CrossFit East Bay WOD @ Ironworks 081119: Skill Day One

18.5 with 1.25 Pood

Brain exploded.

14 rd + 10 2pd

16rds RX, really enjoyed the short Breugner(sp?) warm-up before the pull-up challenge. Getting loose for the pull-up challenge, which tends to be early in the WO, has been difficult for me. The Breugner warm-up works better for me when I am trying to get loose for CTB kipping pull-ups than Rock and Rolls, Sun Salutations, or dare I say it even Burpees. Request more short Breugner warm-ups at least for the duration of the Pull-up Challenge.

19 rd + 10 1pood
I felt pain when Max said ignore the pain :)

I was planning on doing Burgener W-U all this week, so you have your wish. It is probably the best warm-up especially if we do 10-20 reps instead of just three.

17+5 1.5 pood

This workout could best be described, I think, thusly:

"easy...easy...easy...HARD."

11+9 1P
(did 13 with 12kg)

I was stuck in SF this evening and couldn't make the CFEB class. As a substitute, i did the xfit endurance work out which was 800m run 2min break 800m run 2min break 1000m run 2min break 1000m run -- times were 2:48, 2:55, 4:12, 4:20 -- i really fell apart after the second 800

1.5 pood, 18 rnds + 15 reps. Daniel is right, these ladders stay easy for a while and then ramp up to miserable very quickly.

22 full rounds; IRX ;-)

FYI, our internet buddy Melissa Byers was inspired to do this workout and got frickin' TWENTY-SEVEN ROUNDS RX'D.

Read 'em and weep, folks.

Wait, I misread.

Make that twenty-NINE.

Ms. Byers did 29 rounds + 23 Russian style swings. That is the just about 1/2 the work of doing them CrossFit style, or about 21 rounds worth of work. Excellent.
