[Crossfit] first Rx

[forgotten_aria]

(I'm not going to make a crossfit filter unless I start posting a lot)

I did my first Rx today. Only 4 rounds, but it felt good to be able to just do it.

For my records:
10 push press 65lbs
20yd bear crawl
10 push ups (chest to ground)
150m row

16 AMRAP (as many rounds as possible)

Wow! I've been working on this for what feels like forever and I still can't do ten full form pushups :(
Congrats that's awesome.

I can only do the push-ups with wide hand positioning. My triceps are super weak, so if I keep my elbows back, I can't do them.

I'm really surprised. I know how much you've been working on your strength and I bet you can blow me out of the water on anything pull up related. (I still can't even do one with the largest band they have.)

Oh yeah I'm still in wide arm pushups too, forget triceps.
My pullups are at "i can do 3-5 at 100 pounds (that's a 40 pound assist with the machine) or like 2 with a helper band... I wouldn't be surprised if you could also do some at "100 pounds", assisting for the mass your muscles are lifting.
I seem to build strength really slowly and plateau hard :(

yeah, I'm not seeing any strength improvement at crossfit beyond technique improvements. When my shoulder got healed I got a lot of strength back in it, but mostly because I was regaining what I had lost, which is easier.

That's awesome! I can't wait to hear what positive things you get out of this after doing it for a while.
