I swear guys I don’t do it on purpose, but it don’t stop us anyways. We are ready for anything and everything. Nice job today fighting through the mix I mono-structural and gymnastic movements! I love this stuff.

Chipper for rounds

Posted: May 22, 2012 in WODs

3 rounds for time
50 double unders
40 sit ups
30 medball cleans
20 pull ups
10 push ups

What better way to start o the week with a grinder like this! This one forced us to focus on a pace instead of sprinting out of the gate to try and blast the time out of the water. If this was your stay aft then most likely your time was was slow as you broke down over time. Learn from this and apply it to the next one. Everyday we push out limits and learn something new about ourselves. For instance something as simple ad running a 400 in warm up, hard at first but if you try a little harder everyday it will become easy. Nice job on that Edith!

If you all are noticing some changes going on at tbcf you are right! Had a lumber package dropped off and pull up rig delivered! Construction on the new space to start Wednesday! Stay tuned.

Also reminder that we will be closed Thursday after noon and all of Friday and Saturday due to the northwest regionals Roselle and I are competing in to see who’s the fittest in the northwest! If you aren’t busy come on down and support.

THE team wod

Posted: May 19, 2012 in WODs

In teams of two complete the following for time:
50 thrusters 115/75
Run 400m with bar
50 sit ups each
Run 400m with bar
25 push ups each
Run 400 with bar
25 pull ups
*bar can not tough ground on thrusters or on run, 10 burpee penalty each every time
*you are only allowed to rest in the plank position. Any time you come off the bar or rest in a different position 5 burpee penalty.

Today was THE team wod of the year! It was an awesome one…..50 thrusters split between two partners while passing it back and forth to keep it off the ground, running with both partners holding a loaded bar and doing push ups on the bar and keeping it from rolling! Today had everything we’ve never done before. Makes me want to program it again so everyone gets the chance to try it. For now pictures will have to tell ya 1000 words….

A goblet of squats!

Posted: May 17, 2012 in WODs

For time
4 rounds
20 kbs 55/35
30 goblet squats
400 m run
Rest 90

How many squats is a goblet? Mmmmm about 120?!?? This one was a little sneaky in that I’d didn’t look like much on te board but on almost every single persons first goblet squat I head UGH WHAT THE! Haha music to my ears. Good job today!
*note: I’ve got a critical message. I’ve been seeing a little too much wavering in form with some people over stretching to do a little bit more weight. We have to be technically sound to improve and most of all stay healthy so I’m going to be coming down on those that I see going too fast and not focusing on form. Consistent mechanics over intensity, that is proper crossfit.
