Saturday morning CrossFit, woot!

Warmup:
3x the following:
-50 jumprope
-10 lunges with medicine ball held straight overhead
-5 knees-to-elbows

Workout:
10 sets, 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps of the following circuit:
-pullups
-box jumps
-kettleball swings
-thrusters

I did a little more than half my pullups using an elastic band (my feet in the band so I had an upward force to help me lift myself), the other half of my pullups were jumping into them.

A kettle ball is like a shot put with a handle on it; kettleball swings are when you swing it from the ground to eye level at arms length...killer on the hamstrings, it's awesome.

Squat thrusters are with just the 45-lb bar, you do a regular squat with the bar in front of you, but when you come up, you also lift your arms straight up to the sky and a little behind your head. I did the first 2.5 sets with the bar, but I had to switch to a PVC bar (so, really, no weight, just a placeholder to make my form correct) because my arms were dead.

Overall, the workout was pretty hard, but I think part of that was the fact that I was sick towards the end of the week. I was respiratorally challenged during this workout, especially after the box jumps, and I was also muscularly challenged. My arms are still weak. Lame.

Can't wait to go back on Monday!
