WOD 7/1/09

Posted in Daily WOD's on June 30, 2009 by crossfitcenturion

Front Squat 3-3-3-1-1-1

Rest 5-10 Min

AMRAP 12 Min.

20  Swings

20 Wall Ball

20 Lateral Jump Overs

OK, so you have ME Front Squats up front, working up to singles. From there, rest and go into the MetCon. You will be doing swings, Wall ball, and lateral jump overs. Set up a parallete or soft hurdle and jump over it, from side to side, for a 20 count. Pull, push, extend, do it again….

“Compound Fracture”

500m Row

21 Deadlifts

21 Push Press

500m Row

15 Deadlifts

15 Push Press

500m Row

 9 Deadlifts

9 Push Press

I made this one up the other night and test drove it. It was a lot of fun! ;)

Deadlifts and Push Press will be scaled to about 60% of your 1 RM to keep the pace and intensity high. If you are a firebreather, you can scale up a tad (75% 1RM). Because of the Push/Pull movements in this WOD, this is meant to be done with a rower for maximum benefit. If you have absolutely no access to a rower, then you can run. You should be aiming for around  15- 20 minutes in this WOD.

Allison said the Monday classes went really well although some folks didn’t make it, so now is the time to redeem yourselves, unless you are injured or sick. Consistency is a major key to providing you with results, so if you are inconsistent because you don’t like the particular workout,  the group, or think the instructor is too hard, then you are only shortchanging yourself. The progression to elite fitness is mechanical competency, consistency, then intensity. Stay true to your goals, stay committed and work hard – the end result will be worth it.

While you are all grinding away at the WOD I will still be in super-duper Eureka, Ca. with the folks, trying to stay warm. It’s sunny, but cold. That and it seems nothing has changed here since I grew up and left town….

3-2-1…GO!

Tabata Something Else

Pull Ups

Push Ups

Sit Ups

Squats

- 8 Intervals of each movement consisting of 20 seconds of work (max reps) & 10 seconds of rest.  Record your reps and add them all together at the end for a total score.

So, do as many reps as possible in 20 seconds, rest for 10, go again, rest, go again, etc. for a total of 8 times per exercise. You must finish the entire exercise intervals before moving onto the next one. There is only 10 seconds of rest between sets and exercises, so don’t dilly dally around. The total time for this WOD is 16 minutes.  This is one of my favorites, so make me proud while I am away!

Get some!

WOD 6/26/09

Posted in Daily WOD's on June 26, 2009 by crossfitcenturion

4 Rounds

500m Row

20 Single Arm DB Overhead Squats (10 per side) (35/25)

15 Box Jumps

Here’s a treat! We have been working the rower as our skill of the week, so this will be another bit of direct application of the rower to the WOD. Row then grab a DB in one hand and extend it overhead in a locked out, fully active shoulder position. You may wish to extend the other arm out in front of you as a counter balance. Get a solid squat position and use your good “ass back and down” form. Keep the weight solidly on the rear of the feet. You may turn or shift a tad to one side as you drive up, just make sure you keep the heels down. Do 10 reps on one side, then switch arms and do the other side. The Alley Cat will go over the OH DB Squat with everyone to make sure they are dialed in prior to the WOD.

Then do some box jumps and go again! I want to keep the intensity high, so adjust accordingly with either weight or the rounds. I would like you to aim Stretching out is a requirement after this WOD (and pretty much every WOD), so grab a band and/or a roller and hit the deck to work out the hips, quads, glutes, hams and other stiff spots with some static and PNF stretches.

3-2-1…GO!

WOD 6/25/09

3-3-3-1-1-1 Back Squat

Rest 5-10 Min

6 Rounds

300m Row

200m Sprint

Oh boy, this should be a treat! ME work on the front end, then rest. Then hit up the MetCon portion. Your legs will be loving you and hating me.

3-2-1….GO!

WOD 6/24/09

Posted in Daily WOD's on June 23, 2009 by crossfitcenturion

1 consecutive Pull Up on the minute for as long as possible.

Rest 

2 consecutive Push Ups on the minute for as long as possible.

Rest

4 Consecutive squats on the minute for as long as possible.

 

This should be interesting. So, you will do 1 Pull up the first minute, then rest the remainder of the time. 2 Pull ups the next minute and rest the remainder. 3 Pull ups the next and so on until you can no longer do all your prescribed pull ups in 60 seconds. Rest a few minutes and do the same with Push ups, this time in multiples of 2. Rest a few more then hit air squats in multiples of 4. Keep the rest cycles short – 3-5 minutes. This may take a  little bit of time, so plan accordingly. This will be our oxidative body weight WOD for the week.

Let’s see how this pans out. GO!

WOD 6/23/09

Posted in Daily WOD's on June 22, 2009 by crossfitcenturion

7×3 Deadlifts

Rest 5-10 Min.

2 Rounds

100m Sprint

30 Burpees

200m Sprint

30 Swings (55/35)

100m Sprint

30 Sit Ups

ME work in the form of Deadlifts. Then rest and go into the MetCon. It should be short, but hard! If burpees are a bear for you and suck up too much time, do squat-thrusts instead (a burpee with no push up). AbMat sit ups if you are normal, GHD’s if you are a firebreather.
