I have never been more sore in all my life. And that is saying something because I've done plenty of rigorous athletic activity off the bench will little or no training. But I'm am absolutely fried and that is after maintaining a respectable run/bike regimen.
This guy Mike, who I thought was my friend, had me come over do a CrossFit workout on Tuesday. Like I said, I thought we were friends but he proceeded to take me through 17 minutes of hell (he busted it out in 13). It consisted of 5 sets of 21 thrusters (a squat and shoulder lift combined) and 21 double under jump roping. The name of the game in CrossFit is speed. Everyone does the same workout. I couldn't believe the workout I got in 17 minutes but I believe it now! I'm not a puker but I was seriously feeling the urges. I thought the mascot was over the top but 'Pukie' (pictured above) is the perfect symbol of this workout ideology.
I'm 48 hours removed and I'm limping around the house scrambling for the Icy Hot and begging my wife for a massage. He made me a believer. CrossFit is the best bang for your workout I've ever come across.

Sam,
ReplyDeleteI actually came to this site the night of the workout to see if you had posted anything about it and when I didn't see anything, I just figured you hadn't gotten a great workout. At least we didn't do it the day before you going to move.
Mike
