You’ll see a few things added/changed into this weeks programming in Wods 11.23.15 – 11.29.15.

1. We are forcing some awareness/trunk stability/core work  a few more days out of the week, we have been noticing a trend of not being aware of what is happening to your back during a lot of pulling movements, so lets try to shore that up.
2. Programming shifting – we will be alternating some of the days on the programming now so that you’ll squat/push/pull on some different days so if your schedule is fixed, you’ll be hitting some different things on some different days.
3. The skill work primarily will be Olympic Weightlifting through the 9 week block – we are shifting the gymnastics to Wednesday and sometimes on the weekends. We are going to drill some touch and go work for the open, and a lot of positional work with weightlifting i.e. landing under the bar, hitting a GOOD position while landing under the bar, good back positions on the first pull. etc.
4. We are bringing our handstand push up progression back on Wednesdays, we may do some kipping skill work, but you really shouldn’t worry about that until you have a decent amount of strict handstand push ups in the first place.
5. You’ll be seeing very CrossFit Open specific workouts, time domains, movement training practice, on the weekends – with some work pertaining to…

Knowing your own abilities -Setting a realistic plan and sticking to it

What movements you’ll run into, what movements you’ll either have, or you won’t

Gaming a workout vs going unbroken

Positive self talk and dealing with pain

Using the timer to your advantage

Touch and Go work

What gear to use and when / Equipment setup

Using video feedback from the wod

Getting judged

Training v.s. Testing

Keeping yourself accountable while competing

Notes:

Front Squats – These are pulled from the floor and are as heavy as possible

score is weight used for front squats.

Double Unders – You either finish 30 and rest the remainder – or – if you have no chance in hell of getting 30 doubles, just do max doubles under reps or double under attempts in 30 seconds. The only time I’ll recommend singles is if you absolutely don’t have singles.

---

Notes for CrossFit Open Competitors:

Try to perform those double unders unbroken.[/accordion_item][accordion_item title=”Tuesday 11.24.15″ parent_id=”” id=”” class=”” style=””]Tuesday 11.24.15

Notes:

Deadlifts – The first set should be on the medium side of heavy, build to a heavy 5. No “redo’s” if you feel like you could go heavier, plan that shit out and go for it.

NEW RULE JUST FOR TODAYS BALL SLAMS – catch the ball for Rx’d as always – but you have to catch the ball with your hips below parallel (in a squat) Yeah…thats right, we said that.

Pull ups – If you cannot perform pull ups without a band, or kip – do ring rows today. Before you ask for today, yes, you can kip.

---

Notes for CrossFit Open Competitors – all of your pull ups should be hitting chest to bar – or at least giving it your damnedest to do so.[/accordion_item][accordion_item title=”Wednesday 11.25.15″ parent_id=”” id=”” class=”” style=””]Wednesday 11.25.15

---

Notes:

Handstand Push Ups – you can transition to the next level once you’ve hit 12 repetitions.

never done these before? settle into a progression that allows for an 8-12 range

Progression is as follows

Developing Scaled Push Ups: 30″ Chest Elevated Push Ups  –>  20″ Chest Elevated Push Ups  –>  10″ Chest Elevated Push Ups

From Push Ups to Overhead Position: Push Ups  –>  10″ Feet Elevated Push Ups  –>  20″ Feet Elevated Push Ups   –>  30″ Feet Elevated Push Ups

Full Inverted Handstand Push Up with Risers: Handstand Push Up  to 4.5″ riser –>  Handstand Push Up  to 3.0″ riser  –>  Handstand Push Up  to 1.5″ riser

Handstand Push Up –>  Kipping Handstand Push Ups

---

Notes for CrossFit Open Competitors:

Don’t play with kipping in the handstand push up until you have developed strict handstand push ups that are pretty…that is a recipe for injuring your neck.[/accordion_item][accordion_item title=”Thursday 11.26.15 CLOSED” parent_id=”” id=”” class=”” style=””]
