Check out that rack!

Take some advice from Greg Everett and work on a quick turn over to get to that super solid front rack position in a flash.  Improving the clean through a better turnover.

Monday’s Lesson Plan

Coaches, go over the technique review prior to the warm up then set your students loose.  They’ll then have 35 minutes to get through the warm-up and following technique session.

Warm Up:  Barbell Complex

Grab an empty barbell and go through the following sequence 4 times:

-5 reps dead lift
-5 reps hang power clean
-5 reps shoulder press
-5 reps front squat
-5 reps push press

Tech: Clean and Jerk

Work up to a pristine yet heavy 1 rep clean and jerk.  Warm up some progressively heavier front squats on your way up in weight.

WOD:  Front Squats and Knuckles-to-Nipples Ring Pull-Ups

-7 minutes AMRAP front squats at 80% of your Clean and Jerk weight from tech session. (no racks)
-Rest 3 minutes
-5 minutes AMRAP Knuckle-to-Nipple ring pull-ups. (use the false grip, it’ll be way easier!)

Score is total reps.  If you don’t have the ring pull-ups as prescribed do static supine-grip (underhanded) pull-ups on the bar.  Go to a band if necessary but no kipping!  :)

Thursday’s Ladder Board WOD is going to be Diane.

Don’t fear Fran. Especially partner Fran. You’re only doing half the work, and if all goes well you could earn your booze money for the weekend.

Tomorrow 11 am. Be there. Or come watch. And bring something to eat. Paleo, not paleo. We’re easy.

It can’t be worse than the 5 km run yesterday!!!! Although Dexter makes it look fun in this picture:




LOVE Eunice

There will be no running today. So the folk that are ‘not into running’ all is good to come on back 😉 . I want to thank all who came out and tackled the 5k. It is just as important as Fran or any other CrossFit WOD.  Life will not give us the opportunity to cherry pick what could or could not occur, just as the CrossFit games will not allow the athletes to choose the workouts they would like to compete in… could you imagine!  So good on you… thanks to those of you who came to run!

Warmup:( max L-sit x 3)

Max L-sit for leader board (3 attempts it must be a  clean L-sit, locked with straight knees, ankles together & toes pointed)

 

Tech/ Wod:
Deadlift 1-1-1-1-1 up to 80% of your one rep max

BenchPress 1-1-1-1-1 up to 80% of your one rep max


Get in for Saturdays Fran for dollars, show with a partner and a good attitude and get in a great workout for a good cause, for more info Fran for Dollars: It’s not NEARLY as bad as FRAN  is the link to sign up

 

Saturday’s Wod:

Warmup:( ABC’s sprinting warmup )

WOD Sprinting.

Coach will pull some matting out to the alley way so you athletes won’t cut your hands and knees on the asphalt, two athletes at a time will compete head to head as they complete 6 burpees followed by a 50m sprint. Record your fastest round on the stop watch!

6 Rounds, recover as needed!

6 burpees

50m sprint

My apologies to Eunice & morning crew as my post went up a little late.

 Today I would like to present you with a GREAT option for the die-hard crossfitter.  It’s called Anywhere Fit and it’s organized by crossfit games celebrities Blair Morrison and Iceland Sven! Over the last 2 years the 2  have organized 10 day trips around iceland where a group of people have been given the opportunity to experience the country in a very intimate way via blood, sweat and a whole lot of exercise that includes more sweat!  Every day the group explores a new site and does a WOD that takes advantage of landscape circumstance that surrounds them. (ever try a  Turkish get up with a huge chunk of lava rock?).

Next year the duo have 2 trips planned, one to South America (10 day trip, http://crossfitmobile.blogspot.ca/2012/07/anywherefit-2013-details.html) and another weekend trip to Whales (3 days/2 nights, http://www.anywherefitwales2012.moonfruit.com/#/trip-info/4568939117).
If you want to live it up next year,  checkout these links, perhaps you’ll want in.
 Oh and of course Iceland Sven, this is a plug for my homeboy Gunnar!
Thursday: Run 5 km

Meet up at CFV,  We’ll jog you down to China Creek Park, warm you up and send you for 9 laps.  You can do it!
Cool down back at the school with max Turkish get up :)
