So, another fun-filled night at the Alamo CrossFit box yesterday. I didn't go Monday evening so that the wife could (my kids+having to wait at the gym+lots of stuff they can get a hold of=Trouble Inc.), Tuesday and Wednesday found me late at the office wrapping up a project so Thursday was the day to get back to it and torture my body yet again.
Looked at the board when I walked in and instantly thought, "Well, this is going to be fun".
Tonight's menu looked like this:
Calisthenics (30 seconds each x2 rounds except as noted):
Jumping Jacks
Shuffle Splits
20 Slamballs
30 seconds bottom pushup hold x 3
Stretching
Warmup:
Jumping Squats w/45# bar for 1 minute (My count=32)
WOD:
"Death By Pushups"
Using a running clock, perform 2 pushups the first minute, 4 the second minute, 6 the third minute, etc, etc, etc until failure to complete pushups within the alloted minute.
Then, with no rest after failure in the pushups, transition to...
"Death By Pullups/Situps"
Using the same running clock, perform 1 pullup and 1 situp the first minute, 2 pullups and 2 situps the second minute, lather, rinse and repeat. Count total rounds completed successfully.
The ugly truth: I completed nine rounds on the pushups (Which equals to 90 pushups total) and nine rounds on the pullups/situps (Which equals to 45 pullups and 45 situps).
Total of 18 rounds completed as prescribed.
Looks like fun, no?
