17 Minutes of Hell
Needless to say, this CrossFit stuff kicks my ass and leaves me smoked. Luckily, I have a workout partner (until Tuesday and she re-deploys) who pushes me. My ability to increase the number of reps in the below workout has increased significantly. After a 10 minute slow run, I did the following workout:
5 mins continous max reps of:
wall ball shots - 20 lb ball
sumo dead lift high pull - 60 lb
push press 60 lb
box jumps - 24in height
Sprints on basebetball court
1 min rest - REPEAT ABOVE
1 min rest- REPEAT ABOVE
I was smooooked!! Each day and week after these CF workouts I feel my ability to functionally move increasing significantly. However, the byproduct of this workout is there is definitely tightening and toning in my legs going on AND my shoulders are for sure firming up as well.
Since I’m eating approx 2000 calories a day - trying for fat loss- AND doing CrossFit which si so dman intense, it makes me wonder how I’ll be feeling over the course of the next few months. At the end of a day I’m literally exhausted, but it feels GREAT!

I’m right there with you brother. These WOD will smoke a person quick. I wouldn’t be able to stay with it very long on 2,000 calories a day though. I’ve had a hard time finding the right number of calories and proportions of fat, carbs and protein since starting this back up again a short time ago. Good luck to you and stay safe.
