Mike's Creative Workout Log Name Goes Here...

Mike Reams · 05-10-2009, 08:08 AM

Ok, I am new to the Crossfit scene after finally succumbing to the pressure to start these workouts from my friend Mr. Whipple. I have been working out for years using different approaches and agreed it was time for something new. Apparently he is trying to become not so “squeezeably soft” and I am along for the journey.

Welcome to CrossFit and the Workout Logs!!!!!

Congrats on your "creative" title, even after all my really fab suggestions!

I really think you'll like this approach. Lot's to do and a little friendly competition to do it with. (Ok, very little competition. . . you didn't mention just how badly you spanked me on our "Half Hansen".)

Hey Mike, welcome to the party!

Well, just finished another fun and exciting workout. It was:
Ten rounds for time of: (Modified original WOD)
2 Weighted Pull-ups, 20 pounds
3 Strict Pull-ups
5 Kipping Pull-up

Time: 16:45

Mr. Whipple bent me over his knee and spanked me like a little boy yet again.

PS. I figured out why they call them "kipping" pull-ups...it's because they feel like 1,000 lbs.

Gotta love Engineering Humor!!

See! That was fun, so I wasn't hallucinating. . . .

Tomorrow's gonna be your day. I can just see you push jerking about 20lb more than me.

Not that I'm gonna just let you win though. . .

Dude!! Where'd you go?!?!?

Hope I didn't scare you off!
