Two for one today since I didn’t get a post up last night. Bachelor Parties will do that (Congrats Jorge)! This week has been tough and everyone hit PR’s and pushed through some long workouts. The focus was intentionally on mid to long duration WOD’s; with an emphasis on chippers and focusing on some gymnastics skills work such as rings, hollow position and core strength exercises (like hollow rocks, dips, L sits, tucks, knees to elbows, floor wipers, planks and more).  We will mix up the programming next week to focus on short and medium while working in more skills work. Look for things like dead hang pull-ups, strict push-ups, more L Sits, and ring supports. Oh and don’t think we have forgotten the Shoot-Through! As soon as the parallettes get here it’s ON. One of these days for a WOD we will even turn off the clock! Then we will really be able to concentrate on skills and less on time. I’m excited to keep up the progress on getting stronger in the middle and getting better at full range of motion, as it will mean making movements cleaner, safer and more beneficial to you the CrossFitter.
