[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. I am looking for a seamless transition from the front squats to the run.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title="Tuesday 6.21.16" open="false"]Tuesday 6.21.16 A. Every minute on the minute for 10 minutes: 3 Tall Power Cleans B. 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. Back Squat 2rm @ 30X1 15- 20 minutes to get it done score weight B. 4 Rounds 30 seconds of toes to bar 30 seconds rest 30 seconds of push press 30 seconds rest score total reps on the board [Notes:] Back Squat - this is a setup for next weeks testing - there is no rest at the bottom but we are still controlling that tension on the way down. Use this number as a guideline for what you may want to hit next week. Part B: you can break sets up during the 30, but try to choose a weight and scaling that allows you to move consistently throughout.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title="Friday 6.24.16" open="false"]Friday 6.24.16 A. 5 Rounds 3-5 Overhead Squats rest 30s 3-5 Chest to bar rest 2:00 B. 20 Minute amrap @ 70% aerobic - smooth and easy 5 Inchworms, arms only 10 Cal Row 40 yards KB/DB Waiters Walk/Farmers Walk Combo (20 out, 20 back) :30s Banded Squat Support [Notes:] For the OHS, you can build as long as you have business to do so. Remember, the qualifications to move up aren't always because you CAN do it, but SHOULD you do it. The small bricks of chest to bar are just to get a little practice in for some of the testers as well as just practice in general. Part B is some recovery work - so don't try to crush it - move smooth get sweaty and pick your breathing up.

How to Easily Make Restaurant Quality Food at Home

By: 0

Is it possible to have restaurant quality food at home -that is almost fool-proof to cook? -that is ridiculously simple to prepare? -that you can leave cooking in the morning while you're at work, and then when you get back home it's ready? The answer is yes. It's called sous-vide cooking. It allows you to cook all of your food to the exact right temperature, and it's basically fool-proof. If you have don't have a lot of time to cook, if you have a big family to feed, or if you're looking to turn cheap cuts of meat like chuck roasts and pork roasts into something amazingly delicious you might want to look into sous vide cooking. For more details on sous-vide cooking check out the following article: http://www.seriouseats.com/2016/01/first-thing-to-cook-with-sous-vide-immersion-circulator-essential-recipes.html DISCLAIMER: I don't get any money from any sous vide company to talk about sous vide. There are lots of different sous vide devices and I'm not endorsing any particular one.
