Crossfit Monrovia - I wuv the Push Press!

Hey Followers - Late in getting this out to everyone but I did an awesome workout at Crossfit Monrovia, CA.  I have been here before but this is the first time I am blogging about it.

I did the 530 PM workout on a surprisingly chilly and rainy day in SoCal but the WOD was good, see below.  This location is big with tons of equipment and plently of room and the people there are very nice!

AMRAP
10 push press
30 DU

As you know I am not such a big fan of the DU, but my practice has gotten me a bit better and so I did enjoy this workout and too up the ante a bit, I did 100 lbs on the push press for my friend Paul!

I did 6 rounds and was happy with that! 

Catch you next time someplace at another Crossfit location!  SU

Crossfit - Edmonton Canada, eh?

Hey Crossfitters - I was up in Edmonton Candada recently and got to visit a Crossfit up there.  This was another crossfit located in an industrial area about 30 minutes from downtown so yes a bit of a cab ride at 5:30 in the morning to get to the 6 am class.    Fairly good size class, 10 people and all really nice people.

The location itself was not very big but they had all the nescessary equipment for a great workout.  Up at this location, we did a full 20 minutes of warm up from box jumps to inch work push ups, to air squats and some yoga moves.  We did a full 10 minutes of light shoulder work to get ready for the WOD.  The workout was as follows

15 min AMRAP

10 body rows
9 box jumps - 24 inch.
8 push press

I really liked this workout, I only did 95 lbs on the push press and got 9 rounds and for me this was good.  I guess I could have done the 115lbs but form is really importand to me so I will work on more weight as I get stronger.  See you next time at another Crossfit
