Back to Basics

No complicated lifts in today's workout, but it sure gets tough. A CrossFit classic:

Cindy - AMRAP in 20 minutes:
5 Pull-ups
10 Push-ups
15 Squats

To get the most benefit from the exercises, attempt to maintain good form and range-of-motion.

Pull-Ups: Full arm extension at bottom, chin over bar at top.
Push-Ups: Chest & thighs touch floor at bottom, full arm extension at top.
Squats: Hip crease below knees at bottom, full hip extension at top.

Results:
Jason - 14 rounds, sub clapping pull-ups
Seth - 18 rounds + pull-ups + 2 push-ups
James - 13 rounds + pull-ups + push-ups, subbed anchored sit-ups for squats

14 rounds - did clapping pull-ups in place of regular ones for an added challenge. i thought it would be a neat idea...turns out it was not so much neat as it was hard/dangerous. :)

Those clapping pull-ups are a bit tricky. Messes up the kipping rhythm for me.
We should try an all-clapping Cindy some time. Clapping pull-ups, chest-slap/clapping push-ups, maybe some leap/clap squats?

On second thought, maybe not.
