I’ve done the Cindy workout before; two times in January of 2008.  At that time I was regularly doing pull ups in the mornings and was going to the gym a couple times a week.  When I saw that Cindy was to be our workout today, I thought to myself that this would be a great benchmark to show how fit I am now compared to a year and a half ago.  Well, It seems that doing two hard workouts the two days before Cindy does not create a good environment for a PR.  Also, Jon had us do some kipping pullup practice before the workout, so my pullups were shot before I even started.  A year and a half ago, I did 6 RX rounds; today, I got 13 rounds (-2 squats) doing jumping pull ups and only the first two rounds with strict push ups.  I’ve got a lot of work to do.

I haven’t crossfitted in a couple of weeks, but decided to do yesterday’s workout.

“Cindy”
Complete as many rounds in 20 minutes as you can of:
5 Pull-ups
10 Push-ups
15 Squats

I’ve done Cindy before and did six rounds, so last night I decided to just do six rounds.  It took me 16 minutes so I probably should have done one more round, but I slacked.

Another new workout.

Complete as many rounds in 20 minutes as you can of:
5 Pull-ups
10 Push-ups
15 Squats

I made it through six rounds.  The pull-ups and push-ups killed me but I was able to keep up on the squats.  I was able to walk to the car without feeling like I would fall over after every step, so that’s a positive thing.
