Lift:
Back squat
20 Rep Squat
Add 5 lbs from last Monday and try to complete all 20 reps at that same weight.
Workout:
“Chelsea”
Every Minute on the minute Complete
5 Pull ups
10 Push ups
15 Air Squat
This is not A 30 Minute AMRAP, it is an EMOM
There are several ways of scaling this workout, You can either try to complete it Every Minute and if you fall behind you can turn it into an AMRAP.
Or, if you are sure that you aren’t going to be able to complete it Every minute you can start by decreasing the amount of reps and try to complete that every minute.
For Example you can try 3 Pull ups, 7 Push Ups and 10 Air Squat
Either way whatever you choose, try and make sure you do full range of motion.
I know it’s not easy to keep it up when you’re exhausted but it really makes no sense to do half range of motion.

Wednesday’s we usually do a longer workout than we normally do the other days during the week.
Why?
Although performing Short intense workouts or Anaerobic workouts helps us increase our Aerobic Capacity, you don’t necessarily get the same result from performing Aerobic workouts. I do feel it’s necessary to do the longer ones every so often.
The Benefit from the shorter higher intense workouts is so much higher than that of it’s counterpart the Aerobic wods.
Anyway your approach to the longer workouts should be different than your approach to the shorter ones.
With the Short intense workouts you can look to attack them right away pushing yourself to do them as quickly as possible.
The faster you complete these workouts the more intense they will be. The more intense the workouts the better results you’re going to get.
With the longer ones however you need to have a different approach to them. The longer workouts like the Hero wods are more of a mental challenge. Grinding through them little by little is the way to go.
Trying to move to quick in the beginning will cause you to run out of gas with a whole workout left.
So, know your approach before you start to optimize your results.

Here’s one of many articles describing the benefits of weight lifting for women.
Despite what most women think about getting big and bulky if I lift weights it is super important for you to do so!
https://blog.paleohacks.com/benefits-of-weight-lifting-for-women/
Not lifting weights and just becoming a Cardio Freak will do nothing but give you a skinny skeleton look with hanging skin. So if you want to look like a hanger in your closet with loose clothes hanging from it, keep sitting on the bike or Elliptical machine and you’ll have it.
Cardio machines, spin classes, and step classes will not give you the athletic look all women are looking for. If after reading that you’re saying “I don’t want that athletic look I want to just want that real skinny and emaciated look you can always start smoking crack, that will do it too.
I’ve said it before, you are not going to get bulky. If you are all going to get bulky that would mean that every guy should look like Hercules and unfortunately that’s just not true.
If you are still unsure about trying out Crossfit give it a go and you’ll see it is nothing like everyone says it is.

This was so unbelievable that I had to share it with you all.
Yes, it’s true and I didn’t make it up. I couldn’t believe it myself when I saw it then when I realized it was real, first I almost puked and then I screamed up to the heavens “WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Without any further anticipation let me show you what I’m talking about:
Someone, whom I have to give some credit to for actually trying to do the right thing, used the toilet wand to clean the toilet bowl.
Now, you’re thinking wow, someone really took the initiative to try and keep the place clean, that’s great!
However, after this person used the sponge on the end of the wand they actually put it back into the dispenser instead of the garbage!
Yes, this person thought it would be better to put the sponge with crap on it back to where all the clean sponges sit nice and tidy instead of opening the garbage can, clicking the button and dropping the sponge in the garbage can.
This picture shows how the old, dirty, crap filled sponge contaminated all the clean ones by leaking all the dirty toilet water all over the rest of them.
I’m still having trouble understanding how this can actually happen.
I thought it be best to not show the actual inside of the dispenser due to the sickness it may instill upon all of you so I took the pic of the outside of the dispenser and let your imagination do all the work.
Again, I must give some credit for trying to clean the bathroom but I’m not sure, this fiasco may outweigh the positive.
