saturdays with my xfit familia

my saturdays are always without fail, spent with these awesome-s peoples. i literally spend almost the entire day with them. i try to go as much as possible, provided im outstation with work-ish stuffs. but if not, saturdays are dedicated to functional-ish crossfit-ish training with these peeps. oh and did i mention eating as well. 

there are 2 sessions, 10am and 3pm. this week i had something on in the morning, so i went for the 3pm session. if i join the 3pm sesh, the day with these people starts with lunch. our favourite usual is the legendary chillipanmee. so it was fill tummies first, workout later. 

we have birthday wods, named in honour of bdays of the honeybadgers (yes that's wad we are called). in honour of beast vinesh and sexysexymatt's birthday, felix concocted the matt/vivi's bday wod-which was quite the killer i have to say. the aftermath of this wod-my traps are aching, i can feel my sore butt, and my quads are pretty much gone now. so *drumrolls*


that's the wod. there is a time cap of 30 minutes on the wod. well, i did the scaled down version of course, because i'm not beast-ess enough. 

we always start of with some stretches. and my flexibility is absolute crap! that is me laughing at how absurd the pain was. so unglam. 



then the wod begins. starting off with the pistol squats, 16 on each side. 



then we hit the front squats. 



the pullups i scaled down to rows. there is no way i can do 19 pullups-twice. 

then the 88 calorie row. which was painful. 



and then we do it one more time. i tell u, the second time round, the front squats were painful to do. 

and finish it with 91 kb swings. 

i clocked in a time of 27 minutes and 43 seconds. yeps they call me meldiva. that's my name. 


now, meet the familia.
