    [creativ_alertbox icon=”” colour=”red” custom_colour=””]Please note: We will have limited hours on Monday 9/5/2016 for the Labor Day Holiday! Classes will be held at 8,9 and 10AM! [/creativ_alertbox]

    WOD

    for time
    50 Chest-To-Bar Pull-ups
    75 Push-Ups with feet on a 45 lb plate
    100 Overhead Walking lunge steps 45 lb plate

    Workout notes: Today’s workout is formatted a little bit like the famous CrossFit workout “Angie”.  We start with the most difficult movement the Chest-To-Bar Pull-up and transition from there to push-ups and lungess.  This workout is a chipper and might be considered one of the more difficult ways to see movements. You have a high number of repetitions done all at once so no “recovery” from one movement while you work on another.  All of the movements here can be scaled independently.  You can perform chin over bar pull-ups, ring rows or jumping pull-ups if you are not quite ready for Chest-To-Bar. The push-ups can be scaled by putting your feet on the floor or doing them from your knees. The lunges can be performed without the plate to give your shoulders a rest if need be. If you are new to this level of volume scale the total number of repetitions.

    [creativ_alertbox icon=”” colour=”red” custom_colour=””]Please note: We will have limited hours on Monday 9/5/2016 for the Labor Day Holiday! Classes will be held at 8,9 and 10AM![/creativ_alertbox]

    WOD

    3 Rounds for time
    10 Thrusters 135/95 lb
    100 Double Unders
    10 Thrusters 135/95 lb
    400M Run

    Workout notes: This workout is not your typical three round triplet! We’re stepping up the thruster weight and going for a heavier weight. The rep count is on the lower end for each set but there are 60 total so be conservative if you are planning on stepping up what you might normally do in a thruster workout.  There is no need to go unbroken during each set but you should be using a weight that you could do at least a moderate sized set with. If you are starting out with single reps you may have gone too heavy! If you don’t quite have double unders nailed yet and scale the volume make sure you get in at least 100 attempts!

    Skill

    EMOM for 10 Minutes
    3 Power Snatch

    Use this opportunity to work on your power snatch technique and/or barbell cycling.  We’re not looking for a 3 RM in this workout so start working with a weight that is in the 60% range and possibly a little higher but don’t go to max.  Practice creating vertical hip drive  as the bar passes your knees and then drop under the bar and into a partial squat to catch the barbell overhead.

    WOD

    Every 4 Minutes for 4 Rounds*

    15 Burpee Box Jumps 24/20″
    15 Kettlbell Swings 32/24 kg
    200M Run

    *Start rounds at 0:00,4:00,8:00 and 12:00 on the clock. Record the time of each “chipper”. Use your remaining time in each 4 minute interval as rest.

    Workout notes: For this workout you record the time of each attempt of burpee box jumps, kettlebell swings and  200M Run. Note your time when you come in from the 200M run.  This workout is interval training in a short time domain so you should be pushing pretty hard each time you go through the chipper. Go hard in each round but use the first round to “test” the workout and try to record negative splits in your next three attempts.    If you find that you do not complete any of the first three attempts under 4 minutes continue the workout as you would if it were a 16 Minute AMRAP.
