  • December 5, 2013

    We’ll be holding tryouts for the 2014 Sactown Throwdown this weekend at 11AM!  The Saturday 10:30 weightlifting class will be cancelled so we can setup and get the workouts in!

    Strength

    8×3 Weighted Pull-Ups

    Try to add a few pounds from last time.  If you are not quite ready for weighted pull-ups yet, work the bands or do strict bodyweight pull-ups.

    WOD

    3 Rounds for Time

    20 Burpee Jump-To-Plate 
    20 Wall Ball 20/14lbs
    20 Kettlebell Snatch 24/16kg

    Break up the kettlebell snatch anyway that you like.  Use a 45# bumper for the burpees.  Both feet must hit the plate. 

    Off Ramp WOD

    3-5 Rounds for Time of 

    10 Burpee Jump-To-Plate 
    10 Wall Ball, Light Goblet Squat or Air Squat to target
    10 Kettlebell Snatch

    Squat mechanics can be tough!  Use assistance or strip the weight to make sure you’re moving well.  
    If you are new to CrossFit work with smaller sets and cut the total volume down for this workout.  We value intensity more than volume!

    Skill

    EMOM for 10 Minutes

    Odd Sustainable set of Handstand Push-Ups
    Even Sustainable Set of Double Unders

    Talk to your coach about an appropriate way to scale Handstand Push-Ups.  You can use this time to improve your strength by performing pike push-ups or work on kipping from a headstand.   Choose a challenging number of double unders but use this time as skill practice and save some jumps for the metcon!

    WOD

    AMRAP in 10 Minutes

    15 Box Jumps 24/20″
    9 Toe-To-Bar

    Off Ramp WOD

    If possible use a box height that you can safely perform plyometric jumps with.  Be explosive with your rebound and rest at the top.  Scale Toe-To-Bar by first working on knee tucks or Knees-To-Elbows and then incorporating the kipping motion to sustain the movement. 

  • December 3, 2013

    Strength

    E2MOM 14 minutes 

    3 Squat Cleans ~ 70% of your 1RM 

    New lifters should work with a light weight and perform the  Power Clean + Front Squat complex.  Work on riding the bar down into the squat until you can catch it in the bottom. 

    WOD

    3 Rounds for time of

    10 Power Cleans 155/105lbs
    400M Run

    Off Ramp WOD

    Use a weight that is light enough for you to move through all 30 reps with perfect form.  Even though you are performing a power clean on every rep you should land in a partial squat descending as deep as is needed to catch the bar with good form. 

     

  • December 2, 2013

    Strength

    Deadlift 3×5 ~ 75% 

    Work up to around 75% of your 1RM and perform 3 sets of 5 reps at that weight.  New lifters should work up in sets of 5 as well.  Work up to a moderately heavy weight using small increments. 

    WOD

    AMRAP in 8 Minutes

    30 Air Squats
    21 Kettlebell Swings 24/16kg
    15 Pull-Ups

    Off Ramp WOD

    Remember scaling is more than just using a lighter load.  Use a target and/or hold a post to help you achieve full depth squats with an upright torso, flat back and knees tracking over feet.  Swing the kettlebell fully overhead only if you can do so without compromising your midline.
