"We don't have the agility of gymnasts, the power of a weightlifter, or the endurance of a marathoner but we have more agility, power, and endurance than any gymnast, weightlifter or marathoner. We do your stuff almost as good as you, you can’t do our stuff at all and we do stuff neither of us does way better than you can." -Greg Glassman, aka "Coach"

Dirst day of Crossfit. Here is what I had been doing:

Wednesday: 5x5 Bench eding at 410, dips, pushdowns and french press
Friday: 5x5 Squat ending at 475, SLDL and pull-ups

I was supposed to do 30 Muscle-ups for time, but since I do not have rings I did 120 pull-ups and 120 dips. I did 5 reps of each back and forth, the first 25 or so were pretty easy then started doing 3 sets then short break, at around 70 I had to take a short break every set. I didn'y have a timer, but it took about 30 minutes.
