Strength Day!

Today's workout will be a strength workout.  The movement will be a strict shoulder press.  Remember with the strict shoulder press there is no legs or hips involved.  The bar will be in the front rack position, elbows slightly forward of the bar.  Drive the bar straight up once overhead drive the head straight through until your ear is slightly forward of your arms which will be completly locked overhead. 


STRICT SHOULDER PRESS
              3-3-3-3-3-3

           THE CIRCUIT
          (10 min AMRAP)
20 situps
10 weighted situps (20/10)
  5 burpees

Monday, Feb 21.

"Row, Row, Row Your Boat" (or C2 Rower)


The Circuit:
Work / Rest Intervals of 2 minutes of the Prescribed movement and 1 minute of rest
Row for Calories
Wall Ball Shots (20/16)
Pull ups
Hand Stand Push ups
Sumo Deadlift High Pull(95/65)
Score is total reps plus calories rowed

Post workout Skill- Max time plank hold
(you will estimate your time  before you start, and then try to reach it)

The notion here, is to first challenge your ability to recuperate after a sustained max effort movement. Notice the movements follow a "pull then push..." matrix. This should mean muscle fatigue going into each new movement will be minimized to allow for a higher capacity output.(capacity is always the primary goal) Second, the plank hold is an excellent indicator of overall athletic, or physical intelligence quotient. How well we can communicate, to our bodies, the desired endstate is a result of our ability to translate thought into action, reaction and adjustment. This "skill" portion should challenge the secondary and tertiary muscle groups and bands required of the plank hold. Not to mention, the psychological portion!

Sunday Feb 20th

Amazing Grace: Now with burpees!
"Be sure to stretch your hip flexors first"
 The METCON:
800m Run...
Grace: 30 Clean and Jerks (135/95) for time
5 Burpees on the minute, every minute.
Clock starts when the run starts. When you return from the run (2 laps) begin Grace (30 clean and jerks). At the top of every minute, once you start the Clean and Jerks do 5 Burpees. This is an individual, not team workout.

 How Long can you hold a plank, or a side plank?
Try it and find out. What do your results reveal about the state of your fitness?

Thursday Feb 10th

All out Sprint (Metaphorically Speaking)

A. 10>1 of:
  Power Clean (95/65)
  Knees to Elbows
rest exactly 7 minutes then...
B. 3 rounds of:
15 Air Squats
15 Chest to Ground Push ups
(for extra credit: as many sets unbroken as possible)
record both times:
Each of these metabolic conditioners are short and involve relatively light weight. The mentality should be the same as in a 100m or 200m sprint. Go as hard as possible without having to stop and recover.

Let the week begin...

          It's Monday again everyone.  This week everyone will be issued a survey.  The survey will ask you questions about better class times, types of equipment you would like to see in the gym, movements you love, and we want a little feedback about how we as trainers are doing.  So let the ideas flow and give us your opinions.


 Today's class we will start off with a Overhead Squat clinic.  Let's play around with weights and reps and get comfortable with weight being overhead.  The clinic will be followed by two heats of one of my favorite workouts.

21-15-9
Thrusters (95/65)
Pullups
for time...Enjoy!

WHAT NEXT?

Wednesday February 2nd: 
Four Rounds For Time:
Run 400m
?
Run 400m
?
Run 400m
?
Run 400m
?
 Today's WOD should test your mental and physical capacity. During each 400m run I will post on the board the action to be performed when you come back in.Bars will be laid out with various weights, in case they are needed.Complete every run as fast as possible, come in, do the work, and take off for your next 400m run. You will not know the exercises in advance. Push yourself on every run, the next movement could be easy. Do not pace. This is one of my favorites and since we have a nice day I decided to break it out.
We will take HR before and 1 min after the workout. Post time and HRs

Survey: Hey! You! What do you think?

 Our survey of what class times we could add, equipment we need more of, changes you would like to see, and just your general ideas, will be going around later this week and into next week. We are going to have some changes. More stuff, a second go around at the downstairs pull-up/ high rings project, and some other things we have up our metaphorical sleeve.  Anything you don't want to put on the survey: programming questions, gripes, or concerns. Please talk to either Cody or I.Your input is vital. Here is a pic of the gym now. Lets see how much it changes in the next few months.
Rest up, tomorrow's WOD is a killer. G
