"Those who do not recognize the physiological import of CrossFit - unprecedented increases in work capacity across broad time and modal domains - are left with no rational explanation of CrossFit's popularity and reach. For these people I am typically seen as a marketing savant whose marketing strategies curiously won't replicate. It's like a blind guy wondering why everyone hangs out under lights at night." - Greg Glassman

This was humbling bordering on humiliating. Last time we did 30 M-U, I did them mostly from a bent arm in 13:30.
I figured it was time to try this from full gymnast-type lockout, hanging down and turning out the palms (away from ears).
This was so much harder I could not believe it. The first 20 or so took maybe a 1/2 hour, then the next 7 another 20 minutes. Then I spent almost another 1/2 hour trying to get ONE more. Nope. Gave up with 27 @ 1:25.
Workout B: 39:35 Rx'd.
Brutal. My mid-back and lats are crying from all those swings.
Workout B
15 rounds 51:35
My arms just gave up on me. I blame last night's bench presses :-p I am better at them than i was, and I am sure i will continue to improve, but right now pushups are still the bane of my existence. Bleah.
Time: 40:55 RX (Workout B)
Yep, brutal it certainly was! I was hardly able to lift my daughter (9lb) yesterday and it took some effort to get out of bed this morning..
workout A: 28:45 rx
workout B: 22:59 rx
