KB Core Work

WOD For time
50 KB Swings
40 KB Snatches
30 KB Sumo Dead Lift High Pull's
20 KB  Single Arm Dead Lift
10 KB Front Squats

Food For Thought
"You May be disappointed if you fail, but you will be doomed if you never Try

HOME WOD
5-6-7-8-9-10 STRICT PUSH UP's

Do 5 Strict PUSH UPs but at a 8 second Count EACH
This mean's Each Push Ups Should Take you 8 second to complete
So 5 Reps of Push Ups would take a total of 40 Seconds to Complete
Go as Far up the Ladder as you can While keeping true to this 8 Second Hold Principle
This will help you with developing Static Strength
It's HARD if you do this Right

HOME Conditioning
30 Double Burpee's For time
A double Burpee is a Burpee where at the bottom you perform an extra push up before getting up

Which adaptation of CrossFit makes people better?

When you Start CrossFit you start realizing that lot's of changes start occurring

Lots of Physical Changes right...
Like you get stronger
Fitter
Faster
Lighter
more agile
More Explosive
More obsessed about Food
etc...
etc,,,,,

All these changes fall short to the Greatest change of all
The Adaptation that occurs between your Ears

The realization
that Yes this is really hard
But that you can always keep going
and that the boundaries and the limits of what we think we are capable of are invisible constructs that are completely untrue and placed there by our own fears and self limiting Beliefs

So next time you encounter a weight that seems to heavy to handle or met con that seems too grueling to complete
Remember that there was a time when
An Air Squat Seemed Hard
or a 5 K Run seemed long
or a 50 or 30 kilo Clean and Jerk Seemed Heavy

Keeping Having faith in yourself and beautiful things will come :-)
Peace
