CONDITIONING for Monday 11/23/2020
GANON
AMRAP in 15:00
12 one-arm deadlift
9 one-arm hang power clean
6 one-arm shoulder-to-overhead
Alternate sides each round. This is basically a one-armed DT for 15:00, rather than with a heavy barbell. Since we can’t control what the loading is, the As Many Reps As Possible format works best to challenge everyone accordingly. Focus on the proper technique for each, staying as square as possible to not fire off the back during the deadlifts and cleans, and to ensure good shoulder mechanics in the s2o. If you can get through a set unbroken, do so, and take your breaks during the switching of sides.

READ: Dr. Justin Tausig – Finding Productivity in Chaos – HUMBLED
Podcast description:
We are getting conflicting messages regarding productivity in this time of chaos. Some are telling us to learn new skills, master sourdough making, and take online courses. Others are encouraging us to take it easy, watch a movie, do less. For athletes, who were mentally prepared to be working hard and staying focused before competitive seasons and training plans were derailed, the path forward is uncertain. Dr. Justin Tausig, a former pro fencer turned sports and performance psychologist, is encouraging athletes to stay productive during this crisis. Focus on what you can do, rather than what you can’t, and do at least one productive thing a day.

CONDITIONING for Champagne Friday 11/20/2020
EXPELLIARMUS
10 rounds for time:
8 goblet squats
8 handstand/hand-release pushups
Do whichever version of the push you have. If you have any handstand pushups, try to do the first handful of reps (no more than three attempts) each round before turning them into hand-release. If you don’t have any HSPU then do T-pushups. Eight reps per movement shouldn’t be too hard, but localized fatigue in the shoulders and legs will occur so rest to recharge before going again.
25:00 time cap. Post times to comments.
It’s Friday- hit the work day hard, hit your workout harder, then hit that relaxation for the weekend the hardest.

It’s so important that we support all our favorite small and local businesses so we can all get through the winter together. Spend early if you can so they can pay their employees and their bills. We can’t thank you enough for your support through the years and plan to be here as long as we can- as we all know working on our fitness and health isn’t something that’s as easy or doable without a community.
The link above takes you do a fill form to email your officials to help the national fitness communities that are so important to so many of us.
In our Zoom classes you’ll see WTD (weighted) and unWTD (unweighted aka bodyweight) listed. This informs you and the other athletes if you need something handy nearby- a kettlebell, a dumbbell, a medicine ball, a weighted backpack, bottle of tequila, etc. You can expect movements like this:
While preferred you can always use a weight to make bodyweight classes more difficult, and if you find yourself in a situation where you do not have any loading but can only attend a WTD class then just show up! You can do more challenging bodyweight movements by changing leverage or by increasing volume. This means a normal pushup could potentially become something more complex like this:
CONDITIONING for Thursday 11/19/2020
LEVICORPUS
21-15-9 reps for time:
burpee box jumps
power cleans
weighted step-ups
Find a height that allows you to pop up immediately after getting upright from the burpee. Power cleans ideally would be heavy (we imagined a 61/43/29kg barbell), and the weighted step-ups would occur with your standard CFOpen weights of 50/25/10lbs to the same thing you were jumping onto. 20:00 time cap.
