Rest - Skill - Make up day...

For those of you who have been CrossFitting' awhile I wanted to hip you to some lifting shoes. Hard, rubber soled, are the all around best. No squish, and just enough padding for box jumps. Assuming you step off the box rather than jump. Check out the link for a good article about which shoes are the best.

What are the best shoes for Squats & Deadlifts?

Picture: Ron - Thrusters in runners...

Core and push!

It's been a tough couple of days people. How are your knees holding up? One more and we get some rest! Let's give it all we got today!!!

WOD:

What are your goals?

Someone in the morning class asked me today, "What are we supposed to be getting from this stuff anyway, besides sore muscles..." That's a good question. My answer off the top of my head was, "Well, hopefully you're getting stronger, faster, healthier, more coordinated, overall more 'fit' then when you started..." Now, I could've rambled off a whole bunch of sh*t about the 10 general physical skills, and how the way to get from 'sickness' to 'wellness' is 'fitness, but I didn't. It really got me thinking though. So, I have to ask all of you, "Why are you CrossFit?" I'm CrossFit because I found it and it's changed my life. I love it. I love the fact that I will be strong and fit for the rest of my life. That's what this is guys and gals. This is for life! The changes that happen to your body are a side effect. I want you all to have a better quality of life! To be 'well' and not 'sick'. To do things you never thought you could because you weren't strong enough, or fast enough, or agile enough. I want you to say to your coworkers when they complain about how hard work is today, "Hard, you have no idea what the Filthy Fifty is like." CrossFit will change you. Physically and mentally, but you'll only get out of it what you put in. Just like your body or your car...you can't put in junk and expect it to run well...

So, what matters most is what YOU want. And what you want to get from CrossFit. I want all of you to think about that and post to comments. Think of your fitness goals and put them up here for all of us to see. We can help you achieve them, but we have to know what they are. And if YOU don't know what they are perhaps it's time to figure that out.

I told someone yesterday that I want to deadlift 400lbs. If I can do that...I will be happy. Well, as happy as I can be until I can pick up 420lbs. anyway...

Let's move some weight

Happy Monday everybody! Thanks for everyone who brought kettle bells and dumb bells out to the park on Saturday. We had a fun workout with them! Here it is:

Team WOD:

5 people to a team. As Many Rounds As Possible in 15 minutes of the following excercises:

Squats
Push-ups
KB Swings
Run 400m
Rest

Here's how it works: Team member one takes off running, while he/she is running each of the other team members are performing one of the excercises. When TM1 returns, they go to rest. Rest goes to Squats, Squats to Push-ups, Push-ups to KB Swings, KB Swings to Run. The idea is to perform as many reps as possible while the runner is out. Upon the runners return each team member states the number of reps complete of the given excercise to the next teammate. Example: TM1 completes 37 push-ups, when TM2 takes over they will start counting at 38...39...and so on. The score is the total number of all reps of all exercises complete in the 15 minutes. Sounds easy no?

Monday's WOD:

Complete as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:
95 pound Thruster, 5 reps
95 pound Hang Powercleans, 7 reps
95 pound Sumo Deadlift High-pull, 10 reps

Picture: Thanks to Ron for helping us out yesterday to get the Pull-up bar supported. It took a full day, but will be well worth it when the wall doesn't come crashing down. We're going to be some kippin' fools!

***Don't forget about the Park WOD tomorrow morning!!! 8 AM sharp!!! It's going to be fun!!!

Rest day

Today is a Rest/Skill day. For those of you who have been going hard the last three, a day of rest is recommended. At CrossFit, we also have what we call 'active rest' this can be light walking to hiking, playing your favorite sport, moving furniture around the house...whatever. We would like to encourage you to get out and do stuff! Try something you've never tried before, run a whole 5k without stopping. Run a 5k in the river bottom...something that you wouldn't have tried before CrossFit. You might surprise yourself. For those of you who missed a WOD this week or just can't get enough ;) We'll be there for both classes today. Come on down and practice snatching with a barbell for 30 minutes, or muscle-up progressions. It'll be fun!
