Workout of the Day 8.19.16

Friday 8.19.16

CrossFit Golf
The objective of “CrossFit Golf” is to complete the WOD in the fewest possible number of sets. For example, if the WOD contains 10 Pull Ups and it takes you 5,3, and 2 reps complete the 10, then your score would be 3. This WOD is not for time so you may rest in between sets. Perform the following 9 movements in the fewest possible number of sets. Par for the course = 32
Movements can be done in any order, but you have to finish a movement completely before moving on to another. Rest as needed between sets. If you can do all the reps for a movement in one set = hole in 1!

30 Snatches 95/65 (Par 5)
30 Dips (Par 4)
30 Pull ups (par 3)
50 back squats 95/65 (Par 4)
50 wall ball (par 4)
30 hang power cleans 95/65 (par 4)
100 double unders (par 3)
3:00 plank time (par 3)
2:00 handstand hold time (par 4)

Workout of the Day 8.15.16

Monday 8.15.16

We will be spending time today working on proper body position during our beat (kipping) swing. Lots of you are getting to the point where you want to use kipping pullups in workouts consistently, so let’s make sure we’re doing it right!
Accumulate 1:30 hollow hold, 1:30 superman (5:00 cap)

Practice beat swing
— Correct positioning — superman & hollow hold
— As swing gets bigger, keep core tight, feet & legs stuck together
— Push away with lats, allow chest to push through
— Can try some kipping pull ups but don’t allow midline to break!

For Time:
15-12-9-6-3
Handstand Push Ups   (Scaled — DB Push Press or standard pushups)
Sit Ups
Front Squat 135/95   95/65

If you feel solid on standard pushups but handstand pushups still feel super tough, use the Dumbbell Push Press option to scale today. This will help you build your vertical pressing strength, while also improving shoulder stability.

Workout of the Day 8.11.16

Test Week, Day #4 — 8.11.16

Find 3RM Bench Press

When it gets heavy, make sure you have a spotter!

1 minute Max Sit Up test

Use the ab mat. If you have experience with the GHD, you can do this on the GHD instead.

Choose(at least) one of the following based on what you missed earlier in the week:
1 minute Airdyne Sprint for calories
Tabata Row
2k Row time trial
Helen

Workout of the Day 8.10.16

Test Week, Day #3 — Wednesday

Find 3RM Back Squat

Keep the core tight and don’t let your knees collapse in. It only counts if you get the hip crease at or below parallel (or as close as you are able).

1 Minute Max Pull Ups

Scale as necessary, but be sure to note if you used bands or ring rows in your results.

Tabata Row — 8 rounds of :20 on, :10 off. Score is total calories

Give these 8 rounds everything you’ve got, but don’t throw your rowing technique out the window! Big, strong pulls. Drive through your heels. Back straight and strong.
