TOMORROW is our annual SRCF costume-required “Frankenchipper”! The Frankenchipper is a combination of benchmark “Girls” WOD’s. Like Frankenstein it’s part “Helen”, “Nancy”, “Karen”, “Cindy”, and “Filthy Fifty”.

Make sure you have your costume. First wave is at 9:30am. We will run however many waves we need to get all of you through. No need to sign up, just show up!

No costume = no Frankenchipper WOD. Your horrifying WOD will be 100 burpees for time. Do NOT be the person who shows up clueless without a costume!

RANT ALERT: This is a NO REP. The whole 5pm class gets a no rep today for this debacle. Put things away correctly. It only makes more work for everyone else. We are not your mom and not a daycare who picks up all the toys for you.

Box Jump_Lou

Lots of back squat PR’s AND some strict handstand push-up PR’s today! 

The Frankenchipper is coming. Make sure you have your costume ready for our annual Halloween costume WOD next Saturday 10/25 at 9:30am. We will run waves and get all of you monsters, zombies, superheroes, villains, and other assorted characters through. 

As the Winter/Fall season is upon us the box will be getting colder. The cooler weather keeps the door closed more often so the “funk factor” will be on the rise. To help prevent being a contributor to the “funk” here is a reminder to everyone to do a “sniff test” before you leave for the gym/change clothes  and to put deodorant on whether you pass the test or not. This will help make sure the box smells like roses while we work out. That way you can raise your barbell if you’re SURE!

Hang Snatch_Coaching the Coach

A good overview of the Hang Snatch www.catalystathletics.com

Snatch hand position with Chad Vaughn – [video]

A comparison of two different hang snatches from the dip into the 2nd Pull (finish at full extension) and landing position after 3rd pull (the pull under the bar to overhead squat) with Jules.

Series 1:

1st HS - 1 1st HS - 2 1st HS - 3

  • Both look relatively close. Series #1 above you can see how the first picture of the bar moving into the hips has the chest slightly too far forward and the lats and shoulders are not “on”. By being a little too far over the bar and in the toes, the “finish” or hitting extension on the 2nd pull has to be even more aggressive which makes the athlete more likely to leap forward. You can see this in the feet moving forward in the last picture. This causes the landing position to be forward with the bar overhead, with the right knee diving in and leading to Jules “going for a walk” with the bar.

Series 2:

2nd HS - 1 2nd HS - 2 2nd HS - 3

  • Series #2 above note the first picture Jules is more upright, with a more vertical torso with a stronger lat and shoulder position while the bar moves into the hips.  The second pic shows a more aggressive finish with the bar higher while transitioning into the 3rd pull under. The feet are closer to the jumping position and not forward in the overhead squat in the last picture, with both knees more in balance and feet flatter on the floor. This was a great lift!

While the differences are subtle, this helps show the execution at the start of the lift whether from the hang or the floor is the first link in the chain to making an easy or smooth lift.

Bench

The benches arrived last week so it was time to mix up our strength training with some bench presses. For some this was a new movement while for many it was a focus on learning and practicing better technique to correct how we all learned to bench press (watching other people in a weight room). Adding this movement will help improve upper body pushing and pressing strength in the chest and shoulders.

Tomorrow 10/15 we will conduct our drawing for the raffle for the free spot to the Movement Fix Athlete’s Movement and Mobility workshop we are hosting on 11/2. We will post the winner tomorrow!

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.
