Dan Gordon's Pull Up/Squat Test

Here it is, Dan's long awaited fitness test at CrossFit Philly. His homework assignment was to prep for 20 pull ups and 500 squats. The pull ups had no time limit but the squats needed to be performed in under 20 minutes.

While Dan fell short of 20 pull ups in a row by only 3, he completed his squats in plenty of time. He even did some burpees in between, finished his last ten with squat jumps, did a few more pull ups and then did a 1 minute plank, all with time to spare. Good work Dan!!

Rest up today to get ready for tomorrow's walk/run and brutal bodyweight workout at the Philadelphia Art Museum, 10am.

In Memory Of...



Many of you who have attended our weekend workouts may remember Tohm. Tohm was also at our very first group workout over a year ago. He was a very light-hearted person with tons of character. We regretfully announce his passing, and send our thoughts to his family and friends. Rest In Peace Tohm. Thank you for your support.
