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

Regularly learn and play new sports

OPT: Will

I have decided to make a little change to the normal programming and jump head first into a new program design. It may be a small change and it may be a giant leap  forward, but I'm willing to give it a shot. My max lifts, benchmark times, and skills may not be up to par with the other members of this group but I feel I need the extra push. In order to reach some of my goals I feel I need more exposure to some of the higher skilled activities that CrossFit has to offer and this group will provide that exposure for me. Sometimes it's necessary to put yourself in unfamiliar territory in order to grow.

Let's begin



A. Thruster. Build to a 1RM from ground in 12 min

B1 thruster 10,10,10 rest 20 sec
B2. CTB pull ups x 15 unbroken; rest 3min

C. AMRAP DU's in 45 sec; rest 15seconds x 8


Notes:
- be aggressive on thruster 
- for B1 thruster 10 unbroken is expected 

Results 

A. 155
B1. 95 (all sets unbroken)
B2. Unbroken sets, 3-4 butterfly CTB, couldn't string anymore together, the rest were kipping
C. 54, 52, 40, 48, 48, 44, 45, 51
