CFC teams up with Amy LaFleche to help orphanges in Tibet
7 rounds for time:
20 Shoulder Press
20 Sit Ups
Coach’s notes: Guys use 75 lbs and gals 45 lbs for shoulder press. Post time to complete to comments.
Compare to August 12, 2009
A note from Amy LaFleche-
CrossFit Calgary and members donated a total of $200 for the children at the Warithang Orphanage in Tibet who, as a result, received new skipping ropes, basketballs, soccer balls, and dodge balls. I had the opportunity to personally deliver the new gear and can tell you first hand that the kids were so incredibly excited and truly grateful.
When I first arrived at the orphanage the kids were playing with a flat basketball that didn’t bounce and another game using rocks. Thanks to CFC, by the time I left they were organizing their own leap frog and wheelbarrow races, playing basketball and soccer non-stop, doing burpees and double unders, and having a ridiculous amount of fun with it all.
On behalf of the Himalayan Orphanage Project, the 182 orphans living at the orphanage, and for myself personally, I would like to give the biggest thank you to CFC and community for all of your donations, encouragement, and support. A very special thanks to Chantal who helped coordinate the fundraising and the planning of the games.

Did abmat unanchored sit ups. Dont really think these slow me down compared to anchored sit ups or unanchored.
All sit-ups unbroken. First round press unbroken, second broken once, third round began 5 or 4s, and did between 2s and 4s as needed to get done
13:16 as rx’d…
I just got my new Do-Win lifting shoes from Power Firm in MB. They sent me 2 pairs & I’m to return the non-fitting pair. But instead of returning the shoes, I can sell them and send the $125 cost.
So if anybody wants a pair of size 8 Do-Win shoes, email me at p_morin@shaw.ca. Before Friday. They are the white with red & black trim on Power Firm web site.
25:34 As Rx’d
Nearly 10 minutes quicker than my last attempt but still much to be gained on this one for me.

13:17 as rx’d
Great job david83! that is an awesome time…..
25:54 as rx’d.
Not a great time, but 5 minutes faster than last time, and previously it was out of a rack. It probably didn’t help that I did a 5×5 shoulder press workout yesterday, but I doubt it made that much of a difference…
24:32
30:41 as rx’d
non anchored
from rack
changed wod to 5 rounds of 10 reps of shoulder press (65 lbs) and GHD situps… just under 25 mins. did first round of press straight thru, after that it got ugly- and slow. GHDs unbroken.
9:41 as rx’d
anchored sit ups, bar from the floor
smallest first set of SP was last round at 9reps, didn’t have to go down to singles for the SP this time.
Oh, and…fantastic picture Amy!!! Thanks for sharing the story!
