Trying some more new exercises in my Crossfit workouts. Today, down at 2260 was 21-15-9 Push Press, Pull Ups and Push Ups.

We decided to scale the workout for me due to the heavy nature of the exercises.
10x3 Completed in: 8:34
push press (25lbs)
pull up (belt assist)
push ups

Also did a Tabatia Row workout- 20 seconds on, 10 second rest for 4 minutes. I got all the way down to an average row of 2:10 to 2:21!! My average is normally 2:26- 2:36, pretty impressive.

Open gym at Crossfit 2260 today. I did my first set of knees to elbows and my first set of "real" pull ups. There was a band attached to the bar that I stepped on, that allowed me to do pull ups that gave me the feeling of a real pull up. It was INTENSE... see how I feel tomorrow!

For time:
4 Rounds of
10 pull ups (with band assistance)
10 lunges (as walking lunges)
10 knees to elbows (got them up to about waist level)

I completed it in 9:17, with only 3 sets of pull ups- I was recommended to stop them at that point. See what happens next!

2 min
tibata squats (20 seconds on, 10 seconds hold in squat position) i could not complete this bc my hip flexors were crunching and grinding to the point i was getting nauseated... i can totally do squats and have a great one, but i think those walking lunges killed me for it- bummer!
