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

Did this workout coming off of a 12 hour night shift. Was feeling pretty good and had enough energy to put some good effort into this workout. Felt the fatigue of working all night in the pull ups and row but still put the energy forth to make it through. weight was kept a little lower than I would normally go on the presses. I wanted to make sure I got it completely locked out and held it for 1 second at the top. I think I'm still having trouble locking out because of tight shoulders but felt that I had made some progress with it today. Felt very good with the push presses, got the weight up nicely and was able to lock it out without too much trouble. I waited a good 20 min before doing the double unders. I decided to try to pace it more than I have in the past. As time was expiring I was feeling good and minimizing errors but had paced a little to much and ran out of time, otherwise I was feeling good enough to hit a PR.
