Stadium Chipper

Fun throwback workout today. Rather than the team format used at the Games this was just a solo chipper. I remember watching this at the 2009 Games at the Ranch and wondering how many teams would DNF because so many of the women couldn’t hit the 10′ 6″ wall ball target. 

Dumbbell Push Press with Lisa:

Use the dip, drive (of the hips) and press to efficiently and powerfully complete this movement.

Want the skinny in understandable language on why, what and how the Paleo diet is so effective? It all starts with food. What you eat is the foundation of your health. Pick this up and make it happen. It will change your life.

Seeing Double – Rob 1 and Rob 2:

Rob 1 Rob 2

My conclusions after reading this are:

  1. North Carolina is dumb, the North Carolina Board of Dietetics/Nutrition is a joke and America is falling apart. They need a paleo cookie.
  2. Life Coaching services should not require a license. They should simply have to be approved by Coach Jeremy. His life coaching skills in the gym are legendary. Example: “I beat you. You are old and suck. Next time be fitter.” This type of life coaching is priceless.
  3. At the rate we are going on forging mediocrity as a society it is only a matter of time before I cannot legally tell you whether or not you should use a red band or a blue band for your WOD.

This Hero WOD definitely results in a lot of rest, but the key to keeping your grip and staying moving is the hook grip.

Today Mother Nature forced us to call an audible (or WOD-ible) as rain combined with running and rope climbs made for the potential for human hail inside of the gym. That would have been a mess to clean up and I already covered the “Tom is a neat freak” topic on the Facebooks today (also below). With that said bring your long socks tomorrow and your best overhead squat.

Good work on squat cleans. Just like the snatch this weightlifting movement is based on speed, technique, efficiency, and power.

MU Race

For those who missed the Rules Rant:

Housekeeping Announcement! It’s getting way too sloppy for my anal retentiveness in the gym.

Please take the time to put things away in the space they correctly go. Bumpers are stacked by 10’s, 15’s, 25’s etc. Bars are grouped together in the holder by lightest to heaviest (or short training bar to men’s bar), KB’s are in order, wallballs on shelves, rollers on racks, boxes stacked by type etc. Chalk balls stay INSIDE the buckets! NOT on the floor or balanced on little ledges.

Also please do not THROW the bumpers onto the stacks. For some reason even though some can lift a bumper plate when it is attached to a bar, that same person cannot carry the bumper and place it neatly on the stack. We now have a nice drywall hole in the stack of 35# plates. I always wanted one of those but don’t need another…

Please clean your stuff off after use and put it back. The person at the next class greatly appreciates it.

Corrective behavioral motivation techniques include: A week of burpees in every WOD and warm-up, lots of running with odd objects, and random punches to the throat.

Fitness Lonnie at the North West Regional

Event:

This Sunday at North Bend Theater there is a fundraiser for a local camp that helps kids who are burn survivors.

Camp Eyabsut is a camp that for over 15 years has helped kids who have suffered 2nd and 3rd degree burns come together to teach them they are not alone, help them learn new skills and find a sense of belonging. Funding has meant that kids attended free but it has been cut for this year and to help raise money there is a special screening of Men In Black 3 at the theater. Proceeds will go to the camp. Cost is $10 per ticket and showtime is at 5pm this Sunday 6/3. There are flyer’s at the gym with more details. We are planning to see the movie and help support this cause. Thanks Tricia for bringing awareness to this fundraiser.
