Okay, so, I'm not sure if my gym just breeds upbeat, encouraging and well, good positive individuals, but after reading over some of the comments made in the fitness thread, makes me happy as hell to be where I am.
No bullshit egos, you can joke around, and people are generally there for the pure enjoyment of physical activity.
Is it like that at everyone else's gym?
I think I am going to keep to just posting in this thread. Too much seriousness outside of here/minirantiguess

If you're entering the games to take on annie T or chris klever as an individual and dq on something you're screwed.
If you're signing up for the TEAM COMP (when you register you assign yourself to a team) then everyones score count as a cumulative score so you're not screwed in response to antess.
thats not how they do team scoring except maybe to give out some awards to affiliates for "biggest team" or something like that.
team scoring is something like....every week they take the Top 3 male & Top 3 female scores from your gym and that's how they make the rankings to see who gets to regionals.

Great Oly class with Coach Bergener. I feel like I learned more about the snatch in one class than in the past 3 months.
That's what she said, but did you go up to him and go "remember me coach"?

Fuuu... I didn't realize the Crossfit Open is this week. I've been a lazy ass these past 2 weeks. Did one wod and a oly class last week and maybe 2 wods the week before that. 
Not that I plan on going to regionals or anything but I want to see where I stand when compared to my box the the boxes we regularly workout with.
I'm registering tonight when I get home. Who else is planning to do the open?

I decided against the open.
Too much money for me - registration and then judging fees.
I may do them on open gym days though - just to do them Judging fees?  Chick I'm dating said she's buying sushi tonight if I register. 
sex wod!!!

the way my gym is doing it, and did it last year
Open WODs are held on Saturday in place of what was a make-up hour. If you're registered, you can come in and do it. If you're doing it, you also have to judge someone in another heat.

haha how funny our normal class workout was christine yesterday. I am doing games training but that workout looked way worse than what I had to do.
It was ridiculous - but felt amazing about 5 minutes after the WOD 
We did all rows - distance, sprints, then distance again - so the row absolutely kicked my ass today. The deads were pie

ideally you want to make a ceiling over you as your target to hit. that way you never have to worry about drifting away from your target. also you'd generate a small amount of momentum pushing you back to the ground

I got 103!!! Lol. Pretty stoked about it. I limited myself to 15 per minute for the first five minutes or so and then blew it out at the end. Had about a 10 second break each minute, which kept me feeling pretty fresh for most of the time. Not too bad 
edit: At our gym we hung some rings at the proper height, then put a pvc pipe through them. I also made hand targets with chalk on the floor so I stayed in the same place.
