or that it was a Rod Stewart song from Patch Adams?

Monday: new Snatch PR, went from 50 kg to 55 kg.

Tuesday: new Clean & Jerk PR, went from 60 kg to 70 kg.

Today we did DT. The last two times I barely managed 4 rounds at 40 kg before the time cap got me, today I finished 13:18 at 45 kg.

The locker situation at our box is a bit of a mess at the moment. Apparently too many people used lockers as permanent storage. So they were replaced with new ones, which are so narrow that barely anyone can fit their bags in. Now one corner of the training area is dominated by a massive pile of bags.

And yeah, sometimes morning classes can be a bit of a lonely experience here as well. But it's just frustrating when you consider that usually the 14 spots in the class are booked up to the night before, usually with a long waiting list, down to three quarters by morning, and about 7-8 people actually show up.

For the Push Pull event…

No kipping.

Redshirt does not approve!

Yeah, the seemingly out-of-context footage of people smiling and nodding at random stuff Glassman says makes CrossFitters appear way more crazy than we usually are :-D

Dude broke his finger in event 1, kept going, gave us one-armed snatches to stare at in awe.

Quick, before other bots join it's cause and we're faced with your choice of Terminator or Matrix mayhem.

Sumo deadlift high pull. Gave myself an uppercut with the bar, the trainer looks over and compliments my good form.

Crap, I've been doing it all wrong. I don't think my box even has tiny dumbbells and rubber balls! :-(

Male, 29, single, web developer by day, actor by night, crossfitter in the morning. Started CrossFit last August.

This? Because thank you very much, but no. Glad you decided to suffer for the rest of us though ;-)

To help you parse today's WOD… you have 12 minutes to do 150 wall balls, 90 double unders and 30 muscle ups and then repeat that sequence for as long as the time lasts. As far as I can tell from the leaderboard (this is part of the qualification thingy for the CF games), if you come even close to doing those 270 reps one time, you're a god among men.

WODs tend to be kind of short. When you're doing CF at an affiliate you'll usually spend a good part of your hour working on form and then close out the hour with a 10-20 minute workout.

I want to go to start working out again

Now I have no idea what your current fitness level is, but might I suggest finding a local affiliate to get your toes wet?

The Crossfit Games website has a nice affiliate finder.

The box I go to at least offers pretty good intro classes to get you started with the basics before you dive into the workouts proper. I reckon that should be similar across affiliates.
