The staff at the China World Hotel gym stopped asking if I was OK after dropping weights or watching my shaky handstands… In fact my crazed running from C2 rower to pullup bar to squat rack made them rediscover their own gym. Or so I’d like to believe.
Day 2 of Hell Week made me invent the word ‘progressive fatigue’. May not sound like much but it describes my state of mind and P.F. rhymes with B.S. which is how I start feeling about my programming this week.
Just realized that having ‘Josh’ after ‘Fran’ was a really bad idea. My shoulders and legs agree.

Climbing the Summer Palace in Beijing. The world’s largest royal palace grounds.
In the evening I got to see Kevin Spacey play Richard III in the National Theater. Not much CrossFit there but was an amazing venue…
