We often see accessory work programmed consisting of trunk work, mobility, prehab/rehab, and even bodybuilding. Is this just to fill the hour, or is it important? Of course it is, and let me explain why! The fact that it happens to be at the end of the workout does not mean it is less important. […]

The law of individuality tells us we are all the same, but we are all different. We are all made of blood and tissue but how we approach things or respond is individual. Everyone will respond differently based on genetics, stress load, nutrition, and recovery. However, there are some general things that you can focus […]

Certainly, there has been all those things in the last decade, but from all of that there were lessons. The last […]

This was intimidating, but ultimately good.
I fully expected a 20+ minute WOD so I was
pleasantly surprised with 14:39 – box jumps were
95% steps, they just gas me. Only 115 on the front
squat.

Boys– you are no longer allowed to use the word “only” in front of your weights for the strength portion of the day.
*IN FACT* no one is allowed to use that word. Be proud of what you lift (like CHris H yesterday, LOL)– every day is different, but just work to your potential and know that you gave it your best! Good weights today– front squat is a toughie.

Front squats kick my tail. I out punted my coverage on this one, thought I had more in me than I really did. 225# for set of 4 then had to scale back, my legs were not agreeable. 15 mins on the wod, I felt like I was running in knee deep water !

Met Con: 14:??… Forgot to look at the board. Not as vicious as I thought it would be- but still bad. 20″ box. Finished a few seconds behind Laura C- I thought I’d let her beat me this time ;).
Second met con: AMRAP in 15 minutes of– 250 m row + 25 push ups (15 HSPUs buy in at the start of the AMRAP)
4 full rounds, plus row and 12 push ups.

Went to CF South Brooklyn today. Awesome staff and box.
WOD:
After 3 3 3 3 PP until your max weight, you had to do 3 3 3 at max weight (max was 145 w/c is a 10lbs PR)
Next, with 75% of max (110lbs) do max reps but starting from scratch and focusing on form, not time. Did 17 reps.
Then, AMRAP 12 mins
– 30 DU’s (scaled for me was 15 DUs)
– 20 KB swings (american) (44lbs)
– 10 pull ups
Got 3 rounds + DUs + KBs of rnd 4
