Another chilly morning in Bethnal Green. Not chilly enough to deter the CrossFit London faithful from cracking in to a Sunday morning WOD, though.

And what was on today’s menu, you ask? Why, Diane of course.

“Diane”

21-15-9 reps of each of the following exercises

• Deadlift
• Handstand push-ups

As with all workouts at CrossFit London we aim to scale the workouts to meet (and challenge!) the capacity of our athletes. So while some will do the workout with the as RX’d (prescribed) weight of 100kg and full-range-of-motion HSPUs, others will use lighter weights and perhaps scale HSPUs from the box. In short, we make sure our workouts are ‘doable’ by anyone, from any background.

Congratulations to Alex and Temi who graduated from the Beginner’s classes to main CrossFit London WODs today!

Finally a big CrossFit London “welcome” to Aaron who joined for his first session today.

“Huuurghhh”, as Andrew and I are fond of grunting.

Sadly, I forgot my camera for this historic session.

In place of exciting/dramatic footage from today’s workout, I give you CrossFit London’s number #2 imagery-based teaching aid: the squirrel.

Imagine, if you will, that you are holding two angry squirrels...
