4 Handstand Push-ups
8 2-Pood Kettlebell swings

A new PR: I just did 21 full rounds of Cindy in 19:57. Holy crap.
I think that's part of what I love about CrossFit - I finished the 20 minute workout over an hour and a half ago, and I still feel like I'm about to puke.
The response I get from my body due to the extreme demands I am now placing on it is so profound; call it neuro-endocrinological, call it a favourable adaptation, call it whatever you want - unless I'm seeing stars at the end of the WOD, I don't feel like I've done enough.
I am calling it bad-ass and I want more of it
Who's with me?

Cindy (AMRAP in 20 minutes: 5-10-15 reps pullups, pushups squats) or Mary (AMRAP in 20 minutes: 5-10-15 reps of handstand pushups, 1-legged alternating pistols, pullups)

The suck is on its way folks...

Rest Day

I have a little hitch in my git-along from the walking lunges from Friday. Does anyone else's quads hurt?
On the plus side, I met some great people on Thursday: Dael, who is our fearless leader in the North; Omry, who holds the fort in Rehovot and Gan Yavne and is the most active among us; and Zvi, who after the Cert in Milan in November will be certified and certifiable. Things are looking up!

Hang power clean 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps

No barbell yet, so I made do with the folllowing:
CFWU
100 of each exercise as follows - 5 rounds X 20 each:
5 kg sledgehammer swings (both sides)on tractor tire
4 kg lb medicine ball throws against wall - various throws mimicking different punches (hook, jab)
kettlebell (15 kg) clean and press (only did 15 of these and only on left side, because I can feel my right side is markedly stronger, and that is something I need to address...)
