So, maybe I jumped the gun a bit. I posted a blog earlier in the week about CrossFit with some excerpts from an article in Men's Health magazine. In my blog I stated that I do not CrossFit nor will I ever be a CrossFitter. I've tried just about every form of exercise, I've done my research and tried various video workouts like P90X, Insanity, etc. So why would I not give the world's leading training system a go?
Here's the plan: Next week I will abandon my usual training routine, throw caution to the wind and do only CrossFit WOD's [workout of the day]. After my usual warm up and some practice lifts I will jump head first into 4 WOD's that I plucked off the CrossFit website.
Day 1
21-15 and 9 rep rounds of:
Left-arm Kettlebell snatch, 1.5 pood [16kg]
Right-arm Kettlebell snatch, 1.5 pood [16kg]
Pull-ups
Left-arm Kettlebell snatch, 1.5 pood [16kg]
Right-arm Kettlebell snatch, 1.5 pood [16kg]
Pull-ups
Record and post your time.
Day 2
Complete as many rounds in 20 minutes as you can of:
5 Pull-ups
10 Push-ups
15 Squats

Box jump 20" box [reps]
