Hi guys,
Can we have some suggestions for a tribute workout for a very good friend of ours who was tragically killed yesterday at just 16 y/o. We have the details on our website. www.crossfittyneside.blogspot.com
What I want to do is arrange a tribute workout up here and if it could be replicated at all of your gyms or even alone in your sheds and garages on a set day at a set time we could put something together- maybe a photo of everyone who has the workout with the board and Jake's name on it at each location. I will then compile them print bind and present to his elder brother who is only 21 himself along with any money we raise locally up here.
I have known the family a long time and Jake was also a good friend to CF Tyneside. Any ideas thoughts for a good workout would be appreciated.
Best Wishes
Ben W

My condolences to you and Jake's family.
What did he like to do (or more likely NOT like to do)? The workout should incorporate elements that allude directly to Jake, not something totally random that we can come up with.
Either way, I'll have the guys at SPQR run through it and will get pictues/tape of it for you.

Hey Ben,
Firstly sorry to hear about Jake. Our thoughts go out to his family and friends. My gym is closed due to weather but will try get my guys tio do this at some stage soon and send detail. Quick question - Are these weights in kg's and if so have you got the number sright for the loads. 185kg hangpower clean and push jerks. Not sure this will be acheivable for anyone on here or at my affiliate

I'm like a goddamn Navy Seal and Olympic gold medalist wrapped in a f***ing suit of body armour. I'm f***ing elite.

They babble into hand-held twit machines about that cool e-mail of the woman being bummed by a wolf. Their cool friend made it. He's an idiot too. Welcome to the age of stupidity, hail the rise of the idiots!"

"Don't get hung up on the stopwatch or times, or even weight lifted, think about technique, technique, technique and listening to your body. You will not perform better every session and that is set in stone. Test your self every month keep a written journal not just a forum, a place where you can keep personal notes that you can read to motivate yourself. Don't compare yourself to others when you are working out and likewise do not think that you are already fit as fcuk!!! As someone will always be in front and behind you, ultimate confidence in your abilities yes, but arrogance no, there is a fine line.
But most of all do the things you hate above the things you like or are good at, this will make you a better athlete. Save the things you like for recreational sessions. But ultimately enjoy it, even when you hate it! And finally remember the mind will always give in before the body!"
Here endeth the lesson.

Three of us did this in the garage this morning (all scaled). Workout sucked big style and have to admit I felt like quitting but just ploughed on through - a real gut check actually.
Chris: weight: 47.5Kgs. Time: 10:36 (4 Rounds - injured arm so had to stop but muscled on through the fourth round which was good to see)
Tim: weight: 30Kgs Time: 11:32
Stephen: Weight: 60Kgs Time: 18:17
Going to do it again at the 47.5 weight and get a decent time for ya.
Picture will be incoming of Tim and Chris post workout (I am not in it because I am taking the photo).
RIP Jake

Much appreciated boys. We raise £803 in the two hour window we had today so should help the family quite considerably.
Thank you to all those who have sent condolences, thoughts and donations. The solidarity and genuinity of this community is humbling.
