I had to take some time off to let my body recover and because I was getting demotivated by a lack of progress. Now I know that I just have to try twice as hard!

Practiced doing one legged squats off a chair. Couldn't do them, so I switched to two legged squats not off a chair.

Ran 1 mile.

They are a special kind of Crossfit squat called "air squats" where you don't actually use any weight.

So you squatted 0 pounds and then ran 1 mile. This is the advanced program that is improving your fitness level?

Have you injured yourself yet? Have they asked you if you wanted to buy a Crossfit timeshare?

by **fullerene** Wed Sep 18, 2013 11:23 pm

I ran 1 mile for time, plus did push-ups and sit-ups.

How much are you paying for high school gym class?

by **fullerene** Mon Sep 23, 2013 2:10 pm

It's not high school gym class! It's high-level, specifically programmed GPP training!

by **fullerene** Wed Oct 16, 2013 12:50 pm

Getting nervous for tonight's WOD. High reps with the full 45 pound bar for squats and presses. I don't know if I'll be able to get too many.

I hit a PR or doing 50 unbroken air squats yesterday.

So you can squat no weight at all, but you can do that more frequently. Great.
