You’ll end up as a cross fit monster Pinky, if you keep at it.
I know a couple of guys who swears to CF, they’re saying that after some time you’ll get addicted to it and from there you’ll never look back. Only ahead for the next WOD, where you tear the t-shirt off just after starting.
Well anyway I hope the change of pace will bring back the desire to train.
Btw everytime I look at your workouts I start to think in pounds and the oh no it’s kg.
Some weeks ago there were tempo hypertrophy deadlift something like several sets of 3 at 220… kg’s impressive.
That’s the plan. Well it’s always the plan, I guess I’m just competitive like that .

I still hate burpees, the lateral jump just makes them worse. On the plus side it feels like my fitness is improving already 2 weeks in, if only slightly.
No coaching and my form definitely needs improvement.
As @magick said at this point im very much muscling up the weight, and have a very high catch position. Even then I was pretty wobbly at the catch but certainly dont feel like I’m at my strength potential there. Its just such a technical lift that I can’t not be leaving a lot of weight on the table.
With a better transition and a more stable catch I’d hope to be able to go 100+ over the course of a few months.
The high rep pull ups, even kipping, plus snatches is definitely working my back and forearms plenty thats for sure!
Lots of snatches is also great practice for hook grip. I can’t hook on deadlifts, my excuse is the weight is too heavy. I can hook happily on snatch though, and it’s just painful enough to make me think it will work towards acclimatising my thumbs
I think it generally self selects for crossfit at the highest level, because with a lot of bodyweight exercises, and cardio, being lighter for your strength level will be beneficial. This means to top guys will all be lean as well as having built the muscle mass. Lean + muscle = great physique with few exceptions.
