Common Sense

Common sense would say that if a workout puts you in hospital, it’s not the most productive use of your time. Some would apparently disagree…

I love the quote:

“Mr. Glassman, CrossFit’s founder, does not discount his regimen’s risks, even to those who are in shape and take the time to warm up their bodies before a session.

“It can kill you,” he said. “I’ve always been completely honest about that.”"

High Rep Kettlebell Work…

Good for cardio - not so good for hands!

This is what happens when you do 411 snatches with no chalk = kettlebell slipping at the wrong times.

At this time I would like to recommend Elastoplast spray plaster, which forms a plasticky layer over wounds and stops them getting infected (that is why my hand is shiny in the pic). Note: It hurts like HELL when you spray it on an open wound! :-)
