That’s a beautiful shot, Laura.
I agree, nice shot! Is that Kristy?
I can’t believe it…my abs and legs are still really sore from last cycle, but “Linda” actually felt good today! I weigh just about the exact same as last time (163). First round DLs and Bench were unbroken, while Sq Cleans broken in half. Normal partitioning after that.
Dead: 220 (same as last time; -24 pounds from RX)
Bench: 120 (+5 pounds from last time; -43 pounds from RX)
Full Squat Clean: 115 (+5 pounds from last time; -7 pounds from RX)
24:04
Almost 6 minutes faster than last time, AND, with more weight! VERY HAPPY with this!
Oh, and thanks, Michaelsaurus, for being my workout partner today! It made a HUGE difference to do this WOD with someone else suffering next to me!
you rocked Linda’s world LD! it was fun coming in this moring to play with everyone…and thanks Laura for sticking around to help me through those last few rounds!! what a great learning experience with the “3 bars of death”!
Now at least I have a baseline…& add one more goat: lots o body-weight bench presses 
…almost couldn’t lift my kiddo’s & my mountain bikes up on the rack this afternoon!! no, seriously LOL
Impressive!
Nice PR!
This is the first time I’ve ever done a full Linda. Did a half Linda at LA Fitness back in February and Did rounds 10 through 5 in 24:21. However, I only weighed 150 then. Now, I am 154, so I had a little more weight to pull.
I’m excited that I began unbroken squat cleans from round 8 and down. I began unbroken deadlifts at round six. I’m thinking I need to begin unbroken squat cleans from the beginning and on round 8 begin unbroken deadlifts. We’re not going to talk about bench press.
As RX- 28:27
Linda
Deadlifts 110 – same as last time
Bench 71 – 5 lbs more than last time
Squat Clean 65 – 10 lbs more than last time
24:47 (+42 seconds from last time)
Thanks Michaelsaurus for spotting!
Alternative to Linda: 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1, 109# deadlift, plank push ups, 44# kb swing. 23:10
We need to underline that! Terri DID PLANK PUSH-UPS! Yay! You’ve come a long way, baby – congratulations!
Awesome, Terri!
Hey! I DID, didn’t I? Ha!!!!!!! I couldn’t do a single knee push up when I started CrossFitRx in October 08. Not a one!
i believe this would be an appropriate spot for that elephant quote!
Alt-Linda:
Deadlifts @ bodyweight (147)
Decline pushups off hi-box
Kettlebell swings at 70lbs
Ohhh, I’ve been seriously hurting from the last two WODs but it helped to work through it today. KBs were the toughest part — still almost impossible to launch that thing overhead but I’m trying. Deadlifts felt easier than usual, though I know my form is the still first thing to go. Push-ups were a breeze.

Great job, Mike!
Made up the thanksgiving day AMPRAP today. It was really tough w/ all those GHD sit ups!
20 min AMRAP:
15 dbl unders
15 GHD situps
15 GHD back extensions
10rds + 15 dbl unders, 15 GHD situps, and 8 back ext
Deadlift: 176#
Bench: subbed decline pushups because my vertigo was acting up when I laid down for the bench press. I used two 25# plates for the decline pushups. (Very pleased with the iprovement in my pushups lately.)
Cleans: 95# – full squat cleans on rounds 10-6. Mostly power cleans on rounds 5-1.
37:13
that is a great photo of kristy!
coach laura called my workout this morning “lulu”…the light version of linda. first workout coming back from thanksgiving trip so i wanted to ease into the weights and be able to keep moving to burn off some of my naughty eating.
