“Pull & Press”

 

Teaching kids when they’re still young is the best way to shape their minds.  What does this shirt say?  It’s OKAY to lift weird heavy stuff over your head!

4 rounds of:

15 pullups

8 HEAVY Jerks

By heavy, we mean HEAVY!!! No going unbroken for all 8 reps every time.  Take what you think you want to do, and add another 10-20#’s.  Get some!

“No Juice”

Last week we asked everyone to clean up their weights, etc. after they were done with their WOD.  We wanted to prove that we are doing our part as well, to help keep the gym clean.  After a lot of people did a lot of situps this morning, we broke out some heavy duty disinfectant and a sponge mop and wiped those things down good! No germs exist on those mats anymore.

Teams of 3, stadium style:

400m run

20 calorie row x 3

20 KB swings x 4

20 Situps x 5

400m run

The team runs the first 400m together.  Then the teams move through each movement one at a time.  One person works while the others rest.  Every team member has to complete the required # of reps and rounds at each movement before moving on. (IE: each member rows 20 cals 3 times).  The final run is done as a team, and the time ends when the last member crosses through the finish line.

Stations:

90 seconds of work, 30 seconds rest at each station for 2 rounds at that station.  Then move on to the next station and repeat.  Go through all stations.  Once you’ve completed 2 rounds at each station, move through one more time spending only 60 seconds at each station for 1 round each.

“Minutes”

Dear Hybrid Members,

We strive to keep our gym clean and tidy for you guys, mopping at least half of the gym every day, keeping bathrooms stocked, blowing dirt out of the gym on a constant basis.  We ask that you PLEASE clean up the equipment you use after you are done with it.  The above setup was left out last night.  Rowers strewn about, weights still on the bar, even a warmup PVC Pipe left out.  Put weights back in the right stacks, put barbells in the corner, rowers stand up by the poles.  You know where you got the stuff from, it should be back there when you leave.  We understand that you’re usually tired right after the WOD, but after you’ve cooled down a little, please clean up after yourself.  It seems to be a growing concern of the training staff that some people see us as maids that will clean up your stuff when you’re done.  We’re not.  We have much better things to do after a class is complete.  So PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE take a few minutes and clean up your stuff when you’re done.  Thanks!

1 minute of Double Unders

1 minute of KB Swings

1 minute of Situps

1 minute of T-Drill Pushups

Rest 2 minutes, Repeat for 3 total rounds

“Late Monday”

After being put through the gauntlet of this past Saturday, some visitors from CA and France talk with Tim about the gym and other facts of the Crossfit Lifestyle.  They should have been joining in on the mini football game going on in the background!!!

Don’t forget that tonight, at 6pm, we’re having a company come in that provides paleo cuisines at great prices.  They will be bringing meals for people to try.  Stop in and check them out.

This Wednesday, Hybrid is making the big-time! Fox is coming in to do a segment on the gym.  They will be in for the 9:15 and 10am classes, so if you can make it in, do so! We want to have a great representation of all the people that come into the gym.

10-1 Pullups

10-1 Weighted Standups

Complete your pullups, then walk of shame 50 ft to complete the standups.  Walk of shame back to the pullup bar to start the next round.

What is CrossFit Strongman?

“Large Loads, Long Distance, Quickly.”  That remark is drilled into the mind of anyone who’s ever attended a Level 1 certification.  There is no better expression of that than moving a yoke that is 3x BWT across a football field in 30 seconds or carrying 1.25x BWT in EACH HAND the same distance in less than 30 seconds or flipping a 700 pound tire for max reps in 60 seconds.  They all equate “Large Loads, Long Distance, Quickly”.  This is the main premise behind why we do CrossFit Strongman. 

  • CrossFit Strongman is the integration of strongman movement/energy systems into the constantly varied CrossfFit model.  (That means “Old School” movements with “New School” programming”).
  • The typical Strongman event consists of 5 workouts in one day.  Each workout is less than 60 seconds, so we never tap into anything but the ATP/CP system.  Consider what would happen if you trained yourself to have that kind of output during a longer workout!  For example, a 7 minute AMRAP of farmer’s carry mixed with gymnastics.  This is a perfect expression of “Old School” movements mixed with “New School” programming”.   The results are staggering.
  • This is the best, and most fun, way to increase strength while still increasing work capacity across broad time and modal domains.  In CrossFit, we want a stimulus that is constantly varied so that we never stop progressing in our fitness.  This is an optimal situation that is true whether you’re a CrossFit Games hopeful or someone looking to get fit after a lifetime of being sedentary.
  • Strongman movements provide a playground where athletes can test and improve their brute strength while helping their overall fitness level.
  • Because of the often awkward size/shape/consistency of the objects we use in strongman the lifts tend to have less efficiency than with a barbell.
  • Case in point: a water-filled keg.  This represents a dynamic load that challenges the neuro-muscular system in a way that a barbell cannot compete with.  For this reason, as athletes, we need to develop efficient movement patterns with inefficient loads.  That response is at the heart of being a great athlete.
  • Athletes are presented with a constantly changing field of play and a better athlete makes quicker adjustments and responds more favorably to an unfavorable stimuli.
