Whattya mean when Nick D. is gone??
Leaving for law school Aug 5th, gonna miss u guys!
Gonna be busy all day tomorrow so whose down for a 6am’er with me?!?
Stef and I will be there Nick!!!
Law School? That is GREAT Nick… really really great. When’s the NICK D. going away WOD?
Nick D. WOD for time
5 rounds
10 Deadlifts – 225lb DL
10 Back Squats – 185lb
and… just because Nick loves burpess so much…. 5 burpess in between rounds.
I wonder if they know about burpees in Florida….
First, Nick you look great in the picture, you are very inspirational. Secondly, congrats on law school, what type of law do you want to practice? And lastly, I am definitely in for a celebratory going away WOD for Nick D. Not too fast though we still have time before August 5th.
Seriously Steve?
14 pistols? Can i do Pushups as my Modification?
-Cherry Picking Spyder
How would pushups and upper body exercise be a suitable substitute for pistols…put the bottle down nick
Wow you too are like a married couple lol. Nick good luck bro with law school. Youve been an inspiration to me.
Watching people run 200 meters after doing 14 pistols will be worth the price of admission.
Nick, if you don’t mind me asking, how much weight have you lost since coming to Ignite? I missed some months and it looks like you were a different person between times that I saw you.
Nick D. you are one cool mo fo’!!!!!! I’ve been so lucky to WOD with you these past few months and have been inspired by you as well.
I have to say though that you do have a wonderful plank position, and since I do belong to the 6 p.m. CrossFit Intimate group, I can’t help but note that you look freakin hot in this picture!!! Woohoo! Go Nick!
You will be missed my fellow PPQ loving comrade. Go get that degree so you can represent me for my second through fourth divorces.
Awesome workout this morning!!! Nick, Law School will be a breeze compared to some of our workouts. Nice working out with you this morning!!! I hope to see you at the Nick D. WOD…
Thanks for all the kind words everyone!
great WOD so far this morning..
avg is apx 5 rounds Rx
Great job to Ryan who was the dark horse banging out double unders.. who knew..
and props to the Marisa. her first week here doing full pistols RX dead’s (never lifted before) and figured out the Kip..
again this is why everyone should do gymnastics in their formative years..
I had just met Marissa last night… she was doing great push presses too.
I just attempted a pistol in my office and ended up on my ass. Is that typical?
Yes, very typical…
Really gotta lean over your knee…. but keep your foot flat! Takes some flexibility too.
I’ll be scaling this one… you hold onto a band hanging off the pull-up bar.
Great rest of the morning.. Nice being able to train all the athletes and see veryone daily.. aside the sleep depravation im enjoying it..
Everyones averaging apx 4-6 rounds.. alot of PR’s going on and people are really pushing forward trying to scale less
Lili and Stephanie both had a steallar 115# deadlift smashing 7 reps nonstop perfect form every round..
Great job!
nottaking fro everyone else too they all did great
Rich lol!
practive on a chair first.. balance on one leg and push your butt straight back while leaning forward touch your but to the chair and then fire the glue and dig your big tow and heal into the ground and stand up to an open hip
Steve
How do I get a fancy picture on my posts? Tired of looking like Casper the Friendly Ghost.
Yeah everyone needs to get a pic.. it workls on EVERY blog you post on..
its called
Gravatar.com

Marisa’s will be a pic of a really eclectic beer.,.,
Who else is a beer drinker , NOT BUD and COORs.. like an afficianado (spelling)
I know Nick E is and Bad Brad and Coop i think.. we all should make a ngiht and go to the “Defiant Brewery” in old tapan..
how bout thursday night?
s
I consider myself to be a beer aficionado. PBR and High lifes was like heaven.
Steve, Its defiant brewery and its over in pearl river next to the train tracks. Good Place. If your lucky, they might have their raspberry brew….since i know how much u love fruits.
-Beer Aficionado
Defiant is in Pearl River
It’s still close by http://www.defiantbrewing.com/
I have grappling Thursdays from 7:30pm – 9:30pm :/ It’s open til 12am and I could make it by 10:30 pm but that’s prob too late
Hows Wed nIght? Bad brad..coop franky boy..nick c.. everyone?
I know George will come..
Nick D: Great Plank, amazing work! Yes, Celebratory WOD!
Steve: Thanks for the support. Today was a valley, energetically speaking, and it felt good to do those deadlifts.
Note to self: When doing deadlifts in a Met-Con, wear knee socks! ouch.
Beer! Loves it!
Im interested in a chocolate stout.. I had a stoud recently (first time) and felt it was missing something, i saod to myself hey this would really be nice with a hint of chocolate or something..
low and behold, people are way ahead of me..
SO i hear defiant makes a great chocolate stout,
Anyone else have any i should try?
I went to Defiant once (actually rode my bike from Westwood!), and I’ve been dying to go back. You can buy growlers there to take a man size jug of their delicious beer home (I’m an IPA fan myself). That’s my dream.
They also serve some unhealthy but comforting food there. So I’m in!
Rich loves IPA lol lol lol
This, which I’m bringing tomorrow http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/45/680
Tomorrow night I’m out of practice at 9pm, late again…you guys should all go anyway, I spend too much time there
I got my growler from Gingerman in Manhattan. ROAD TRIP!!! They have an unreal number of beers on tap.
For the best local brews, I go to Andy’s Corner Bar in Bogota. They bring in Defiant, and a ton other locals brews for the northeast, california, etc. … and they fill growlers. They also usually have a couple cask beers available… LOVE THOSE!!! right now on tap:
DEFIANT MUDDY CREEK LAGER
TROEGS SUNSHINE PILS
LANCASTER STRAWBERRY WHEAT
HOEGAARDEN WHIT
BROOKLYN WEISS
ERIE RAIL BENDER
BEACH BUM SUMMER ALE
BROOKLYN IPA
MURPHYS STOUT (Love this one!!)
Anyhow, I’m down for a trip to Defiant…
Marissa, thumbs up on the Brooklyn…
I’m really into Black Lagers right now though…. YUM YUM YUM
Stef, Full of Grace.
Taking on challenges one WOD at a time, one round at a time, and if necessary, one rep at a time….
Wow Brad that is an awesome list, and I am ashamed I have not heard of this place.
All this beer talk is making me thirsty. It’s ok to drink on the job, right? Right??
Brad did you recite all those from memory or are you sitting there right now?
Adam.. haha.
After two beers, my WOD times improve drastically. It’s been my secret weapon for the last 10 months, and I’m finally found out!
Naw… it’s on their blog page:
http://andyscornerbar.blogspot.com/
They also have a HUGE FRIDGE of bottled beer from around the world. I absolutely love Dunkel Weisse beers as well. (Dunkel = dark)
Knarf is always mentioning a place off Rt 17 that has a great selection… can’t remember the name right now.
KNARF???
<3 Andy's
Ever been to Bistro 55? Check their list: http://www.southcitygroup.net/pdf/Bistro55_wine.pdf and Wednesday is $4 pint night
Steve,
Samuel Smith makes somes really good Stout’s. I use to like the Oatmeal Stout, the Taddy Porter is pretty good, think you might like that. It’s sold in 4 pack’s, so its perfect for your 3 beer limit, haha.
http://www.merchantduvin.com/pages/5_breweries/samsmith.html
Defiant….The sell Beef Jerky!!! I am yet to try it. They also Do BBQ’s on friday’s and saturdays….and im pretty sure they use that good hormone fed beef, haha.
I could go on and on about this topic and blog, but i will stop for now.
I’m down for Wednesday.
Brad,
I think the place knarf would be talking about is Firewaters, Its on route 4 east next to the Riverside Plaza.
It has 50 Beers on Tap and over 100 different types of beers.
Its best to get there early, cause the evening crowd is ghetto.
Brad did you write that message on my blog? Cause if so I am completely grateful for those kind and encouraging words.
Anyways, I love beer!!! Keep it going.
Firewaters SUCKS. I hate that place. They never clean out their taps.
Stef G.
less almond butter, more broccoli.
what’s a little tape worm in your beer!
you sound like such a wimp! especially for a man that can do a 135lb barbell tgu!
The cavemen ate tape worm!
How non paleo of you!
I just have a discerning taste for non-tape worm products…. The last time I had a tape worm infested product, I had to dump the BEAST on the left side.
It wasn’t pretty!!
Touche…enough of you brad and back to the Beers
Some favorites….I am big into the Summer Brews
Anchor Steam Summer Ale
Brooklyn Summer Ale
Sweaty Betty (pretty good)
Riverhorse Blonde
And just about every type of hefeweizen.
Paulaner
Hoegarden
Franzikaner
MMmmm… Seasonals….
September is coming….
ALMOST TIME FOR OKTOBERFESTS!!!! YEA!!!!!!!!
Nick youll drink anything that will get you drunk who are you kidding
OK Off the topic of beer but would you all be weirded out if I did this ritual before every WOD:

By the way, I only drink this beer:

Wow, Stef, I actually got chills watching that. And I would join you. But I’d have to practice by myself first.
Hey, does anyone “like” CrossFit on Facebook? I just saw this on my page: an Adidas as for the CrossFit Games. Also exciting. CrossFit’s going mainstream…

Wow so many beers so little time. My favorite happens to be Bohemia which is mexican. Only available at On the Borders for some reason. Honestly most likely if you put it in front of me I will probably drink it.
Has anyone seen the documentary ‘Beer Wars’? Makes you hate the big brewers even more, and features the Dogfish Head owner (who is dreamy).
Marisa – where do you find all these delicious beers? I know Ramsey Liquors has an impressive selection…
Loving where the blog is going today – all about beer. Haven’t had much luck finding real beer in NJ – got to take up the suggestiions CFIers are throwing out.
@Marissa/Brad you really know your stuff when it comes to beer.
PS: check us out on beeradvocate.com, search Foodtown Express
@Coop – Beer Wars is a good movie for all true beer fans….Sneaky how big breweries will produce “microbrews” price it cheap & make it taste horrible just to turn off the shopper who is looking for real beer & something better. Shady.
Coop – Total Wine in Hackensack and Linwood Wine in Fort Lee. Bottle King in Hillsdale sometimes has good stuff. The west coast exclusives like Russian River/Green Flash I had while in Cali and brought back a bunch with me.
Check out Whole Foods in Paramus for beer, too. Good selection of beer, wine and now they carry spirits like tequila so you Paleo folks can make your NorCal Margeritas.
Bad ass:

And Chris is obviously a chalk-a-holic, like me…
Did the CFE WOD today: Max effort: 1 min on, 1 min off; 1 min on, 50 sec off; all the way down to 1 min on, 10 sec off, then back up to 1 min on, 1 min off.
Better the second time around.
BEERS!
Gingerman is excellent, but I’ve only been there once when it wasn’t crowded (Halloween). A great local alternative that few people have already mentioned is Andy’s, on Queen Anne Rd in Bogota. They have 9 new beers on tap everynite and a FRIG FULL of delicious selections. And it’s surprisingly calm on Friday nites. I didn’t see anyone mention Midas Touch, it’s in my top 5.
I could probably spend an entire day at Gingerman…. At least 1/2 day at Andy’s…. You just order food from the Italian joint next door and they’ll deliver it to your table at Andy’s. NICE!!! Meatball and Mozz…. My fav…
your all beer freaks..
now i know the issue with everyones diet..
lol
“i cant seem to get rid of this last 10lbs” or ” i cant seem to drop 1-2% more body fat”
WELP!! you all just answered your own questions..
