Will Smith has always been one of my favorite actors, but he also has some pretty solid skills as a motivational speaker. The video below is little long, but worth watching. Also, check out his keys to life; running and reading.
Workout
Max unbroken set of pushups
Max unbroken set of kipping pullups
5 rounds for time:
50% of pushup
50% of pullup
15 weighted abmat situps 25lb./15lb.
We will be very strict on the initial max tests. For the workout you will do half as many reps as your max set. So, if you did 30 perfect reps in your max set, you would be doing 5 rounds of 15 each in the workout.
Max set rules:
Pushup – Body maintains perfectly straight line from heel to head during up and down portions. Three-point contact with ground; thigh, chest, and 1-inch nose from deck. No kipping.
Pullup – Kipping allowed. Arms reach perfectly straight position at bottom and chin clears ‘daylight’ over bar for every rep.

The noon class (particularly the women in my opinion) put up some really good pullup numbers. Shows a solid CrossFit mentality: work hard to make a workout even harder!
Great workout. You’re a clever guy, Burke.
