The Team Series begins tomorrow! Workouts will be announced tomorrow after 5 pm. Teams will have the next week to manage their workouts and submit their results before the deadline: 5 pm PT, Sept. 14.

A few SRCF “Rules” on the Team Series:

  1. Class and regular programming takes priority; this means teams will need to adjust based on logistics such as equipment, size of class, availability of space/workout area, etc.
  2. See above ^^^. Don’t be the team that wants to take over the gym. You aren’t going to win part of the $15ok purse unless you signed Ben Smith, Rich Froning, and Sam Briggs to your team (If you did sign them then you can have the gym all week at your disposal).
  3. Plan your workouts with your team for availability and be smart. Don’t pick the two longest and most taxing workouts to do on the same day. That would be dumb.
  4. Saturday is NOT the day to plan to do all your Team WOD’s. You have almost a week, spread them out.
  5. Be on time, warm up EARLY out of the way with a purpose, and get your work done with minimal disruption to the schedule.
  6. When you are done, clean up promptly. While it is fun to share a FitAid with your mates, do it after you put things away.
  7. DO NOT under ANY circumstance consider asking me to have the gym open for a special time for you to do your team workouts. This includes asking to use the gym during OnRamp or showing up Saturday at 0930 during the Team Class or 1030 during the Advanced Class and expecting to get it done. I WILL a) say NO and b) freak out on you.
  8. Enjoy the team workouts and have fun!

Read: How We Program Workouts and Some Tough Love by Freddy Camacho, CrossFit Of Fremont
I am consistently asked about how I program for us. In the below link are the exact same principles I use in programming our gym. The other 2 principles I use in addition to the 3 that Freddy lists are:
4) Repeatability: I program workouts and benchmarks to establish a baseline and to monitor overall gym progress. This includes but is not limited to strength workouts, past WOD’s that are “faves” of mine, Hero WOD’s, Benchmarks aka the “Girls”, and other workouts such as past Open, Regionals or Games WOD’s. This allows me to monitor gym progress.
5) Variance and Responsibility: I believe that CrossFit needs to vary not only movements, load and time; but also intensity, style of workout, and overall intended effect on a day to day basis. Workouts should not repeat a basic pattern for more than 2 days in a row (such as pull-pull-pull, or heavy-heavy-heavy etc.) Some weeks it may seem like a squat week, and some may seem like a push week but I balance all of them in my programming. If you come 5-6 days in a row, then you will see some repeatability, but that is because you should be taking a rest day. I do NOT program a workout I feel is a stupid amount of reps, time, or movements simply because you saw it on another website or someone instagrammed themselves sprawled out on the floor and said “ermagherd this crushed me you guys need to do this!”. We will not program a 60 minute chipper and 30 legless rope climbs or 250 burpees.
With these principles I follow a basic template. We will always do an Oly lift and squat each week, and either push or pull for strength. We will work on basic gymnastics skills regularly. We will always vary the conditioning across broad time and modal domains, and we will always give you opportunities to get coached and get your ass kicked depending on your skill and intensity.

OnRamp:

Next week we begin our September OnRamp.  The schedule is below.  If you know anyone interested in CrossFit tell them now is the time to start!

Our September OnRamp Schedule is:

  • Tues. 9/8 at 7pm
  • Thurs. 9/10 at 7pm
  • Sat 9/12 at 8:30am
  • Tues. 9/15 at 7pm
  • Thurs. 9/17 at 7pm
  • Sat 9/19 at 8:30am

* Each OnRamp session will run approximately 1hr to 1 hr 15 min.

“Christina Taylor Green was born on September 11, 2001. She died in another public display of violence on January 8, 2011.  She was shot in Tucson, along with 19 other people, including Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. Five victims died at the scene. Of the six fatalities, only Christina died at the hospital. Her uncle Greg Segalini said she took a bullet in the chest.  The 9-year-old girl had accompanied a neighbor to the “town hall” event in a supermarket parking lot because she wanted to meet Gabrielle Giffords. Christina was newly elected to the student council at Mesa Verde Elementary School.
This WOD will be done in memory of Christina.  The 6 movements in the workout represent how many people died as a result of the shooting, 9 reps for each movement represent Christina’s age.” ~ CrossFit Maximus
