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

OPt: Function

Warm Up
10 push ups
10 sit ups
100 singles

(x3)


Training

A1. Paused Standing Press @ 12X2; 4-6 x 4; rest 90 sec
A2. Clean Grip Dead Lift @ 3211; 3-5 x 4; rest 90 sec
B. Depth Push Ups - elevate hands - 20/set x 3; rest 1 min only b/t sets
(fraction as needed)
C. GHD Sit Ups - 20 x 4; rest 90 sec

Results:
A1. set 1: 75x6 reps
       set 2-4: 80x6 reps
A2. all sets: 185x5 reps
B. set 1: Hands on top of 45lb plates/ 20 unbroken
    sets 2-3: hands on 45 plate + 25 plate
C. GHD sit up: 2 sets of 10 reps

Felt great through the whole workout. I may have been able to go slightly heavier on the presses, but 6 reps was plenty tough with tempo. 185 for the deadlifts was a good weight with the tempo given. 3 seconds down is fairly tough, but picking the weight up wasn't any problem for me. Felt real good with the push ups, shoulders were a little burnt out from the presses, but I'm happy with how the push ups went. I've only done GHD sit ups one other time at crossfit, so I had to knock the numbers down quite a bit. The plan was to do four sets of 10, however my back started hurting pretty bad after the second set so I stopped there.
