Week 3 CrossFit Team Series events announced

Team Series is back! For those teams who are completing these, plan to have your WOD’s complete by Monday. If you are entering your score online you will need to complete them by Saturday.

Get ready to Bench Press! We have two more benches now and I will be programming bench press for strength training starting next week. Having a total of 4 benches will allow for small groups of up to 3-4 to rotate through the bench. This will be a great addition to adding variety to our lifts.

We programmed this Hero WOD almost a year ago to the day. It is a very fitting and challenging physical and mental endurance workout.

“U.S. Navy Senior Chief Cryptologic Technician David Blake McLendon, 30, of Thomasville, Georgia, assigned to Naval Special Warfare Group 2 Support Activity in Norfolk, Virginia, was killed September 21, 2010, in a helicopter crash during combat operations in the Zabul province of Afghanistan. McLendon is survived by his wife Kate McLendon, his parents David and Mary-Ann McLendon, his brother Chris McLendon, and his sister Kelly Lockman.”

Tough WOD. Hero WOD’s always are. RIP.

This video has the same coaching tip that was covered today in several classes to use the hips to drive the bar up out of the squat. Quickly and aggressively opening and extending the hips will help push the bar overhead without the slow struggle that turns into a press out.

As a team of 3 complete 2 rounds for time:

45 Burpee Box Jump Over (24″/20″)
45 Front Squats (135#/95#)

** Teams alternate work (one works at a time) but each team member MUST complete 15 FS and 15 STO each.

*** During barbell movements the bar cannot touch the ground. If bar hits the ground during the 45 reps of each barbell movement then the entire team runs a 400m penalty lap before picking up the bar.

I missed the memo for Green Movember Shirt day:

James_PS Rob_MU

Sometimes a strength or skill WOD can challenge everyone enough to force scaling more than you think. Today was like a double, but worked very different movements and skills.
