Filthy 50_Nu

Ten exercises. Fifty each. 500 reps. This benchmark WOD is the mother of all “chippers”. You chip away at each exercise and move on and at the end of it you feel like you were run through the wood chipper.

I don’t program monster chipper WOD’s often. They have their purpose, but they are kind of an easy way out for a CrossFit workout; the “throw it all together and go” stew of movements and impossible to remember the order combinations. They do however vary the training modality, as they tend to run longer in time duration and by bunching the reps up you are forced to execute them all with little recovery on that movement. Plus everyone should get filthy once in awhile.

Filthy 50

I found this in the gym today. I can’t figure out if it was a kid who wrote this or if one of you was so tired after the Filthy Fifty and wanted to send me a message…

Split Jerk

Read up on the Split Jerk and how to avoid the push or dive forward. Remember to maintain a vertical line with your torso on the dip which is key to avoiding pushing out front. Drive the hips under the bar and the feet agressively into the split as you push the bar up and over your head to just behind your neck for a strong finish.

Snatch_Kelby

Weightlifting day today! These are FULL snatches and cleans with push or split jerks. When you see either “snatch” or “clean” without “power” in front of it then it means full squat (hang included). This strength specific day still requires you to plan your time wisely and work on both lifts. It also forces you to have to move on while you still have something in the tank after snatching. Hitting a heavy clean and jerk after a max snatch is pretty taxing. Time flies even without a checkout. For everyone who hit a PR congrats. After the past two days of workouts and the heat it was great to see so many people near their PR or hitting a new best.

Today was also Jon’s goodbye WOD (he’s moving east to CO). Best of luck to you in your new state and be sure to come back in next time you have to visit Washington. We hope you find a great affiliate. As for everyone else none of you are allowed to move! Michelle and I (and the coaching staff) are tired of teaching you to snatch and clean only to have you move away…

So Jon came in and paid his burpee penalty right away for leaving a barbell out last night. The penalty was each like posted to the Facebook picture of his bar = 1 burpee. 79 or so burpees make for a good warm-up!

This post was delayed due to delayed onset muscle soreness from yesterday’s Stoneway CrossFit Queen Anne Riot Throwdown. This team competition in Seattle was held at the track outside at SPU and over 30 teams competed in scaled and RX divsions. We had three male/female teams of 2 from SRCF compete (Rob W. and Debra, myself and Lindsay, and Rob S. and Julianna) and all of us had a blast placing somewhere in the top 10 teams (results are not yet posted). It was a well run team building event that was a great example of the broader CrossFit community. As Rob W. would say “Everything is AWESOME!”

WOD’s where you get to change the load as you go with the same movement are a change of pace and a challenge that forces concentration and efficiency in your movement. Congrats for those who hit PR’s today and to Spence for his 100th WOD! You earned your 100 WOD Club T-shirt!
