Time to be Unfat: Don't be afraid to fail →
timetobeunfat:
“One of the best parts of CrossFit is that we accept failure. For me, there is no better feeling then watching somebody struggle with muscle ups, or double-unders, or a pullup.
Why? Because I know how happy they’re going to be when they finally get one. I respect the person who comes into…

squat it out
Mobility
10 min squat test
Strength - on the minute, for 10 minutes
3 OH Squats - AHAP
first of all. that 10 minute squat test is not as easy as the MobilityWOD video makes it look. 2 minutes in and my shins were on fire! key is to not look at the clock, no matter how much you want to, haha. i’m very weak on anything that requires a snatch grip, so these squats were pretty hard....

benchmark hero: "McGhee"
30 min AMRAP
5 deadlifts (275/225)
13 pushups
9 box jumps (24”/20”)
nice way to start my day off. used 135 lbs for the deadlift - for some reason it felt really heavy today, even though i’ve done 20 reps of 150 before. finished 9 rounds and 5 deadlifts… pushups were killing me at the end. box jumps ended up being my break, haha

embrace them thighs
via Again Faster
I am a woman. I CrossFit daily. My inner thighs touch. And I love CrossFit because of it.
CrossFit has completely altered my perception of women. It has proven to me that I will never again envy an incredibly frail woman for her lack of figure. It has made me care less about the pant size I wear and more about my 1 rep max snatch. And it has shown me that a woman who CrossFits...

Weighted dips: 10 x 1 rep for total weight (scale is regular dips to failure, AMRAP)
Hill sprints: on treadmill, elevation 15, 10 rounds of 30 sec sprints. score is the last treadmill speed you use

Snatch Skill Work
Power snatch 1 RM
55-60-65-70 (new PR!)
SO close to getting 75lbs! i got the hip drive down but i couldn’t lock out my arms fast enough.. how frustrating. 70 lbs is more than i thought i could do though, so i’m pleased with that at least :)
