Foundation Barbell Club
OLYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTING: This January cycle continues on our pulling sequencing- but we’ll start each session with squatting! Overhead strength development and isometric midline work to complete each day! Anyone want another Friday or Saturday morning Barbell class?
POWERLIFTING: We’re starting the first phase of the year. We’ll be back onto our high-volume in squats, bench, and deads for thickening your joints and practicing good range and form.
The start of every year we have most people going in with a ton of resolutions that never get actually addressed.
Here are some random notes we have for 2020: – Continue looking at the blog for relevant gym content. We will have a post every day: find the workout of the day, the ideal post-workout plan, informational and educational posts that may or may not contain hints of what the future holds in the gym, and more, featuring you, our incredible community. – Our next FOUNDATIONS On-Ramp begins this Tuesday 1/14 and ends on 2/8. The next program after won’t be until March (3/3 to 3/28). Tell your friends or send them here. – We’re beginning Week 7 of 8 with our Strict Pullup Ladder. We plan to continue this with just raw numbers, applied to any “high skill” you want to work on: more pullups, muscle-ups, handstand pushups, handstand walking, single leg squats, toes-to-bars, double unders, etc. We will share the numbers on the blog so that you can continue your practice at home/elsewhere. Rather than a static MWF split, we’ll just go every other day so that you can experience a more dense volume of practice more often. – When you see a prescription (ex: 61/43/29kg, 20/14/10lbs to 10/9/9′, 2×50/35/20lbs) see it as Advanced/Intermediate/Novice as far as “CrossFit” standards are concerned. As CrossFit HQ had way back in the day there was no scaling for any gender- you just loaded appropriately to your skill level. Competitive CrossFit standards kind of changed that. If you’re not competitive there numbers are mere suggestions. – We have plans for a Nutrition Challenge coming up by February. – Current programming should be reflecting what a lot of people are getting into outside of the gym: SNOW SPORTS! We’ll be focusing on leg and hip stamina for all the skiiers, snowboarders, and hikers! Not to mention tons of midline and rotational work in the warm up phases of classes. – Team Workouts have been eliminated from Saturdays for the time being. They’ll be back in a different capacity (and day!) in February. As always, at any time, you can turn any workout into a team workout. – Foundation Barbell classes are back with our two tracks of development: Powerlifting (the slow lifts of squats, presses, and deadlifts) and Olympic Weightlifting (the fast lifts of the snatch, clean, and jerk). We will program towards peaking for local competition. Any member with a CrossFit has access to these classes and can take them for skill development. If the competitions interest you then you can stick primarily with these classes for better specificity.
CrossFit WOD for Sunday 1/4/2020
5 rounds for time: 200m run 12 push/press, 52/38/25kg
It all starts at 12:00pm for just over an hour so show up early to finish out the paper work and get a tour of our space.
You will get a taste of how we run our ongoing CrossFit classes:
We will get the heart rate going, get your internal temperature warmed up, and prepare the body for the activity about to occur
We will cover the standards of the movements we plan to use in our workouts
THEN WE WORKOUT! Hopefully it’ll be a brand new take on what you think of fitness. If not, hopefully we can demonstrate the type of intensity we look for, regardless of experience or fitness level.
High fives and data collection (Oooooh!)
Then we’ll end it with a group picture and a cool down: some gentle movement and stretching before we get you on your way.. hopefully to brunch!

The end of a rowing stroke is the same as the basics of olympic weightlifting: pushing through the feet extend the legs and hips with a rigid torso to then finish with the shoulders.
The top limit of our pullup standard at FCF is ‘chin higher than hands’. Note how even scaling pullups to ring rows we can accomplish this range of motion for every rep.
We have a BRING-A-FRIEND CrossFit class this Saturday at noon. RSVP!
BINGO Cards are due by the end of next Monday.

Maia and Kyle working some bell-held single-arm kettlebell Z-presses
There are standard movements with equipment in the CrossFit world at the moment. If you’re given a Dynamax medicine ball you assume you’ll be doing wall ball. A pair of dumbbells/kettlebells? Probably some variation of cleans. Low rings? Dips. Boxes? Good ol’ vanilla box jumps.
Today’s goal is to get weird and try some different movement patterns and standards than usual.

Barbell Club
We’ve been in a weird Holiday schedule the past week, and we’ll have some funky timing this week as well. If possible, let’s use a 2:00 EMOM to establish a heavy double snatch and a heavy double clean!
Powerlifters you get a gimme: max out load on one lift, max out reps on another. If you choose one for lower-body, the other has to be an upper-body lift and visa versa.
