WODs this week are intended to be easily scaled, as we’re deep in the CrossFit Open and it’s very easy to overreach and/or get injured. Know your limits, and choose progressions that allow strict, solid reps. Mostly bodyweight movements this week to keep you in that CrossFit ready state, with lots of couplets and triplets […]
Got a fun one for you today, a real grip killer. Heavy weight farmers walks are always a fun time but if you are thinking of doing the open workout on Friday and are worried about trashing your grip, try holding them in the rack position. It will still suck (great to develop breathing control)

Hopefully you’re feeling somewhat recovered from that grinder that was 16.1, because we’ve got a full week ahead of us. Lots of interval work, classic CrossFit-type movements, and some extra accessory work to keep your body healthy. If you’re competing in the Open (either online or the intramural) make sure you’re taking time to do
Thursday kicks off the competitive exercising season for 2016!

This week marks the beginning of the CrossFit Open 2016. If you are signed up for the Open, it is strongly recommended that you scale the workouts leading up to the Open WODs. And don’t forget RECOVERY – don’t be the person that does each workout three times. Plan in advance, try your best, recover,
So the key for today is pacing. This is a longer WOD and will give you a great opportunity to work on strategy. Don’t go all out in the first 2 rounds and suffer for the rest. 200m isn’t far but if you full on sprint you’ll gas out quickly (don’t shuffle jog either 😉
Some rough ones in here today. Make sure you’re well rested and well fed. You’re going to see a familiar face later in the week, and not one that you’re likely excited to greet. Also a lot of OTM (On The Minute) work, continuing to build work capacity. You’re also going to hate Tuesday. 🙂
You’ll see a variety of skill and conditioning movements paired with primary strength movements this week. We’re still undulating, and there’s more OTM work coming down the pipe, so steel yourself. You’ll also see the inclusion of OTM strength work paired with secondary movements, so be ready to hustle. No time to lallygag. Other than
If it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you….. I’m pretty sure that is a meme somewhere, it’s kinda stupid but also has some truth to it. Today will be a challenging day. So challenging that some of you may not be able to do it. This isn’t a bad thing but it will be
