Crossfit???

Got the shoes today! Thanks again.

How much weight did you say these will add to my deadlifts? Lol

 

Bout 64748848 lbs

 

glad you got them. thank you!

they'll easily add 100 lbs to each one of your oly lifts and take 30 seconds off your fran time haha

 

Sweet! Lol


Just tried them on for a sec but they feel very light. Can't wait to train in them.

 

last night was a good night for me at the box. i finally got my form correct on overhead squats and was able to do them for the first time without falling forward of dislocating my arms. i was also able to get my kipping rhythm down and do multiple pull ups without having to hang and re-adjust

last nights wod was a hero wod "Josh"
the only bad thing is i tore the hell out of my hand on the last set of pullups but i got them all.

 

^ I bruised my ribs last week, so pull ups and as I found out this morning, overhead squats; are out for another week or so.

Luckily it hasn't interferred with my running, as I ran a 25K trail race last weekend, and have a 15K this Sat.

 

I have my first crossfit competition this saturday can't wait. WODs are kinda dull but will be fun.

 

Just started 3 weeks ago. I am a pretty fit guy and it is kicking my ass, but I love it!

 

Today's WOD.
Started out before with running with one of our coaches. He wanted me to pace him. So we did 3 800m runs with 3 minutes rest between. My times were 2:45, 2:59, and 2:53.
Strength:
Find a 3 rep max touch and go power clean. Finished at 215. Pretty excited for that was still super tired from the run.
WOD:
4 rounds
25 hand release push ups
25 KB swings @ 53lb
My time was 10:50.
That WOD was rough it absolutely kills your forearms. Plus I hate pushups. I have long arms so I have to do so much more work. But great WOD though.

 

last nights WOD sucked. no one and i mean no one at our box finished it RX.

so all you hard core guys i challenge you to try this one and see how you do.

150 wall ball shots 12 minute max
emom 6 hspu

thats right you start with wall balls but then every minute on the minute you do 6 handstand push ups then back to wall balls.

there are some crazy fit guys at our box and they did not even come close.


i tried it but i scaled to 3 hspu's instead of the 6 and in 12 minutes i got 115 wall balls and my 3 hspus

good luck if you try it

 

Sounds fun! I'm going to try and get my box to do it

 

I will have to try it in December when I get back to the station.

 

Lol my wife said the shoes look like Ronald McDonald shoes. Lol

 

Two words: PUMICE STONE
it sounds really girly but it will save your hands. I tore my calluses twice before I started using one. Now five months later haven't had a tear or a blood blister since even after doing max effort clapping pull-ups and toes to bar. Good luck hope this helps

Good WOD tonight for us.
Against a 12 minute clock you had to row 2000m then in the remaining time you would do as many lateral burpees over a 6" hurdle as you can. I finished with a 7:22 on the row then banged out 46 burpees after. I was pretty stoked with that. After 4 of 6 classes it was the fastest row and the most burpees. I hate burpees, they're no fun when you're tall and lanky. But Ill take it for sure

 

I'm getting ready to start doing crossfit here in the next couple of days. I went to some of the fundamental classes at the "box" I'm going to. I can't wait to start the regular classes. Anyone got some tips or advice for me?
