New toys

And so it was bequethed upon us.
Actually, we got a new bench-my buddy Jason (who builds hotrods and monster trucks) gave me a bench that he had made for personal use-it was a little worn and rusty but a well made piece of kit-so I refurbished it-sprayed it matt black, re-upholstered it (in black) and we used it for yesterdays wod.
Lynne.
bodyweight bench press and pullups for 5 rounds.

This threw a lot of people really-CrossFit is functional fitness-and bench press is regarded as either powerlifting or a bodybuilding movement. (not that there is anything wrong with that-ahem) So we don't really see it come up in our wods-except for Lynne and Linda.
The other factor was the lack of stop watch-people stood around talking between their sets-which was weird-it almost felt like a globo-ugh.

And yes we did scale the weight on the benching.
