Strength Work 15-20 minutes to establish Front Squat 6.4.2 @ 42X1 rest 3-5 minutes between sets, during that time perform 8 scap pulls with a 3 second pause at the top ***score is weights used   B. Muscle Endurance Work - Volume 5 Rounds 10 Strict Pull Ups 30-50 Double Unders 30s Handstand Hold ***score – total double unders [Notes:] A. Take some time to work up to a heavy 6 for the front squat, you’ll add weight and hit a 4, then again for the 2. Just make sure that first 6 is solid. You’ll notice the tempo has moved up from the last time. B. You can sub ring rows for strict pull ups, but make them hard. For scaled – Double unders will be a 1:1 singles to doubles. If you suck at double unders, just accumulate at 30 and stop there To challenge everyone who has solid double unders or even if you are doing singles – once you hit the 30 mark, if you trip anywhere between the 30 and the 50 mark, that is your score for that round. If you finish 50, that is your score. The continuum of the handstand hold progression can look like this today. Forward Leaning Rest - Toes on Box Handstand - Wall Walk Handstand Hold - Freestanding Handstand Hold [Coaches Notes:] The 6.4.2 should be WORKING SETS, of course this is in context of how much experience you have as well. I want that first 6 to feel like you couldn't have gotten a 7th, and so on through the 4.2.  - On the other end of the spectrum, if you don't have any experience you may want to just use the 6 and 4 to find a moderate 2 for the day. The wods focus is not for time, but just the accumulation of volume in the strict pull ups and double unders, a bit of core work as well. This may feel like "conditioning" for someone who is a stud with pull ups, in that case, the coach will upgrade you to weighted pull ups, or to something a bit more difficult. Try to move through the workout at a smooth pace, if that gives you an indication of what I am looking for.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title="Tuesday 8.16.16" open="false"]Tuesday 8.16.16 A. Strength Work 15-20 minutes to establish Close Grip Bench Press 6.4.2 @ 52X1, rest 3-5 minutes between sets ***score is weight for your sets   B. Strength Work 3 Rounds Romanian Deadlifts 8-12 @ 33X1 Weighted Bench Dips 8-12 @ 30×0 rest 2:00 ***score is weight used C. Conditioning - Anaerobic Lactic Endurance For time 50 Russian KB Swings 25 No Push Up Burpees Sprint 200m [Notes:] A. All of our coaches should know our standards for the CGBP B. Keep a solid back position, unless otherwise stopped by hamstring tension, your RDL should end with your spine parallel to the ground. Weighted Bench Dips – you can do this, you can use boxes, you can put your feet on the ground for assistance, just keep to the tempo – once you break tempo you are done. Remember – the reps, sets, tempo, rest dictates the load – NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. [Coaches Notes:] Parts A and B are some strength work, self explanatory -but for C, this is some Lactic Endurance work. Lets imagine your body has 5 gears I want you in 4th gear with steady RPM's, rather than lactic power which would be gear 4 with high RPM's. Make sense? Some traits associated with this type of training - without oxygen, lactate as fuel source, enduring some pain here but not as much as lactic power, maybe a little brain fog/brain drain to really dig deep and finish it hard, heavy breathing with few transitions. Go at a pace where you feel as though you might have been able to go a smidge faster. I shouldn't see you falling on the ground and rolling around after - I completely understand that you COULD go that fast possibly, but thats the different between training and testing. 85% effort on this one here.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title="Wednesday 8.17.16" open="false"]Wednesday 8.17.16 A. Conditioning - Lactic Power 4 Rounds 60s to perform Plate Push Down 20 yards 5 Ball Slams Plate Push Back 20 yards Sprint in the remaining time. walk 5 minutes between rounds ****rest as long as it takes for you to get your equipment out for part B after A.   B. Conditioning - Light aerobic/recovery 3 Rounds - 3 minute amrap @ 70% 30 Singles 4 Alternating Spiderman with twist 4 Inchworms walk 3 minutes between rounds [Notes:] A. I have a particular setup in mind for this one so that it flows well and you get the correct response, what response you might ask? Think of it this way...I want you to work hard enough in the 60s so that you feel as though you need that 5 minutes of walking to recover before giving it another good effort. Think of a lot of work in a short amount of time, aggression, explosive. This will have more of that "brain fog" after the rounds associated with it on account of the CNS effect of it. Like I said yesterday, this is now gear 4 out of 5 and you are pushing at a high RPM instead of a steady RPM. Lets see if I can explain the flow - You'll start at the south garage door where the turf begins - push 20 yards into the turf, perform 5 fast ball slams, push 20 yards back, then sprint out the remaining time back and forth on the blacktop - all the way out to the 50 and back as many times as you can get it. I'm also going to stop putting in rest/walk when I want you to walk. Because most people sit, instead of walk - and I want you walking during rest. B. The aerobic is shifting back a little on account of the volume increasing on these lactic power days - the rounds and time are going up. So the effort and movement selection is pulling back to something that resembles recovery work a bit more, just breath and move smooth through the light aerobic work. This is definitely sustainable, gear 1 of 5, zone 1, however you want to look at it. Hit quality movement on the spiderman and inchworms - work on your breathing.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title="Thursday 8.18.16" open="false"]Thursday 8.18.16 A. warm up/skill 10-15 minutes coaches choice Snatch warm up!   B. Skill and/or Strength 10 minutes to establish a Hang Power Snatch 2rm take 2-5 minutes MAX to get your weights on the bar, then start part C immediately.   C. Skill and/or Strength Every minute on the minute for 8 minutes 2-3 Hang Power Snatches @ 70-80%   D. Optional Shoulder Circuit if time allows - Supplemental Strength 3 Rounds 15 Front Raises 15 Lateral Raises 15 Rear Delt Raises *perform the sets unbroken, don’t use your body for momentum. [Notes:] B. Keep the HPS heavy but technically sound. C. Stay fast and pretty with these D. Use light weight on these, an unbroken set of 45 without swinging your body and controlling the weight is difficult. [Coaches Notes:] You may not be in a position where you should be loading with the hang power snatch, in that case during the 10 minutes the coach will decide if it will do best to have the athlete hit 3-5 Hang Power Snatches at the 0,2,4,6,8,10 marks during the 10 minute max - at PVC or the bar, working on a specific cue each time. Once you reach a level of competency with the bar or PVC - the coach will decide when you go up in weight, just stay there with the bar and get some practice in for now :) If the 8 minute amrap starts and we back the ranges down to 2-3 for you but decide you still will remain and PVC or the bar, so be it.    [/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title="Friday 8.19.16" open="false"]Friday 8.19.16 A. Strength 3 Rounds Left Arm Single Arm Dumbbell Row 8-12 @ 30X2 rest 30 seconds Right Arm Single Arm Dumbbell Row 8-12 @ 30X2 rest 30s Left Leg Single Leg Step Up 8-12 @ 3101 rest 30s Right Leg Single Leg Step Up 8-12 @ 3101 ***score is weight   B. Plyometric Core work Teams of 2 - 10 minute amrap 5 Forward Facing Right Side Throws to Partner 5 Forward Facing Left Side Throws to Partner 5 Lateral Right Side Throws to Partner 5 Lateral Left Side Throws to Partner 5 Med Ball Sit Up Throws to Partner rest 30s between rounds - make the rounds aggressive. [Notes:] A. keep that final pull at the top end for the full 2 seconds - for the single leg step ups, we want all 8-12 one leg, then switch to the other leg. we have all kinds of crazy criteria for today’s step ups.
  1. finish one side before the other
  2. don’t touch your toe to the ground, only your heel, and you don’t get to bend that leg either
  3. don’t push your knee far over your toe
  4. ideal for us today is crease of the hip above the top of the knee
remember that the tempo and movement dictates the load, not the other way around. If you can’t use weight and keep to the tempo…maybe you need to use bodyweight or change the height of the box? This is also now a superset rather than splitting them apart. B. Intent here is the quality and effort of each individual repetition - not the time it took you to complete it. But that each rep was explosive and looked good. These 5's are 5 for each partner, assuming we are throwing it back and forth.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title="Saturday 8.20.16 - closed for CFFB Seminar!" open="false"]Saturday 8.20.16 - closed for CFFB Seminar!

At the top of the minute for 15 minutes Minute 1: 30 seconds of deficit push ups Minute 2: 30 seconds of Toes To Bar Minute 3: 30 seconds of No Push Up Burpees ***score total repetitions [Notes:] A. you have some heavy 7’s to go off of from the week before last – use those numbers to dial it in. Do the math and understand that if you want to get your sets in, and get appropriate rest, you’ll have to start your first set around the 9 minute mark, work up with some fast sets to your working weight. Thats if you have that prior number to go off of, if you didn’t do the heavy 7’s, just work up within the four sets to find your heavy 6's - I'd prefer these are all heavy sets though. B. For this one, I’d like you to accumulate volume, so if the reps are broken within that 30s mark, thats fine, as long as you are giving it a solid effort. deep on the push ups, break however you'd like to get solid TTB, and nice smooth pace on the NPBP.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title="Tuesday 8.9.16" open="false"]Tuesday 8.9.16 A. 3 Rounds Bulgarian Split Squat x 8 each leg @ 50X1, rest 20-30s between legs Bent Over Barbell Row x 8 @ 50X1 rest appropriately in between exercises ***score your weights for the BSS and Bent Row B.

You have some prior numbers for this the week before last as well, the tempo has changed a little – so it may be a little more difficult. Keep that in mind. B. The sprint is a down back - during the rest we will be having you do either...home base dead bug --> contralateral --> or 4 way dead bugs.

B. 3 minute amrap 5 WallBalls 15 Russian Kettlebell Swings 30 Double Unders rest 3 minutes between [Notes:] A. So, let me explain this the simplest way I can. There are three people Thing 1 Thing 2 Thing 3 Thing 1 has 60 seconds to perform 5 TNG Deadlifts, 10 Box Jumps, and a Max Calorie Row, as soon as Thing 1's 60 seconds is up, Thing 2 starts his 60s round immediately, as soon as Thing 2 finishes his 60 seconds, Thing 3 shoots off for his 60 second round. As soon as Thing 3 is done, you will rest until the 6 minute clock starts over. **You don't have to restart the rower - just roll the calories up. **If you are using different weights - use your brain and as soon as your partner is done - change your plates out for your turn. B. Consistency, move smooth. Notice that its 5 wall balls? thats a good time to challenge yourself with a heavier ball. Something you can still move consistently though.

BS B. Every minute on the minute for 12 minutes Odd minutes – 2-3 Heavy Shoulder to Overhead- pulled from the floor Even minutes – 20s max kipping pull ups ***Score is total number of pull ups [Notes:] A. The tempo has been lengthened for the squats, use your numbers from a couple weeks back as a guideline. Make sure you pack the shoulder for that 2 count on the kelso shrugs and you have a parallel to the floor spine. B. Pull Ups can be kipping, chest to bar if you want, these don’t have to be unbroken – with 20s you can probably only fit in 2 sets though if you are fluid and fast.

B. Stay tight and connected these HPC's C.

Carrie’s Story-What’s life like 1 year after a Whole30?

By: 0

Carrie's Story-What's life like 1 year after a Whole30?-CFSB Wellness Wednesday Almost exactly a year ago we published Carrie's story about her recent experience with her first Whole30. If you didn't originally get a chance to read that, you can check it out here: http://crossfitsouthbend.com/carries-story/ In this video we wanted to see how Carrie was doing health-wise one year after her first Whole30. The headline: she's doing great and she and her family are eating this way the majority of the time while still occasionally having treats for special occasions. Remember, eating healthy is not about doing a 30-day cleanse, diet, or fad and then returning to bad eating habits for the rest of the year, even if it's the Whole30.  Eating healthy is about making a long-term lifestyle change where one chooses to eat healthy food the vast majority of the time while avoiding unhealthy food unless it's a special occasion. Carrie's a great example of that mentality. Congrats on sticking with it Carrie, and keep up the great work!! Are you looking to looking to lose weight, be healthy again, and kick ass at life? Schedule a free 30-min one-on-one nutrition consultation with CFSB Head Nutrition Coach Robby Gustin to see how our nutrition programs can help you achieve those goals.

  3. don’t push your knee far over your toe
  4. ideal for us today is crease of the hip above the top of the knee
remember that the tempo and movement dictates the load, not the other way around. If you can't use weight and keep to the tempo...maybe you need to use bodyweight or change the height of the box? C. If you are a stud on the FLR/plank.

Hey Everyone! Mitch has officially started Phase 2 of the Coaching Process at CFSB. During this "chunking" phase Mitch will lead various sections of the class. They are separated out into 3 parts: Warm Up, Strength, and Conditioning and will be accumulating hours of work in each section. With each section that Mitch goes through, he will have more and more of an active role in coaching, so expect to see him more often and saying more things!   

The New Nutrition Facts Label-What You Need to Know

By: 0

The New Nutrition Facts Label-What You Need to Know-CFSB Wellness Wednesday In this video I talk about the recent changes to the nutrition facts label. While there are a number of changes to the new nutrition facts label, some of which are good but very long overdue, it's still not the most important thing to pay attention on the back of a food. The most important thing to pay attention to on a food label is the ingredient list not the nutrition facts. Another way to put this, which I have emphasized over and over with our Wellness Wednesday videos is that food quality matters far more than food quantity. Food quantity is still important but not nearly as much as food quality. Furthermore, the healthiest foods typically don't have ingredient labels or nutrition facts at all. In my very first Wellness Wednesday video on how to read an ingredient label I said that the ingredient label was far more important from a health perspective than the nutrition facts label. A year later even with the new nutrition facts label I 100% stick by that claim. If you're interested you can watch that very first video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvZFnrZNDYU&index=1&list=PLRX7liyY7_etqqMdnRupipZgxCn-xdTFx
