Comments:
I decided to experiment this time around and dropped the weight a fair amount. The result was I being reduced to a sweat soaked, crumpled pile of flesh trying to write down the license plate of the dump truck that ran me over. It was one of those novelty plates and read Linda. The aftermath of this WOD was me sitting on the floor for a good 3 minutes rocking back and forth shaking like a heroin addict in withdrawals, then another 3 minutes of me laying down trying to get it together. When I got up, on the ground was my sweaty imprint with the words Crossfit.com "mess you up" written backwards from my t-shirt. I'm so badass. I wish I had a camera. Needless to say it was an amazing WOD, in which I gave an amazing effort and found out that less weight oddly enough equals more pain.
Geek math time comparing this time and weight versus my last time and weight:
((215lbs+120lbs+105lbs)*55reps)/19min = 1273.684lbs/min.
((235lbs+135lbs+117lbs)*55reps)/29min = 924.568lbs/min.
350lbs/min. more with less weight. Now that is rad and shows to me the benefits of decreasing the required weight to meet ones own fitness levels. Fuck I wish I started doing the math on WOD's months ago.
