CrossFit Notes

This last week, I finally decided to start recording my statistics at CrossFit. I think it's important to start recording stuff, so I can actually see progress written down. Some people carry in notebooks, but at least the staff has a bunch of clipboards available, with recycled papers and pens for writing.

Here are my results so far:

17 October 2008:

Workout: "Fight Gone Bad"

Explanation: "Fight Gone Bad" is a workout where you do max reps of an exercise for 1 min. at a time, and then you do the entire rotation 3x. You add up the totals of each exercise, and the total is your "score".


Exercises / R1 total / R2 total / R3 total:

Wall-Ball/ 32/ 26/ 28

Sumo Dead-Lift High Pull/ 20/ 20/ 18

Your results look great! Yesterday we did the Filthy 10 as part of the warm up, and it was the first time I did 10 burpees in a row.

I can't stand any workouts where it asks for max reps. It's so hard for me to gauge because if I do too many, I'll die, but if I don't do enough, I'll feel guilty.

It's so hard to gauge!

Hehe, thanks!

I still have yet to do a burpee. It's just a brand of tomato seeds to me ;) ...

The max reps are tough for me, too... I cuss a lot. Mostly under my breath. :)
