Today we are rowing some intervals that take us to the middle of the lactic acid pathway.
Set the CII Rower for intervals a minute long with a minute's rest.
We are going to row ten of the intervals. This is a twenty-minute workout.
On the efforts, set the rower to projected meters and row the first interval at 95%
On the rest, row easy, maximizing your recovery.
On subsequent intervals attempt to repeat the distance covered on the first interval.
Submit your total distance for each of the ten intervals.
IF YOU CAN'T ROW,
On a track run a lap, walk the next. Repeat until you've run ten and walked ten.

Let's give the hips and legs a little break today! We've got three options today depending on your fitness ability. Pick one.
Warm-up, including sit-ups and back extensions.
Do 100 pull-ups and 100 dips on the Gravitron or other assisted pull-up/dip device.
OR
Do 50 pull-ups and 50 dips without assistance.
OR
Do 15 muscle-ups on the rings.
Finish with sit-ups and back extensions.
Regardless of which option you choose submit the number of sets and time it took
to complete the assignment. In the case of assisted pull-ups/dips also submit the
amount of assistance.

You've got 20 minutes to do as many pull-ups, squats (free-squat, or air squat),
push-ups, and sit-ups and back extensions as possible. There's one rule; the total
number of reps must include equal counts of each exercise. Work hard and fast.
(I'd suggest you try reps of five of each and see if you can move continuously for the thirty minutes.)
Let's put some energy in to the five CrossFit Challenges (No's 1-5)
Vertical-leap 1/2 your body height.
Muscle-up 10 times in a row without touching ground or coming off of the rings.
Run 1 mile then complete a single set of bench press at body weight 21 reps, all within 10 minutes.
Beat Garth Taylor's 1:25.5 500-meter Row.
21 reps of dumbbell "thrusters" at 1/2 your body weight.
Don't let the enormity of the challenge deter your trying! Make a serious attempt at each
challenge and record the result. Save for late comparison. If you cannot do a muscle-up,
try anyway; the struggle is more important than the accomplishment.
Daniel Kawika Bennett has achieved number 2, number 4 is Garth Taylor's,
and number 5 belongs to Cameron Earle. No one has completed two challenges

"Tabata Interval" Squat
(Squat for 20 seconds, rest for ten, repeat for total of 8 efforts in 4 minutes)
Take note of the weakest number of squats in each of the 16 intervals.
Use the least amount of assistance possible to complete the pull-ups and use
max load on bench press.
This entire workout takes just over twenty minutes. Take note of the devastation.
Ask yourself what it is that your friends are doing in the gym for hours at a time.
