As I mentioned yesterday… today is a heavy day. “Isn’t CrossFit really just cardio with weights?” someone asked me on Sunday. How would you respond to that question? I will respond to you by talking about what happens in today’s WOD:
Front squats and weighted pull ups. After getting warmed up and ready for both movements- the clock starts and on the top of the minute you will do 2 heavy squats, then rest up for the remainder of 2 minutes and get 2 heavy weighted pull ups (or a modified movement with eccentric loaded or body weight pull ups). Rest the remainder of 2 minutes and back to the squats. 8 Rounds each for a total of 16 heavy squats and 16 heavy pull ups. It is that simple. But not that easy.
And then there is that whole other part about CrossFit… that you simply wouldn’t “get” unless you experienced it!
