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

After a rough weekend of no working out, have been feeing very lazy with no motivation. Came into today feeling much better and ready to put some solid work in. Felt good using 35 pounds for the pull ups. I believe a few workouts ago I attempted 40 pounds with tempo, and reps got a bit sketchy. Today I wanted solid reps (chin over bar and a full 3 seconds down) The 90 second rest went pretty quick and I didn't have my set up ready for ring dips, so I did the first set with body weight which I think was a good thing to do. I was able to feel what the depth was like and make sure my form was spot on before adding weight. Concentrated on keeping the hollow body position and external shoulder rotation at the top of the movement. Before the workout I was excited to do lunges, but by the time we got to them I was a bit nervous. I went with 35 pounds. Being in the front rack position is definitely tough for weighted lunges. I was able to keep the steps continuous and got through all five sets pretty well. Would not have gone heavier though. Found out quickly during the tabata sit ups that I need some serious work with my core. I think I had a decent number but feel I dropped in numbers too fast as the rounds went on.
