CrossFit Day 84
Today’s workout was “Cindy”, which I did two months ago. Last time, I finished 8 rounds, but the pullups were assisted pullups. This time, I wanted to do real pullups. Setting a goal for myself of five rounds, I headed out to the park in the freezing cold.
As many rounds in 20 minutes as possible of:
- 5 pullups
- 10 pushups
- 15 squats
After watching a couple of videos on the site where Adrian from CrossFit SF talks about how to do the kipping pullup, I had good ideas. I got out there, did a warmup practice round of five, and set the timer to go.
I’m still a little tender in my chest from all of the weighted pushups from Friday evening. The pushups were the most difficult because of that lingering soreness in my right pectoral muscle, but I managed to thump out seven sets. Realizing I was on the verge of equalling New Year’s Eve’s magnificent pullup total, I shoved through the extra minute I had left to complete my 40 pullups in one workout. I’m getting there.
So, the final tally: 7 rounds (35 pullups, 70 pushups, 105 squats) + 5 pullups. That, my friends, is a personal best.
My results: 20:13, 6:01 zone (hard); HR: 169 avg, 186 max; 273 cal
