kool aid I Train CrossFit Bro

[Stonefist]

I'm starting to fall into the "I can eat like an asshole because I train hard" mindset.

Hey, it's better than the "I can eat like an ass hole because I got up off the couch today" mindset.

Ps: Being in said mindset is at least 25% of the reason I started lifting in the first place.

PPS: Yeah, I'm umm. "stocky". I'm a dwarf, we're supposed to be.

o_0 I don't think I could even get close to doing the mile run in 7:00 and then add snatches on top of that?

Props.

Yeah I was skeptical of their 400m measurement so I Google mapped the distance and its like 352m, metric fail.

it means we'll see you on TV next year

[chairohkey]

Oh and afterwards I gorged myself on 1 cup greek yogurt w/ granola, 1/2 gal of chocolate milk, 6 hard boiled eggs, and a bit of the steak I prepped for lunch. I know, I know I said no dairy but this morning idgaf.

[chairohkey]

Definitely not. He was just telling me that they have a morning strength session he thought I might enjoy more.  

[Br0din]

then does that defeat the purpose of lifting with the Wife?   

[chairohkey]

They lift at same 5:00 am time just in a different part of the gym. Wife said its cool but I'm going to pass since I'm already hitting it heavyish on my off days.

WOD

 

For time:

50-40-30-20-10

box jumps, 20″

situps

 

Finished in 17:05

 

Definitely not a WOD conducive to us big guys. Probably could've done the bj's faster if I jumped down but didn't feel like blowing out my achilles. Situps suck when you have a gut getting in the way.

Just a little joke. I just honestly don't understand why they're done in the first place.

Bro I know its a joke. I still think its silly but when your doing 5 rounds of 15-20 pullups there really is no other way unless you're a sub 150 lb male.

I'm never quite sure on the internet. That's a fair point about the reps. I guess you have to follow along with the class even though you'd probably rather do it another way.
