WEEKLY PLAN

Be sure to tackle these objectives *once each* sometime before next Monday. You can do them either before or after your workout. You can do multiple objectives on a day. But just try to make sure you get them done. You choose the day you want to do the objective.

3/week

  • Heavy single deadlift. Perfect execution (including neutral cervical spine!!) required for successful rep. Report percentage of bodyweight lifted in heaviest successful rep to coach.
  • 100 squats at 2020 tempo. Goal is perfect execution. I would like to see everyone hit at least 50 consecutive squats. Report highest number of consecutive squats to coach.
  • Max effort in one set: toe pushups at 1010 tempo. Report number to coach.

Unlimited

  • All of the above
  • Tabata squats for total reps. Shooting for > 128 with good execution. If execution sucks, slow it down and do it right!!!!! Report total reps to coach.

CrossFit's version of the kettlebell swing

CrossFit's version of the kettlebell swing

If you’re coming to this weekend’s kettlebell cert, you should probably consider taking this as a rest day.

A. Deadlift 7 heavy sets of 2 reps. Looking for technical *excellence*. Post percentage of bodyweight of your successful reps to the board.

e.g. At bodyweight 175, lifting 350 pounds is 200%. If I lift 350 for all 7 sets then my score is: 200+200+200+200+200+200+200 = 1400. Goal is highest amount of points you can achieve. Poor form is a failed set (a zero).

B. Leg lift to L, hold (aim to accumulate 75s), finish by lifting toes to bar (only count your cumulative time if your toes touch bar to finish set)
