Gravity is My Enemy

Starting over sucks. I almost got side tracked yet again this morning. All pumped up from my post last night, I was ready to get to training this morning to do some CrossFit. Problem was I thought training started at 6:30, when it really started at 6. Lucky for me, I think, I was able to go in anyway.

The warmup was worse than 95% of most people’s workouts. It wasn’t too bad, but anything at 300lbs sucks. It was 3 rounds of 10 of the following exercises:

• Situps on the Hyper Machine
• Hypers on the Hyper Machine
• Pullups
• Overhead Squats - with just a PVC Pipe
• Double Unders - Did 40 jumpropes instead of 10 double unders

Of course like anything else you blow through that as fast as you can. Pullups as you might imagine were very hard. I did them assisted with a rubber band. Watching a guy as big as me do pullups must also be pretty amusing. Too bad I don’t have some video.

On to the workout which was 6 minutes 5 seconds. The workout didn’t seem too bad as I was going through it, but the after effects were pretty rough. The workout consisted of 3 sets of the following:

21 (set 1)-15(set 2)-9(set 3) reps

• 65lb Overhead Squats
• Ring Dips

I had to do assisted ring dips.

After the workout I don’t know how I made it home. I was in such a rush to get there that I didn’t eat before the workout. Ask any CrossFitter and they will tell you this is a big mistake. At the same time you don’t want to eat too close to a workout, because that is a sure fire way to lose your food during or shortly there after. I also didn’t have too much water.I was out of it for about an hour and a half after the workout was over, but I’m very glad to have made it. The hardest part of Day 1 is done. Success so far!
