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:

Lisa_DB Push Press_1 Lisa_DB Push Press_2 Lisa_DB Push Press_3

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.

Pat Testimonial

“Stephanie and I have been doing Crossfit at SnoRidge Crossfit  for 12 months and have enjoyed the experience. I love the fact that we can work out together in a true team environment that is as supportive as a group can be! Tom and Michelle Nugent have helped us get in better shape, eat healthier, sleep better, and just made life better! EVERYONE that works out their is incredibly friendly and supportive!

 

I was a little depressed before I started Cross-Fit. I am a more balanced, happy person today because of Cross-Fit. Stephanie and I are closer and we are better parents! Our 2 children are growing up with two parents that make their health a top priority!

 

I can’t thank you enough for the ride!”

"Hope"

3 rounds of 1 Minute each of Max Reps:

Burpees 
Power snatch (75#/55#)
Box Jumps (24″/20″)
Thruster (75#/55#)
Chest-to-Bar Pull-ups 
* 1 Minute rest between rounds

CrossFit for Hope” has the same format as Fight Gone Bad. In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. On call of “rotate,” the athlete/s must move to next station immediately for good score. One point is given for each rep.

  Hope Power Snatch

Yesterday we hosted CrossFit for Hope and despite a weekend conflicting with several local events we had 52 CrossFitters join us from three affiliates in the new “Hope” workout to help raise funds for St. Jude Children’s Medical Research Hospital. 

We want to thank everyone who donated, participated, cheered, scored and patiently waited for their heat time. It was a busy day and we tried to keep things moving as efficiently as possible and that would not have been possible without all of your help. Together SRCF raised around $900 and that does not include any matching funds from employers (which a few people are submitting). 

Can I still donate?

  • Yes! You can donate here to help raise funds for St. Jude’s. Every dollar goes to them and this hospital cares for terminally and severely ill children using these funds so that families pay nothing. If you want to donate a small amount then just search at the link above for SnoRidge CrossFit or any athlete in the gym who has created a fund-raising page of their own.

Set-up

Happy birthday to Tricia! (Not pictured due to Coach Fail)

Today we ran a birthday WOD by request. Rather than try to get cute with numbers (date or age) I just went with what she liked, what would be challenging and what fit for the week of programming. If you want a birthday WOD you can request one and I will figure out how to work it into the schedule. Sometimes I may combine it, others may have to wait, but I’ll do my best. It can also be a benchmark or known WOD that you love.

OH Situp

Events:

“Hope” is tomorrow. Most of the coaches ran through it tonight. Great workout, tough and similar to Fight Gone Bad. At least that’s my sales pitch. Donate and do it for the kids. 

CrossFit For Hope workout is Saturday! If you missed signing up for a wave then show up after 1045 and we will try to work you in. Our friends from CrossFit Devotion and Imperial CrossFit will also be joining us tomorrow.

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.

Sign up for your wave for “Hope” on Saturday! Please donate if you are going to participate in the WOD. All proceeds go to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.

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