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.
Five sets for times of:
Run 400 Meters
315/225 lb Deadlift x 10 reps
Chest-to-Bar Pull-Ups x 20 reps
Run 400 Meters
Rest exactly 5 minutes

I shouldn’t have to say this…but please modify the loads to make this session reasonable based on your abilities. The deadlift should be performed at a load that may be difficult, but can be done unbroken in at least the first three sets. The pull-up volume should be reduced to a volume that you can complete them in no more than three sets. If that means you only do 9 pull-ups each round, that is fine, but I don’t want you spending 5 minutes trying to complete 20 pull-ups each set.

B.
Create or Review and Revise 3-Month Training Goals – write down what you would like to accomplish before the end of the year. Share to comments if you would like, and/or keep them somewhere visible, but they must be written.


Results:

Set 1. 4:46

Set 2. 5:27

Set 3. 5:43

Set 4. 5:34

Set 5. 5:40

Possibly went too easy on each round, but probably would have completely died out by the last round or two otherwise. DL @185, 15 CTB each round. Looked like a wounded animal on the second 400 of each round, not sure what the issue was today, maybe just low energy.
