Workout Of the Day (Thursday December 1, 2011)

Technical: 5 x 3 Front Squats
For Time: Five Rounds of:

500 m Row

10 Ball Slams (40/30)

15 Slam Ball Thrusters (40/30)
Stabilization: EMOM 25 situps for 4 minutes

3 Burpees
Details: Holiday BURPEE Challenge is back!!! The holidays come but once a year, it’s a great time for family, friends, and LOTS of holiday eats!  So, what better way to help control the addition of some holiday pounds while bettering your ability to perform the mindless, obnoxious burpee, than to ACTUALLY do them in your off gym days?  Last year was a great success, many people did the complete Burpee Challenge for the whole month, while others would just do it periodically.  Well, the one’s that completed ALL of it started to see decrease WOD times, stronger lungs, legs, and arms! I wonder if there is some kind of correlation?  Hmmm….  Also, if you remember last week, we did burpees as a part of the testing WOD, so let’s make them easier to get better scores for next testing!

 

Here’s the deal, complete the allotted amount of burpees each day… It’s really quite simple, especially with the low numbers.  Once we get in to the higher numbers, break them up however you’d like i.e. on a day of 60 burpees, you don’t have to do them all at once, perhaps do 6 sets of 10 throughout the day.  We will definitely be programming more burpees in the WOD’s to come, so we’ll be able to see who is actually doing them on their own.

 

Happy Training!

Testing scores and results!!!

ALL DONE!!!  We had many people test and give all they thought they had… Guess what, with the exception of a few, you guys still held back a bit more than you realized.  I promise you will be able to challenge yourself more, push yourself harder, and exceed things you never thought possible.  The missing factor?  Motivation!  The point of the “testing” process is many.  To put you hard working athletes in a setting set up similar to that of a competition to help give that extra lil push, to help establish a baseline to monitor and measure success and progress, to help keep my programming in check, also to share in the moment of new numbers and personal bests!

 

Scoring: Points are awarded based on how the person finished the event, if first place for the event, then one point is awarded, if second, then two… Tie break winners for overall points goes to the person with the best finish on any one event.

Technical: 3 x 8 Dead lifts
For Time: Five Rounds of:20 yd Yoke Walks

9 Deadlifts (225/155)

300 m Run
Stabilization: **
Details: Performance week starts tomorrow!  I did make a schedule change for tomorrow night. The 6 pm is now a “testing” block. I am hearing that some people are nervous… Don’t be! It’s JUST working out, plus the baseline data set is NOTHING to be nervous about, we are just seeing where we are under certain conditions and will replicate it three months later.  If the schedule just doesn’t work for you, let me know… We’ll try and make it work!  Open Gym on Friday will be a chance to “make-up” the missed days due to scheduling, but still please sign up!  Open Gym is at it sounds, open! Come in and play around with things you don’t get to work on. 

Also, the Fall Strength Challenge held at CrossFit Level 10 in Oroville went down yesterday!  A TON of great athletes in the area took the task of competing in up to 5 different WOD’s in one afternoon.  We had a great representation from RCF there bringing 12 athletes!  Great job to everyone that competed, it was a long day and the weather was very cold (but at least dry)! Jennie and Lynn both found there way to the podium while Wes got the “Spirit of CrossFit” Award (second time now for this one!)  Nice job everyone, thank you Santos and your volunteers for running a great event!  From RCF were:

KJ Eslick

Jordan Smith

Todd Weygandt

Aaron Johnson

Wes Hutchinson

Audra Dobbs

Jennie McKernan

Lynn Hunter

Amy Slay

Amber Rhoades

Sarah Beverly

Valerie Calhoun (for only the first event, she had Homecoming to go to)
