CrossFit: Forging Elite Fitness: Comment on Wednesday 070214
Yet another installment from the Kool-Aid drinking fool that Crossfit has turned me into.
On April 20th, 2006, we did the workout listed in the comments. It basically boils down to 64 handstand pushups and 64 L pull-ups in various combinations, done as fast as possible.
It took me 28 minutes, 30 seconds.
Today, I did the same workout in 14 minutes, 17 seconds. Half the time. This one of the single biggest improvements I've seen so far, but there are several other workouts where I've improved by 30 and 40 percent in less time than the 10 months or so since I last did this workout. I'm pretty much expecting double-digit improvements in my time as a matter of course. This is what Crossfit teaches you to expect. I don't know of anything else where that holds true, and seems to continue to hold true for far longer than you'd think.
My HSPUs are getting better. Still not full range of motion, but I use a small medicine ball (6 lbs) and do my best to touch my forehead to it on every rep. That gets harder and harder by the end.
Kelly Moore posted 8 minutes or so. That means that I finished in less than 2KM's (if you can do a workout faster than half the speed of Kelly Moore, you're starting to get somewhere.)
