Get more Noggin in your noggin!
Noggin - we've all got one, and we all do our best to put it to good use...well, maybe most of the time!
Ever wonder what role exercise plays in how well you use your noggin?
It turns out there is a perfectly named brain protein, called Noggin, that increases stem cell divisions and neurogenesis. And the best part is, exercise increases the amount of Noggin in your noggin - meaning your noggin works better! Here's the full article Phys Ed: Your Brain on Exercise. At CrossFit Kids, the high schoolers spend time at the end of class doing their homework or reading - after their workout, and their grades have gone up!
So keep coming in and working up a sweat - you're not only improving your body, but your mind as well!

Cindy is kind of a sadist. 16 Rounds with scaled pull ups and push ups. Up two rounds from 2/22.
Going backward on the SP, unfortunately.
115# (down from 135#)?

Yeah, Cindy is not nice. As RX: 16+25. Did all butterfly until the last round. Push ups stink! Up from 16+11 in October.

SP -up to 170 (PR) Surprisingly my shoulders felt great today after Diane yesterday. Still managed to get some handstand pushups in.
I agree Cindy is not pleasant but is no Murph.
WOD as RX- 16+7

Gymnastics Warm-up #1- kept the intensity down knowing I had Cindy ahead of me
Press 5-3-1-1-1: 155(established a PR)-166.25(PR)-170-175-183.75(PR)
I somehow managed to set PR’s on 5,3, and 1 rep maxes 1 day after trashing my shoulders with all of those HSPU’s… head scratcher
Cindy as Rx: 18+5

My callouses are still torn up, and the pull-ups became pretty hard at the end mostly because of grip. I might have to be a little girl about it and start wearing gloves.
17 rounds even, as Rx’d. (Used my right wrist for the pushups though.)
SP I hit 131.25 after failing with 135.
Later in the day I officially started my strength building linear progression with 5x5 back squats. 135-155-155-175-185

Yogadude, as long as your purse matches your gloves, you’ll be alright!
And nice work on your linear progression. It will be tough, but you’ll get super strong!

SP: 135-155-185-205(fail)-195(fail)
Stayed at my old PR of 185, was really wanting to get 205…. I have some work to do before that I guess
Cindy as RX: 20 rounds,
I came into today hoping to get over 20, but for my first Cindy I don’t think I can complain, air squats were the killer for me as I suspected

SP:95-105-115-115-125f
Cindy as RX: 21+3
Up from 13+2 RX+20lb in March
– Murph on July 20th, 2010 at 8:15 pm
Great job today everyone! Saw some impressive performances and movements (for the most part) were meeting the standards
Wonder what’s in store for tomorrow? Helen? Fran? … maybe a curveball w/ Murph?
– Jesse on July 20th, 2010 at 8:38 pm
Improved a bit on shoulder press-previous PR was 115, did 121.25 today.
Cindy-did 14+6 rounds with some modifications, but the push ups on the knees were probably too easy. I’m right on the cusp with push ups-had I done regular push ups the entire workout, I would’ve been closer to 11 rounds or something I suspect.

Today I did 10 rds of
-20DU
