Luke embraces the suck as he goes for the 12 ft. wall-ball target
We are huge fans of using high-intensity short-duration exercise. There is no doubt high-intensity training is great for increasing strength, speed, power, cardiovascular endurance, and stamina. But it has also been shown to greatly improve posture, joint health, sleep, flexibility, blood pressure, bone strength, and fat loss.
If it is so beneficial to do high-intensity exercise, why doesn't everyone do it? Because it is hard, uncomfortable, and brings to people the true meaning of suck! The ability to embrace the suck is what sets CrossFit athletes (we're all considered athletes here) apart from the rest!
Embrace the suck! Reap the rewards!

WOD: 10:28 (about 50 sec. slower than last time)
Super bummed with the time. I ended up dropping the bar on the last thruster and couldn't clean it back up, which took off about 30 sec. Even though I did close to what I wanted to do with pullups this time in terms of sets, my arms were just failing with the thrusters.
