this is an important WOD everyone.. get these numbers so we can work off of them and get better…
great job this week so far.. you all are really impressing Tina and I so much with how far you have come.
we appreciate all the kind and encouraging e-mails and thanks you’s we get on a daily basis..
you all are the root of what Ignite is and we love your die hard dedication to us..
we love and respect all our members.. thank you
Went to the recruiter today and lost another 8lbs. So far grand total since I started loss of 31lbs.
Hi this is my first time at CA (Crossfit Anonymous) . In order to start the healing process I feel I must admit I am truly a Crossfit addict. I will try to stay away but the thoughts of lactic acid build up, 24″ box jumps, and the possibly of tears by the end of tomorrow WOD will likely be enough to lure me back. DAMN YOU CROSSFIT!!!!!
UMM HELLOO!!
EVERYONE!!
JOHN AGAR is DOWN 30#’s
wow! excellent!!
so so so proud of his comitment..
Alex about friggin Time>>
“In the garage, I feel safe.
No one cares about my ways.
In the garage where I belong.
No one hears me sing this song.
In the garage.”
This Song reminds me of IGNITE aside the singing part lol.. but you get what I mean..In Ignite everything is OK.. everything is Normal.. when you leave, what we do, what we feel, what we love, is not normal…. As much as we consume our selves with it, it feels normal and feels like reality. The masses dont get it. they never will.. But we do.
We get it, and we get you.. you are safe here..
In the garage,……everyhting is “okay”

Pure bliss, Kenia in her Bandana.
Big John Stud,
Good Work Bro, Keep it going!
Sorry i didnt post about you first, but Kenia has my heart. haha
Brad,
Your an animal….The Log will be your next TGU.
Alex,
Welcome aboard brother! Don’t worry about the Lactic Acid Build up…Nothing a 20 minute bath full of Ice cant fix. Thats when you know your an addict.
JOHN awesome job!!!!
JOHNNNNNNNN THE WARRIOR!!!!! Keep up the awesome hardcore work dude!!!
ice baths are a crutch
I guess there must be another John, lol. There is no way anyone would be congratulating me after today’s workout. I’m the bald John from the 6PM class who didn’t do anything today to brag about. In fact, after taking some time off over the past few months, I only recognize half of the names in this post (Ignite is GROWING!!!!!). So, if you see a bald guy who looks like he doesn’t know anyone at an upcoming Crossfit session, say hello to me!
Ice bath’s and jack Daniel’s might be a crutch, but the both offer such a wonderful numbing sensatio
CFI is growing and so is the Blog, up to 61 posts in a day, good stuff!.
Definatley makes it a better and more interactive enviroment.
Keep up the good work Sargeant Steve.
Lol the blog is better then ever lately..
such a variety of people on it.. it pushes me to post more..
i used to be a 1x a day person..
BIG JOHN IS IN THE ZONE!!! THE JOHN ZONE!!!
JohnO, great to see you today… but you aren’t quite Old School IGNITE yet… That honor goes to FOOT I believe… and Andrew, but we still see him around from time to time. Drew would be old school, but I still have hope!
Old school is if you were at ignite on day 1…
Like you and I Randy? I think besides Steve and Tina, we might be the only ones.
Reasons I love Crossfit IGNITE.
1. I can talk about shaving my palms and no one looks at me funny.
2. Saying I did Helen, Nancy, Fran, and Annie this week doesn’t bring looks of disgust from the Ignite women. It brings looks of respect.
3. I can brag about other people to their face, and they don’t get bashful. They get proud.
4. Igniter’s just understand. Nothing else to say about that.
5. I’ve seen more goals and plateaus reached and broken through in my 10 months at Ignite, than I have in my last ten years on planet earth.
6. No one thinks I’m brown nosing right now, because everyone is still nodding their heads in agreement.
7. Meeting all these incredible people from ALL walks of life. I feel like I have a new friend the first moment I meet you.
Uncle Randy,
But.. old school is also if you aren’t coming to IGNITE anymore. So when that person finally shows up it’s like… Old School.
And btw, I was in no way trying to say I was old school. That’s like admitting I am actually old as well.. and I swear, I’ve grown younger at IGNITE.
Thanks guys, and Nick all is forgiven. I would hope that you would notice her before me
I need to work on Human Turkish Get Ups.
I need some volunteers.
John – AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep up the good work. It certainly isn’t easy, but it certainly couldn’t be more fun, right? And yet another one of my idols! The list grows on a daily basis!
Now doesn’t anyone else think that any Non CrossFitter reading Brad’s last post would be afraid? Look at that avatar and those words….very scary sounding!
But you wouldn’t be scared right Stephanie?
NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!
good girl steph
TGUB: a special request…can you turkish get up the dumpster in the parking lot?
Stephanie, I love that you are posting!!!!! CrossFitting Stephanies UNITE!!!
Lili, I love your knits and I am excited to purchase some of your items! What a talent you are!
Randy, when will the sixers be graced with your awesome presence?
Brad, although I’m sure you’d have an easier time lifting Katie or Tina, you’d have more of a challenge if you do a “Stefy Get Up”! lmao
Nick C., am I excited to see your Air Squats today or what!!!
Randy have your people call my people.
Stefy get up? Game on!
Bad Brad I bow to you!
Brad you def earned the name BAD BRAD
If there’s any “Stefy Get Ups” going on – I must be there for support…
because I’m a CrossFitter and I’m a Stephanie and that’s what we do!
Stephanie, I love you. Stef
Are all us Stephs natural born cheerleaders?
Great job to the 6am class. Everyone crushed it. Got 4:32 today…interested to see what the times look like…and Steve’s been a bit delinquent in posting the photos.
Photos are up for past 2 days i did yesterdays last night,,,,
off my case toilet face…. (**no neil has nothing close to a toilet face, please dont anyone take that and run, as we all know i like to jest**)
Sounds like a great time Neil… especially after maxing out on squats.
yes 6am definatly had great times today..
830 and 930 did great too had some 30″ box jumpers
and ASHLEY crushed a 215# PR back squat.. with ease..
might have to build a 34″ inch box soon!
i have the wood…
wish i knew some unemployed, and college kids that would help me..
man wonder where i can find two men that do nothing during the day…
hmm
anyone know anyone?
I wanna see us hit 100 posts..!!
Hey Steve,
I think it was 220# Ashley did? Either way she made it look so damn easy.
I want to add that its great the way everyone motivates and inspires each of us to do better. With that, using the 30″ box is no fun when you’re only 5′ 9″. Thanks KFJ for pushing me to do it.
I think the 5pm and 6pm class should have to do their squats today listening to “We can dance if we want too” just like the 9:30 class had to.
Pat Benetar’s Husbands Nick Name is “Spyder”
As cool as she is, and as good as her songs were..
His nickname still sucks..
(info recieved from Stephanie)
Great job Adam on the 30″ box!
Great job Ashley as well!
Ok so I been hearing alot of “when do you workout?” or ” do you do the workout” here is video proof of my 1rm PR @ 305#..
my depth could have been a bit lower but im pleased..
http://www.flickr.com/photos/crossfitignite/4793332261/
6:00 pm, going for 400# squat!
Nick, this I wanna see! YOU GO BOY!
Nice on the 305 steve!
Welcome back John O! Dont think you will see me in the pm classes though..
Adam – great job on the 30″ box and why did you have to put that damn song back into my head!!!!!!!!
Ashley – great squats!
Steve,
I will be more than willing to help with the 34/36 inch box. I might need to know how to build them for Crossfit Englewood and Ridgwood..haha.
Stef,
You will be getting a lot more than just airsquats today at the 6 p.m class.
S_P_Y_D_E_R
OMG….30″ box jumps are becoming routine in our garage! Once again more idols on my list – Adam, coming from someone who is only 5′2″ (and 1/2!)…..I bow to you my friend! A 30″ box may as well be the Empire State Building to me!
Cool to watch you in action Steve! Never doubted your amazing abilities for a minute!
Steve, was the song in the background of your squat “I wanna know what love is” by Foreigner? Now that is old school for you.
Great backsquat, by the way!
Brad, your TGU was amazing. I was telling George the Spartan about it today. Yes, the Elefther clan has returned everyone! I think Ignite has been a little quiet lately without George around….
Thanks Deb!
Yea, been missing George and Nick and Karen… glad they are back! I want to see more handstand pictures from Nick.
Maybe a group photo of the Elefthers doing handstands.
Anyone else notice how the music selection has changed since Steve went to Bon Jovi?
Steve,
Stay on your heels, stay on your heels!!
Get your butt lower, get below parrallel.
Explode up!!!!
Just saying…
Nick C …the above is one of the funniest blog entries you have ever written…
Recent Movie Reviews:
Go!
man Steve I wonder where you could find guys doing absolutely nothing during the day
Let’s see how many we can find Mark – still working on those 100 posts for the day.
Who’s here?
Here. I am working, but I have Ignite on auto refresh and auto type. This is actually the computer typing for me, while I work really hard.
Sick one today…30in box jumps are life-o-suction!!! Deb M…every time at CrossFit I think to myself… WWDD(What Would Deb Do)…then try to follow it…well today that would have meant not doing the workout….what the!?…thanks a lot for that my little cherry picking inspiration…maybe you can just come down and watch people workout…
Sorry I will miss the awesome-sounding WOD today.
I tried to the the CFE WOD on-water but the Passaic was a demolition derby after the rains. The most I could get out of it were 8x 200-400m pieces without risk of getting pile-driven by a log.
Kung Fool Jim. I like to rest once in awhile. And anyway, I guess you didnt notice I did my backsquats…? So go bang on your drums like you do for months at a time and then tell me who is slacking.
Ohhh. snap!
Steve you find the guys to build you the new boxes they can get started on the vanity table for the bathroom you promised me you were going to build. I know Tony-2-a-day would also appreciate it as much as i do… thanks
Need to get a comment onto here, if only to add to the number and help reach 100 for the day. Rest day for me, as much as I would have loved to be there today, Coach says I gotta rest… Will be there tomorrow to tackle yet another fun filled wod.
I think there needs to be a Dance Off between KFJ and Deb M.
We’ll see who get’s served!
http://www.videowired.com/watch/?id=1940780907
Deb I didn’t know you had that in you.
“Kung Fool Jim” – brilliant
NO WATER, NO CHALK, NO RX…..add NO REST to the mix.
Brad,
Recent Movie Review #1: I saw it about a month or 2 ago, but it was the last movie thati really really liked…….law abiding citizen
Invictus.. blah
Book of Eli….was also pretty good
Shutter Island……was pretty good, but too confusing for braindead spyder…i didnt get the ending not going to lie.
Wolfman…Sucked
Youth In Revolt…..Tacky and Korny
Green Zone……Pretty good
Valentine’s Day…Was ok, but i have a thing for Romantic Comedies and Matthew Mcconaughey…dont tell anyone
i have a lot of time on my hands as you can see, haha
This has been brought to you by Siskel and Spyder
P.S. Im open to suggestions to other movies
if you want romantic comedies jump into some audrey hepburn, won’t regret it
Kung Fu Jim,
I don’t know you, but i have no problem going to Olive’s Slugging a couple beers and shots and supporting your band.
I’ll be the heavily intoxicated person attemting to stage dive. (or bar dive)
I’ll try and recruit some of the the Evening Crew.
This is what we do.
Movies in my world lately:
1. Toy Story 3 in 3-D two thumbs up
2. Shrek 4 sucked
3. Wall-E awesome
4. Up very good
See where I’m going here. If it’s not animated I don’t see it.
Try watching the Hangover or The Departed with a 9 and 5 year old. Not good.
Adam my grandmother took me to see death wish V when I was 10. I turned out fairy well for the most part although the majority of “My Hero” themed papers in elementary school were about Charles Bronson.
lol Mark. My 5 year olds favorite movie happens to be “Dodgeball” and so far she’s sort of normal. SHe also thinks burpees are fun.
Adam, I’m never asking you for suggestions on movies to watch. I hate animated movies.
P.s. Katie is posting from my laptop
I meant to say P.S. Adam that was Katie posting from my laptop
It would be simple to get to 100 posts if we all do what Kenia just did ^^^
Just type something..post it..then type something again…make a mistake and type one more post. An easy 3!
But seriously, everyone needs to know Kenia’s Magical Paleo Pancake Recipe. It is the best I have tried and the pancakes are so amazing!
Kenia, post away.
As far as movies, Steve says I have the worst taste ever in them:
Usual Suspects – highly recommended
Lock, Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels – so good
Snatch – amazing
Red Dawn – at least JR and I like this one…old classic
And of course, anything that contains zombies. Gotta love the zombies…
I wish I were as amazing at Katie. She is so incredible and I can only hope to be half the woman she is.
RED DAWN IS AWESOME!!!
So is Usual Suspects.
Snatch? Is that movie about Kettle Bells?
and I LOVE animated movies. Wall-E was really great… UP was really SQUIRREL!!!!…………. was really funny too.
You are my new master, and I looooove youuuuuu….
DEB! YOU LOVE ZOMBIE MOVIES? OMG You are my sister soul mate. Our taste in earrings and now ZOMBIE MOVIES? I LOVEEEEE ZOMBIE FLICKS!!!
Brad Reddawn was just on the other night. Great movie! only other gd Swayze (RIP) films were Point Break and Roadhouse. Remember to be nice until its time to not be nice. Also watch History of the World Part I and Dr. Strangelove. Last but not least lets not forget Failsafe and 7 Days in May
Brad that was crazy you can definitely do more weight. great job
Referring back to the Deb and KFJ Dance Off: Brad, come on!!! We all know who would win a Dance Off!!!! No one can serve it like Stef C. can!
