class is on Friday the 19th at 10:30am.
For the 90% of you guys that are super tight you really should give it a try.  You might actually feel better and limit your risk of injury due to being tight and forcing your body to compensate when it doesn’t want to.

This Saturday is the Barbell for Boobs Workout.
We will hopefully have the T-Shirts on Friday night, the Shirts will be $30 each, 10 for the shirt and $20 for the charity we are doing the Booby contest for.

The wod Starts at 10am right after the 9am class.
Please be on time.

THERE IS ONLY ONE WEEK LEFT, BY KNOW IF THIS ISN’T KICKING YOUR ASS SOMETHING IS WRONG AND IT’S TOO LATE TO FIX IT.

Yoga this week will be on Monday at 7am and Friday at 10:30 am.
We’re trying to figure out what the best times are for yoga.
If you haven’t tried it yet, give it a go it’s great to do after your workout.

Lift:

Shoulder Press
7 x 3
3 reps every 60 second

Be sure to hold your core tight while the weight is over your head.
Not staying tight will cause your back to go into over extension, with a load that will cause damage to your spine.
So make sure you push your gut forward and tighten it up.

Workout:

21-15-9
Power Clean @135/95
Burpee

UNFORTUNATELY MOST PEOPLE THAT DO CROSSFIT DON’T REALIZE THE POTENCY OF THE WORKOUTS UNTIL THEY KEEP DOING WEIGHT THEY CAN’T HANDLE AND THEN GET INJURED.
FIRST OF ALL THAT LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA WEIGHT ISN’T GOING TO MAKE SUCH A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR FITNESS LEVEL THAT YOU WILL EITHER BE ARNOLD OR NOT.
YOU NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOUR BODY CAN HANDLE AND WHAT IT CAN’T, KEEP PUSHING WITH WEIGHTS THAT ARE TOO HEAVY AND YOU’LL BE INJURED IN NOT TIME AT ALL.

JUST USE WEIGHTS THAT ARE MANAGEABLE AND MOVE FASTER THROUGH THE WORKOUTS.
THIS WILL ASSURE THE INTENSITY YOU NEED TO MAKE CHANGES YOU’RE LOOKING FOR.
IT’S NOT THE WEIGHT, IT’S THE SPEED OF THE WOD.

BEING INJURED SUCKS AND IT’S NOT THAT HARD TO STAY AWAY FROM IF YOU ARE SMART.

WORKOUT:

“FILTHY ROWING FIFTIES”
ROW 1K
50 BOX JUMPS @24/20
50 JUMPING PULL UP
50 SWINGS @35/26
50 LUNGES
50 KNEES TO ELBOWS

50 PUSH PRESS @45/35
50 BACK EXT
50 WALL BALL @20/14
50 BURPEE
50 DOUBLE UNDER
ROW 1K

I’m assuming most of you enjoy being as tight as the youngsters in skinny jeans today,  unfortunately for you I’m not talking about the good tight.
The Yoga classes are in place to help YOU, help you become more limber so you don’t get hurt.
We’re trying to make the class times suitable so that everyone will be able to get a couple classes in a week.
We’re going to try for a 7am and 10:30am during the week and a 9am on Sunday and see if that works out well.
Like I said, it’s not a typical Yoga class, it’s more of holding stretching poses for a couple minutes each time.
This is good for everyone, if you don’t think it will help you then you’re probable one of the people that will benefit most from it.
Try it, the next one is on Wednesday @10:30am.
