The View From Outside

It’s often difficult to recall what CrossFit looked like to you before you did CrossFit. Remember your first workout?  Remember thinking how absurd all the names of the movements were, not to mention the number of reps you were supposed to do and all those crazy people in the room that were covering their hands in chalk?

Maybe you’re nothing like the writer of “The Great Fitness Experiment” but it is interesting to hear a professional dabbler (she tries a new workout methodology every month) talk about her CrossFit experience and it may remind you of the initial rush/crush of being a Crossfitter.  She freely shares her experiences – both the positive (she says CrossFit was the workout that produced the best results) and the negative (she complains about sore wrists and the complicated nature of learning the Olympic lifts.  Plus you can read about 11 other workout systems she tried as well as her grab bag of neuroses.  Good stuff.  Check out her blog here.

Anybody remember their first day of kindergarten?

Each 2 minute AMRAP includes a 24 meters of OH lunges prior to executing any reps of the designated movement.  Thus, you start the clock, do 24 meters of OH lunges (45/35) then do as many pull ups (or whatever) as you can with the remaining time.

Check the whiteboard for numbers.
