Nathan and Guillaume mobilizing prior to lifting

Mobilizing trouble spots prior to lifting is another way to stay successful in the gym. If your rack, receiving, and/or overhead positions leave something to be desired then it would benefit you greatly in spending two minutes or more before class working into those tissues.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

This Friday , September 1st, there is no 6:30pm Olympic Weightlifting class. There will be a 7:30pm Olympic Weightlifting class. Please remember to RSVP.

Just kidding- let’s talk about Houston and how you can help!

Imagine the difference you could make if we all would just skip that one coffee/beer/wine/kombucha and help out those in need.

CrossFit WOD for Monday 8/28

5 rounds for total reps of:
1:00 of box jumps, 24/20″
1:00 of wall ball, 20/14# to 10/9′
1:00 of calories rowed
1:00 rest

Post total reps completed to whiteboard/comments!

NOTES

Don’t ditch out on this workout- GO FAST! It’s easy to game this workout so make this a guns-blazing workout. Go hard the first round and hold on to dear life for the rest of it. Loading is light so it’s okay- recovery will go fine for most. Calves might be an issue for some, but only when they push it.

Olympic Weightlifting WOD

power snatch + snatch, clean + clean & jerk
