First workout- braving a blizzard

Little did I know, the first documented TCC workout would begin with an unforeseen challenge:  braving a violent, raging blizzard.  I stepped outdoors this morning to convene with michael at the Y, only to be met with this:

I know, I know most would abandon the pursuit of complete fitness in the face of such extreme adversity, but here at the TCC, we know nothing of surrender.  So after braving the blizzard, we made it to the Y.  Here's the summary of our workout:

Phase 1 (CrossFit):

10 sets of 2 deadlifts, 60 seconds rest between each set
finished in 16:12:8

As a side note, our deadlifts were done at 140lb, which almost matched the minimum weight shown on crossfit's website.  We have a long way to go, but our faces are set like flint!

Phase 2 (TCC original):

3 sets of 8 pull ups, 12 dips, 15 back extensions with extra 25lb weight (video below)

Phase 3:

2 sets of 15 inverted sit ups while doing twists/tosses with 10lb medicine ball

Phase 4:

50lb bar curls, starting at 11 reps, counting down one rep each set, alternating between the two of us each set

As usual, today as we worked out, we drew a bit of a crowd simply because of how intense we are.  Here's a short clip of the attention we got while we were working out today. 




So, that's that.  If you like what you see, come with us tomorrow!  Same time, same place, booya!
