Crossfit Syosset/ Thursday, August 24th

Workout:
5 Min Amrap
30 Double Unders
10 Hang clean and press @115/85
4 Min rest

Metcon:
15 Min Amrap
400 Run
15 Box Jumps @24/20
7 Devil’s Press @40/25

These are two different workouts. The first one should be attacked aggressively trying to move quickly throughout the whole 5 minutes.
If your double unders suck cause you choose not to become proficient at them by never practicing, I guess just hold your head in shame for around 30 seconds while everyone else who can do them, does them.
If you are having trouble getting them, you do realize you are just jumping over a rope, right?
I don’t think you need to make much of it. It’s really not that big of a deal to get them.
If you don’t have them I think it’s definitely time to face your fears and conquer them.
What do you think?
I know the 5am slackers who avoid them like a kid avoids green vegetables has started a challenge in which they will all have the dreaded double’s by the end of September.
If anyone at 5am didn’t realize this was going on, it is!
So get your shit straight and get this off your list of failures.
Seriously, practice every day for 10 minutes a day and you’ll have them.
Then you’ll feel like a star and never have to hear a word outta me again! I mean about double unders.

Crossfit Syosset/ Monday, August 21st

Workout:
Run 800
10 Overhead squats 135/95
Run 800
20 Front squats 185/125
Run 800
30 Back squats 225/150

I’m sure not everyone going to be able to do the Rx weight just be sure to use a weight that you actually need to work hard to get the squats done.
Here’s what not not to do, choose your weight by configuration. Just because the barbell and 2 10lb plates equals 35lb doesn’t mean you should only do 35lbs.
Push yourselves to do more weight or the workout will just be running.
On the other side of the coin if your overhead squats suck cause you choose not to work on your mobility, maybe work on your mobility first and then do the weight you can with full range of motion even if it’s an empty barbell.
No half squat bullshit, that’s just gay.

Crossfit Syosset/ Thursday, August 16th

Workout:
Row 2k / 1,600 meters
Run 1 mile
Ski 2k / 1,600 meters
Do not partition the movements.
The workout is to be done as it’s written.
The workout would be not only physically easier but mentally easier also.
We don’t want that, especially the mental part. Don’t break it up. I’ll be very upset if you choose to break it up.
If you’re planning on ignoring me and breaking it up anyway, you’ll be punished once I find out.
Punishment could be anything from being publicly humiliated or a simple look of disappointment.

Crossfit Syosset/ Friday, August 11th

1 Overhead squat
1 Hang squat snatch
(increase weight every 2 sets)

If your overhead squat sucks due to the fact that you don’t stretch, you can use two different barbells for the workout.
Use a heavier one for the hang power snatch and a lighter one for the overheads.
Do you stretch?
Do you work on your shit?
Do you take time out of your day to work on your mobility?
I’m just asking cause I’m curious, that’s all.
Does it bother you that you have some mobility problems with certain exercises?
I’ve seen people like Mitch work on his mobility over the years and his improvement is incredible. Mitch couldn’t overhead squat a pvc pipe without it coming forward! Now that homeboy overhead squats 175 lbs! That’s fuckin crazy!
Like eating, it’s all about what you do consistently, right?
If you consistently work on your mobility, you become more mobil, strange concept but truth.
Speaking of eating, if you thought about it would you say you eat well consistently or do you eat crap consistently?
Think about it and let me know
