The only easy day was yesterday

We are on the 5 on 2 off schedule now. Like those at Gym Jones we have chosen to include in our 5 day training schedule a randomized easy day and a randomized ME Black Box lifting day. The other 3 days will focus on metcon and some CFHQ WOD's. We work on whatever we feel we are lacking.

We trained James when he got off of work in a half Kelly. That would be:

30 Wall Balls, 35#
30 Box Jumps, 19'
400 meter run X 3

It's his 4th Crossfit work out. His time was 28:19. Not bad, sir.

Today was Brandon's day to write the work out. It was also our randomized easy day. He chose this “easy” work out:

100 45# Thrusters
100 45# Sumo Dead Lifts
100 45# Squat Cleans
100 Windshield Wipers holding the 45# bar in extended bench press position

Each lift was done in a team fashion of 30 seconds work to 30 seconds rest. Brandon would get max reps in 30 seconds then hand the bar to me in which I would do the same as he rested for 30 seconds.

First to 100 wins.

Let me tell you something. The ones that look easy on that tiny dry erase board are the ones that are going to kill you when you're out there. By time we got to the cleans we were so broken that we were doing ten a round.

I cursed Brandon and his easy day. The only easy thing was collapsing into an easy puddle of euphoria. Try it. Tell me how YOU did.

Till then,

We ain't playing with ya!
