rest day
From our old Comrade Alan Cook, now operator of hypoxia gym:
We ponder this in the middle of a lung busting, leg burning workout some days.
In the past seven days, I have managed to taste the plasma from my lungs at the end of three different workouts. It makes your teeth hurt. The copper taste of your own blood in your mouth makes you wonder. It takes longer to recover from the workout than the workout itself. There is no place you can go, no position you can get in that is comfortable. Only time and the natural rush of blood flushing out the accumulated after effects of the workout from your muscles makes you feel better.
Ever cough all night because of your workout? We do.
Some are afraid to feel this way, and push this hard during a workout. Us? Our little “cult?” Our little group of “overachievers?” We are afraid to not feel this way! We are afraid to NOT feel this way!
Killing the Coward Within. That’s what we do here most days. Go kill your coward. Some people never face him. We regularly meet him, greet him, and then punish him.
What is your why?

rest
What good are sit ups? How do you get out of bed in the morning? If you're strong and healthy you probably sit up. If you've been avoiding the core movements and have back problems then you probably role over like a 90 year old and hobble to your feet.
If someone were to knock you on your back what would you do? I would sit up and I would do it with intensity. I wouldn't cross my arms making sure that my hands stayed on my shoulders and elbows touched my knees and all of the other misguided criteria that most institutions use to measure a person's fitness based on a dissected form of sit ups, one that has been raped of all potential for injecting intensity. Consequently I train the sit up with intensity, using my arms just like I would in real life. I still get sore just like you think I would by doing the cheesy infomercial exercises (although those have been deleted of all intensity and aren't nearly as effective as intense sit ups).
The bottom line is that sit ups are a fact of life whether they are a part of your fitness regimen or not. If you don't want to hobble out of bed then start injecting some intensity into your sit ups. We should practice the movements that nature demands of us; hence, the value of crossfit. If you aren't training for real life then what are you training for? What else is there?

read the small print
small print: every time you break the set you will pay with 10 pull ups. If you break your set of pull ups you will pay with 20 jumping pull ups. If you get this far and break your set of jumping pull ups, as defined by taking your hands off of the bar, then you are done.
