Part 1:
5 Rounds For Time:
25 Hip Extensions
30 GHD Sit-ups
Time - 12:05
Rest 3 Hours
Part 2 (CrossFit Endurance):
8 x 200m Sprint, 90 second recoveries
Times - :36, :31, :32, :33, :31, :33, :32, :33
Felt strong on part 1. Did all hip extensions unbroken and for most rounds split the GHD sit-ups into sets of 15/5/5/5. I was pretty taxed for the sprints but I was able to recover fairly well between sprints.
Goals For Next Time: Part 1 - 11:20
Part 2 - Same times with 60 second recoveries.
"Valid criticisms of a fitness program need to speak to measurable, observable, repeatable data. If an alternative to CrossFit is worthy of our consideration it ought to be presented in terms of distance, time, load, velocity, work and power related to movements, skills, and drills. Give me performance data. CrossFit can be scientifically and logically evaluated only on these terms.
Criticisms of any program by summonsing exercise physiologists, dead or living, or triangulating a programs tenets vis-a-vis other programs and theories takes the discussion conveniently from the real to the theoretical where neither logic nor science can explore meaningful assertions about or devise tests of a programs strengths and weaknesses. Criticisms misplaced so seem to always come with the trappings, language, and style of science. Those least inclined to allow for scientific analysis are regularly given to scientific jargon, citing authority or studies, and ad hominem attack."
