You think Crossfit is hard???

Friday, May 2;

Here it is folks.. it's a blog entry that's been months in the making! The other day Georgia mentioned that my arms looked pretty symmetrical. Now, I know from looking in the mirror that my arms are not symmetrical. I've been thinking about measuring the difference, so today (because I have the day off from work) I figured I'd get out the tape measure.

If you're not a regular reader of the blog.. I haven't really been able to work out my left arm due to injury. I've been doing some work lately, so I wanted to measure the arms before the left arm catches up to the right.

If you thinking Crossfit workouts are hard, you should try measuring your own arms. It's harder than you'd think. I actually had to ask my roommate to help me out.

Here goes the tally...
Right arm bicep: 12 1/16 inches
Right arm forarm: 9 13/16 inches

Left arm bicep: 11 11/16 inches
Left arm forarm: 9 10/16 inches

*measurements were taken from the largest part of each section of the arm. Pictures may come shortly.

Warmup:
overhead strict press: 45lb x3
This was supposed to be a max test. This isn't really my max, but I wanted to see how heavy I can go without having pain. I could have gone heavier, but I could feel my shoulder getting tired. Better to be smart I guess.

Workout:
5 Rounds of..
9 burpees
15 R arm KB swings
21 jumping pullups
Total time: 9:01

I haven't done burpees in ages. The first round I did true, blue burpees very slowly. The following rounds were done on my knees.
