CrossFit Challenge & Fundraiser
BTB is hosting an Affiliate Challenge on Saturday, May 2nd from 10am-12noon that will benefit the American Cancer Society and the Relay for Life. 100% of workout donations will be added to the BTB Relay Team donation. Their goal for the relay is to raise $10,000 between individual and team fundraising. Not interested in working out…you can still help by making a donation here

WOD: is TBA depending on what kind of participation there is.
Time: 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM
What to bring: Your own water, snacks, etc. There is no a water fountain.

You have been driving for a while. You are glad that your day is almost over. You couldn’t wait to leave work and get home, but there is one more stop you have to make before reaching your final destination: the gym. It’s time for your workout. You have been thinking about it all day long, more than thinking, you have been dreading it.
As soon as you step into the gym the scene almost never changes: people laying on the floor trying to catch their breath….people in middle of the workout screaming and shouting….others waiting…. As you make your way inside the gym you look at the white board as if you were about to read your death sentence. You stare at it for a while, shaking your head in disbelief. You read the scores of the warriors that have gone before you and keep shaking your head. You are trying to understand what brought you here. You wonder what strange force has possessed you…why you are doing this to yourself.
It’s not too late to turn around and leave, after all, your name has not been written down on the board yet…nobody will notice. But you decide to stay and embrace the pain. You have been waiting all day to feel the out-of-control heart rate, the hyperventilation, the suck! There is no way you are going to leave now.
You take a couple of minutes to change your clothes. As you warm up people are talking to you. You try to be polite, make some conversation, nod, smile, ask them about their days. But the only thing inside your head is the hell you are about to put your body through.
The group before you is almost done….the time is approaching. There is that voice asking the next group to get ready. Your bar is already waiting for you; someone was nice enough to leave it for you. You look around for the orange bucket and make sure your get some of that magic chalk on your hands. You scan the group and find your rabbit. Tthe music is blasting, but for some odd reason the only thing you can hear is your heart beat….you can even feel it. You start to sweat and you haven’t even begun the workout.
Staring at the guy next to you, the only thing coming out of you is “this is going to hurt”…your final words before the torture starts.
You look at your coach; he’s got the stopwatch in his hand.
You are about to experience agony….and you ready for it. This is what you have been waiting for all day.
3, 2, 1, go!

Let me just adapt that article for Crossfit Peachtree. “You pull up and park your car, surprised to see 5 people sitting out front trying to decide on having a third beer. One guy looks like he swam here he is so sweaty. You go inside and one woman is swearing so much all the sailors and longshoremen quit the gym. One cyborg/robot is completing the workout in 45 seconds, not even leaking antifreeze on the floor.”
There is a large truck parked next to the gym with a sign on the back that says “if this fat tank is rockin’, don’t bother knockin”
MIKE – LMAO hahahah
Kyle Maynard (sp) was on the regular guys this morning for bitch slap trivia – he gave a shout out to xfit. And then he proceeded to slap some hot porn star’s ass… Oh the small things in life…
http://www.uga.edu/gm/artman/uploads/maynardmain.jpg
This is Kyle Maynard just FYI
FYI, if you are bitching about your arms hurting then you go and do Helen, they don’t get better. Who would have thought?
And thank you to the beer drinkers for the cheering. One suggestion — you should really have a beer ready for those who are finishing who will undoubtably join you. Getting my own beer really sucked.
And new rule announcement…if you are cybor or cyborg-ish, last round is performed shirtlesss.
Oh, and one more rule of note… Work out in front of the beer fridge at your own risk. Someone almost caught a KB to the face last night when someone (Sarah?) had to wait 2 minutes for a beer! There is a zone of about 3 feet around the beer fridge that is a safe haven, no working out to be done. I’m sure we could ask for a chalk outline, but I thought the halo that surrounded the beer fridge sufficed.
Mike D – Verrry Nice
Jenny V- so true. stay clear of the fridge. and the shirtless comment works both ways ladies.
One way to solve both problems would be to add a beer run to the third round of Helen. Finish your chin ups, grad a couple of beers on your way out the door, and drop them off so we don’t have to block the doorway by getting up to rehydrate.
Ray and Bridget, we reject any new members who are already in really good shape, despite Jenny’s very subtle overtures about eye candy.
Hey now, it has nothing to do with eye candy, I just want to see what kind of body sculpting is possible if I can get in crazy shape. That’s all. Totally innocent…Sarah, where are you?!?! Back me up here?!?!
If you want to see what kind of body sculpting is possible, go check out crossfit central’s video library…Joey likey.
Did we get some new beastmasters joining?!
I don’t trust video or photo as a medium. Need to see it in the flesh. Photos and videos can be fixed or you can catch a weird light (like my before photo that still looks 10x better than my real self right now).
Peace out brothas and sistas, heading to the Bravos game.
Have fun with this WOD today, FJ said it almost killed him. I’m going to maybe tackle it tomorrow if I have use of my arms back which is doubtful.
This wod has a flaw – each freaking set is going to take me 15 minutes, so I cant even get 2 AMRAPS in…
Go faster
I bet you can get 3 rounds in at least – 30 pullups is pretty high for an AMRAP though fo real.
Since I have JUMPERS knee I wont be JUMPING on the box…so that will be really slow too. Maybe it will give me a rest though.
Kris Kross will make you …
Daddy Mack will make you…
For all you Dawn Patrol and Porn fans out there….
Was at a stop light across from Mezzo on Peachtree a block from the gym this am. The bottom level apartment is rockin porn at 5:30 am on a big ass TV!
I decided to sit thru the next light! 
I knew I needed new blinds..Ray,that was the Director’s cut of Point Break, not porn….
No hot chicks in Point Break (and no, swayze does not count as a chick, Mike)…must have been a shitty porn.
Joey, did you not see Johnny Utah’s girlfriend?? Not all hot chicks look like Chloe from 24
Chicks with buzz cuts aren’t hot…that chick is gross, brah. Her next casting job after Point Break was the weasle’s (Pauly Shore) girlfriend in Tank Girl or something terrible…
Joey, if I put her in FADO after you have had two bear fights, you would be winking and smiling at her all night. After three bear fights, you would be winking and smiling at the guys that played Bunker and Warchild as well.
Wow more pullups??
My arms won’t stop twitching after last night. It is a weird feeling. I tried to lift my arms to show my friend at work what a “kip” is and I almost cried.
Good thing tonight I will be at Jimmy Buffet, and the only lifting I will do will be beer to mouth
Ray – gross
haha…nice.
“back off Warchild! I mean it!”
Joe what did Kyle say about Crossfit this morning?
He was just talking about how all his time has been around opening his box in the past 4 months, and he is finally back on track now to do his MMA fight in Auburn.
I had a dinosaur egg hatch out of my arm last night fo real from Helen. NO MORE PULL UPS! Can we have an anti-pull up party similar to the “Tea Party” held in ATL…only we can call it the “Tea Bag Party”???
PS…Baby Noel got her hard cast off her sniffer.
Might as well just blog vomit…
Mike D…watch out for the BOX today. I know the BOX attacked you the last time that you were aquainted with it. So just be gentle and you should be ok – it shouldn’t fight back!
The box always seems to junmp out of my way as I am in mid air, and it ain’t pretty when I miss. I won’t be there tonight to miss it, however, so we are all safe.
PS…the new Cyborg in training Tupac’ed last night. So I am debating whether or not he is true Cyborg material. Unless we can verfiy that he eats microchips for Breakie…the jury is still out.
But daaaaaaaaaaamn
Yeah, but how much does this boy bench? That’s what I want to know.
i was pretty impressed with him busting out 12 deadhangs in a row during round one…
I am outta here… see you people tomorrow PM!
What did this guy get on Helen? If he is Beastlord material me and him will have to go head to head – just not in running / burpees / rowing hooooahh.
Bone Yard Cantina for Lunch. I should blow right through this WOD.
Only 40 posts at 1PM?!!!! Everyone ditching work I assume.
How much ya bench Ray
Zillions!
Jackass
where are all the skanks…we need to be talking about box, not benchpress
yeah where the hell is Mc Dirty, Maddy, Jill, Whitney….take it back to the gutter!
I would be my life savings ($297) that 3 out of 4 on on their knees somewhere right now!
Game over – you’re dog meat pal!
Sorry you guys have missed me… I’ve been out shaking hands at a marketing event, hoping nobody would notice the calluses I created from Helen and this morning’s WOD… FYI – this morning’s WOD sucked… and yes, it’s very hard to get out very many rounds… I think FJ was 2+, I was only 1+… TOUGH WOD.
It’s like Annie doing Annie as an AMRAP in 20 mins.
Ryen, I would have to give mad props if 3 out of the 4 of them are on their knees.
This WOD does look like a big bag of suck. Might be some vom involved.
If CFPT were a dance move, it would be the BOX trot
or the “skanky” leg…
…yea, that was bad…i’m just bored

Article about “Danny”
I can do tha skanky leg!
I think I need to incorporate kettlebell swings to my warmup. My goldbergs are sore as hell from Helen.
wait til you do DT homie.
Guys, are we still on to man smell up the gym tomorrow evening..I was hoping to do DT, get the testosterone all flowing, grunting, burping, the whole nine yards
Go at it Mike – You and Joe need to make that one up – Ill be doing Helen or Danny tomorrow. Probably Helen b/c im not going to get there until 6:40
I have the utmost confidence you two beastmongrels can man smell it up plenty on your own with DT
WHat about Aquaman?? We shall know him by the trail of his sweat…
Mike – me and Todd are doing DT tomorrow. You better be there.
Ohhhh snaps its a DT off.
That’s it…it’s a walk off folks…old school rules.
Joey, I may be done by the time you get there, but I know I will be done, home, showered, and ready to unce unce unce by the time you get warmed up and started.
