Even backwards it’s still filthy. Ten exercises of fifty reps each with practically no load is some rough conditioning work. This is a reversed version of the classic CrossFit “chipper” that we don’t do very often (maybe once a year) but this combination does slow it down a bit by starting with the burpees and wall balls early. Either way is misery.

Quote of the day: “The key to all physical training is intensity.”

Rocky Balboa dropped in for weighted pull-ups today. “Yo Adrian!”

Got your Halloween costume yet for the Frankenchipper WOD? Times running out and the WOD is Saturday 10/26!

This applies to both snatches and cleans. Fix the early arm bend in both lifts and the increase in power will see your loads go up.

In our gym we post the results and loads/modifications for every WOD everyday. We give you a logbook during OnRamp. We list all of our programming on beyondthewhiteboard.com daily to post on the web if you don’t like to write. Are you keeping up with logging your workouts, training, and tracking your performance? If not, then how do you know whether you are making progress or give you opportunities to set new goals? If you fell off from doing it or never started, then start and make it a habit. It only takes about a minute a day.

Not the full version of OPT’s Flight Simulator, but this shortened version is a heck of way to get some jump rope practice. If this becomes easy work up by the next round of 5 and keep adding until you get good enough to get through the round of 50 or until you get sick of double-unders (like me).

Today someone after the WOD said something to me that just made me smile. They told me that they really enjoyed the conditioning workout and surprised themselves. They had been dreading it all day and were looking for reasons to not come into the gym because they thought it would be a tough workout with something they were not going to be “good” at. Instead of skipping they came in, scaled perfectly, and did very well for themselves. Sometimes the toughest part is just walking through the door. Doing the thing you suck at makes you better at it. Practicing your weaknesses builds skill and work capacity. Before long that becomes habit forming of the good kind. When you are dreading doing what you know you should be coming in to work on, simply drive to the gym, walk through the door, and get to work. You might surprise yourself.

You know a WOD is really rough when any of three things happen; 1) it gets really silent for a really long time, with zombie stares on everyone 2) people flop over onto the floor like a dead fish at the end or 3) people start alternating between giggling and screaming during the workout. The hollow rocks and abMats brought out #3. Very entertaining.

killed February 6, 2008 in the line of duty. Our thoughts and prayers go out
to Officer Simmons’ wife and two children.” ~ CrossFit.com

This Hero WOD is one long barbell sprint that demands a strong hook grip, muscular and cardio-respiratory endurance, and the mental determination to grind through large sets.

Notes:

The CrossFit Games on ESPN continue tomorrow, Wednesday, October 8th, at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT with the Men’s Pool, Burden Run, Legless and Clean and Jerk Ladder Events.

Congrats to Lindsay, Bill, Rob W., Seth M., Dana and Brandon for running the Tough Mudder and to Evan W. and Chris S. for running a 5k this past weekend! Way to use your fitness people.

Saturday we did something different. It was a max effort lift kind of day, with teams having a set amount of time to find a 1RM in two lifts. Moving quickly against the clock and sharing a bar meant communication and strategy of loads played a part as teams moved up to each find a max. For the Advanced class it was the same sort of 1RM focus as the Burgener Total forces the athlete to hit a max in order of both Oly lifts then finish with tired legs under the bar for a max Front Squat. After the 1RM lifts it was time to get some quick conditioning work with 200m sprints.

Quote of the day: “Thanks SnoRidge CrossFit!
The only exercise I do is CrossFit a few times a week. Ran a 5K yesterday in
22:34…and the only way I did that is because CrossFit has taught me how to
keep going when everything in your being is screaming at you to stop.” ~ Evan W.

A few months ago we did a 1RM Hang Power Clean and then this checkout. Tonight we repeated it and saw a ton of PR’s across the board. Cleans (both full and power) are all up and improving (including some coaches) and we’re seeing much less of the “jumping jack” technique flaw of jumping wide when heavy. The depth on a power (or hang power) clean should go lower towards a full squat clean as the weight gets heavier, as your footwork should emphasize not repeatedly jumping the feet out.

Just because Mobi class was cancelled tonight doesn’t mean you couldn’t stretch. Put in the work and read the following: Shut Up, Flexibility by Greg Everett, Catalyst Athletics
