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

A little upset about the deadlifts today. Should have been able to pull more weight, even with the tempo. Started rounding the back on the way up. Maybe I wasn't getting set right but wasn't going to push the matter today. Kept the weight down a little so I could keep the form and tempo for all sets. Just going to move on from here and not worry about it too much. I'm know my numbers are improving, even if today wasn't the best. Felt ok with the DB presses. Still bothered by my tight shoulders but it's something to work on. I'm happy with the double unders...although I was focusing on the clock more than the double unders which I think is why I got tripped up more than I should have. Either way I was smoked by the end of 5 sets.
