This Saturday, we will be having one big class, 7:30 AM rolling start. Show up at 7:30 am or sometime by 8:00 am. Please sign up online so we know how many of you are coming! Even if it is “full”, we will put you into the class from the waitlist. If you are signed up now and not coming this Saturday, then cancel out. Prepare for a longer workout :)

A. Press: 15 x 1 @ 65% of actual max, one rep every minute on the minute. 40X1 tempo.

Rest 10 minutes after establishing your max.

D. Tabata Pushups for low score. Use new games standard, lifting hands free @ bottom.

Tabata is an interval of 8 rounds, 20 seconds work, 10 seconds rest. Your Tabata score is the least number of push ups you complete in any of the rounds.

Mobility:

4 position prone scorpions; do 30 sec holds ea. side, then 5/5 dynamic switches for all 4 variations:
A. Arm alongside body @ 45 deg
B. Arm alongside body @ 90 deg
C. Arm @ 45 deg above horizontal
D. Arm in scarecrow position (90/90)

Take a look at Adam’s reflection ( the quintessential Hoosier-like story in many ways) on the CrossFit Games and it reminds me of the importance of establishing healthy goals and then sharing it with your friends and family. Healthy goals meaning focusing on doing one’s best and putting out your top performance in a given moment. It doesn’t matter if your goal is the CrossFit Games or a pull up – both deserve your best effort and share it with others to truly take ownership of that goal. It is amazing to me how other people will offer to help and support you if you just let them know where you want to go!

Great work everyone on the 3/5 “Nancy” workout yesterday! I’m seeing collective improvement on OHS technique. Got a ways to go until we all have it nailed down perfectly but I guess that’s why do this stuff? It would be boring if it was easy.

Jenny demonstrates the architectural strength of the human arch…my mind is still blown!
