Alternate movements with your partner to accumulate as many rounds/reps as possible in 15 minutes. Partner 1 Rows 10 Calories, Partner 2 Rows 10 Calories, Partner 1 performs 30 doubles, Partner 2 performs 30 doubles. You get the idea. Scale accordingly This wod isn't a tester, so try to be consistent from round to round with your partner. coaches will pair you up according to skill level.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title="Wednesday 7.6.16" open="false"]Wednesday 7.6.16 A. Establish a Max Pillar Hold B. Bent Over Row 5rm @ 31X1 C. Sprint Prep 2 Rounds - 10 Yards Each Knee Hug Quad Leg Cradle Straight Leg Kicks Cocky Walks Skips High Knees Butt Kicks D. Alactic Test 2 attempts at 100 Yard Sprint (50 out, 50 back) **rest 5 minutes or as needed between attempts [Notes:] Pillar: exactly what it sounds like, a 45# plate goes under the quads - you touch that baby, you are done. You shoot your hips in the air, you are done. Bent Over Row: We want your torso parallel to the floor like this- so wherever that leaves your barbell to hang (because you are all built differently) thats fine, but we want high hips, tight straight back, controlled tempo - I want the bar IN CONTACT with you for that 1 count. For those of you who cannot perform pull up testing from last week - this gives us a better bearing on some pulling strength. All the sprint stuff: Sprints can be sketchy - so lets start off by saying if you have hamstring issues already - perform a 30s max row for meters. Don't even ask, just do it. Typically an all out effort like this requires a decent warm up hence the simplicity of today's workout. We want to see how everyone is on that high end speed on a short time duration, these are tests, so get after it and we will keep the timing as accurate as possible by counting off as you are running through.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title="Thursday 7.7.16 JORTS DAY" open="false"]Thursday 7.7.16 JORTS DAY - its jorts day, so you may want to wear your worn in jorts for this one. A. Power Snatch/Full Snatch Skill Work, coaches choice - warm up is typically dependent on who is in class B. 20 Minutes to establish a 1rm Power Snatch/Full Snatch **If flexibility/skill allows you may full snatch **Noobs, we will have you hit a 3, but this will more than likely be skill work for you C. Light Running Warm Up D. 2 Rounds 60s Max Effort run for max yards rest 5 minutes between [Notes:] Skill Work and PS: This is the coaches choice for the warm up - and for the max attempt - typically if you have no business loading yet, I'll have you remain at the bar and just hit sets of 3-4 on every even minute working up - you only get to move up if I think it looks pretty. For people who are in between, solid movement but still a little green, hit a 3 (not touch and go either, separate from the bar for each one) and for those of you a little more experienced, go after a 1rm. Running?! again?!?!: Yeah, we want to see some middle-low ground running here, not necessarily a sprint, but I want max yardage covered over 60s - you should hate yourself during this. We will have markers drawn on the ground and when the coach says TIME you stop and note your yardage. In order to get an accurate test of this low end stuff our choices are pretty limited to get the right dose response, running - and possibly rowing, but running will be more accurate.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title="Friday 7.8.16" open="false"]Friday 7.8.16 A. Max Effort Side Plank Left rest 90s Max Effort Side Plank Right **Score each side separately B. 15-20 Minutes to find Bulgarian Split Squat 8rm @ 3010 rest 90s - 2 minutes between legs **score is the weight you can perform with BOTH legs C. 20 Minute amrap 400m Run 7 No Push Up Burpee Box Jumps 14 American Kettlebell Swings [Notes:] Planks: Get right into the planks - this can be a primer for some of the other work here - BUT keep the feet stacked and if you deviate too high or low, call it - don't internally rotate your body either, I want a solid side plank position. Bulgarian Split Squat: I'd like the height set up so that its almost right below your kneecap - the benches may not do for everyone, you may have to use plates - that should make it so everyone can lightly tap the knee to the ground or get damn close in regards to tightness- foot up or down, don't care. don't use a barbell, its dumbbells for what we are doing. follow the tempo. click here for a video Wod: pick a weight/box height and cadence you can move smooth through the wod with. It's a tester, so play it out how you'd like.[/x_accordion_item][/x_accordion][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][/cs_content]

Amy’s Treat Corner-Donuts!

By: 0

In this month's special edition of Amy's Treat Corner, with Courtney as our guest chef, Amy and Courtney show you how to make delicious donuts as a special occasion treat. Just so everyone is clear, this does not mean there is such a thing as a "healthy" donut, even if it's made from Paleo ingredients. There is no such thing as a healthy donut, period. That being said, there is more to life than health, and having a special occasion every once in a while in the context of an overall healthy diet is not a bad thing . For the recipe and details on how to make the donuts check out the following link: http://paleomg.com/guest-post-samoa-donuts/

Introducing Forums

By: 0

Hey all! So we get some really solid questions about everything from Programming, Nutrition, Lifestyle, Training and the like during class - we don't always have time to answer them to the fullest with as crazy as things can be. We now have forums, and hang with us here because we are just beginning to launch it off the ground. Have a question you'd like to create some discussion around? Head to: www.crossfitsouthbend.com --> Forums I think getting some discussion moving along will educate both our athletes, and our coaches. -B

Testing Week 6.27-7.3

Wellness Wednesday - Do I need to buy grass fed beed and wild caught fish? ***Like us here at CFSB? Show us some love by clicking here to review us on google, or here to review us on facebook. (it really does help a lot!)***[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title="Testing Week Notes" open="false"]Hey all, a quick note about testing week. We have trained a lot of tempo these last 9 weeks, and regardless of whether you like it or not - its here to stay in one fashion or another. We have stripped out the tempo for this week, just make sure you are sticking to the standards of the movement like glue. It’s important to note that when we program our blocks, we program off of the results we see in class, and the trends that the coaches and I notice. If you don’t put your results in Train Heroic, you aren’t a part of the data, we will still look at all of the whiteboard results, but it helps to have you all put it into Train Heroic! Click here to get your free account on Train Heroic and Start Tracking Right Away. The testing is what typically matters most to us as we go through, that is why we stress it a bit more than some of the sessions through the weeks of training. Oh, and a note we saw looking over the data last testing week.. for fucks sake. Make sure you: a. put in the score correctly in train heroic, so you don't get shot to the top of the leaderboard by putting in a 800lb squat and also skewing our data. b. make sure your gender is set appropriately AND the weight measurement is selected as "lbs" in the top right corner, and NOT KILOS. If I see you as a male at the top of the women leaderboard with a 300 kilo squat, I am coming after you. **Next week we will be having a new style of week instead of a deload, we will be setting some different baselines for the next 9 weeks, AND stay tuned because this next week we will be having an "ask me anything" for those of you wanting to know about programming, or what the focus is, or putting your two cents in. Its great for us to answer questions, and its great for you all as well - lets get some good discussions going with your training or really anything else for that matter. So look for that. [/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title="Monday 6.27.16" open="false"]Monday 6.27.16 A. roughly 10 minutes to warm up and hit your attempt 1 x Max Unbroken Strict Pull Ups   B. 20 minutes to establish to Establish a Back Squat 1rm (or 3rm – see notes)   C. 5 Rounds 1 Min to do MAX REPS Russian KB Swings 1 Min Rest ***Notes*** Pull Ups: This is 1 single max effort set of pull ups. Warm as needed, but you have one shot at it. Make sure to keep good positioning, no reaching the chin, bending of the knees, or kicking. If you are unable to do pull ups you will complete a max effort set of ring rows. If you went with this option make sure to check off the RX button. These are prone grip (standard grip) Back Squat:Today we are going to hit a heavy single. IF YOU are within 3 months of completing Fundamentals or Accelerated Fundamentals you will complete a 3RM. This is that day to go for it, but remember to be smart. Don’t make unrealistic jumps. If form is going to shit, don’t keep adding weight and expect it to get better. Suggested Warm Up 50% x4 155lbs 60% x4, 70% x2, 80% X1, 85% X1, 90% x1, 95% x1, Max, Max Spotting and some other info for the back squat: if you don't know how to spot - today isn't the day to learn. Ask someone who knows or a coach. Also, keep to the standards - if you don't want someone to tell you it wasn't low enough, don't leave anything to chance - either squat all the way down, thats an easy way to avoid a no rep, or video it to get a better gauge of where you are at. Oh...and just use bumpers today instead of metal plates when loading - we have been seeing some shoddy spotting with metal plates on the bar, they aren't as kind to our bars as the bumpers are. The only time you can switch to metal is if you are 405 and beyond. Wod: Choose a weight where you feel like you can crush 30 unbroken in the first round - or something you feel like you can push out reps for all 60s Wod Scoring: Scoring on Train Heroic is reps, on the whiteboard it will be reps multiplied by weight used.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title="Tuesday 6.28.16" open="false"]Tuesday 6.28.16 A. 15 minutes to establish a Strict Press 1rm   B. For Time 2000m Row   ***Notes*** Planning out the day: 5-10 minute warm up, leading directly into 15 minutes and not a second more leaves you with 25 minutes elapsed and 35 minutes left in class. If we have 18 people in class that means 3 heats. Average time for a male last time was 8:09 in class, average for female was 9:14. Here is how this shit is going to go down. Everyone goes through the warm up together, everyone goes through the press together. When assigning heats for the row - fastest rowers go first, you know who you are, if you feel as though you may be a few minutes off from someone else in a heat - go in a later heat. For instance, if we have 13 people in a class, and 3 people have 7-9 minute 2k's...only those three go first, if we have 6 others in the 9-11 minute range, they go next, the people in the last heat are the people that have no idea what their 2k is, or people in the 11+ range. Press: No hip movement in the press, make intelligent jumps with this – small small small jumps, 3-5% is a huge jump on this relative to the other movements. 2k: Pace yourself! If you have a prior number, set yourself up for success by watching your splits.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title="Wednesday 6.29.16" open="false"]Wednesday 6.29.16 A. 20 Minutes to establish a Power Clean 1rm (or 3rm, see notes) B.

Pull Ups: Scaling here is either standard pull ups, or ring rows. Lets keep away from the bands. Burpees are standard If you have a prior score at this workout - use that scaling!!!

Too much lactate for some will cause premature fatigue as your body does not have enough time to flush it out of your bloodstream. For those who have done lactate training before this was not a problem. Your ability to recover quickly and in some cases use excessive lactate as fuel is optimal which is reflected in your times. I'd like to make slight modifications for some of you to get the time down to get the correct stimulus out of you (within reason) some of you may not have developed the ability to head down this energy system pathway. Lets look at some avatars Sarah – 5:51 (average time across 3) – inability to recover quickly enough due to excessive accumulation of lactate in the bloodstream causing premature fatigue and excessive breaks. With proper training this will get better. Leann – 4:37 (average time across 3) – good recoverability. Shows good ability to use lactate as fuel. Nick – 5:16 (average time across 3) – inability to recover quickly enough due to excessive accumulation of lactate in the bloodstream causing premature fatigue and excessive breaks). With proper training this will get better. Jeff – 9:20 (average time across 3) – low to moderate recoverability. Able to recover to a point but not able to go 100% consistently. Lactate tolerance okay but on the low end. With proper training this will improve. Zach – 4:16 (average time across 3) good recoverability. Shows good ability to use lactate as fuel.[/x_accordion_item][/x_accordion][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][/cs_content]

Reiterating Open Gym Rules and Times

By: 0

Hey all, With all of the new athletes performing Open Gym, and Private Program Design off to the side, we notice a few of you aren't really sure of the Open Gym schedule. So lets look back over Open Gym Rules and Schedule together. Click here to take a gander at our schedule for open gym times. It's the one that says "Open Gym Schedule" click here to glaze back over some of the rules Now we have this little standing rule, that if we are here, we don't mind you coming in to work out - but that comes with a risk - that if its an off gym time, and we need to run out to get some errands done, then you have to pack your stuff up and head out. We don't mind this off gym time - but you as an athlete need to know and understand when is an actual open gym time, and when you are taking your chances and we may have to head out. We are looking to expand these time(s) possibly in the future if its a desired service - but as of now, those are the hours that we have set, so try to respect them.

Do I need to buy grass-fed beef and wild-caught fish?

By: 0

Have you ever wondered, “Is it worth the money to buy grass-fed beef and wild-caught fish?”
 
This video answers that question and many more about which types of protein you should buy.
 
Today in the supermarket there are so many terms surrounding certain foods like “nitrate-free”, “antibiotic-free”, “omega-3 enriched”, “pasture raised”, etc. We talk about and explain all of these terms in this video and more.
 
Here’s the headline on quality protein: from a health perspective it’s always best to get your protein as close to nature as possible. Ideally that means from a local family farm, but it can mean organic food as well when a local family farm isn’t available.

[Notes:] CGBP:The close grip bench press will be performed per our standard of  having your index finger directly on the line where the knurling meets the smooth section of the bar. 3 down, 0 at the chest, fast as possible up, 1 second at the top. Front Squats: You can move up as the rounds progress if you'd like, but stay in the range of 8-12 and keep the reps clean, these reps are unbroken by the way.

Ever minute on the minute for 10 minutes: 3 Clean Lift Offs @ 21X1 don't score the skill work C. 15 Minutes to complete 50 Strict Pull Ups 100 Russian KB Swings 150 Double Unders Partition the reps however you'd like to finish score on the whiteboard time or total reps performed [Notes:] Part A and B are technique work, which means light, fast, and smooth for the weight selection - I don't care if it is a PVC pipe. You can ONLY move up in weight if the coach tells you to do so for these two. The way I am envisioning this; the coach will take 5 minutes to gloss over the tall power clean, then start the emom (everyone can start from the bar and move up from there if t0ld by the coach, if not, you stay at the bar until told otherwise) After the emom, the coach will gloss over the clean lift off to above the knee and then start the emom, again, everyone starting from the bar. The tall power clean should possibly take around 12-15 seconds from the bell if you are proficient with it as should the clean lift off with the assigned tempo, the time it takes for you to finish coupled with how sound the movement looks gives me an idea of if you should be moving up or not. If it takes you 30-40 seconds to finish the lift, then you probably had a lot of  thought involved with the movement and should stay relatively low in weight. This is also skill work so it should be low fatigue and snappy - we aren't hitting a max triple at either of  these today. For those people who are a little more developed in these movements, go ahead and hit it. Part C: Scale appropriately and get the work done however you'd like. Try to get some thinking done prior to coming in on how you want to break this up - we aren't going to give you 10 minutes to get a damn plan on the board.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title="Wednesday 6.22.16" open="false"]Wednesday 6.22.16 A. 3 Rounds 8 minute amrap 10 No Push Up Burpees 10 Sandbag to Shoulder 100 Yard Shuttle 2 minutes rest between amraps (yeah, 2 minutes) score rounds on the whiteboard [Notes:] okay...lets see if I can explain this without creating a diagram. preferably, this workout is done outside. each person is set onto a yard marker outside with a sandbag. we have 11 yard markers - 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50. If we have more people than yard markers, the other athletes will be placed across the parking lot from another athlete who is on a yard marker. in place, you will perform 10 no push up burpees on your yard marker, 10 sandbag to shoulder, on your last sandbag to shoulder rep - keep the sandbag on your shoulder and perform a 100 yard shuttle. the shuttle will be performed by stepping out from wherever you are at on the yard marker, cutting and running to the 50, then cutting and running to the 0, then run back to wherever you were at on the yard markers for the next round. If you are at a 0 or 50 yard marker, you will perform a down and back. be consistent on rounds and rest 2 minutes between - you may have to pull back the intensity/speed with such little rest.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title="Thursday 6.23.16" open="false"]Thursday 6.23.16 A.

Use this number as a guideline for what you may want to hit next week.
