NavySeals.com WOD



This just had to be revisited!

CFWU x 1

50 - 35 - 20

Deadlift (135lbs)
Knees to elbows
Box Jumps

14:11

Used the vibram fivefingers for this one. They are so awesome. I love them. My right foot felt like it was falling out at the heal on the box jumps. I tightened them up and good to go.

I was lazy the first round and took too many breaks. Smartened up for 2nd and 3rd round.

Overall happy with WOD.

PS.

This is a quote from Mark Rippetoe. The leading expert on the slow lifts within the crossfit community and most lifting circles.

"The vast majority of my members learned a while back that the best way to keep their shoulders healthy was to press and bench press in equal doses... Here, benching is just another exercise, not the absolute measure of personal worth it is in some circles, and the noise level is commensurate with this more balanced, peaceful, logical worldview."

This is why my chest and triceps are so sore today. Not enough Balance. The bench press is an effective lift when done in moderation and not as an absolute measure of strength.
