“Burpee Time”
Here’s a video we put together from WOD#2 at the NW Regionals on May 16th.
3 Rounds for Time:
More like “Day Off Gone Bad”.
Remember the reason for today. The following is a video with the faces of the Heroes for whom several of the WOD’s we do are named after (posted on the CrossFit main site). Rest in peace.
Squatch was recently seen going surfing. Was this a rest day? The real question is where is his kettlebell?
For Time:
The man-maker push-up:
Using dumbbells perform a push-up. As you complete the push-up pull the dumbbell upwards into a one arm row. Alternate the row with each arm after you complete the push-up. These will make the man (or woman).
Travis, Deb and Curtis were fortunate enough to try these with a WOD that used the man-maker and the dumbbell hang clean.
The Overhead Squat is a weightlifting movement that requires strength, coordination, flexibility, power and a stable midline. Its ability to test the strength of your core, shoulders, and legs is unsurpassed. It’s a technical lift that requires practice, practice, more practice and then patience, but once you get it you quickly see a change in your speed and power. We have been focusing on these quite a bit with PVC pipe both in Elements and then in warm-ups. The weather made for a perfect time for several of you to try it with a barbell or load to feel the difference so we ran everyone through a scaled version of “Nancy”.
The power clean is a very important movement that teaches power and explosiveness. It leads to being able to rapidly getting weight up to your rack position for going overhead. The push jerk is essential to pushing heavy weight overhead. This combination of two movements are a huge benefit to the athelete in strength and conditioning.
This can be a tough movement for those new to Olympic Lifts but that is why we use the PVC pipe so much. After a month of working through many of the fundamental movements Deb, Adriana and Curtis moved on to the more complex barbell exercise. They all learned the Power Clean and Jerk and steadily improved on form, coordination and technique throughout the WOD. Great job all of you!
