B-Mac on deads

Workout of the Day

A. 5 Rounds:
4-6 Push Jerk @ 12X1; rest 150 sec
4-6 Weighted Strict Chin Ups @ 21X0; rest 150 sec
B. 4 Rounds:
4-6 Push Press @ 12X1; rest 120 sec
15 Chest to Bar Pullups; rest 120 sec
C. 3 Rounds:
4-6 Press @ 12X1; rest 90 sec
20 Pullups (chin must break vertical plane of bar); rest 90 sec

This is a long workout. Exercises are organized in terms of priority, so rather than cutting down on rounds, we’d prefer that athletes come and work through the workout AS PRESCRIBED until they complete it or need to leave. Use a band in parts B & C, if necessary, to cut sets required for pullups to 2 or 3. There is only 150 sec rest between last round of A and first round of B. There is only 120 sec rest between last round of B and first round of C. Closing hours are closing hours, so make sure you arrive with adequate time to complete the workout if you want to do the whole thing (arrive no later than 8:15 AM in the morning or 5:45 PM in the evening).

Double day tomorrow for sectionals athletes. In order to complete this double day within the open hours at CrossFit Winnipeg you will need to arrive at 8 AM Sharp tomorrow! Part A will need to start at 8:20 AM. Part B will start at 10:00 AM. This should give you approximately 1 hour of rest between. Other options: Do Part A during CFW hours and then do Part B (rower required) at another facility or with special arrangements with another coach who might be in later. Not an option: carrying out the workouts between 11:00AM – 12:30PM at CF Winnipeg.

Modification to sectionals training schedule:

Monday will be a rest day. Tuesday is a double. Wednesday is a single.

Food Friday by Kimberly

Eat your greens!


I’m back on the real food wagon but I still feel the need for snacks, I’m hoping I can’t go wrong with greens because I’m fortunate to genuinely like them :)


My favorite way to cook greens as a snack is to coat them in olive oil and then pan fry them with a little sea salt and a lot of pepper.  This works best with brussel sprouts (sliced in halves or quarters) and broccoli, but I think other veggies would work just as well.  I use medium heat – don’t want to overheat the extra virgin olive oil. Butter would work too, and then there’s bacon fat but it doesn’t caramelize well.


Another great green snack is kale, in the form of kale chips…you have to try it once to believe me, they are delicious.  Wash a couple of kale leaves and rip them into small pieces (discard the hard center stem).  Rub them with extra virgin olive oil and a touch of sea salt and lay them in a single layer on a baking sheet.  Bake at 375 for 5 minutes and then flip them and bake some more until they just start to brown around the edges, you have to watch them closely, burnt kale doesn’t taste good.  The only problem with kale chips is that they take longer to prep and cook then to eat; I take the baking sheet to the living room with an oven mitt and don’t even bother with a plate. My roommate likes them too, so this is primal food you’ll end up sharing.  I have made multiple batches at once and I’ve found the best way to “store” them so they stay crispy is to pile them on an uncovered plate in the cupboard – to keep the cats and my roommate from nibbling :P
