We brought this WOD home with us from our trip to Sacramento (and a couple drop in’s at CFC, our home away from home). This PT test is a hard and fast chipper that is a great test of motor and minimal load.

We are back from Pt.2 of our vacation and all coaching schedules are pretty much back to normal. We want to give a huge thank you to all the coaches for covering classes and running things so smoothly without having to interrupt the schedule. We truly have an awesome group of coaches and friends at SRCF.

Some of you may have noticed for this WOD but we introduced an alternate scale for the pistol. Using the single leg high box step up (30″/24″) by alternating the leg for each step up. This method ensures full range of motion while putting a load and balance demand on the single leg. While doing a modified pistol from standing on top of the box and single leg squatting while hanging the opposite leg off the box is also a great scale; often we see an athlete limit their depth once they are off balance or the leg is not strong enough to go through the range. By stepping up on one leg you eliminate that “crutch”.

Rory Z_MU_CF Games

I should just call this WOD “Wilson” as it was basically Rob’s favorite things. It was only missing some handstand push-ups.

This workout was meant to give plenty of opportunity to work muscle-ups and preferably unbroken sets as long as possible. The run and rope was the time to recover for each round on the rings.

Roll out those lats and upper back after all those muscle-ups. Read how below and use those rollers often:

I did this modified version of the Sprint Chipper the other day (since we don’t have walls or enough GHD’s) and am still amazed at the times put up at the Games. Hope you all enjoyed this fast chipper.

On Saturday (8/3) we will be hosting the 31Heroes fundraiser workout again (our 3rd year). This 31 minute AMRAP is a team of 2 workout and honors the 30 American service members and 1 military service dog who were KIA in Afghanistan when their Chinook helicopter was downed on August 6, 2011. The 31Heroes Project exists to support the families of all fallen military heroes.

We will run normal class times at 930 and 1045 for this workout. First come, first WOD, there are no sign-ups.

Be on time and ready to warm up and tackle this event to make it go smoothly. Bars and box jumps outside, with ropes/supines inside. Expect to run with a bumper plate.

More info on the mission and the workout can be found at www.31heroes.com

Registering at this link will benefit the fundraiser and get you this year’s shirt.

We’re Back!

Epication 5 is complete. Here are the WOD results from the past several days. I am in a post Games-Hangover.

We cannot thank Coach Moe enough for running the show while we were gone! Not having to close for 5 days is hey-uge. You are our savior.

This year SRCF was rolling over 20 deep at the Stub Hub Center and it was by far the least stressful and smooth Games experience that Michelle and I have had since the Games moved from the Ranch in Aromas over to the Home Depot Center (now Stub Hub). In 2009 Michelle and I went with a couple of our best friends and realized that the Games is really an amazing and inspiring vacation experience. As we flew home I remember saying we were coming back every year. In 2010 we went with some of our coaches (and good friends) and had so much fun we made it a tradition every year since. For your coaches it’s more than a vacation. It’s also an opportunity to recharge, talk shop, see the best in our sport live, be exceedingly inappropriate, and have a true team building experience. I’m already counting down until 2014.

I want to thank everyone who went down there for helping out, pitching in, going with the flow, and making it a fun vacation for all.
