Squats!

Second day of CrossFit training in the books!

We focused on squats, some box jumps and knee-to-elbow pull ups.  There were 4 different squats we were taught. Who knew there were 4?  Since the weather is finally bearable and not ungodly humid anymore, we got to do the squats outside with the pipes for practice.  Then we went inside and used the heavier barbells.  I didn't put any weight on just yet so I just squated the bar, which is still 30lbs.  I like squats so I did pretty well at this, but still learned better and proper form.

After this we were taught pistols, which of course are one-legged squats.  Frank was impressed that I was able to do this!  My partner Aaron was also decent at them.  Frank said it was the first on-ramp group that was good at them.  He got pictures so check their website soon!  We also practiced jumps with the wooden boxes.

After this we practiced elbow-to-knee pullups and toe-to-bar pull ups, using the kipping style.

The last 5 minutes we did our workout, which was 8 front squats, 8 boxes jumps, 4 pistols, 8 knee-to-toe pull-ups, AMRAP (as many reps as possible).

A 5 minute workout and I was beat!

Can't wait til Friday...we're going to practice dead lifts!.
