    *35 minute time cap

    Workout notes: Today’s workout definitely  fall into a longer time domain than what you might normally see.  That means the workout lands in the oxidative metabolic pathway. Work with weights that you are certain you can perform large sets or move continuously. That means you should be able to do a really big set when you are fresh! If you are new to this level of volume  and/or CrossFit.  Scale the workout but completing only 1 or 2 of the rounds!

  • August 26, 2016

    Skill

    Rope Climbs

    Pack your long socks or knee sleeves today to protect your ankles and shins! Spend today’s skill practice working on learning to climb the rope!  A good way to establish that you have the baseline strength to attempt a climb is by performing a bodyweight hang test with your legs off of the rope while you are just above the ground.  If you are not quite ready perform rope pull-ups and practice jumping to the rope and locking in those feet. There are several methods to wrap the feet and make the climb easier so find which works best for you! Watch the video to see one of our favorites!

    Workout notes: 

    5 Rounds for reps with one minute on each station

    Rope Climbs
    Push-ups
    Row for calories
    rest

    Workout notes: This workout will be scored as you would score the workout “Fight Gone Bad”.  Note that your number of reps on the climbs will be much lower than the other two movements but that is not a reason to game this workout by going easy on the first movement!  With that in mind remember that rope climbs usually take a while and require a significant rest so 1 or 2 climbs per minute would totally normal. 3 per minute would be considered fast when you are tired!

  • August 25, 2016

    Skill

    EMOM for 10 Minutes
    Handstand push-ups

    The strength and skill minimum for attempting handstand push-ups is 10 perfect and unbroken Push-ups as well as at least a 60 second handstand hold.  If you aren’t able to perform the base skills, scale the movement to one that gets you working on the movement and addresses your biggest weakness. Spend 30 seconds of each  minute working on the skill by working in small sets or performing single reps if need be. Scale with one or two abmats in order to learn the skill but make sure you meet the baseline requirements for a handstand push-up before attempting the movement!

    WOD

    AMRAP in 20 minutes
    3 Power Cleans 205/145 lb
    15 Toe-to-bar
    30 Walking Lunge Steps

    Workout notes: The suggested load on the barbell is in the heavier range.  You can use this opportunity to attempt a load that is slightly above the 60% range or a little bit more than what you might normally use in a workout.  The rep count for the cleans is low during each round which gives you some recovery between sets allowing for a slightly heavier loading. Large sets of toe-to-bar are another difficult skill so plan on breaking them up into small chunks to get through each round.  Lastly, the lunges are bodyweight so don’t get crazy and try to do lunges with the barbell!

  • August 24, 2016

    Skill

    Deadlift
    2-2-2-2-2

    If you were able to make the Deadlift workshop on Sunday, now is your chance to put your new knowledge to the test!  Work up to a strong effort set of  two deadlifts.  This doesn’t necessarily mean you go up to max effort, but work up in weight as you feel comfortable. Judge your effort by the strain it takes you to achieve each lift.  New lifters should keep the load light and work on proper body mechanics as they increase in weight.  Start with a light weight and make sure that you have established a straight back and an  appropriate setup as you address the bar.  Be sure to maintain your posture as you progress though each set of two and as you increase in weight.

    WOD

    AMRAP in 10 Minutes
    30 Double Unders
    10 Burpees

    Workout notes: Today we are again tackling the difficult double under! If you are scaling the movement by volume make sure you get at least 100 attempts in.  For those of you that have double unders, a large percentage of the workout will be consumed by the burpee so use this opportunity to push the pace of that movement!

  • August 23, 2016

    Skill

    EMOM for 10 Minutes

    Straight set of Kipping Chest To Bar Pull-Ups

    During your skill work practice ten minutes of kipping pull-ups.  We are looking for sustainable sets of at least 2-3 pull-ups for beginners. Each round should be fairly low intensity if you are new to the movement so expect to work for only few seconds of each round. If you can sustain sets of 5 it’s likely you are starting to master the skill.  If chest-to-bar is not happening today scale to pull-ups or kipping swings.

    WOD

    3 Rounds for time
    21 Power Snatches 95/65lb
    400M Run

    Workout notes: This workout is another classic CrossFit couplet! The prescribed barbell movement is suggested on the lighter side so we’re looking for a load that is less that 60% of your 1RM.  With a light snatch like the goal should be to complete the workout in a small number of sets. If you are forced to do singles early on you have gone too heavy!

  • August 22, 2016

    EMOM for 10 Minutes
    1 Power Clean + 2 Split Jerks

    Today’s focus will be primarily on the split jerk.    For this complex work with a weight light enough that you can clean it from the floor and catch in a partial squat before you setup for your jerk sequence.  You will need to mange bringing the bar down from overhead safely and for that reason you load may be much lighter than what you work with for strong effort lifts.

    WOD

    AMRAP in 10 Minutes
    5-10-15-20-25…*
    Box Jumps 24/20″

    *200M Run after each round

     Workout notes: This workout will be scored by your last completed round plus any extra reps you complete in your last round if you do not entirely finish.  If you complete the round of 25 and get 5 box jumps into the round of 30 your score would be 25 +5.  There is a potential for a lot of box jumps here! Make sure you control each rep and jump only when your legs are fresh. The movement will increase in difficulty as the rounds increase and you get fatigued. Rest at the top of the box when needed and try to push the pace without hitting failure.

    WOD

    AMRAP in 15 Minutes
    15 Front Squats 135/95 lb
    15 Push-ups
    Workout notes: Both of these movements compliment each other in that each provides a small portion of recovery for the other but remember that squats and push-ups are NOT isolated arm and leg movements! You will need to engage your midline and press the elbows up in order to keep the bar loaded on the torso during the front squat. With the push-up, hold a tight and static hollow position in your midline and keep the back static throughout the entire range of motion. If you are scaling perform a push-up that keeps your midline stable rather than compensating by worming your way off of the floor! It will be difficult but you will be rewarded in the long run.

    Workout notes: This workout consists of two movements that will test your posterior and grip quite a bit.  Even if you can do the first round of kettlebell swings unbroken it may not be a good idea if that taxes your hamstrings too much. If you feel yourself going to failure during the swings set the kettlebell down and continue in sustainable sets or drop sets!  This workout comes to us from crossfit.com!
