Yesterday’s workout didn’t require any kettlebells, boxes, olympic lifting, or tractor tires, so I was able to follow it to the letter. We were asked to do 7 1-rep max weighted pull-ups. The AFC doesn’t have dip belts, so I had to hold a barbell between my feet to add weight to my pullups. I warmed up with about five minutes of running, then did the WOD. I guess this was a PR since I’ve never done this workout before. My reps were 10#, 15#, 15#, 20#, 25#, 25#, 25#. Afterward, I did 3000m rowing in 14:07 and some elevated push-ups. I felt like I had a successful day.

I tried to do crossfit again yesterday.

“Elizabeth”

21-15-9 reps of:
Clean 135 pounds
Ring dips

This seemed a lot harder than my last one. First, I don’t know the Olympic lifts, so doing 21 cleans was pretty daunting. Someone at the gym who did undergraduate weightlifting gave me some good tips after he noticed my horrible form. After doing the first 21 cleans poorly, I stopped. Later I realized that I should have substituted 2X squats instead. The other workout in Elizabeth is ring dips. I don’t have access to rings so I did regular dips instead. Since ring dips are so much harder than regular dips, I should have done twice as many, but I was already doing 10lb. (the last 9 reps @ 8lbs) assisted dips and getting tired. I’ll work my way up to it. I added some rowing to my workout too - 1000m @ 3.5 resistance in 4:54.1
