Happy Birthday Kathleen!!!
(yes, Kathleen, not Maureen or Christine)

W.O.D. 7.28.10

Working in teams of three, AMRAP in 5 minutes of the following:

30m Prowler Sprints 90#/45#

Deadlifts 135#/95#

Wall Ball 20#/14# (to 10 ft target)

Double Unders

Coaching Tips: Scale load and movements to match your current fitness level. You will spend 5 minutes at each station trying to amass maximum repetitions. One person works at a time and you will stay 5 minutes at each station before rotating to the next exercise. This is a high volume workload workout, so utilize a smart strategy to economize the workload between all team members.

The muscle snatch mimics the upper body movement during the third pull of the snatch. Perform a snatch without squatting to receive the bar: continue pulling the bar overhead, finishing in a standing position. The final movement does involve a push up on the bar. The lift is legitimate as long as the elbows never drop from their elevated position before pressing up.

W.O.D. 7.20.10

This workout runs every minute on the minute for 30 minutes. Start with one rep of each movement on the first minute, then add one rep every minute thereafter.


Example:

Minute One: 1 Sumo Deadlift High Pull, 1 Med Ball Clean*
Minute Two: 2 Sumo Deadlift High Pull, 2 Med Ball Clean*
Minute Three: 3 Sumo Deadlift High Pull, 3 Med Ball Clean*
Minute Four: 4 Sumo Deadlift High Pull, 4 Med Ball Clean* etc ...

Continue as long as you can adding one rep to each movement until you "miss" - until you can no longer complete all the reps within one minute. At that point you re-start on the next minute, beginning at one rep and adding up again. Your total number of reps is your final score for this WOD.

*Weight for the Med ball (14#/20) and SumoDeadlift High Pull (65#/95#).

The Home Depot Center in LA...site of this years CrossFit Games

W.O.D. 7.17.10

In the spirit of the CrossFit Games, one of last years Affiliate Team WODs.

A Team WOD:

30 Wallballs (20lbs/14lbs)
Row 300m
30 Box jumps (24")
30 KB swings (24kg/16kg)
30 DB Push press / Push jerk (40lbs/25lb)
30 Deadlifts (225lbs/135lbs)

Rules:
We will select teams based on class size...
1. The wallballs are performed one athlete at a time. When all "four" athletes (in the CF Games there were two men and two women) have completed the wallballs, they move on together as a team.
2. The middle four drills are then performed together in "Annie R U Ok?" format, meaning all four team members start at different stations at the same time. They rotate in the order listed once all four athletes have completed the rowing and reps. When all four athletes have completed all four drills, they move together to the deadlifts.
3. The barbell will be pre-loaded with 225lbs. Both men will perform 30 deadlifts each, and then the team will be responsible for removing 90lbs. Both women will then perform 30 deadlifts each, and the clock stops.
4. There was a 20min cap on this workout at the CF Games, but we will make it 30 minutes to insure all can finish in the allotted time. Scaling will be allowed for our WOD based on set standard by your coach.

We get by with a little help from our Friends!
What helps you get though a WOD, a friend? significant other? Music-your favorite song? A coach screaming in your face? The thought of some else beating you? Certain words you have heard before? Let us know?

W.O.D. 7.16.10

Back Squat
3-3-3-3-3

and

Death by Ten Meters
Run 10 meters the first minute. 20 the second, 30 the third, etc. If you cannot complete the required distance for that round, then rest a full minute and start working the ladder back down until you reach 20 minutes total.

TABATA CRAZY
Air Squat
Box Jump
Sit up
Kettle Bell Swing (35#/55#)

Skill:
L-sit

What is a Tabata anyway:
For twenty seconds do as many reps of the assigned exercise as you can - then rest 10 seconds. Repeat this seven more times for a total of 8 intervals, 4 minutes total exercise. The score is the least number of reps for any of the eight intervals.

Scoring Example:
A total score of 56 is determined by adding up the lowest number of reps in any set of each exercise. For Example-
18 squats
10 box jumps
13 sit-up
15 kettlebell swings

Schedule Reminder:
There will be no CF Kids class today. The regular 6AM and 12Noon sessions are going on.

I think that's what makes the CrossFit Community different is that it's not just a workout. It's that effort. It's the way that people pursue it and the way that people will support one another through it. I think this makes a very, very different community than from other people out there." -- Games competitor and CrossFit Park City (UT) owner Chris Spealler.
