Cindy

20 Minutes As Many Rounds As Possible (AMRAP)
5 Pullups
10 Pushups
15 Squats

Ahh, the Cindy.  Still remember, my first every Crossfit workout was a Mini-Cindy with Nick over at OTG.  Got 4 rounds back then, and I was slaughtered.  I really wish Nick would have video taped that one.

What a difference a year (and change) makes.

Today, PR'd the Cindy with 22 Rounds.

My last PR was 19 Rounds (almost 20) back in December.  Back then I was still getting back into it.  I hit 20 at about the 17 minute mark (and change).  I finished 22 at 19:40, with 30 seconds left to go, so I know I can definitely get 23.  That said, I think I am going to take a few months off from Cindy now and see if I can bring up my pushups.

The big limiting factor was push ups, which I was into 4s and 3s for many of the later rounds.  The pullups were all unbroken, and very strong, getting a lot better there.  The squats were also all unbroken, no real problems there.  Pushups were tough.

Nice PR.  If I bring up the pushups a little bit, I should easily be able to get 23 next time, maybe 24.

Cindy

Ahh the Cindy, where I started Crossfit.

This is the full Cindy, AMRAP in 20 minutes
5 pullups
10 pushups
15 squats

I got a PR today at 19 rounds + 5 + 7.  Used the new pullup bar.

I was just shy of my goal of 20 rounds.

I know I can get 20.  I should have pushed harder on the squats, and been a little more agressive to the bar.  The pushups are the weakest movement here.  I did 5, then rest for 4 breathes, then 5 on all pushup rounds.  By the end, I was breaking twice on the pushups, which killed my time.

I didn't wear gloves and I didn't have tape, so I chalked heavily before every pullups.  I think just having tape would get me that extra 30 seconds I needed to get to 20.

I opened up at the end, but they weren't too bad.

The moral of the story is, TAPE TAPE TAPE, and push through the squats a little faster, and we WILL get 20 rounds.
