W.O.D. 10.26.09
Deadlift 101:
We will form teams depending on the amount of athletes at each class, warm up and practice the deadlift with PVC until everyone is "pretty". Each athlete of each team will roll through a 5 rep round at 65 pounds. After everyone has excellent form at 65 pounds, each athlete will perform 3 reps at 95 pounds. We will assume now that everyone is still looking "good" and we will load the bar with 135 pounds; athletes will then come to the bar one at a time and perform ten reps rotating through until each athlete has completed 5 sets of 10 reps each at 135 pounds. Today nothing other than perfect form can be tolerated. Remember painstaking attention to your technique will be amply rewarded for years...We will be "rehabilitating" athletes today, if someone has intractably bad technique they need to be segregated and sent back to the PVC, then 65 pounds, then 95 pounds with great technique before being allowed to return to the group.

At the end of Deadlift 101...if perfect form has been executed you will attempt a new "PERFECT FORM" 3 Rep Max on your Deadlift.

We wanted to say thank you to all the local CrossFitters and the ones who traveled from as far as CrossFit Queens, CrossFit South Brooklyn and CrossFit Exodus to compete in the "Yack in the Box Challenge". We feel that the day was a huge success and a lot of that is directly attributed to you. We would not be where we are today with so many of you and for that, we say thank you. We hope that the "Yack in the Box" games will continue to grow and we hope to see each of you back next year where hopefully more PR's will be set. We are currently working on deciphering all of the results and we will post them for you shortly. We apologize in advance for any names that are misspelled...the board got a little messy by the end of the day.

Aimee, let me know if you need help deciphering. I have a good idea of what things said. Congrats again! It was a awesome day!!

Jen S. said...

I'm super super bummed I missed out on the event :(

It looks like it was an awesome time and I can't believe how packed it was! Aimee - you have a rockin' box! :)

And just in case anyone wanted to know - I broke a PR for my 10K! And it's completely because of Crossfit, seeing as I didn't really train that hard and my longest run was 5 miles before race day.

Clock Time: 54:17
Chip Time: 52:28
Overall Place: 770/5370
Gender Place: 234/3322
Division Place: 71/747
Pace: 8:27

So I'm super stoked!

Kit - didn't get a chance to see you or your dad :( how did you guys do!?

TIM P said...

Jen S- that's a solid cruising pace for 6.2 miles, way to go I hope you liked competing.

Glad to see the weekend was a hit!

Aim/anyone, I've been researching CrossFit Spain online but i thought i'd ask if someone here knows of anyone that would have more information? I'll be in Santander, far north, but have found nothing except for Madrid and maybe Barcelona.

Also, what kind of jump ropes do we use at the box, brand-wise?

Love-Trish

Laura, Tim, Nikki and other endurance athletes

This is an interesting article on glycogen. Most relevant to you is the last paragraph. It reminds me when you guys were eating some bread for long runs; there is also a link at the very end of the article for you.
