CrossFit: Month One
by Devon Akmon
I just completed my first month of CrossFit. Below is a summary of the Workouts of the Day (WOD). On average, I worked out three times per week. Occasionally, due to conflicts with my schedule, I attended only two sessions per week. The summary below does not include other forms of training that have taken place over the past month, including running and spinning workouts. On a final note, I did not include the warmup routines in the pictures of the workouts. Generally, the warmup included: 200 meters rowing, 10 air squats, 10 push-ups, 10 lunges, 5 pull-ups, 5 PVC arm rolls; as many sets as possible for 8 minutes.

Goal: AMRAP (As Many Rounds as Possible) in 20 Minutes:
Run 400m
Max Rep Pull-ups
Score total number of pull-ups and rounds completed.
Rules: Start with a 400m run. Perform max rep pull-ups until you no longer can stay on the bar and touch the ground. Chin should clear the bar and there should be full range of motion. Touching the ground terminates the round and you must run 400m. This is the “penalty”. Re-gripping is allowed provided you do not touch the ground. Goal is to perform the highest amount of pull-ups you can in 20 minutes.
Final score: 39 pull-ups
