Week of 10/22 through 10/28

HBD TONY!

This photo is from October 12th, 2008 at FCF 1.0 when Tony and I were both about 135lbs and cherry-picking all the bodyweight CrossFit workouts.

Also Dave took 3rd Place at the Brute vs Beauty Beatdown 2018 at CrossFit Chateau!

PROGRAMMING

Going to try something new this week. Feedback is appreciated! Remember: whatever is on the whiteboard on the gym is the FINAL version of the workout of the day.

Monday 10/22

for time:
50 deadlifts, 84/59kg
50 box jumps, 24/20″
50 pullups
50 calorie row
50 tuck-ups

Do bigger sets, but try to use weights that you cannot do more than sets of 10 in unless at Rx loading. Be smart and prepare your hands for this work, whether shaving your calluses down or wearing protective wraps/tape/gloves/etc.

Post time to comments!

Tuesday 10/23

21-15-9-15-21 reps for time:
power snatch, 34/25kg
overhead squats, 34/25kg

* 35 double unders after each set

Be able to get into a groove with proper mechanics with high-cycling. Snatches are power dependent, OHS are mobility and stability dependent. High-skill cardio between rounds for practice.

Post time to whiteboard!

Wednesday 10/24

PILCHUCK

6 rounds for time:
10 front squats, 102/70kg
24 American kettlebell swings, 32/24kg
14 burpee box jump overs, 24/20″

It’s been four years since tragedy struck on the Marysville-Plichuck High School campus and we run this workout to remember the lives lost and to bring awareness for continued emotional support to the students and staff at MPHS. This is going to be hard.

Post time to whiteboard. Donate to the MPHS Fitness Facility here.

Thursday 10/25

AMRAP in 20 minutes:
400m run
8 dumbbell front lunges, 2×50/35lbs
12 bar muscle-ups

A classic cardio/weightlifting/bodyweight combo, today is about the muscle-up ability under fatigue. Scaled athletes will work on their respective pulling exercises. Push the pace hard on the run and lunges, then figure out how to further your capacity with the pulling at the end of each round.

Post total reps to whiteboard!

Friday 10/26

CGO 11.4

AMRAP in 10 minutes:
60 bar-facing burpees
30 overhead squat, 55/41kg
10 muscle-ups

If you happened to miss Thursday, you still have a chance at muscle-up practice here. Bar and ring muscle-ups are cool. Also like last week this will be a great retest for those who were here 7 years ago (!!!) and haven’t retested this workout since.

Post score to whiteboard!

Saturday 10/27

You Go, I Go

10 rounds (5 rounds each athlete)
10 calorie row
10 kettlebell swings, 24/16kg

Rest and recover then

10 rounds (5 rounds each athlete)
10 power snatch, 34/20kg
10 air squats

Another Saturday, another Team workout. Do your hips have stamina? Let’s find out.

Post team and both times to whiteboard!

Sunday 10/28

every 3:00 for 21:00 (7 rounds)
7 pullups
7 weighted step-ups
7 pushups

– then –

tabata hollow rock

Interval work and midline burner dessert. Mmmm. Upper body and lower body will be taxed. Hold the weights however you see fit: farmers, rack, goblet, overhead, or some other way.

Post attendance to whiteboard!

RECOMMENDATIONS

I think the Reebok CrossFit Speed TR is the best “budget CrossFit shoe” out there for feet similar to mine. Check out AsManyReviewsAsPossible’s review video above if you haven’t already.

For those who tried mine at the gym the other day:

This is great at-home (or office) option for in bringing circulation and nerve stimulation to specific areas (just lay or stand on it for five minutes then take a walk- it’s so good!). I first heard about it from Tim Ferris and was hooked after I tried it.

Face it, gym gear gets nasty. Use these in your shoes, your gym bag, and your cubby at the gym if you have one (if you don’t have one, sign up on the clipboard in the back there!)

There “recharge” simply in the sun.
