  3. Picture Question: It wasn’t so much as learning something new, but a reiteration how various movements can build overall strength. We rarely do Bench Press but every time I’m able to lift more, compared to the “other gym” Bench Press was done almost every second day with little to no improvement.

    1. I love this post Trent. What you are saying is true. Although we don’t “bench” every other day, we are gaining strength while doing other weighted and unweighted (body weight) movements…..movements that are functional and come in handy in real life. Its a really nice, unexpected bonus, isn’t it? 🙂

  4. No strength foam rolling. Hamstrings are a hurtin.

    1. Congratualtions on wnning the mental battles – this is HUGE!! Of all the things Crossfit has given me, mental toughness to win those battles in my head is my favorite “functional movement”. I often find myself editing “can’t” out of my vocabulary OUTSIDE the gym – and that’s life changing.

    Kevin filmed my push ups. My push ups looked like hell lol. For the first time in my life, I have been told my knees are loose. Try not to read into this!
    Thanks Kevin for the tips.

    1. “For the first time in my life, I have been told my knees are loose”…..that made me laugh out loud!!

  22. No strength today

    WOD:
    Cleans – 95#
    HSPU – RX – I am delighted that I finished all of them!

    Very disappointed about the deterioration in my form on my cleans as of late. Going to fix it asap. Thanks Kevin for your help.

      1. Thank you, I can’t believe I got them all in! I said I’d be happy to get through half of them!

    I wasn’t sure I’d get the last rep. Thanks Kevin for the tips. As always I need reminders.

    WOD with 45# & pike push ups from the knees.
    The second last round of push ups I almost landed on my head. Kind of embarrassing. I need to keep my head closer to the box too. I noticed when I was getting tired I was getting farther from the box. So no longer in pike position.

  27. Wow! Great job everyone. I actually can’t believe I’m sore from Monday’s sprints. I’ve never become sore from sprints before….looking forward to tomorrow!
