Morning Madness!

The Mile Time Trial was an epic event for both individual athletes and Paradiso CrossFit as a whole.

  The turnout was huge, races were nail biting, and PRs were crushed.

  Look forward to more events like these in the near future.

As for the workout of the day, it’s a fiercer and more muscular version of ‘Cindy’ with Chest to Bar pull ups instead of regular pull ups, and ring dips instead of push ups.  It’s 20 minutes, so pace it out fast and sustainable.  Most of the movements are basic as well so we want you to focus on virtuosity of movement and impeccable mechanics.

  Good thing you guys are warming up with the greatest barbell movement in the history of all mankind, the Back Squat.
