“Noodle Arms” (Bowman CrossFit?)

I hooked up with Seth today at Bowman Fitness and we did a workout he found and (aptly) named "Noodle Arms."

3 Rounds for time of:

  • Run 400m
  • 15 push-ups
  • 15 pull-ups
  • 15 push-ups
  • 15 squats
  • 15 push-ups
  • 15 sit-ups
  • 15 push-ups

We forgot to start the stopwatch when we began, but I think we got pretty good times. Felt like sub 20 minutes. We'll be sure to work the clock next time. My arms are still twitching as I type this.

Seth has been flying solo recently on the CrossFit front and has done a lot of studying on it, and has compiled a huge list of workouts that should keep us going for quite some time. He's gotten very organized, which I find great, cause I suffer from an acute lack of organization lately. Working out with Seth again has reminded me how much of the appeal to CrossFit for me is actually the people that I work out with. The camaraderie and friendly competition are great motivational factors and actually make the misery enjoyable. The desire to quit is diminished greatly when there's someone next to me NOT quitting. Anyhow, enough sappy stuff. I'm sure Matt thinks I'm gay enough by now, if he's reading.


So yeah, happy weekend everybody. Here's a picture of a monkey in a dress:

Great workout today. The 180 push-ups has seemingly greatly increased the force of gravity on my arms - so heavy.
It's very nice to get back to working out with a fellow cross-fitter. You didn't have to show me up like that though.
Already looking forward to Monday's workout. Now I just need to pick out the routine.

Hah. Idonno if I'd call that showing you up. I never really got more than about a set ahead. Damn you and your long legs.

True, it was probably close enough to keep you from slowing up too much and letting me catch you.
The running was the only place I could make up ground. Couldn't match your pace on the push-ups.

Good times.

I wanna watch. :P

Erin says to me yesterday:

"Man, with a name like Harder, he HAS to do CrossFit.... how does he know when his wife is telling him what to do, anyway, and not just saying his name?"

Hah!
I'll have to pass that comment on to my wife. This is precisely why she hesitated to take my name when we were married.

BTW: It's all about the context.
