First I went to Diesel CrossFit which was neat because I have never been to a CrossFit facility.

My schedule was as follows, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays I would perform squats, bench presses, and bent over rows. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I would do deadlifts, overhead press, dips, and pullups. After a while it gets very boring, and I stopped pushing myself to my limits. One of my friends had been telling me to try CrossFit and initially I was not sure I wanted to get into CrossFit, because all the people I have met that did CrossFit let it take over their lives.
