I realized something the other day, as I was out of breath and drooling on the gym floor, hoping that the burning in my legs would stop.
Crossfit workouts almost never generate the same kind of pain twice.
Did you ever notice that? There are all kinds of ways to suffer, take for example Wednesday's workout.
The workout was 50 thrusters, 40 double unders, 30 kettlebell swings, 20 lunges with weight and 10 burpees.
Obviously this was going to be hard. I prepared myself to suffer greatly.
But man, it was a different kind of pain. My legs felt like they were on fire and I felt like I was going to throw up.
This was different from Monday's workout, when my legs felt numb and refused to bend after the second front squat set.
As I sit here I'm trying to recall all the different ways that I've suffered at RFM. Let's see . . .
- there's crippling back pain
- burning leg pain
- numbing leg pain
- burning lungs
- nauseous stomach/puking
- trembling forearms
- wasted shoulder muscles
- unable to make a fist because of too many pull-ups, farmer carries, etc
Looking over my past blog entries I found more descriptions
- sore wrists from bending your hands backwards for front squats
- "Crossfit Amnesia", when you're so exhausted you forget to count your reps
- the special pain you get from using the rollers for the first time
Ah yes, memories.
By the way, I got stopped by another blog fan who is NOT an RFM member. In fact, he was never an RFM member! Unreal. Thanks Gino.
So Gino works at the County building in Public Works and says he's been reading my blog because he's interested in Crossfit and was doing some research. He says he drives by RFM every once in a while and sees us train but hasn't joined.
WHAT'S WRONG GINO??? We don't bite, I mean, Lori may hit you occasionally and Kehau may push your car and Patty may try to smack you in the face with a basketball but otherwise we're all pretty harmless. The guys anyway. The chicks are kinda intense so just stay out of their way.
Alright guys, see you at the Friday workout,
Rod
