Everyone seemed beat yesterday in a much different way than usual. CrossFit will always be improving your metcon, but it has very general and widespread fitness goals. So, if you’re not working on things and adding in some supplementary work, there will be some movements that just don’t seem to get much easier, given that we can’t run through the whole gambit of decent movements every week in the WOD. We’ll be programming additional work to be done before or after the WOD to help you guys out. And do the whole warm-up – it ain’t just there to get you warm, but to make sure you never get rusty on a few basic movements.

L-sits were doable, but the whole workout KILLED my grip and forearms. Tons of sets for the pull ups (band) and kettle bell swings. Just awful, i really need to work on my grip!

L-Sits – I tried on the rings, the bar, and the stall bar and nothing but pain and just barely keeping my toes of the floor.

Pull-ups – 16 rounds.

KBs – 5 rounds.

L-sits – I hate everything about them.

Pull-ups – 9 rounds on the blue band. Yeah, the band. Would’ve been 25 rounds w/o it.

KB swings – 4 rounds w/ 1 pood.

8 rounds of pull-ups, 10 rounds of KBs at 1.5 pood. This one was tough and made me feel like garbage.

L-sits and I don’t get along just yet…

8 rounds for the 150 KB swings @1.5 poods,
like 12 or 13 rounds for the 100 pull-ups I think.
