Many people would call CrossFit an inside joke. Though it is simply a style of working out, its gyms and clients are notoriously cult-ish, while the sport itself has its own terminology — WOD? AMRAP? RX? — and the people who play large roles often become highly characterized versions of themselves (for example, see the JT Facts at the bottom of each of Ben’s blog posts, a Chuck-Norris-style joke which stems from a facebook group of Jeremy Thiel admirers who have never met the man … my fave? JT CAN believe it’s not butter).
Anyway, the point of this is to basically excuse myself for posting the following, which will only be funny to CrossFitters. It’s an email sent to me by fellow CrossFitters Lisa and Alex, who were talking about needing less drinking and more sleep on the weekends, so we need to start SCALING OUR WEEKEND WODs.
Key:
WOD: Workout of the Day
AMRAP: As Many Rounds As Possible
Tabata: 20 seconds of work, 10 seconds of rest. Usually 8 rounds (4 minutes).
Scaled v RX: RX is as prescribed, scaled is less weight/different movements
WOD 1: Molotov
3 rounds
1 bourbon drink
1 water
1 song of Big Mike dance
2 songs freestyle dance
WOD 2: 5th and Congress Chipper
Up 3 flights of stairs to Lanai
2 L7 Martinis
Tabata Water Consumption
Down stairs to Marq
AMRAP dancing rest of night
WOD 3: Girls Night Couplet
Max Effort:
Bottle of Wine
Movie
Of course, we still can decide to go crazy every once in a while. Even Central has 3 WOD days.
