Posted on February 4, 2010 by crossfitatx

Pull, Push, Burp at CrossFit Central

Posted on December 10, 2009 by crossfitatx

Still rocking a green band on pull-ups, but making great progress with it…doing up to 20 kipping pull ups at a time on the green band now — despite still weighing in at 250 lbs. I don’t think I’ll be doing RXd pull ups during WoDs until I’m under 220 lbs, though. Continue reading →

CrossFit Garage Gym WoD: St. Paddy (Again)

Posted on August 23, 2009 by crossfitatx

I wanted to see if I’ve made any progress on this WoD, so 5 months later, I gave it another shot. My time today was a bit more than a minute faster, finishing in 17:50. Also, I did the more difficult resistance band pull-ups instead of jumping pull-ups…so all the better. Continue reading →

CrossFit Central WoD: Dead, Row, Muscle Up..Dead

Posted on August 13, 2009 by crossfitatx

Onto the last set of dead lifts, and I could see Daniel struggling, doing 3-4 reps at a time. I knocked out sets of 10-10-5, with just a 4-5 second rest between each mini-set. Continue reading →

CrossFit Central WoD: Pull ups and Med Ball Cleans

Posted on August 11, 2009 by crossfitatx

I mention the heat and the humidity because I was sweating like a whore in church during this WoD, which made the med ball cleans tough, as I was having a hard time holding onto the med ball after just a few reps. Continue reading →
