The Black Box - CrossFit NYC

Today was a main site rest day. CFNYC follows the main site WODs and programs their own WOD on rest days. Today's was:

7 rounds for time:
250m row

25 V ups

10 kettlebell press each arm (I did 44# first 3 rounds, then 35# last four rounds)

I'm new to the V ups and figured it would be the hardest part, which it was. Rx weight on the presses was 53# but I knew that'd be to much, so I started with 44# and scaled to 35# when I needed. Presses were strict (no push press) which took it's toll on my shoulders, no pain just hard work.

Time 27:21

Did WOD with one other guy, while there was a few guys doing a fundamentals class learning Fight Gone Bad. Another guy was doing the recent Cleans and ring HSPU WOD. It cool to see a guy actually doing those things...his final dismount was as ugly as mine probably would've been!

It was cool working out there. The box was about what I figured it would be. Unassuming from the outside, you'd have no idea it was even there. No frills inside, just necessary equipment (lots of bumpers, 6 rowers, a big ol' pull up rack, a few sets of rings hanging, kettlebells, some balls, jump ropes, and a trash can full of 5' sections of PVC) , cubby holes for your stuff, and one guy yelling out times and encouragment as the WODs go on.

When it comes right down to it, any WOD is just hard work...your location doesn't make it any easier!
