You most likely did a push-up at some stage in your life before beginning CrossFit, but you may not have done the full spectrum of motion pushups we use in CrossFit. Your arms should be absolutely straight at the top, and your chest should be in touch with the ground at the bottom.
Three rounds for time of:
20 Walking Lunges; with dumbbells 1/4 your body weight, alternating legs.
20 Push-ups, as few sets as possible.
20 Pull-ups, as few sets as possible.
20 Pike-ups (On back, arms overhead, flex at hip only until toes and fingers
meet above hips joint. No trunk flexion).
Repeat this circuit three times with no rest. Push hard; make each set a worthy effort.
Use your judgement on the reps. Great athletes will make each set a challenge and
execute the movements with great control and technique.
Max heart rates are readily available here. For you fighters, this is a fight.
