Elm City CrossFit WoD for Monday, February 6th, 2012
 |
| Burpees. If you don't know them by now, you will never, ever know them... |
 |
| Pull-ups. Doesn't count if you chin doesn't go over the bar. |
 |
| Camille Leblanc-Bazinet demos a perfect air-squat. Hip crease below kneecaps, arms up to help keep the chest upright. Down up, down up, repeat. |
 |
| Knees to elbows. Kind of like sit-ups with massive grip and lat requirements. So, a much better sit-up. Curse the inventor... |
 |
| American-style kettlebell swings: Up overhead, w00t! |
WoD:
This was exactly as awful as I would have expected. Started sucking in the first 5 minutes, and did NOT let up at ANY point. I don't know how much detail I need to go into on this. 5 minutes of burpees is just awful. The only sort of high-light of the workout was the wardrobe malfunction I had in the middle of the pull-ups. To quote Coach Vin: "Funny, Dustin isn't usually the kind of guy to strip down in the middle of a workout!" Turns out that band-assist pull-ups are even worse when the band is catching on your copious chest hair. Maybe, one day, when I have a chiseled set of abs and pecs, THEN I'll be able to shave/wax/whatever my chest, strip down and not have the band catch on my all-natural sweater. Meh.
Total reps:
- 55 burpees
- 26 pull-ups
- 69 squats
- 16 k2e
- 14 kettlebell swings
