WOD:12AUGUST2011


Well, the time has come.. I need a Vacation. It saddens me to step away for even two weeks. I feel like a parent who's letting his kids go to school all by themselves. So as I wave goodbye to you all as you hop onto the school bus, you can rest assured, I packed you a lunch...ok I'll stop speaking in analogies....

Basically what I mean, is that while I am gone, you will be WELL taken care of.

How its going to work:

For the Lunchtime Class, Sally will be leading along with Tyson if he returns. They are both Level 1 CrossFit Certified Instructors. They will post the workouts either the night before or the morning of the workout and your Schedule will be a bit different. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. As you noticed, some people have decided that CrossFit isnt for them, and that's perfectly fine, like I said last class: Its not for everyone. But stick with it and you will see changes and results. Not just on a physcial level, but a mental level. You will form bonds within the community that are stronger than you will ever become. Stay motivated!

For Today: I will be gone, I have an airport run to make, sadly. So Sally will be there today for you. The workout is:

5 Rounds For time:
Run 400 Meters
15 Overhead Squats

If you cant run for medical reasons, wheel out the rower and do that for 500 meters. If youre rowing for meters its a bit different than rowing for calories. Set the damper somewhat low (4) and keep the pulls strong and the returns quick for a high turnover. Basically keep that wheel spinning. Best of luck to you all! See you when I get back!


Evening Class: I should be back in time for the evening class: In the VERY RARE case that I am not the workout is 100 Burpees for time. (Lets Hope I am there)

Today is my last day with Chelsea, so in honor of the occasion, there is an Actualy workout named "Chelsea" Its Every minute on the minute perform 5 Pull Ups, 10 Pushups 15 Squats....for 30 minutes. Well, because of time constraints and the fact that that much squats this early may cause EXTREME discomfort and honestly its a little unsafe, we will only be doing 15 minutes.

"Half-Pint Chelsea"
E.M.O.T.M
5 Jumping Pullups- Work on kipping if you want
10 Pushups
15 Squats
Rest about 10 minutes
then 3 sets of 10 burpees as fast as possible. Rest 2 minutes between each.

Then Handstand Practice.

How's It going to work for you all when I am gone? You will follow the same regimen that the Lunch class has. They will be posted the night before or day off. You guys may be left without a trainer, but the workouts are straightforward and basic, I am relying on you all to form up and meet for this...When I get back, be ready. A new group of people will be rolling in on the first of September! If anyone has any questions, give me a call at 327-301-1346. I am on call 24-7! See you all very soon, Ill be posting pictures!

Fran-Tastic! Today, you have the pleasure (or misfortune) of meeting one of my favorite CrossFit "Girls" Her name is Fran and she is, quite possibly the worst woman you will ever meet. I have had several encounters with her, the last of which was 2 minutes and 30 seconds of absolute agony and misery. After we exchanged greeting, she left me in a sweaty heap in the corner of the gym.

It looks very simple on paper. 21-15-9 reps of this couplet: Thrusters and pullups. Hell even the word "Couplet" is kinda cute. But looks can be deceiving. This workout is meant to be an all out gasser that should make the lungs feel as if they are on fire. Zac, Alyson and I will be there to make sure that with the intensity being up so high, the form stay within the 80 percent acceptable range. We dont want any injuries. Pullups will be regular, jumping or kipping. What ever way you can get your chin over the bar.

This workout will definitely test your mental strength, but in order for that to happen, you MUST push yourself to your absolute limits.

WOD: Fran
21-15-9
Thrusters
Pullups

Rx'd weight for men is 95lbs, women 65lbs. We will scale as necessary.
