Huntsville Round 2

Back in Huntsville, AL this week. Went to a different CF box this time cause the WOD at CrossFit Huntsville today was:

Run 5k

I have a hard time paying $15 to run 5k. Went to CrossFit Impulse instead (nice website no?). First drop in is free, subsequent drop ins are $15. I think they're unlimited rate is $125 or $135 monthly. I would live like a f-ing king in Alabama. Nice facility at CF Impulse, can't think of anything they didnt have that you would need for a WOD.

Oly platforms, ropes, and a sweet pullup rig


Facing the front entrance. The wood contraption behind the GHDs is a Rogue "wall" like they had at the 2010 games for climbing over, pretty awesome.

Warmed up with a 400m run. Then did some agility work with forwards/backwards sprints around those half cones they use for soccer drills. Also did side steps over a row of 8 parallettes.

WOD, which I think was a mainsite WOD from a few weeks ago:

15 min AMRAP
10 Wall ball shots 20#
10 Toes to bar
10 Box jumps

8 rounds + 6 toes to bar

Great workout, partly b/c it was so easy to scale to any skill level. There was an asian woman in the class with the same name as my mom. Weird. I was shooting for 10 rounds. I got through 4 unbroken I think. I was trying to keep up with a guy who was a few inches shorter than me but clearly shredded, unfortunately he was basically a round ahead of me as soon as we started. Found out at the end that he was one of the trainers - he only got 1 more round than I did so I don't feel that bad. He said one thing that helped him pull ahead of everyone else in the class was faster squat reps on the wall balls. Something to think about next time - trying to do the wall ball squat as fast as air squats.
