Understanding Crossfit

I don't know that I really do understand it, but I try.
The message is worth the time I spend.
I'll keep posting.


Today I did a CrossFit warmup of 15, 500m row, 5 minute max incline walk.

"Elizabeth"

21-15-9 reps of:
Clean 135 pounds (subbed 80 lbs)
Ring dips
10:06

V did CFWU: 3 rds of 6 and a 5 minute walk followed by

"Nancy"

Five rounds for time of:
400 meter run
95 pound Overhead squat, 15 reps (subbed 10 lb bar)
17:30

When she finished we did about 5 minutes on training mitts with the 12 oz. gloves.

"Helen"

Three rounds for time:
Run 400 meters
1 1/2 pood Kettlebell X 21 swings (subbed a 35 pound dumbbell swing)
12 Pull-ups

For some reason in my small eyes the 5lb DB looked so big that I talked myself into using 35lbs. In hindsight that was dumb, as I did all three rounds unbroken on swings.
11:36 (ran on treadmill)

In the afternoon did about an hour of sustainment toward Brown Belt with the high (possibly unrealistic) goal of actually taking tests this week. We'll see how that goes.

V ran through "Jackie" 100o m row with 50x25lb bar thrusters & 35x15lb DB swing in 11:06. SHe's getting feirce. M starts tomorrow (or so we're told.)

"Nancy"

Five rounds for time of:

400 meter run

95 pound Overhead squat, 15 reps

AS RX'ED!!!!!!!!!!!!

26:30

This was the first time I ever did this at full weight and the first time I ever completely lost a barbell mid overhead squat. I pushed it forward as I fell, dumping the (iron) weight with a gym stopping boom. The little old ladies were not impressed, I was not fazed. I went on to (carefully) finish in 26:30.
