I have been doing Crossfit for over 6 months now and have NEVER had a near puking incident...but today's workout was a KILLER.

Thought I would share for those Crossfit junkies...

The name of the workout was "Fight Gone Bad"
3 ROUNDS - 5 MINUTES PER ROUND - 1 MINUTE REST - MAXIMUM REPS

Stations:

Wall ball (14lbs)
Sumo deadlift high pull (55lbs)
Box Jumps (18" box)
Push Press (45lbs)
Rowing for calories

I completed 191 reps, which was like the WORST in my class, but man, am I feeling it now.

    Have you been over-doing it with your workouts this week? You might have pushed it a bit too hard too many times this week without adequate recovery between sessions.

    Hahaha I had a scare a few weeks ago with this routine: (copied and pasted so the numbers are from my records)

    20 Min Stairs level 4 (calorie burn program)

    20 Tredmill - Incline 7.5 at 3.5 MPH 2-3 mins then walk backwards and increase until incline 15 ulternating walking forward and backwards. SO every 2-3 mins of walking switch to backwards then go back to walking and increase incline and keep repeating. The last minute I ran 6.0 MPH at 15.0 incline.
    5 min cool down on Tredmill.

    Circuit
    40 Rounds, 15 seconds exercise, 15 seconds rest

    1. Skater Lunge Jumps - 10, 10, 9, 10
    2. Reptile Push ups - 5 1/2, 5, 3, 2
    3. Jump Squats - 12, 9, 9, 10
    4. Pulls ups (lying down on floor under poll so rev push up I guess) - 7, 6, 6, 7
    5. Jumping Jacks - 14, 16, 16, 12
    6. Dancing Crab - 13, 11, 8, 11
    7. Handing lrg raise (from pull up bar) - 7, 5, 5, 7
    8. Dive Bombers - 4, 5, 3, 4
    9. Plank knee tucks - 15, 15, 15, 18
    10. Gets ups - 5, Stopped b/c I didnt like the way my knees felt the second time around so I jogged in place

    I couldnt even do abs after this!!! I was DONE!!

    I get nauseous after kickboxing... and on my way home I almost want to pull over and puke. I found out its because I wasn't drinking enough water before, after and during my exercising. Is that true in your case? Maybe you just over did it?
    :) At least you didn't puke ewwww

    BTW - 190 reps is totally respectable! FGB is dirtaaaaayyyy! I haven't puked yet, but have come close to passing out. I wouldn't want to puke cos I'd have to eat all those blocks back!:laugh:
