I have been busy running in some Solo II action (autocrossing) for the past two days so my time with crossfit has been low. However I can say with full authority that two days of spirited driving are enough to really work your shoulders and hands.

Today’s WoD is:
“Diane”

21-15-9 reps of:
225 pound Deadlift
Handstand push-ups

I LOL’d when I saw what it was. There is *NO WAY* I can do handstand pushups or 225 lbs of deadlift. So I did the following:

21-15-9 reps of:
50 pound Deadlift (pretty easy actually, but it is my first time doing a deadlift so I focused on form)

50 pound shoulder press (OMG difficult. Did 21/9-fail/9. Tried to focus on form)

So far my girlfriend has noticed a difference in the tone of my muscles. I assume it is because I am actually using them instead of letting them sit around all day. Great stuff so far.

And this time I following the Crossfit program. It focuses on real world power, not strength or how much weight you can sling around.

Todays Workout of the Day(WoD) was:
Three rounds for time of:
50 Pull-ups
185 pound Deadlift, 21 reps

My personal goals however are this:
Three rounds (untimed) of:
5 pullups
20 Tabata squats / box jumps

Reality:
Round one:
2 full pullups, 3 jumped with slow negative
20 Tabata squats

Round two:
1 full pullup, 4 jumped with slow negative
20 18″ box jumps (there was a bench nearby)

Round three:
1 full pullup, 4 jumped with slow negative
20 Tabata squats

Results: My shoulders/arms are killing me and I can hardly walk. It’s Crossfit baby!
