When The Going Gets Tough..

Push..

Oh, my aching bones and muscles and tendons and everything in between!! After an intense workout yesterday, my body is letting me know that it’s not used to this kind of hard work!

I started off with a warm-up of Tabata Squats (wrecked my quads!), then progressed to work on the technical components of the Kipping Pull-Up (wrecked my hands!), and then Clean-and-Jerks.

My actual workout took place after all of this (after a liberal application of tape on the shredded hands), and consisted of:

3 Rounds:

21 Clean-and-Jerks (Full C&J, switching to hang-squat-cleans in the 2nd round)

400m Run

My whole body hurts today, but even as I complain about it, I know it is a good thing.. I’m sore from working hard, and from pushing my body past what I had previously thought its limits were!

If my Coach hadn’t given me such an insane workout to complete, there’s no way I would have come up with  that workout on my own! I would have set my limits much lower than what Coach did.

So.. getting results means doing CrossFit (and pushing my limits) on a regular basis.. with that in mind, it’s time for another WOD, this one is again courtesy of Eva T:

4 rounds:

Run 400m

20 Burpees
