W.O.D. 7.22.11

Congratulations to Keith and Sharon who now have Kipping Pull-ups!
Nick C. waving his DB in the air!!


21-15 and 9:
Left-arm Dumbbell snatch, (45#/25#)
Right-arm Dumbbell snatch, (45#/25#)
Pull-ups

Skill:
Snatch Balance
5-5-5-5-5

Coaches Notes:
The Dumbbell snatch should be a full squat. For the Snatch Balance use a light to moderate weight. The snatch balance will require you to initiate the movement with a strong dip and drive, then dive under the bar and move the feet to land in the slightly wider catching stance with the bar overhead—all explosively and in an instant.

Some tips to stay cool and hydrated during the summer heat wave http://laurapappasblog.blogspot.com/2011/07/summer-heat-wave.html

Have a good weekend and make sure you're rehydrating!

Jason Lyons said...

It goes without saying not to be dumb today. A goal of CF is to challenge yourself and push outside of your comfort zone...simply by showing up you are doing just that. Finishing the workout is an accomplishment in itself in this heat so listen to your body and make sure to stay hydrated.

Be safe.

Visited crossfit old town this morning, and they programmer to OHS/DU WOD from Tuesday! I finished in 8:34 (with scaled reps of du to 25) my time at KOP was 10:05. I think airconditioning might be a scale! Since I had extra time I finished the 75 double unders I scaled out taking my finish time to just over 12min. Also did an OHS 1 rep max at 125. I had to spilt jerk to get the weight up from behind my head!!

Jason Lyons said...

in times like these, think of january when you walk in and see your breath!

Kristin T. said...

Awesome job Steph!!

I am raising money for charity by cutting off my mustache on 8/14.

Full details here.

Enjoy it while it lasts...

Cline: how much will it take to get you to not grow it back?

Cline said...

Donkey: Great, now I'm torn between growing it back to spite you and parlaying this into some kind of monthly stipend that will help me continue to live the life I would like to become accustomed to. This is a dilemma.

Sorry to post so late in the day but I seriously worry about anyone working out in this extreme heat. We have talked about heat exhaustion and heat stroke but here are the signs and symptoms of each as a reminder:

Heat Exhaustion:
•Heavy sweating
•Paleness
•Muscle cramps
•Tiredness
•Weakness
•Dizziness
•Headache
•Nausea or vomiting
•Fainting

The skin may be cool and moist. The pulse rate will be fast and weak, and breathing will be fast and shallow. If heat exhaustion is untreated, it may progress to heat stroke. See medical attention if symptoms worsen or last longer than one hour.

Heat Stoke:
•An extremely high body temperature (above 103°F)
•Red, hot, and dry skin (no sweating)
•Rapid, strong pulse
•Throbbing headache
•Dizziness
•Nausea
•Confusion
•Unconsciousness

If you see any of these signs, you may be dealing with a life-threatening emergency. Have someone call for immediate medical assistance while you begin cooling the victim.

So stay extra hydrated in this heat, wet a towel and leave in fridge to cool yourself down post WOD, listen to your body and stop if you are not feeling well.

I went to a box with AC today and it was a pure luxury!! Be safe everyone.

Super impressed with the effort everyone put into this one tonight despite the swamp-like humidity and heat. Terrific form from everyone, and really nice effort on getting into that full squat even at the end. Kudos!
