Went to Toni's crossfit box (Crossfit Kehä), and worked out with him and Miku. It was a blast for sure. Started with some olympic lifting, then finished it with a longer metcon. Good suffering. D-ball was a newcomer in my training. Ball could have been a notch heavier. They also had 70kg ball but that was too bulky for me at this point. It was super cool to knock 50 bar muscle-ups at the end of the workout. We did them mostly in triples.
