Previous best on "Fran" was ten minutes flat btw.

Not quite sure what happened with the ten minutes at the gym... Maybe it was because I'd done a big workout the day before...

That's a great improvement. Re the legs...they're whipcords of power. Ignore jealous comments about spaghetti. But those shorts are a shapeless bag of shite. Get rid of them and show the sex on legs that is the Rilla off properly!

In Strong: The Movie, somebody makes a funny comment when two rugby guys come to train at DeFrancos. Something about rugby guys wearing baggy shirts and tight shorts and Jersey guys doing the opposite. I like shorts that go down to my knees, though lately I'm starting to feel comfy in shorts that are an inch or two above the knee...

I prefer my shorts just on the knee, so there's a glipse of the good stuff for ladies!

Your good stuff goes all the way to calf-level Sir.

Today's workout:

KB snatch (24kg KB for me)
Burpee
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10
360m run
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1
Too me around 26 mins.
Was absolutely soaked. We had to go indoors today and ended up in a smallish corridor thing. Very little air!

Forgot to add that we finished off with some GHRs as well as some ab stuff. Those GHRs are starting to make their presence known - I expect very heavy DOMS in the morning.

Oly stuff today:
PC
Jerk
Snatch
OHS
3, 2, 1.

Missed a pop at a 100kg PC, because my technique stinks. Basically all my lifts were troll-lifts, meaning all power, no technique.
Banged out 2x10x90kg on the bench after that, just for kicks.

A few words as the the Crossfit I signed up for is off for a month. The next month there'll be an hour of calisthenics followed by an hour of running twice a week.

While CF is hardly revolutional, there are some good ideas. I'm not a fan of using olympic lifts as cardio, but I'm a huge fan of the more hardcore approach to fitness training. Nothing you can't do with a bit of out of the box thinking at the gym/park/in the garage/wherever.
It basically all boils down to adding some form of GPP to your training regularly which I'm a huge fan of. I'd prefer doing it in a more strongman-like way though. Sledgehammers, bag work, farmer walk, sled dragging, prowler pushing or tyre flipping are all Rilla approved.
Group training can have some very good upsides though, if you know the group and everybody's on the same level more or less.
