WOD

Hey guys! I’ll be back in more of the classes this week! I’ll be in Tue/Wed AM and Friday night, more like my usual schedule with all you fine people. 12 Days out of surgery and I feel as Mr. Wallace says “pretty f*^&ing far from OK” but I’m not all that bad 🙂 I should get the cast off Wednesday, and then we’ll get to see what the damage actually is.

Schedule things coming down the pipe: We’re gonna be closed Labor Day (Monday the 2nd), just a heads up for your planning.

Workouts!

Monday: Back Squat 1RM, use 1-3 spotters and we have safety gear. USE IT. Dan.

Tuesday: Can you beat 13 minutes? For Time: Row 500/400m, 21 Power Snatches 75/55, Run 400m, 21 Power Snatches 75/55, Run 400m, 21 Power Snatches 75/55, 500/400m Row

Wednesday: 3RM Weighted Ring Row, 1RM Ring Dip/Bar Dip

Thursday: “Holleyman” 30 Rounds For Time: 5 Wall Ball Shots (20/14 lb), 3 Handstand Push-Ups, 1 Power Clean (225/155 lb)

Friday: “Arnie” For Time: 21 Turkish Get-Ups, Right Arm, 50 Kettlebell Swings, 21 Overhead Squats, Left Arm, 50 Kettlebell Swings, 21 Overhead Squats, Right Arm, 50 Kettlebell Swings, 21 Turkish Get-Ups, Left Arm, Use a single Kettlebell (2/1.5 pood)

Saturday: “Other Total” Clean, Bench Press and Overhead Squat TEAM: Budget 90 minutes for this class, with that said: our typical heavy day tempo simply won’t work.

Be prepared for your coach to limit your lifts, and make you go up faster than you’d like to. It’s not supposed to take 30 minutes for each lift to build up slowly in 20lb increments. It also isn’t supposed to be your true 1 Rep Max on all three lifts. Warm-up, Practice and train the clean, then clean for 20 minutes, get out the benches, lay down and get going, about 25 minutes for the bench. Then put all that away and adjust for overhead squats, do a few pass-throughs on the PVC, practice the behind neck jerk, talk dropping from the top, then get into it! 20 minutes of that and trust me when I say it’ll be a 90 minute class! Lift big, be safe, have fun!

Big thanks for all the well wishing and support that you guys gave me last week, it really helped. Can’t thank you enough!

This week I’ll be taking it really easy and I hope to be able to do more next week. Big thanks to Eileen, Kayla, and Rachael for scrambling to cover classes for me!! If I haven’t seen you, I got hurt last Tuesday, had surgery on Wednesday to fix my collar bone and elbow, and am doing pretty good thanks to my lovely wife. Here’s to finishing August strong!

Workouts:

Monday: Mary
Tuesday: Deadlift Max 3
Wednesday: Push Press x5 with Double Unders in between
Thursday: 6 Rounds for Time: 8 Burpees, 8 Wallball Shots 20-10/14-9, 8 Knees to Elbows
Friday: Ring Muscle-Up Day, or Max Dip day too
Saturday: Row/L-Sit, minute by minute, rotate for 20 minutes

Sorry for not posting more guys, it’s late, long week. If you haven’t been paying attention to the Games, it’s been uniquely terrible this year. Look it up.

I’ll be back in the gym Tuesday AM, happy to be home and happy to be with you all again.
Bests,
Jesse

Don’t worry about the workouts, bring your rope climbing stuff on Wednesday!

Big Week guys! It’s the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS of Crossfit. Yeah the olympics is going on, which is awesome, but this is our thing! Reps for time, distance, and heavy weights! It’s a mix of the Olympics. That’s the best way to see what these athletes this next week will put out there for the world to watch, how close can they be to EVERY Olympian, not quite like a decathlete, but like an omni-lete. Maybe I just coined a new term! Look for me in the background (where I belong) helping these athletes showcase their abilities. Super honored to be a part of this event, it’s always very cool, and very nerve-wracking 🙂 So thanks for making my job easy!

Remember guys! Sunday the 28th is the Rowing event! Those on the extra list are set up for the 12:30pm heat. I hope you’re in town and ready to have a good time rowing, eating and hanging out! The purple section on the whiteboard is for you guys to sign up to bring what you’ve picked. You’ll notice that there will be something: for example: “Pickles.” If you’re good to bring pickles, write your name after “pickles” and that claims it so everyone knows that you’re bringing pickles and we don’t have 5 people bringing pickles. With me? Should be awesome 🙂
