How fit are you?

This article - "How Fit Are You?" was posted on the main site a few days ago.

http://library.crossfit.com/free/pdf/08_03_How_Fit_Are_You.pdf

I'm curious about a couple of things:

Farewell (Hopefully)

I will be leaving on Wednesday for my training and just wanted to write a short blog post as a final farewell.

Thanks for everyone for training with me and really showing me what the concept of a "team" really means.  Leaving BBCF is something that is very hard to do as I have gained so many friends and coached so many amazing athletes. 

Without all the BBCF warriors pushing me in every WOD (both in real time and looking at times on the blog) I would not have been nearly as motivated in my efforts and probably would not be realizing my full potential.

I will take a piece of everyone in my training and use it to help push me past the challenging and difficult times that I will inevitably encounter.  Just thinking about everyone rooting for me at home is incentive enough to not only do this for myself, but for everyone who has trained alongside my these past few years.

One final thank you goes out to Coach Ord, thanks for the amazing Warrior Athlete program and being an awesome, hold nothing back mentor!

Stay strong and stay in touch! XhaksawX@gmail.com

Week 20 Day 1 - Strength

Warmup: Stretch 10 Minutes

Workout: H rounds for time of...

Run 400 Meters
10 Clapping Push Ups
10 Tuck Jumps
10 (H) Kettlebell Swings

Every movement in this workout is explosive. Try to contract powerfully to get the most out of each movement. If you get tired to the point that you are not able to perform the exercise properly - stop and recover. Better to do it right than to fatigue and miss out on the purpose of the exercises.
