Cindy! Alright, Alright

Thursday, February 23 @ CrossFit Nordic

I was late and hurried due to takin' the car and not finding parking -- stupid mistake on my part..
so we headed straight into warmup and Cindy!

The objective was to get a healthy score..20 would be great and minimum would be 14!

Cindy:

AMRAP 20 min
5 Pullups
10 Pushups
15 Squats

I did 15 rounds +5 pull-ups & 6 pushups-- Alright, alright indeed a good score for me to build on!  Still time to be maximized in-between sets but a result to be happy about!

Back at the gym @ having a blast! NEW PBs'

Wow, been too long since I posted and believe me I'm not proud of that at all (objective is to get instant write-ups).  I've had some great workout sets that I haven't documented and need to do -- and a bit of a break that I just finished.

Back at CrossFit Nordic for an 1 h of well deserved kick-ass training. The great Trainer David Englund set up a great program today as always!

Agility and warm-up with squats etc (frot squats with bar)

1 a 
Pullups --Originally 3 rounds of 30.
I did: 20, 21 & 15.


21 is new personal best & I could have gone for more but was a bit laid-back to maximize. No good reason but Will go for the full 25 next time. The kipping went great especially on the 2nd set.


1 b
Mixed Pull-ups with Front Squats
5x70
5x75
5x80  -- New personal best!! Felt great

2
Finshed with -originally
5x 5 Thrusters (40kg) 10 box jumps

After three rounds, my jumping got slow so I was "penalized" to do 30 Thursters.
Got them by doing 3,3,3 etc

All in all I got the pump going and did some great thrusters..I need to be pushed to get the cardio/intensity going and knock back the comfort factor.

I was overall very happy with my strength and got some great energy back to build on.

I've got a excellent training program and will hit 2 session before Thursday which is the main training day (Scheduled @ CrossFit Nordic)
