After work I had Crossfit, which was typical Crossfit, which is to say it was amazing. We did a lot of work on pull-ups and deadlifts and I tore the hell out of my hands. It's totally Crossfit cliche to post it to facebook, but I won't be that gauche. I'll just leave it here. :P
I got no pity from the trainer, either. "Aw, they're not even bleeding." Thanks, guy.
Grady and I both hit a big milestone today, it was the first time either of us did the workout "rx'ed" or as prescribed. We used the full weight for the deadlifts (135# for me and 285# for him) and didn't scale anything down. So it took forever to complete it, and I had to wrap my hand in duct tape, and I am going to be so sore, but it was so fun.
ouch! and duck tape? I'm guessing gloves aren't very crossfit?
ReplyDeleteI have gloves and I could wear them, but yeah, nobody really does. I don't think you can grip as well with them on. What is very Crossfit is duct tape. I was kind of spacing out when I was taping my hand at the front desk (I was still in the middle of my workout and pretty out of it) and I snapped out of it when I realized two very fit, shirtless guys were laughing and nodding approvingly at what I was doing.
ReplyDeletehahaha that's great! You're so hardcore you're using ducktape instead of gloves!
