georgetown Lululemon site?

    http://www.lululemon.com/washington/georgetownstore/community

    And what’s the big deal with lulu anyway? Sounds like all the CF ladies love their stuff. I went to one location and the staff just had this pretentious vibe to them.

    maiko, they have a lot of yoga folks at lulu…they’re just jealous 😉

  14. CFDC Maiko says:

    lol, or maybe as a non-yoga person I just confused them??

    Now, do the folks who take Winnie’s yoga rock some lululemon gear?

    Once an individual suffers from obesity or overweight, it becomes highly important for him to trigger off weight loss and altogether weight loss is necessary to keep a whole lot of obesity induced disorders, namely, diabetes, arthritis, high blood pressure et al at bay. Dieting and regular physical exercises can help in achieving weight loss and altogether the “weight loss” section of the website http://www.pill-care.com informs you that weight loss medicines such as Phentermine, Xenical etc can also help you trigger off instant weight loss if taken in accordance with the instructions of the doctor.
