Yesterday’s workout was short and sweet. We started with 3 sets of 3 on our thrusters. The idea is to go heavy and really challenge yourself on the strength workout.

After our blast of strength work, we did a short metcon:

10-8-6-4-2
Pull-ups
High box jumps

This workout is VERY short, and should take you less than 4:00 to complete. The idea was to try and finish in 2:00 if you could. CrossFit is supposed to prepare us for ANYTHING guys. We need to train in all different realms; 25 minute sweat fests, 10 minute killers and even the occasional 2:00 blasts. For those of you that felt the metcon was “too easy” my guess is that you didn’t go fast enough, or your box jumps weren’t high enough. Don’t rest. Not even once. Never ever stop moving for 2:00 and just GET IT DONE. And trust me…if you finish this workout in around 2:00 you’re getting plenty of work! Maybe what you don’t realize is that your body is getting better at recovering from these metcons, so you only have the ILLUSION that you’re not getting enough work.

For those of you sad that you didn’t get a longer metcon yesterday, make sure to hit one of the evening classes at the Fort tonight. I am officially naming tonight’s workout “read it and weep”, but that’s all I’ll tell you.
