Love & Hate

Love_Hate_Mitchum.jpg

Robert Mitchum's take on the duality of love and hate


Pick two CrossFit moves you love; pick two CrossFit moves you hate. Be honest. And post them to comments.

Nicole and I will then come up with a Love/Hate WOD that will simultaneously allow you to shine and have your weaknesses exposed. The workout will take place on Sunday's rest day (November 11).

The person who comes up with the most interesting combo of exercises (based on Nicole's and my ever-so-subjective opinion) wins a free one-on-one session with either Nicole or me.

There are many that I HATE, but these are at the top of the long list: overhead squats, pistols.

(Others on the HATE list include L pull-ups and rope climb.)

LOVE: ball slams, double-unders (sorry, Daniel)

Wall Ball Shots + Bench Press = Love
Burpees + Overhead Squat = Hate

Very Nice: Wall Ball/Kettle bell swings
Not So Much: Front Squats/400 meter

Love = Box Jumps + GHD SitUps or Hip Extensions
Hate = Thrusters + Burpees

LOVE HATE respectivley
-rope climbs, dead lifts
-front squats, ring dips

Posted by: Raven at November 7, 2007 9:24 PM

Love: Running S-L-O-W, Lunges, and KB swings

Hate: Mornings, Exercising in the Morning, Arriving on time, Any sort of EXPECTATION that I will be on time, or exercise in the morning...

AND don't get started on the "rock and roll" or whatever you call it-- that is some major BS and a total recipe for Rash ASS. Thankfully I miss these most of the time...

Yep--that sums up... ;-)

I love it all - okay, cept double unders and box jumps.

Posted by: brad g at November 7, 2007 9:36 PM

Things that:

Rock: Snatch, clean, jerk, Ball Slamming, Talking about ball slamming, running, pull-ups, sit ups, air squats, select deadlifts, giving Nicole fashion tips, giving Mike fashion tips

Don't Rock: Burpees!, holding yoga poses, explaining to Nicole what an anestitician is

Posted by: angela at November 8, 2007 8:41 AM

Love: Squats (any and all), rowing, deadlifts, running
Hate: Abmat situps (BAS), pushups, 400m lunges, might as well throw Snatches in there, too.

I also enjoy feeling like hell after workouts and not being able to form complete sentences. When I wake up and don't have delayed onset muscle soreness, I feel like something is missing in my life. Showing people my torn hands is also amusing.

Posted by: Tom C at November 8, 2007 12:14 PM

Love: Everything, but not alot of it likes me (i.e. pull-ups, cleans, double-unders - anything that requires timing/rythm)

Hate: Any movement named after an animal...

I love heavy metal.

Posted by: TomC at November 9, 2007 2:36 AM

Apparently Tom doesn't love sleeping.

Get to bed already, dude! You're makin' me tired just seeing that you're posting at 2:36 a.m.!

Posted by: Mike Minium at November 9, 2007 7:00 AM

I have to work from 9 PM tonight until 6 AM Saturday. I was able to say up until 4 this morning in preparation for my late night. Fortunately, I have plenty of heavy metal to see me through the evening. I may be asleep, but we'll see if I can make it to the 9 AM class on Saturday.
