Don't forget about the dumbbells. Barbells are so much fun we often forget about the dumbbell. Dumbbells offer their own inherent challenges, a little less load of course but none the less a great exercise. Instability in more planes than a barbell, for example, as well as the ability to work only one side. This is also a real plus if an athlete has an injured shoulder or arm. Besides, single dumbbell work is just plain fun. The dumbbell snatch is no exception.

(compare to 8.17.10)

Mobility Monday-Going Overhead:
Today at 5:30 & 6:30PM we'll cover ways to increase range of motion when going overhead. The goal will be to work the shoulders and ribs to increase range of motion, strengthen the overhead position when lifting, and prevent injury. Bring questions or concerns if you have them!

A Note from Sam D:
I just wanted you to know that as of March 18th I am a 2nd Lieutenant in the Marine Corps! All of the work that I did at KOP definitley helped me make it through OCS in regards to physical fitness and mental toughness. So, I just wanted to drop you a quick line to thank you! I hope all is well, and if I get home over the next 6 months (I am rolling right into the Basic School) I will definitely stop by to work out, which should be interesting cause I am not nearly in as good shape as I was when I left (OCS saps the strength right out of you). All the best, Sam

Run 5K

(3.1 Miles)

Running coach Pappas will be running the 9AM/10AM classes.

Coach Pappas Note:

The idea of the WOD is to get an early season fitness test and set a time for the popular "5k-fun runs" which you may choose to participate in throughout the season. I will lead the run which is a simple out and back, and place a cone at the turn around point. Everyone will start and end at the 400m mark. This does not have to be a race for everybody, but feel free to test your ability and see how you do, afterall, it is the WOD. I will fall back at certain times to make sure all are on track and hanging in there. Typically this will take you from 25-40min depending on the wind you suck in!

Community Reminder:
We are offering FREE Vinyasa Yoga with Tori tomorrow, Sunday, 3/27 at 12:00PM.

Vinyasa hatha practice is a more athletic sequence of yoga postures that are linked by vinyasas. The vinyasas demand more cardiovascular work from the body and the postures are stacked promoting strength in all muscle groups. This form of yoga practice also increases focus, propioceptive awareness (body-in-space) and is a geat method for training the "athlete's mind". In this particular class, we will focus on strengthening the core, opening the hip flexors and working stabilizer muscles from the feet up. Prior power yoga or flow yoga experience is encouraged but not necessary. Bring a mat, a towel, an open mind and a willingness to sweat.

Happy Birthday Liz & Kimberly!!!
Liz is one of the oldest members at the gym going back to our FAC days. She has gotten stronger every day and has turned into quite an amazing athlete and one of the few women in the box who can scale the 8' wall. You can often find her rocking her double unders as they are, "the one thing I got!" You have a LOT more Lizzie...keep up the good work!

Kimberly is new to the scene but has made significant gains QUICKLY and she has not been afraid to show her strength! She is always eager to learn and has been a great addition to the KoP community. She is also the co-creator of those fantabulastic salmon balls at Donkey's party.

Enjoy your day ladies!

Thanks to all the participants in the Maltz Challenge this year!!!

The Maltz Challenge

· 400 meter run
· 50 pull ups
· 100m fireman's carry or 200 meter farmer's walk with 50#/25# dumbbells
· 50 dips
· 100 push ups
· 50 knees to elbows

On March 23, 2003, Master Sergeant Michael Maltz, a U.S. Air Force PJ (Para-rescue) was killed in action in a helicopter crash along with 5 of his brother PJ's while attempting a rescue mission of injured/sick children in the mountains of Afghanistan. MSGT Maltz is the late brother of Derrick Maltz, Special Agent in Charge of SOD. According to those who were close to him, MSGT Maltz possessed an enormous amount of strength and stamina. Bearing this in mind, a workout was specifically developed that would be particularly challenging in honor of him. The 4th Annual MALTZ CHALLENGE is being held today by DEA Offices around the world in honor of MSGT Maltz and others who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our country, we at CrossFit King of Prussia will honor Master Sergeant Michael Maltz by completing this WOD in his honor. According to those who were close to him, MSGT Maltz possessed an enormous amount of strength and stamina. Bearing this in mind, a workout was specifically developed that would be particularly challenging in honor of him.

The 2011 Honorees are:

USMC LCPL-Justin D. McLeese , 11-13-2004 - Iraq
US Army PFC-Matthew E. Wildes, 08-27-2009 - Afghanistan

Mobility Monday:

Hips and Quads: Much of the work in CrossFit, and in life, involves the hips and quads. This Monday we'll work on hip flexibility with some out-of-the-ordinary stretches and work on our quads with rollers, PVC pipe or balls to loosen and "un-stick" the muscles. For the athletes participating in the Open Sectionals, many of the movements you can probably expect to see are quad-dominant, so be sure to maximize your performance with rolling and stretching!

Mobility Classes at 5:30 and 6:30PM

Community Notes:
Congratulations to Steph V, Vinny & Eric who all completed the CrossFit Level 1 Certification at CrossFit KoP this weekend! Stay tuned for details on the next Level 1 which KoP will host-June 18/19th!

****UPDATE*****
Going forward for April, May, June, July... (as long as interest merits)
Each month I will run the intro session after the monthly open gym class(1st Thursday of each month), starting at 7pm. This class will be mandatory for the workshop series and we will cover the fundamental principles and background information that you will need to understand so that the drills/skills classes are effective. The following 3 weeks of the month on Wednesday evening will be skills and drills classes, you can attend 2 of the 3 classes that are offered - giving some flexibility on dates. When we do the sign up for the next month if Wednesday is not an ideal day for those interested, we can look at other options based on schedules.

For the March session, I will add a 4th class and we will follow the same idea as what is listed above, but on a compressed schedule. So the first class on 3/16 will be mandatory and will be covering the fundamentals. I will add a 4th class the week of the 28th - once we get commitment from the individuals that are interested I'll do my best to accommodate the day that works for most people.


Okay CrossFit KOP - It's time to listen up- The following is a note from Running Coach Pappas!

Spring is right around the corner so as the days get longer and the weather warms, many of you athletes are realizing it's about that time to get their run back on. The earlier the better is that time to get tuned up on your running form, so you can condition your legs and lungs to process more oxygen during the many more upcoming running workouts that will be programmed. In my mind, there IS NO better lung capacity/cardiovascular building workout then doing sprints and interval training runs- and as much as some people hate that, it's what your body systems need to better your body as a whole, and keep those systems optimally operating. Your form along with injury prevention should be important to you, and if your dedicated enough to make some changes, I can assure you it's worth it for the long and short run.

This workshop series helps you run with less injury and be more efficient in your stride.

The objective of the workshops is to teach you the proper techniques based on the most efficient method for energy transfer, and forward movement, and to eliminate injuries and maximize more of a natural potential.

Utilizing better posture which is what CrossFit is all about, and knowledge from my combined on the track experience and Crossfit Endurance Pose Running Certification this workshop will teach you the tools needed to run with proper form.

These techniques enable athletes of all levels to perform at their best and to reduce stress and impact on the body.

Main Points we will touch on,
Improve your running technique-

* Prevent "overuse" injuries
* Move with less effort
* Learn ideal running position – “Figure 4”
* Run with gravity, not against it

The 3 session package (cost $50) is what we are offering. This is 3 separate 1 hour sessions, including a workout that will boost endurance, instructional time in each class, and the additional form assessment.

Times/Dates:
3/16 6:30pm
3/21 7:30pm
3/24 6:30pm

*These times and dates could vary based on interest and athlete availability.
