Yoga For Athletes

Tuesday and Thursday nights at 7:15 pm we will be doing Yoga for Athletes, which will help us in the three major areas that most of us struggle with: hips, hamstrings and lower back. The class is designed to enhance power and performance and create more openess in the body which in turn, will result in better performance in WOD’s. Athletes that would like to take part in the yoga classes can do so by paying an extra $20.00 on their membership.

Thank Goodness For Partners!

Today’s workout was one that made you appreciate your partner. It was heavy and tough, and in most cases, very long. Having to change the weights between each of the lifts, and also to accomodate each other, added some extra work to this WOD.

WOD:
5 Rounds
12 Deadlifts (155#/245#)
20 Pull Ups
12 Clean and Jerks (Squat) (95#/135#)
20 Toes to Bar
Each team is only allowed one bar and must change the weight on the fly.

This little one thinks toes to bar is “easy”.

Farmer’s Walk

The farmer’s walk was a new movement for us at CrossFit DV and our athletes were naturals. Thanks to Don S this morning at 6 am for his math skills. The rest of us were too tired to figure out how many trips across the gym we’d have to do and would have ended up doing an extra 600 feet if Don hadn’t recalculated. Much appreciated Don :)

WOD:
3 Rounds
100 Foot Farmers Walk (30#/45#)
30 Sit Ups
100 Foot Farmers Walk (30#/45#)
30 Box Jumps (20″)

Tough One

I don’t know about you guys, but I found this workout to be extremely brutal quite challenging. Once again, whining during the 6 am class (me) got an option B put up on the board with 10 less reps for each movement. Many of our athletes went ahead with the full WOD though and did awesome. A couple of athletes (Mike T and Stacey) absolutely killed it! Way to go CrossFit DVer’s and Happy Monday!

WOD:
3 Rounds
30 Wallballs (14#/20#)
30 Squat Snatches (45#/75#)

Partner Cindy

Do you push yourself more when you have a partner or do you use the partner WOD’s to take the pressure off and slack a bit? This Friendship Friday, the general consensus was that athletes tend to push themselves more when working with a partner or a team because they don’t want to let them down. Even so, most find it more fun to share the work.

WOD:
Partner Cindy
AMRAP 20
5 Pull Ups
10 Push Ups
15 Squats
