Do the following for time: 

  • 50 Air Squats
  • 50 Double Unders (or 200 skips)
  • 40 KB Swings (20L, 20R)
  • 40 Sit Ups
  • 30 Back Squats 65/45 (do in 3 sets of 10 if necessary)
  • 30 Push Press 65/45 
  • 20 Front Squats
  • 20 Pull Ups
  • 10 Sit Up – Get Ups
  • 10 KB Snatch

 

 

I really liked this workout especially the skipping and the Sit-Up Get Ups.

I did not bring my knee brace so this workout hurt quite a bit.

I did not do the second loop of the Farmer’s Carry and Waiter’s Walk as I ran out of time.

I skipped the three 2 minute rests.

I was quite proud of all that I accomplished today and I found it was about the same difficulty as yesterday but it was more enjoyable as it was cooler.

Met-Con WOD: “Skill Intro Chipper”

  • 1 Wall Walk and hold
  • 2 Front Rolls
  • 3 Burpee Pull Ups 
  • 4 Tire Flips
  • 5 Barbell Rollouts
  • 1 lap of the school
  • 6 Knees to Elbows (or knees up)
  • 7 Pendlay Rows with bar
  • 8 Thrusters with bar
  • 9 KB swings
  • 10 OHS (Overhead Squat) with PVC or light bar
  • 1 lap of the school
  • 15 Bench Press
  • 20 hard-core pulls on the rower 
  • 25 Med Ball Sit Ups with partner
  • 30 Bench Hops
  • 35 calories on the Ski Erg
  • 40 seconds on the Airdyne
  • 45-second side Planks for both right and left sides
  • 50 Skip singles
  • 1 lap of the school

 

 

Did not do the 45-second side planks as we were not supposed to.

Instead of doing 35 calories on the Ski Erg, I did 20 pulls.

As we were running out of time, I only did five Med Ball Situps with a 20-pound ball

I did 7 Pendley Rows incorrectly and then had my stance corrected so I did 7 more properly.

All in all my main thoughts on Crossfit are that it’s hard, hot, and sweaty but that I feel very good after pushing myself. I also like that I am making sure I get fitter and I love the feeling I had after working out today. I just hope tomorrow is a little cooler.
