300

300 reps...that is all...for time...

25 pull ups (using the blue band still)
50 deadlifts (80 lb)
50 push ups (off knees, chest to floor)
50 box steps ups (20" box)
50 floor wipers (now this one was a new one...I'll describe it below)
50 kettle bell swings (35lbs)
25 pull ups (using the blue band)

Time: 26:43

OK - so floor wipers. You lay flat on the floor on your back. You hold a bar up over your head (well, over your chest actually). I just held a 30lb bar but most "crazy" Cross Fitters can hold 135lb+. Then, you slowly lift your legs and touch both of your feet to one hand. Slowly lower your legs all the way to the ground (flat) and then lift them up to the other hand. That is one rep. I got about 10 in and Justin knew there was just no way. It was the first time I had done these and quite honestly, before I did Cross Fit there is no way I could have even lifted my legs once! So then he let me count each touch as one...so I did half as many as I should have done I guess...but I'm sure I'll still feel them tomorrow!

Then I practiced my double unders a bit. I can get one at a time...just gotta figure out how to do them in a row. It took me what seemed like forever to get one and then once I got that one, my head "figured" it out and I was able to do them all the time. So I'm hoping it is just a matter of my head figuring out how to do them, working with my wrists to flip them quicker, etc...then I can stop doing singles so much and just do double unders! Of course that just makes it harder...but when a workout calls for double unders and I can only do singles, the "conversion" is multiplying the amount of reps by 4!! That adds up to a lot of singles quite often.

Good work out though...can't wait to try it again someday and see if I can beat my time!
