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

Triplet: Press, Box Jump, Double unders

Training: (Function)

6 sets @ high effort:
5 tough push press - grunt effort
10 high box jumps - so you have to explode up each time
45 Double Unders AFAP
rest walk 4 min b/t sets actively

Results
Sets 1-5
Push Press @ 115#
Box Jump @ 31inch
Double Unders: missed once each set except for one round which was unbroken

Set 6
Push Press @ 115#
Box Jump @ 39 inches (pr)
Double Unders: one miss at 30 reps

Felt great throughout this workout. I haven't been doing a whole lot of box jumps, so I felt 30 inches was a good starting place, and it was challenging enough for 10 reps. I knew I could go higher as I started feeling more comfortable, so I moved on to 39 inches. That was definitely a better "challenging" hight for me to do. Push press felt good. I had hoped to be able to do a little more weight since we've been doing a lot of pressing lately, but for today 115 was plenty. As for the double unders I was a bit upset that I had some trouble getting the sets unbroken, but I think it all comes down to technique. They were meant to be fast, and because of that my form went downhill a little and I feel that's what tripped me up.
