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

Ring Push Ups/Row

Today had it's ups and downs as far as the workout went. I think you'll be able to tell that something was definitely wrong at one point in the workout today. I haven't spent any time in the past two days thinking about what I've been eating, or how much fluid I'm getting. The fact that I wasn't paying attention to those things shows in todays workout, and also how terrible I felt at the end of the workout.

Warm Up
250m Row
+
10 hand release push ups (games standard)
10 SDHP
10 Lunges
(x3)

Training: (Funtion)



5 sets:
AMRAP ring push ups
rest 0 sec
Row 300 m @ 95% effort
(rest walk actively 5 min b/t sets)
- goal for row is tight form and high output sustained for 300m!

Results
Ring Push Ups
(33,23,18,10,26)

300m Row
(60sec, 63, 68, 72,74)

As you can see on my fourth round of push ups, I completely lost it. After the third round I felt dizzy and a little sick to the stomach. I was 100% ready for this workout and I was focused the whole time. Even in that fourth round I pulled it together for the row. I simply just couldn't hold myself up on the rings because of how light headed I had gotten. All in all I'm very happy with how the workout went. My time on the rower only decreased by a total of 14 seconds. I would have been happier with a 10 second decrease though. I'm also very pleased with the ring push ups. I was a bit nervous because I haven't worked on them recently, but I feel I put up some decent numbers.

-goal from now on is to be smart about my food choices and fluid intake- 

The workouts will come along just fine if I can keep up on the nutrition.

    Kyle this is purely a fuel usage issue. Either A; because you did not fuel properly before the session and used up available glycogen right away or your body got up to lactate threshold and was unable to use the lactic acid as an energy source.

    You haven't done much lactic training so this is probably a combination of the two.
