Day Eighty-Three: If You Only Own One CrossFit Book...



If you only own one book on training, Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe and Lon Kilgore would be the one to have.

I did all the HSPU forehead to floor, this is a big achievement for me, and being able to do it is a direct result of an increased power to weight ratio. This was a tough one. I tried to bench afterwards and 205x3 crushed me, so I stopped.

Bike ride 7 miles, mostly very slow after the workout: first 1.7 miles to gym was a sprint, 15 MPH, flat, fixed gear
