EMOM

Every minute on the minute 3 pushpress @65 This wasn't too bad. I initially thought I'd use 95 but I got childlike :)

AMRAP

AMRAP in 5 min 3 kb cleans @35 each 5 body rows 9 and 3 cleans My arms were toast.

Deadlifts

5 @ 135 3 @ 185 3 @ 205 3 @ 275 3 @ 275 Another "coulda done more" that I refused to listen to... 275 was pretty easy but I can tell I lifted some weight. In the spirit of childlike, I'm good with it.

They were a little bit heavy but form was on. I miss the days when I was new at this and shame didn't seem to get in the way. I was very successful in my fitness pursuits because I had a childlike newness to the whole thing. Now I am looking for that attitude again. It makes sense that we are ever growing and learning. It makes sense that I have never been the guy who got in great shape and let it go before. So the set up is there. I miss the days before facebook took over the blogosphere and the message boards.  I remember when this crossfit thing was a rebellion against the globo gym monster. And now it is what it fought to slay. I predicted this a while ago. It's like the punk movement. Everyone hated punk and i...
