6 Push-ups

Congratulations, Rene. Great work and great results.

Enjoyed the Chief today. Held steady 5 sets per round plus the cleans on the last. We did HPC's and not from the floor each time.

Nice warmup today as well. good to get those skills in on the front end instead of after.

Good Job Rene,

Wonderful improvement.

Looking forward to training at the hotbox. I left to the "City That Never Sleeps," as a middleweight and I am returning as a heavyweight :)

Robb Wolf said...

Great job! Congrats on a lot of levels, both the competitors and CrossFit 305 for putting this on.

Thanks to you guys...keeping the diary throuhout was hard but it kept us going strong during the hard times. Honestly we have some pretty darn good coaches! Thanks to Dan, Pete, Joe and especially Dom (even though he did Fail-e-o too funny). I've learned a lot through Crossfit 305 and the paleo seminars put on by Joe. Also my buds in San Antonio Alamo Crossfit/Steve's Garage Gym who got me started in this Cult!!! haha. They're awesome guys and really tearing it up down south. Can't wait for wednesdays benchmark!

Man! Robb Wolf gave a shout out to the 305. That's awesome. Thanks Robb
