This is a big WOD requiring great lung capacity the KTE and Burpees are the two exercises that slowed everyone down. The best way to get through the Burpees is to break it down into groups of 10, they then become much more manageable.

It seems that, slowly, people are starting to realise that the standard Westerner’s diet is not the healthiest. The following article from The Wall Street Journal fingers high consumption of refined carbohydrates and fat as the major culprits. Although fat is implicated, no details are provided as to why fat should be avoided. The need to reduce or outright remove refined carbs from our diets, on the other hand, is supported with an explaination.

Meet Kojo, one of the strongest individuals I have met. Kojo played in the CFL up until the last year and is now a full time personal trainer. Kojo jumped into a CrossFit strength WOD with me and demonstrated his power in the Press by putting 255 lbs overhead.
Meet Julie a mother of two in her late 40's. Julie has always been active and has been consistently participating in CrossFit WOD's with Burlington CrossFit for the last year. Julie is benefiting from strength training as she get 75 lbs overhead in the Push Press.
Nice lockout with full extension.
