Thursday-1SEPT2011

"CrossFit Total"
Back squat, 1 rep
Shoulder Press, 1 rep
Deadlift, 1 rep
You only get three attempts for each exercise.  The link explains how to pick your weights.

If you are not familiar and comfortable with each movement do not attempt a max weight.  Instead focus on practicing the movements repeatedly with a lower weight until it is ingrained in your muscle memory. The second post on the following site explains how to do the movements and has links to a lot of good videos. Check it out. http://www.crossfitbrandx.com/index.php/forums/viewthread/13753/

Focus on keeping the bar directly over your heels at all parts of this movement.   Do not let it come forward as you go down or backwards as you come up.  Your grip should be pretty wide to allow for the flexibility to do this movement well.

Monday-29AUG2011

Five rounds for time of:
185/135 pound Deadlift, 15 reps
15 Toes to bar

scale weight as needed

15 Box jumps, 12-15 inch box

If you struggle with double-unders, cut the number in half and think about spinning the rope faster not jumping higher.  If you cannot do any double-unders, then sub 5 singles for every one double-under.

Shoulder Press 5-5-5-5-5 reps

This is not a push press.  That means you should NOT bend your knees at all.  This is a strict shoulder press.  You will shoulder press significantly less weight than you can push press.  Focus on making the bar travel a straight upward path.  You will be tempted to lean back and compensate with your chest when it gets heavy.  Do NOT give in to the temptation.


You can check out the form here.  NOTE: This guy is a beast!

Rx
With a continuously running clock, do one pull-up and one handstand push-up the first minute, two pull-ups and two handstand push-ups the second minute, three pull-ups and three handstand push-ups the third minute... continuing as long as you are able. When you cannot complete the required number of reps for either exercise, continue only with the other as long as you are able.

Use as many sets in any order each minute as needed.

Post number of minutes successfully completed for each exercise to comments. Their sum is your score.

Thursday-18AUG2011

Run 5k

You can do this outside or inside on a treadmill.  On a treadmill remember that an incline of 1 simulates the resistance of running on pavement and 5k =3.1 miles.

Everyone does Rx today.  Do NOT drop the weight on to your head, neck, or other important body parts.  Use bumper plates so that you can drop the weight to the floor from overhead without any fear of breaking anything.

Tuesday- 9August201

First day of elements at Waipio.  Meet in the Martinez gym parking lot at 8:30 to carpool together or meet us at CF Waipio at 8:50.  Class starts at 9 but you will need to sign some forms and pay beforehand.
Hope to see you there.

Four rounds for time of:
Row 500 meters
Rest 3 minutes

Monday- 8August2011

For time
12 HSPU’s
2 Power Cleans 135/95
10 HSPU’s
4 Power Cleans
8 HSPU’s
6 Power CLeans
6 HSPU’s
8 Power Cleans
4 HSPU’s
10 Power Cleans
2 HSPU’s
12 Power Cleans

This should be a heavy strength day.  Go deeper on HSPU that usual.  Go heavier on your cleans than usual.  If you have to finish with singles, that's okay.  If you can do all the reps straight, you should have done more depth and more weight -unless you are already at Rx, in which case you are a beast! :)

Friday- 5August2011

Three-woman relay
AMRAP 15 minutes
run 1 lap in the gym
push press 75/55#
squats
Post the total number of squats and push press done by the team.

One person starts at each element.  When the runner finishes she tags the push presser and picks up the count.  The push presser rotates to squatting and picks up the squat count from the previous person.  The squatter then runs a lap and repeats the process.

Kekoa Krawl
You will need a partner to do this WOD

3 rounds for time of
Wheelbarrow approximately 35m (in the gym we went from the yellow line on the far side of the gym to the far side of the volleyball net) one partner down then switch people to come back
30 medicine ball situps 12# (link feet and pass the ball between partners on each sit-up.  Both partners do 30 situps even though they only hold the ball 1/2 the time
Run 2 laps with 45# plate.  It doesn't matter how or who carries the weight but both partners must do 2 laps and one 45# plate must be carried with you.  Most groups had one person hold each handle and then run next to each other.

WEDNESDAY-3August2011

Looks like the Kekoa Crossfit Chipper was a huge hit. Thank you to all who contributed.

We will continue creating our own WODS all week.  Be there on time if you want to give input into what we will be doing. Don't worry, they will NOT all be chippers.

Tuesday - 2August2011

Rather than doing the games WODS (which are totally insane) we will be creating our own this week.  Tomorrow's creation will be a group effort. I'll post it once we decide.
