Squat Triples


9 Aug 12 (Thu)

Strength

    To Max
    3 Box Squats  (95lb, 115, 135, 155, 165, 185)
    ***  PR

Endurance

    1000m Row

  Good to see a PR. Was going to do 5 rounds, but kept going. Should've done another max before now, I suppose; last PR triple (175lb) was in mid-June. As always, probably could've gotten some more, but Gold's frowns on dropping bars... even for safety. The staff is certainly polite enough, but man, you can hardly call it a gym.

  I realise that I can barely call this crossfit at this point, but I'll get back to the normal, WOD-type workouts soon enough. Truth be told, though, any workout can be considered crossfit. It's more of the overall variety and intensity that creates a crossfit program over time. To put it another way, any workout could be done as a part of a crossfit program, but there are many, many crossfit workouts that would be done by no other discipline.

  Picture above is a Special Forces soldier in Afghanistan being a bad-ass. Also a Crossfitter. Elite units were some of the first adopters of Crossfit back in the day. Why? Because it god-damn works.   =D   Even as physical therapy.
