[bigdogbob]

cheers barbelle look forward to hearing you hit it too.

Went to my 3rd class in a row tonite and I was tired and sore, as were the rest, luckily it was a team workout.

Started with a 500m row for time..only 2 girls there so I'm on the board again Miss Ford..with a time of 1:59 secs, the other girl clocked in at 2:01

Rob won it for the boys with 1:34. Amazing how knackered it makes you :evil:

Team workout:

3 in a team, break it up as you choose but only one team member working at a time,except for the run which you do together

Row 2000m (yeah good one after a hard out 500m row)

100 burpees

run 400m

50 pullups

run 400m

100 wall balls

2 teams and our team (2 girls 1 guy) took it out 21:34 to 21:44 (3 guys)

I was stuffed after.

Last class 9:15 tomorrow,I know it will be super hard cos there's no more classes til Monday and I'm not sure if I can cope with 4 in a row, but hey when you're hooked you're hooked :nod: :doh:

[bigdogbob]

ate up big yest, still at it today but stopped into the gym for a little workout.

Did the baseline workout so I have something i can do every couple of weeks and compare and get better at :pray: :pray: :pray:

400m run

40 squats

30 situps

20 pressups

10 pullups

took me 6mins 19 secs which puts me at Level 2 of 4 on the crossfit scale

1 being beginner and 4 being weapon of mass destruction

gotta do it in 4 mins to crack that level....yeah right :shifty:

then just practised someof the basics..kipping pullup,barbell thrusters, double under skips, deadlifts, sit ups and a few others

Class back on Monday, it was a lot harder without the competiton and encouragement of the others

[rose]

Shit you wouldn't want something bad to happen mid kipping pull up, causing you to munt your teeth on the bar or rip your shoulder out of it's socket :shock:

[bigdogbob]

true true

There's another way to do it called the butterfly kip, like the swim stroke..those dudes so look like they're about to clip their chin and crack their teeth every time. :shock: :pfft:

[teamfatboy]

I always wondered what a kipping pull-up was.... impressed! I can see how it would hammer the hands something chronic.

[runveerun]

:salute: :salute: I'm in awe of your crossfit Nessie! You need a beer after all that! :shock: Well done Miss! :clap:

[bigdogbob]

Cheers

Back to it today but I'm feeling decidedly sore in the joints, ankles and wrists in particular..it's quite punishing on them the ol crossfit... yeah I know harden up I hear you say :oops:

Gotta set some goals to work towards on my way to becoming a weapon of mass destruction :gunfire:

at the mo it's more like this :horseshit: :nod:

Yep, the joints take a hammering - but what doesn't kill ya makes ya strong :nod:.

Mind you, whoever said that left out about what doesn't kill ya still hurts like hell! :nod:

I suppose it'd be mean to remind you of this:

It's the New Years resolution that and stop drinking beer on Mondays :pfft:

:grin:

Be careful. Your body needs rest time to adapt, too. It's not always about hardening up. Take it from the master, an injury is not something you want to deal with. Taking a light week or two to recover properly is much better than missing a few months of training because something tore.
