Jerry's been out all week and Andrea and Chris have taken over the reins at CFOT. I didn't make it in on Monday, but the showing on Wednesday was nothing short of shameful! The workout was Pain Storm.. if you're not familiar these tend to be crazy long workouts that take forever to finish. They are also good at kicking your butt. Let me just explain a little more..
It starts out with a situp that is more like a deck squat.. then goes into a barbell clean and jerk. For simplicity sake I will call it a "deck squat, clean and jerk", then you had the choice to pick five exercises from a grab bag of various movements.. pushups, burpees, squats, knees to elbows, box jumps... You finished the round with a complex Turkish Getup.. that means a TGU with two lunges in the middle.
It's a ladder exercise that starts at 12 and in a perfect world goes to 1. My world was not perfect..
Workout:
12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
deck squat, clean and jerk
box jump (4 mats)
Pull up
pushup
KB Swing (45lb)
squat
TGU/lung complex
The complex movements too up so much time that it was impossible to get everything done in 35 minutes or so. I hate not finishing a workout, but I was only able to get through the first 4 rounds before I had to leave to go to work. Argh, work gets in the way sometimes doesn't it?!
On a positive note, I was able to finish my rough draft of my first term paper. At least I completed something!

Adrienne, I feel you. I hate not finishing things too, but sometimes you just have to bow to the constraints of time, and the fact that you are human. I too have a hard time with that, but just think about how much work you put in in those 35 minutes. Understand that in 35 minutes, you probably put out more work than some people do in 3 days worth of working out. You still look strong in the pics I saw and you're rockin' it out these days. Your comeback is amazing so keep working hard!!! :) I heart you!
owww, thanks Katie! Trying hard to be hard :)
You are hardcore! You seriously look great and you just need to remember that you are human... :)
I'm human only about half of the time!
You know, as anxious as I was to get back into crossfit, I'm very happy I started on Friday and not Wednesday. That looks like a painful workout (just like the name indicates....)
Hey Adam. Yeah, the 30/30/run workout didn't exactly look like it would be a cake walk. How does your shoulder feel after the pullups?
Adrienne,
I also only got to 9's - of course, that took me about 45minutes! Then I had to head to work. In my opinion, you were DEFINITELY rocking it!
