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

100 back supermans in sets of 20
rest as needed b/t sets - hands at temples

Results
- Chin Ups: Completed the pull ups strict as much as I could in hollow body position. If I kipped at all it was to complete one or two more reps if I got stuck. Kipped 5 reps on sets 5 and 7, otherwise completed them strict.
- push ups, sit ups, squats: The time per set was between 45-55 seconds. Wanted very much to complete this unbroken every set. Got stuck with the push ups in the later rounds and had to break it up a little, otherwise it was kept fast and unbroken.
- Supermans: completed in sets of 20, very short breaks b/t sets

     Felt great today. Extremely happy with the pull ups. Didn't think I would be able to keep them strict as long as I did. The only time I needed to kip a little was on the last rep or two on sets 4 and 5. Wasn't even a full kip, just a little push to get over the bar. Sets 5 and 7 I did full kips for 5 reps. The next part of the workout went by without much trouble. Ended up breaking the push ups up a little in the last 2 rounds but otherwise everything was kept fast and unbroken.
