"You know you do too much Crossfit when...."
You have bruises on your collar bone and thighs from cleans, ripped bloody hands from pull-ups, and butt burn from sit-ups... and you are proud of it!!!!

Wade Olsen said...

You know you do too much CrossFit when you constantly, no matter where you are, look for something to support your weight so to can practice your kipping pull up.

Mandy:) said...

You know you do to much Crossfit when you are in front of the computer everynight by 8:45 to see what kind of WOD they are gonna put you through the next day. ;)

Jill said...

You know you do too much CF when you're filing down your callouses on your hands regularly.

Wade Olsen said...

You know you do much CrossFit when your decision on what to eat before your workout is based on what is the easiest to puke up.

Lars Anderson said...

You know you do to much CrossFit when your doctor demands you stay home due to your severly contagious strep throat and you still check the CF website to see what you are missing. As I choke on my phlegm I am thinking "how soon can I get back there?". There's something wrong with that...

Wade Olsen said...

I hear on that one Lars. Happened to me a week and a half ago.

You know you do too much CrossFit when you squat down to get something off the bottom shelf and you are ashamed that didn't stay on your heels.

Ben said...

Well, last night killed me. I stretched, I iced, my wife massaged, but this morning, I woke up with horrible muscle pain in my lower back, I keep trying to stretch it out, but I'm having trouble standing up straight.

What do you all do for your back pain (if you ever get any)? Thanks!

Viking Crossfit said...

Ben, so sorry about your back! Those back extensions can get you when you are not used to doing so many reps. Keep icing it for 48 hours, then start using heat, like a heating pad. Have your wife keep massaging too. STRETCH really good too. If you don't know any good back stretches come in and we will show you. You can come in and stretch instead of doing a wod. I promise the muscle spasms won't last long. We will go super slow you your back from here on out. Keep icing it!

You know you do too much CrossFit when you do everything for time... except sex, and that's for AMRAP in 20 minutes.

Steve R said...

You do to much CrossFit when:

1. Doing 100 reps of anything is no big deal.
2. Helping you friends and family move is a timed event.
3. Playing with your kids always turns into max rep kid thrusters.

DaveS said...

You know you do too much CF when you just bought a new watch just because it has 2 interval timers that are perfect for Tabata workouts.

Dave and Corey Johnson said...

You know you do too much CF when some part of your body is in pain on a daily basis.

Melanie said...

These are all good ones and fun to read. Thanks everyone. Wade a love your last one.

Jason said...

You know you do too much CF when you have little bruises all over your face from hand stand push ups.

Natalie said...

Anonymous said...

WHOO-HOO 21 POSTS TODAY!!

Wade Olsen said...

You know you are doing to much CrossFit when...

...your favorite numbers are 21-15-9.

...when driving you come to a tight curve and you instinctively grab the steering wheel in a hook grip.

...driving down the road you look at the side of the road to equipment.

...the first question you ask your spouse in the morning is "what is sore?"

...when you insist on explaining the difference between a push press and a push jerk.

...when you finish you WOD at the local global-gym and someone asks you what you are training for.

...when you get questions and unusual comments from your Facebook updates.

...base moving and relocating on what affiliate is located near there.

...when you have to consciously suppress the desire to box jump on everyday object at home.

...you don't use the handicapped bathroom stalls because they don't allow you to squat anywhere near parallel.

...you think is funny that it looks like you were whipped while you were practicing double-unders.

And last but not least...

You know you are doing too much CrossFit when you wake up in a cold sweat screaming "Its only pain! Its only pain!".
