You may notice the workouts look quite a bit different than normal – this is for good reason.

We have a LOT of people who show interest in CrossFit as the school year comes back in, rather than scheduling 50 appointments and pushing a lot of people into a fundamentals class to a fixed slot, every year we do a free student welcome week.

These weeks are definitely designed with the new person in mind, with some simple skills and aerobic work, no high loading, just get in and lets see you move with some easily scalable options. We design these workouts so that you higher level CrossFitters can be challenged as well.

We will have large groups of people, so you are going to see a lot of team workouts to keep the logistics running smoothly.

We program the workouts for a specific effect, aerobic, simple and fun – or at least…what we define as fun 🙂

We don’t want you feeling wrecked after each workout either, so we will adjust your pace according to your skill level to that you can frequent this week.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title=”Monday 8.29.16″ open=”false”]Monday 8.29.16

A. Warm Up + Skill Work

Skill work for today’s wod, wall balls

B. Aerobic Wod

Teams of 2-3

20 minute amrap, one person works at a time

50 Wall Balls
600m Run

Score is rounds

C. Cool Down

2 minute pigeon stretch on each side

[Notes:]

Today’s workout, we are looking at a work to rest of 1:2, or perhaps 1:1. You’ll be paired with people close to your strength and ability so that there aren’t three separate balls per team, and you aren’t grinding your team member into the ground. Use any ball you’d like as long as whatever your team chooses you can keep that ball moving the whole time, we don’t care how you break the 50 up between the 3 of you.

The 600m run  is  must be broken up 200m at a time, again, this entire process only 1 person works/runs at a time – you can’t go out and run a 600 for your team.

Novices: Stick to light weight or no weight (air squats) and if your knees bother you, rowing.

Fire breathers: grab you a 30 or 40lb ball

Part B. Notice that this is two rounds OF the two rounds. The way this works for both amraps is…

You can only work to accumulate reps while your partner is up on the held position.
You can switch whenever you’d like

Novices: Modify the plank and pillar to the knees or elevated and strip the weight for the ball and plate.

Fire breathers: Do the FLR on a set of rings, and use the heaviest plate and ball you can find.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title=”Thursday 9.1.16″ open=”false”]Thursday 9.1.16

4 minute amrap
Push Presses

4 minute amrap
10 yard Plate Pushes

C. Cool Down

Shoulder Stretch Cool Down – Coaches Choice

[Notes:]

Break this up however you’d like between your team mates, the goal is to get as many “reps” as possible in the 4 minutes – One Person works at a time.

For the Zercher Walks – every 10 yards is a rep, you can stand across from each other to pass the bag, or you can go down and back.

For the Push Presses, I’ll only allow 2 bars per team (if there is a weight disparity). But only one person works at a time and the weight is pulled from the floor.

For the Plate Pushes – every 10 yards is a rep, you can stand across from each other to slide the plate, or you can go down and back.

Novices: Lower the weight…for everything.

Fire breathers: Go heavy and fast.

There is no time between transitions – score is total repetitions.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title=”Saturday 9.3.16″ open=”false”]Saturday 9.3.16

[Notes]

Teams of 4! break it up to get the work done. There will be a particular setup to this wod as well.

Chest to bar: I will make sure you are scaled accordingly to get the appropriate stimulus, and to get through them without ruining yourself for the next few days

Kettlebells: Self explanatory

Double Unders: We will be switching to singles if doubles are not in your vocabulary

Front Squats: also, self explanatory.
___________

Novices: Chest to bar will be pulled back aggressively on this – of course, as far as kb swings – lighter weight, doubles – you’ll do singles, Front squats – you’ll air squat or goblet squat.

Fire breathers – do it Rx’d and do it fast.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title=”Sunday 9.4.16″ open=”false”]Sunday 9.4.16

A. Aerobic – Teams of 4

For time:

Row 20 Calories
30 Burpees
30 Dumbbell GTO
30 Toes to Bar
100ft Overhead Walking Lunge

[Notes:]

Conga line format –  This is a chipper workout. All four athletes perform the entire workout. Athletes begin behind the line. At Go, the first athlete enters and completes the Row. When that athlete has completed the row, they move on to Burpees, and the second athlete may begin the Row. This pattern continues, in order, through all of the movement. No athlete can begin their next station until the athlete ahead of them is clear from that station. The athlete in front does not have to wait for anyone behind. A team’s result is the total time for all 4 members to go through the workout.

Novices: I’ll be pulling back range of motion on burpees and toes to bar, and the weight on the dumbbell GTO.

Fire breathers: Hard and heavy on everything.[/x_accordion_item][/x_accordion][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][/cs_content]
