W.O.D.10.1.13

4:30 gets WARMED up with Tim!

Row 2,000 meters

After every minute of rowing (on the rower, not the class timer), get off the rower and do 10 hang power snatches (95/65#).

Coaches Notes:

Your score will be the total number of Hang Power Snatches and total total time.

For example 100, 14:10.

To preserve the stimulus of the workout the Hang Power Snatch should be a weight you can string 10 reps of in the initial rounds.

Community Reminders/Events:

This weekend the Misty Knoll farm is welcoming us for a farm tour at 10AM on Saturday, 10/5. Click here for more details.

Good luck to all the CFKoP athletes competing the Hook Grip Classic hosted by the Liberty Barbell Club this weekend at CrossFit Center City...Keith, Faby, Gene, Jim C, Justin H and Kate K... Head out to cheer them on if you have time!

WHAT TO EXPECT:

W.O.D.9.25.13

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. So in minute one your score will be (2) in minute two your score will be (4) = overall score 6 if you were to complete two minutes of work. Its recommended that you keep track of this on a paper or counting device.

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

compare to (4.12.12) (1.21.11) and (7.20.10)

A 9.11. CFKoP original commemorative Team WOD

(teams of 2 athletes will work to complete the work load, one athlete working at a time)

Bear Crawl 500 feet total (down and back 5 times)

100 Step-ups (45#/25#)

100 Sumo Deadlift High Pulls (75#/55#)

100 Step-ups (45#/25#)

Bear Crawl 500 feet total (down and back 5 times)

Buddy Carry 200 feet total (carry down and back twice)

This workout is intended to honor and remind us of the bravery that a firefighter or other hero may have demonstrated on that horrific day. The bear crawls remind us that we may not always be able to walk tall into any situation but that should not deter us from the end goal of helping someone in need. The step-ups remind us of the endless flights of stairs that many brave souls endured in order to help others in need. The sumo deadlift high-pulls remind us of the rubble that needed to be removed in order to save the life of a complete stranger. Finally, the buddy carry will remind us that we are all in this together and that life is the greatest of gifts and it is the only thing worth dying for.

We would like to thank every person that gave their life in service on 9-11-01 and every member of the armed services that continue to fight for our freedoms and safety to this day.

Words will never be enough! Thank you.
