Charlie James VS Cindy

Charlie James -Youtube fitness girl 

Yesterday was a great day at Crossfit!


MAY 29 WOD 'Cindy' AMRAP 20 min
5 pull ups
10 push ups
15 squats
---16 rounds and 5 push ups Rx


On May 29, I completed 16 rounds with the use of a purple band for the pull ups. I thought that was pretty good but I was looking forward to the day when I didn't need the band to help me with pull ups. I've been practicing pull ups all month without a band just to get used to it and ditch the band once and for all!
On June 28 I completed that same WOD without a band and finished off with 16 rounds and 5 push ups . I felt like dying the whole time but my goal was not to limit myself. At first, I was hoping to AT LEAST  get 12 rounds, since I knew it would be  a lot more strenuous without a band. After I reached 12, I realized that I can just keep going at a steady place and get to over 15 rounds. Big improvement in one month...I'm a pretty happy crossfit nerd.
          Ive always thought that Charlie James , I think her real name is Zuzana (youtube fitness star) was so fit and had the greatest workouts that would get anyone in kick ass shape. However, I don't think I'ver ever seen her do a pull up! Other than that she would do great in this WOD because all of her workouts consist of body weight exercises and 'Cindy' is all about body squats and push ups. Charlie Vs Cindy...Hmm, I would like to see that one!
         Charlie James was one of the women I aspired to look like before I started crossfit! I thought she was perfect in every sense! I was about 19 years old when I would watch her videos before going to the YMCA, trying to get some motivation. She was my ideal perfect bod.
-Small arms, big boobs, tinny waist, strong legs.
I realized that to look THAT skinny (because she is practically a double 0), I would have to eat way less and get a boob job. lol Pretty easy. Too easy. Boring.
       
        Doing crossfit made me dump Charlie James. Don't get me wrong, she has a great body...But how can I look up to someone who can't even do a pull up? It's taken me months to learn how to do one and I can't stop bragging! She's been on youtube for YEARS and doesn't do them! YEARS! >>> An example of how 'fitness' girls can make it big on the internet with a great thumbnail picture, tight lulu pants, a lot of fake panting and fake boobs. I'm going to start making videos of my workouts. Minus the fake boobs. I can't promise that I won't be panting because Crossfit kicks my ass every time and I sound like a demon when I'm training...a cute one. I've been working out for years and never really saw any changes in my body. I'm about 5'5 125 pounds. I started doing Crossfit strictly for a bit over 3 months and I've never been stronger! GrrrrrRrr!!! I am just so angry I didn't discover it earlier. I feel like I need to catch up for all the years I wasn't dong it. Oh well.
