Pushing it.

bad time for some crunches.


WOD 

Work the Snatch...5 sets of 3

then

5 rounds for time of

15 Overhead Squats
30 Sit-Ups


When we're pushing our limits, sometimes we crash. This is a result of going after a bigger and greater goal. If we think we will make the gains we do without the occasional setback, we may be surprised when the CrossFit  gods have other plans. As CrossFitters, these setbacks keep us humble and remind us to be grateful for our capacity for healing.

In the past year, I've had a back weirdness spasm that got pissed when I did pull-ups. I also have an old leg injury that sends tingles up my left leg when I'm sprinting really hard. One of CrossFit Thrive's first, Charlie, is anxious to get back from a back tweek himself.

What kind of setbacks have you had?

Determination

Fight Gone Bad IV is happening this Saturday at 9am at Hermosa Boxing Works! We'll be putting out a bucket for donations for prostate cancer research! All are welcome!
WOD

AMRAP 15 minutes

5 Ring Push-Up
10 Wall Ball
15 Sit Ups

Post rounds completed HERE.



It takes determination to do what we CrossFitters do. It's not easy. And that's why many of us like it. We like facing that self doubt before, or sometimes in the middle, of a workout. It's fun to face it and beat it on a regular basis. I'm looking forward to this weekend's Fight Gone Bad, where we will see how people face their own limitations.
