This morning I got off of work at 545 am. Instead of going home, I decided that I would work out because I have some things to do today and I may not be able to fit in my workout any other time. Today's workout is called The Chief. It is 3 reps of 135 lbs. power clean, 6 push ups, 9 squats. As many rounds as possible in 3 min. 5 rounds total with 1 min. rest in between rounds. Not bad, right? Guess again.
The first 3 min. not so bad. Then the squats started to take their tolls. You figure that a min. rest between rounds is plenty of time, a nice little break. As the rounds went on, that minute rest seemed like 10 seconds. I got to the last round and my legs were on fire. 3 minutes were up, and it was over. I did a total of 13 1/2 rounds. Not impressive by any means, but Crossfit is about the effort and intensity. I was smoked. Time to rest up and if I have time, do some extra cardio in the afternoon.
