3 x 5 bench press @ 85% 1RM
3 x 5 weighted pull ups
then Tabata Row for calories
count total calories rowed for score

consistency

As funny as that video is, it perfectly demonstrates the importance of consistency. After watching the video we now know that he does not lift very heavy on a consistent basis if at all. Consistency is the most important factor in progress. Sometimes it may seem like we just did a certain exercise not too long ago and there is definitely something to be gained from variety. However variety must take a back seat to consistency when training.

Workout: AMRAP 20 minutes

10 - weighted lunges
12 - wall balls
01 - rope climb
14 - abmat sit ups

happy place, the sequel

Sometimes you find your Happy Place mid wod, other times it’s not until the workout is over when you can envision nirvana. Well upon 2nd look Craig may just be delirious.

that hurt

Stephen C. was has always been a hard charger and somehow he seems to keep improving. It doesn’t matter what the WOD he attacks it with aggression and pushes everyone around him.

then
3 sets of max rep pull ups
(dead hang preferred)

Friday Gone Bad

Not just the workout. For some reason I can’t find the photos I uploaded to post them for the workout. I’ll give it another shot in the morning at the gym.

Great job everybody.

Workout: for total reps

“Tabata- Fight Gone Bad”

Do a full 8 rounds of Tabata intervals before moving onto the next exercise.

A Game

Mitzi P. goes way back in CrossFit, we actually attended the same Certification Seminar 5 years ago. You would think that she would at least slow down a little. Even when battling through injuries she is always putting forth her very best and insipring those around her.

Workout: 5 x 3 weighted dips
then
using a weight 85% of your 1RM clean, do 2 power cleans on the minute for 15 minutes

swinging

Sometimes the most undaunting exercises can become a complete mess when coupled together. The 6pm class enjoying the benefits of not so random couplets.

then
5 rounds of 15 KBS/30 double unders

too easy

I know it’s his first day back and all, but if Hector can smile during the whole WOD then we must be going to easy on him.

Workout:
On the minute for 15 minutes complete 1 round of the sequence

1 - push jerk from behind the head
2 - OHS
3 - C2B pull ups

That’s fast

He hides it really well most of the time but apparently Craig can row so fast he becomes transparent. I also heard a rumor that he is so fast he can dodge rain drops.

Workout:

5 x 3 back squats
then
8 - 40 yard sprints
(sprint 40 then walk back to the starting point and repeat until all 8 sprints arecompleted)
