You know that feeling when you look up at the WOD board and think, "Yeah, that doesn't look too bad today?"
Well whenever you think that you are wrong. You're always wrong.
This is not a theory or a hypothesis or an educated guess. This is just the truth. It's a law of inverse Crossfit reaction to RFM workouts.
Every single time, and I mean every single time, that I have thought I was going to have an easy workout I have been completely off-base.
It's not that I think it'll be easy, I know it's going to be hard. But it's the degree of hardness which I'm always wrong about.
Take the other day when we did the run, box jumps and push ups. I'd rate that a 7 on the scale but when I looked at the board I was thinking more like an 8.
Today I saw the board and thought, 7, because it was a dumbell complex of power cleans, push presses and lunges.
Eff that, it was a 9. Those lunges were nuts. I did the first round (we had to do 5) and was like WTF?
See, you had to hold the dumbells over your head while you were lunging. Not only did that make your shoulders tired but you have to stabilize your core muscles too.
What that means is you're doing a shitload of work for just to do five lunges on each leg.
The icing on the cake was that we got to rest five minutes then do 30 burpees.
In comparison the burpees were almost relaxing compared to the lunges. I think I relaxed too much though. While I was trying to go slow and steady my gym buddies were ripping it. Bruce and Ikaika and Derek all finished around the 1 minute mark while I almost needed 2 minutes.
Yeah . . . .oh well.
On another note, been checking out these Puma Fast Cats Crossfit shoes. They look sweet AND I can wear 'em with jeans.
Hey if I'm going to spend $80 I'm wearing those suckers more than just at the gym. Check 'em out:
