WOD

Thanks for being awesome 🙂 With any luck it’ll be super nice all week, and you guys can get out and enjoy the great outdoors a little bit. Have fun if you’re traveling for Spring Break!

Hey guys! Please remember to add into your calendars that next week April 1-6th we’re closed for renovations. I know it seems excessive, but it’s really the best way to keep the gym in good repair, clean, and set-up for the smashing we put it through. AND like I said last week, a rest week isn’t the worst thing ever for us. We train really hard. This week is no exception!

Monday: “Diane” 21-15-9 for Time of Deadlifts 225/155, Handstand Push-ups
Tuesday: Snatch 1 Rep Max
Wednesday: Jennifer LCF/TIL as Rx’d: AMRAP in 20 minutes: 10 Pull-Ups, 15 Kettlebell Swings (1.5/1 Pood), 20 Box Jumps (24/20 in)
Thursday: Military Press Max 3, Bent Over Rows 5×10
Friday: Filthier 25’s: Box Jumps 30/24, 6″ Jumping C2B Pull-ups, KB Swings 53/35, OH Walking Lunges 25/15, K2E, Push Press 75/55, Hip+Back Extensions, MedBall Clean Wall Ball Shots 20-10’/14-9′, Burpee Over KB, Double Unders
Saturday: Teams of 4: 400m Run, XX Turkish Get Ups 53/35, XX Ab Mat Sit-ups, Rest, run causes the rotate, max reps otherwise in 16 Minutes.

The Open is over!
Well, there might be a few of you doing the workout Monday morning, but by and large we made it! Congrats if it’s your first one, and bravo if it’s your 14th 🙂 Sad things: no more gymnastics days on Thursdays, it’ll be an actual workout (yay!!). Happy things: no more crazy schedule stuff (Friday’s are back on!), and silly rules about where to stand when 3,2,1… GO! happens, and less stress about no-reps and what’s in the workout 🙂 I sincerely hope you enjoyed the last 3 weeks though. It’s a great time to refocus, see where you stack up, take a workout a little bit more seriously, and think about recovery in a way that helps. Personally I’m reaffirmed that my life-long quest to deal with Thrusters is worthy, I hope you have something similar that you feel convicted of, and hopefully there’s some light amidst all this: good example of this is Tim (from Lynnwood) getting his LIFETIME first pull-up, and then getting like 6 more! So cool 🙂

Spring Break!
Remember April 1-6 the gyms will be closed. We’ve been doing this for some years now, and it’s really a wonderful thing: the gym needs to be cleaned (obvs) but more importantly it’s a time to go through things with a fine toothed comb and get them back to where they should be. My punch list is never ending, and you all might not really see the difference, but I do 🙂 Enjoy the week off, hopefully you’ve already got plans and are happily going camping or somewhere more exotic. If you’re worried about getting out of shape in a week, all I can say is DONT. We smash you guys 50 weeks a year, several hundred workouts, give yourself a little credit and more grace, and recognize that a week off here and there is probably a really good thing (Kim, don’t let Synnove read that last sentence) and be ready to get in the 8th of April ready to rock 🙂

Saturday TDB

Here we go guys 🙂 There’s gonna be a pattern to the weekly fitness foray for the next three weeks. So be it 🙂 On the bright side, I think it’ll make this period the most useful it can be, and allow for lots of PR’s along with the definite ability to SMASH Friday’s session. Your job is to do like you always do and be good CrossFitters, and get your sleep, eat your protein, drink your water (with electrolytes), and watch whatever movies make you fired up for life and ready to crush.

Remember: big workout Friday night at Lynnwood (no Edmonds classes), everyone will be there, running heats until we’ve all finished the thing. Details put out each week Thursday night because that’s when we find out about the workout 🙂

Monday:Fran

Tuesday: Clean Max 2

Wednesday: Max Rounds in 20 Minutes of: 24 Box Jump Overs 24/20, 12 Hang Clean and Push Jerk 115/75, 400m Run
