Crossfit: Day 1

Crossfit Day 1
Weight 247

I'm going attempt to keep this going for a bit.  They won't be long but maybe it'll keep me accountable.

I've decided to give crossfit a chance.  I've been wanting to try it for a while and the price tag has driven me away.  It's still more than I want to come out of pocket, but I'll make changes somewhere else to offset, I can't continue to do nothing.  My biggest concerns are my left shoulder and my lower back which are recurring points of injury for me.  They did a lot of focus on form and a solid warmup today, so maybe I can strengthen these areas instead of damaging them further.

Today was cleans and presses and 'hand stand' push ups.  For me it was just overhead press with the bar and pushups.

12/9/6/3
Overhead Press (bar only)
Pushups


I started out like a hurricane thinking this would be easy to do but I found out that I'm weaker than even I anticipated.  Even a set of 12 pushups had me struggling to maintain good form.  Yikes.

Finished it.  Wobbly legs and exhausted arms, but I finished it.
Energy is a little low today.  Probably need to add some coffee tomorrow.
Everyone has to start somewhere.
