Wednesday, July 6 'Rope climb/HSPU/pistols'

One of my favorite aspects of CrossFit is that regardless of athletic prowess, there are some sessions that throw us into the novice category. That's also what makes many people quit CrossFit. People inherently train how they want to train, often duplicating the same stuff when left on their own. CrossFit requires many things of us, but the most important are a no quit attitude, and a willingness to learn new and often difficult skills.
This session threw EVERYBODY at CFSF into the novice category...

Five rounds:
15 foot L-rope climb
5 handstand push-ups
10 alternating overhead pistols

Shane- *45  12:48
Brent- *45  12:50
Todd- 11:15
Lynde- *  13:46
Eric-  8:43
Shar- *  11:40
Teresa- 10:25
Beth-  10:55
Casey-  11:38
T-  11:18
*overhead squat

Nobody got this session as prescribed. We scaled the pistols by using the rack, or the bench- and nobody is able to perform an overhead pistol yet. We still got pounded... Plus we were challenged from a motor skills standpoint as well as physical, which will make us better athletes in the long run.

Thanks for another great day of training and conditioning at CFSF.

Hit the mobility blog and find a fix for anything bothering you, except a co-worker, or nasty neighbor. It would be nice if we could do that though, huh? Remember also that ice is our friend. Liberal amounts after the wod, as well as a good spray of YBF always helps uncomfortable bits and pieces. Take the time. It's worth it.

Ready to lead, ready to follow. Ready for anything.

When you are about to give up, think for a moment about
Kyle Maynard and reconsider. Be thankful you have the opportunity to
 train hard and do so.
