Leroy & Leyon tackle CrossFit
We invited Leyon & Leroy in for a CrossFit workout - their first. We knew it would be an ass-kicker... and it was. The following day, Jonesy and I decided to give it a whirl. This is what happened...
8” & 12” stackable Plyo Boxes for Box Jumps
We embarked on a three-month journey to create a better design for a plyo box. This is what we came up with. In this video, Tony Grover, the chief woodworker/master craftsman, describes the boxes themselves and how to make them.
Taping your hands for pull-ups
This is part two of my video series of taking care of your hands - how to make a protective tape wrap for your hands. This is the best method I know for protecting your hands (or existing rips) from workouts with a lot of pull ups. Watch and use... and don't forget to keep your calluses trimmed (from part 1)!
Hand Care (part 1) - trimming calluses
“Nancy”
The workout:
5 rounds for time of:
400m Run
15 Overhead Squats - 95 pounds
We shot this at the finals of our "Nancy" Challenge at the Santa Monica High School Track. Was a lot of fun to do the workout at a completely new/different location - and surprisingly not really faster, running around the track.
“Eva”
The workout:
5 rounds for time of:
800m Run
30 Kettlebell Swings - 2 pood
30 Pull-ups
In my opinion, this is one of the most difficult CrossFit Girl workouts. It chews you up and spits you out. The 800m runs for me become "rest" from the swings and pull-ups.
FYI - this isn't the original music - we were forced to change it due to copyright infringement issues with YouTube.
