The whole body is aching after nearly a week of crossfit excercises as I went on a 6 day vacation to the island of Koh Lipe to get a tan, enjoy some rest and fuckin relax before hitting the gym again last tuesday. My arms and wings and lats and legs were aching from the two workouts yesterday and these deadlifts are an awesome to give allow me more aching in my glutes. It feels good to be back in the gym but I could actually see myself working out by the beaches in Koh Lipe doing KettleBell swings in the sun! Oh welll...

So here it is, my double unders are still worse than a bitch and I have NOT progressed much at all. It seems that I try to do complete a double under too fast and i need to get my rhythm and timing right to do more than 10 in succession. Damnit! 2 of the things that I lack, Timing and rhythm. Every time or rather every day I realize there are so many things which I need to improve on in Crossfit like my technique for double unders, wall balls, leg strength, stamina, thrusters and etc. Emo sial, pick it up and go again.

A good workout that kicks off the workout week. While I wouldn't go as far as to say that it helluva difficult workout, i will be the first to admit that it was quite dissapointing for me personally at my lackluster display of strength in my left shoulder/arm. Bah. I still dislike Overhead medicine ball runs, there has got to be a way for me to finish 400m without stopping.

Felt good being able to run 6 + 1 round in the 20 minutes thanks to pacing my self and I guess those days of trying to mimic Jackie Chan are paying off with the rather consistent HSPU's. Feel a little bit stronger thanks to all the workouts for the past few months.

However when I attempted the second workout, I didn't realize that my form for the dead lift was wrong which probably means that I was targeting the wrong muscle areas and ultimately getting myself more prone to injury. Lesson learnt, try again this week.

I still am unable to do proper kipping pull-ups. Cipet betul. I shall blame it together with my inability to dance and robot like movements and stiff-ness which attributes to this! Bah. I'm still not getting enough sleep and I feel more tired after workouts. And i figured that I have a love-hate relationship with burpees. I love em cause they're a good sweat but I hate doing them because once you couple them with another workout, it leaves you lying. Need more cardio work.

Shoulders and legs were aching but managed to pull through. The 28kg seems easier to swing considering its the 2nd time I'm using it. Maybe i'll try a 32kg in a few months. Heh Heh. Unfortunately I wasn't able to do a power pack 2nd WOD as i arrived only at 9pm dude to work....

For the FIRST time ever during a workout i felt like puking my insides out while driving home. The throat was totally dry and felt like the first time i started drinking beer and puked. Didn't puke but felt horrible. Well on the flipside that showed two things. I am not fit enough and that it was a good workout. And that i still need to improve on the thrusters. Hell of a good full body movement and one which i realize that my leg strength is still below par. Bes bes workout nih..
I must try it again!

If you are working as a team, everyone stays together.

Round 2 : 28:36

My shoulders, forearm and biceps are still aching and DOM'ing from Tuesday's pull-ups hence the lighter weight on the first WOD and killing off my jerks and the hostages (RPG-style workout only la). I finished the first round of the FMP in the Rx’ed time but the jerks were killing my shoulders which were sore from the pull ups and the first WOD. In total I killed off 43 hostages out of 20 (civilians too). To the non-existent hostages; ‘dudesss… I’m sorry. I’ll try to keep one alive the next time.’ LOL!
