SPLIT SQUAT: Setting up, you should have the height you are placing your back foot to at just below your kneecap. place the other foot 3 paces away from the object so that when you lunge down, your front shin is vertical, and if mobility allows - your back knee touches the ground - here is a picture 2 seconds down, 0 seconds at the bottom, smooth on the way up, 1 second at the top.

[Notes:] Pull Ups - Leave a little in the tank for each set of pull ups, don't go to absolute failure. We would prefer everyone performed a vertical pull on this day, so bands are allowed - but under control. Wod: Person 1 Farmer Carries, then hops on the rower - using the rower timer to control the 60s As soon as Person 1 is finished with the Farmers Carry, person 2 may start their farmers carry/row round As soon as Person 2 is finished with the Farmers Carry, person 3 may start their farmers carry/row round Continue in this fashion until everyone has went through 3 times. If weather permits, farmers walk 50 yards out and 50 yards back outside If its "yucky" outside, perform 5 x 10 yards out, 10 yards back inside ROW: I want the row to be consistent each time. If you hit 20 calories the first time, no more than a deviation of 1 each time. Reset the rower before you get on it each  time - no building on others calories FARMERS WALK: Go hard, but not so hard that you'll have to set them down in the first full round.  [/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title="Wednesday 5.11.16" open="false"]Wednesday 5.11.16 A. 5 Minute amrap 5 Wall Balls 15 Double Unders 5 Sit Ups rest 3:00 5 Minute amrap 10 Russian Kettlebell Swings 100 Yard Shuttle (10 Yards out and back x 5) rest 3:00 5 Minute amrap 5 Wall Balls 15 Double Unders 5 Sit Ups rest 3:00 5 Minute amrap 10 Russian Kettlebell Swings 100 Yard Shuttle (10 Yards out and back x 5) [Notes:] Wallball, Doubles, Sit ups: Throughout this amrap, the sets are low enough where you should never have to break a set - choose an appropriate weight for the wall ball so that you DO NOT HAVE TO BREAK SETS. Choose an appropriate pace that you should be able to take no more than 2-3 big breathes between rounds. When I say 80-90%, and its an aerobic workout, thats 80-90% of the aerobic system. So I want sweat, breathing, but not stopping on account of muscle fatigue. KBS Shuttle: Same thing, choose an appropriate weight that ensures you do not break, and a pace you can keep consistently throughout each round. Consistency: If you hit 85 reps in the first 5 min and 75 reps (each shuttle counting as 1 rep) in the second then your 3rd and 4th amrap which are repeated should be 85 and 75, plus or minus maybe 2-3 reps for fumbling.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title="Thursday 5.12.16" open="false"]Thursday 5.12.16 A.

So try to show up on time for class – if you miss some of the warm up you might be SOL for this workout. Pacing: This is all performed at 80-90% effort…meaning I want consistent scores throughout each matching piece. So that should play into your weight selection. If you’ll notice, We’ve been prescribing Rx’d weights less and less – because you are all individuals and differ greatly, think of the intent of getting the correct stimulus the RX’d on these workouts. for instance I should see… 1: 31 reps, 30 reps, 30 reps, 29 reps 2: 31 reps, 30 reps, 29 reps, 28 reps Keep the rounds close     Pull Ups: I want round cycling, so if you cannot cycle 3 pull ups, its jumping pull up day today for you - and I understand the stimulus is different with the amount of knee flexion/extension involved in the jumping pull ups, just try to make it as much of a pull as you can.

A.  Snatch - 3-position snatch (one snatch from floor, one snatch from above the knee, one snatch from the hip) - 5x1 - increase 5-10# from 4/25 B.  Front squat - 5x3@70% of 1RM FS C.  14min EMOM - 0dd=5DL @ 50% of 1RM DL, even=7 strict hanging knee raises   **This week should look familiar! It's the second round of the linear progression. If you missed week 1 and don't have a number to go off of, you're starting at 65% of the snatch and FS. Be smart with the 5-10# increase. Only increase by 10# if your max lift is >200#. The lifts will be getting heavier, the conditioning will be getting harder, and you guys will be getting stronger. Yay!

Our general Classes are great for the Health, Longevity, and Performance of the group, as we program to the trends we notice within our group of CrossFitters - but you can only get so individualized in a group setting. The Skills for life program is an attempt to bridge the gap between general preparatory CrossFit Classes and a more specific stimulus that an individual wants/needs without having to move to full on individual training. This could be anything up to and including Developing Pull Ups / Handstand Push Ups Better conditioning in 4 minute workouts, 10 minute workouts Faster 2k Row Supplementary Strength Work for one specific lift Olympic Weightlifting Technique Mobility etc.  [/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title="What does it include?" open="false"]This Program Includes: -Program design directed at one specific concept, skill, or strength development. The time and amount programmed is dependent on your lifestyle  - the range is dependent on the goals of the individual, this is typically discussed during the initial meeting. -Consultation regarding testing and assessment for this movement every training block - this could be anywhere from 8-12 weeks -Skill Specific Programming for one movement,energy system, etc -Access to our personal training software: The Skill Specific Programming will be sent via a separate Personal Training Software -an open gym membership to perform the programming -20% off of any one on one Nutrition Coaching Package[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title="How does it work?" open="false"]If you would like to sign up for the Skills for Life Program -
  1. Fill out the form below.

  3. Once you've had your Program Consultation - we will then add the plan to your CrossFit South Bend Membership on that date if you would like to continue forward.
During the Programming Consultation, we will hash out the details of what you want to work on, why, what your schedule looks like (make sure to read the email you receive once you fill out the form below.) This way we can set some realistic goals throughout the year. Once we get a good idea during that meeting of what you'd like to accomplish, we can schedule your first Skill Session and Talk about possible testers if we need them to complete your programming. Your programming will then be sent to you through a separate Personal Training software which will then be collaborated on by you and the Coach.

You cannot have the Skills for Life program without a CrossFit Membership. This is also for a single movement or energy system -  this is dependent on what you are able to work on in your time frame - and how extensive those goals are in relation to where you currently sit. Remember, it has to be specific - not "get stronger in everything" For example: Get a muscle up, or 10 consecutive muscle ups Row a faster 2k Increase mobility for the overhead squat Get a faster fran time etc. If you want FULL program design, that is a completely different and far more extensive service that includes Consultation Assessment Testing Full Program Design for multiple concepts and goals Check ins with reprogramming, adjustments to program, occasional form tweaks and instruction.
