Every Minute on the Minute for 18 minutes Minute 1 - 5 Deadlifts at 75% of today's 3rm Minute 2 - 7 Box Jumps 30/24 Minute 3 - 9 Pull Ups
  Notes: The Deadlift: We want you staying in contact while lowering the bar, don't drop from the top. Don't bounce either, they aren't bounce-lifts. The workout: Try not to eat it on the Box Jumps. It's easy to forget what you are doing in the middle of a box jump. Stick with a height you are comfortable with. This workout isn't meant to be grueling. If you are doing the open: Stay light and conservative on the deadlift - I don't care if you are going to PR on a 3rm, chill out so you don't smoke your CNS.[/accordion_item][accordion_item title="Tuesday 3.1.16" parent_id="" id="" class="" style=""]Tuesday 3.1.16 A. 15 minutes to establish Push Jerk Heavy 2 B. Lipson 21-15-9 Back Squat 185/135 American Kettle bell Swings 55/35 10 minute time cap Score is time - if you hit the cap, add 1 second per rep that was remaining in your wod to the cap, that is your time.
  Notes: Push Jerk: Stick to the technique  "Lipson": Bar is pulled from the floor - so don't even ask. If you can squat 405, but you can only pull 95 from the floor...you are using 95. Try to scale so that you finish within the time cap. If you are in the CrossFit Open: you can go after the push jerk, stay conservative in your weights for the wod, 35-45% of your max[/accordion_item][accordion_item title="Wednesday 3.2.16" parent_id="" id="" class="" style=""]Wednesday 3.2.16 A. 15 minutes to work up to a heavy 10 on turkish get ups, alternating arm.  (5 right, 5 left) B. Tabata, 1 minute rest between Row Cal Ball Slams 40/30 Double Unders No Push Up Burpees Score: total repetitions
  Notes: TGU: Keep them smooth and alternate arms. You don't have to hit 10's all the way up, work your way up hitting left arm right arm for a bit, then get after the 10 reps. For instance I may hit 25x4, 40x2, 55x2, 60x2, 70x10 ,<--you can use DB or KB. Wod: This is a full 8 rounds at each, resting a minute between, then moving onto the next. If you are doing the open: Go ahead and get after this one.[/accordion_item][accordion_item title="Thursday 3.3.16" parent_id="" id="" class="" style=""]Thursday 3.3.16 A. Teams of 3 24 minute amrap 8 sandbag power cleans 60 yard shoulder sandbag shuttle 8 sandbag zercher squats 60 yard sandbag zercher carry -Weight is 80/60 for the Sandbag Work Score is total rounds performed.
  Notes: For the workout: Get after the rounds with some quickness, you'll get a 1:2 work to rest on this one. You'll finish the entire round, then trade off to your partner. The 60 yard shuttle is a 5-10-15 shuttle. If you are in the open: stay lighter on the sandbags with this - and don't tear your hands up.[/accordion_item][accordion_item title="Friday 3.4.16" parent_id="" id="" class="" style=""]Friday 3.4.16 A. Accumulate around 5-10 reps of each Dip Dip Shrug Elbows High Muscle Clean Front Squat to Power Position Scarecrow Cleans Tall Power Clean Mid Thigh Power Clean Below Knee Power Clean Floor Power Clean B. 20 minutes to establish a heavy 10 on a Reverse Front Rack lunge C. 10 Rounds, teams of two - alternating rounds 5 Clean and Jerks 155/105 10 Toes to Bar
  Notes: For the FRRL: Each step backwards is a rep. The Workout: Keep the reps clean, and don't tear your hands to bits on the TTB. Open Competitor? You should be doing some active rest, or doing some mobility waiting to come in for tonights Friday Night Lights.[/accordion_item][accordion_item title="Saturday 3.5.16" parent_id="" id="" class="" style=""]Saturday 3.5.16 A. Handstand Push Up Kipping Practice B. Every 2 minutes, for 20 minutes (10 sets): Snatch x 1 rep Suggested loading per set (by %): 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 90+, 95, 95+ C. Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 6 minutes of: 6 Snatches (155/105 lbs) 30 Double-Unders
  Notes: Keep the Snatch technically sound - don't get nuts and start putting weight over your head that look like shit. Work position then speed. Using up to 70% of today's heavy single is a decent place to look for the workout. If you are doing the open: Again, this is programmed for the people NOT doing the open, so use your brain and don't kill yourself. This workout isn't too terrible as much as volume is concerned though.[/accordion_item][accordion_item title="Sunday 3.6.16" parent_id="" id="" class="" style=""]Sunday 3.6.16 A. 20 minute of muscle up practice B. Four rounds for max reps of: 60 seconds of Kettlebell Swings (32/24 kg) Rest 60 seconds 60 seconds of Push-Ups Rest 60 seconds 60 seconds of Box Jump-Overs (24″/20″) Rest 60 seconds 60 seconds of Push Press (115/75 lbs) Rest 60 seconds
  Notes: Perform in teams of two, one partner working for the full 60 seconds, then resting and supporting their teammate for 60 seconds. Track scores either individually or as a team.[/accordion_item][/accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row]

So thank you very much to all of the team leaders for keeping your athletes in check, and all of my judges for helping out the whole night! So, lets get after a few things. PRIZE: we had a random drawing for a prize that night! Lauren B. You won a Rogue Gift Card! Tell me what email to send it to :D SPIRIT AWARD: Neri's Team Won the Spirit Award! Nice job Neri.

Details about tonights Friday Night Lights

By: 0

A few things about tonights Friday Night Lights schedule everyone. Everyone is welcome, come in and watch! yell at everyone, cheer them on. We want everyone coming in! Also, if anyone wants to come in and volunteer, post to comments, any help would be greatly appreciated. THE WOD AND DETAILS Familiarize yourself very well with the specifics of the workout by clicking here and finding 16.1 SCHEDULE Remember, the skill and gaming portion of this is at 4:15, that ends at 5:15 The wod arrival time to get sorted into heats and begin the warm up, begins at 5:15pm. This will run until we finish, we can fit around 6 or so in each heat, so if you have a very small window to perform this workout in tonight or are under a time crunch, get in early, and stay on point. It looks like we have around 29-35 doing the wod tonight, that makes roughly 6 heats, with a 20 minute wod, and a 5-8 minute reset time for each, that makes a run time of 2 hours and 45 minutes. Here are the other Validation times in case you cannot make it to any other time OTHER VALIDATION TIMES Here are the other validation times for you to come in to get your wod judged. It’s important to note that you must come in on time for these, having people trickle in through the hour is a pain in the ass. So for instance, if I have 6 people wanting to get validated at 12:00pm, you ALL show up at 12:00pm, warm up, and we run 2 heats. Friday: 12:00pm, 5:15pm (Friday Night Lights Event) Saturday: 12:00pm Sunday: 11:00am Monday: 5:30am, 12:00pm, 4:15pm

Hey All, It looks like this "blizzard warning" is in effect until 10pm tonight, around that time I am going to make a decision on whether or not the morning classes, and which ones, are closed. Just keep an eye on the blog when you go to sleep, or when you wake up BEFORE you start driving into class - I will make a post as well as put a banner up top stating which classes are closed.
