Crossfit in 100 words

Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch, and no sugar. Keep intake levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: deadlift, clean, squat, presses, c&j, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc..hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports

Got off work early this morning so I decided to get my sleep in first before working out. Slept a solid 7 hours and felt great after I woke up. I had a pre workout drink and then began my workout about 45 min later.

Training


3 Rounds For Time:
        100 double unders
        30 Burpees

Results
17.13

I felt real good going into this workout. I need to work on my burpees, so I figured this workout would be good for me to do. I feel that from the bottom of the movement and up is fairly quick although I don't get to the ground quick enough because I tend to squat with my hands on the ground and then kick my legs back, instead of falling to the ground in one motion: "thoughts and comments?" All in all I think the workout went well. My double unders were solid and didn't have many mistakes. If I stopped it was because I wanted to rest.

My protein I've been using is called "mutant mass." I normally split the serving in half and have two drinks a day.

  1. On your off days from the box that you train, work on some clapping puush ups or plyometric push ups of any type. This will simultaneously improve bouncing up from the bottom of the burpee but also getting down there quicker.

  2. Alone with Coach said, what is your foot placement like? Are your feet close together or outside shoulder width? I find a wide base helps with being quick on the burpees as well.

  3. True. I do tend to keep a narrow base as of I'm going to do a push up. And I do think I need to do more clapping push ups to keep them more explosive
