"Well you're in your little room
And you're working on something good
But if it's really good
You're gonna need a bigger room
And when you're in the bigger room
You might not know what to do
You might have to think of
How you got started sitting in your little room"

"Coxswain II & The Angry Gymnast" (10.05.2012)

Warm-up Drills (10.05.2012)
Run 800m
2 Rounds for Quality of:
5 x Deadlift (45lbs)
5 x Sumo Deadlift High-Pull (45lbs)
5 x Front Squat (45lbs)
5 x Push Press (45lbs)
*Individual Mobility Drills (5-8 Minutes)

"Coxswain II" (10.05.2012)
Complete the following Row intervals at maximal effort
2 Rounds of
250m Row (75-85%RPE) x 1:00 Rest (Active Recovery)
Then…
1 Rounds at Maximal Effort For Time of:
Row 500m
Rest 5-10:00 (Full recovery, as much as it’s possible to achieve after anything requiring maximal effort)

Notes: RPE is an acronym alluding to ‘Rate of Perceived Exertion’; In other words it’s a subjective guide line each athlete can use to discipline the pace/efforts across any durational activity. Yes, I guess you could also decide to ‘Just wing it and try to keep it below vomit threshold until the time trial for score’. Use the rest interval at the end of the time trial to recover completely before moving onto the next deceivingly simple looking challenge.
How bad could a simple mix of Rings and Steel be, right? Ok, everyone panic…

''The Angry Gymnast'' (10.05.2012)
For Time
5 x Muscle-ups
Barbell Bear Complex (135/95lbs)
4 x Muscle-ups
Barbell Bear Complex (135/95lbs)
3 x Muscle-ups
Barbell Bear Complex (135/95lbs)
2 x Muscle-ups
Barbell Bear Complex (135/95lbs)
1 x Muscle-up
Barbell Bear Complex (135/95lbs)

Notes: Work through the following sequence 7 times without dropping/putting the bar down (scale load accordingly). Any time there is a drop/failed attempt at the Bear Complex the athlete must immedately lock the barbell out over head and complete one Penalty Lap while maintaining a stable load via midline strength (+/- 40m there and back). Upon returning to the scene of the crime (athlete's WOD area) they may proceed from where they left off. 
For a lift to be successful it will equate to 35 total repetitions across the 5 movements described below:
1 x Power Clean
1 x Front Squat
1 x Push Press
1 x Back Squat
1 x Push Press
Muscle-ups Scaling (if needed): 2 x Each Round’s Requisite # of Deadhang Pull-ups (C2B if possible) / 2 x Each Round’s Requisite # of Static or Ring Dips (Strict).
Example: Round 1 would be 10 x Deadhang Pull-ups and 10 x Ring Dips (Strict) & 1 x Barbell Bear Complex. Round 2 would be 8 x Deadhang Pull-ups and 8 x Ring Dips (Strict) & 1 x Barbell Bear Complete, etc.
Now that was one helluva week. Especially for those that survived. Yessssssss! Time to come get some, freaks…

"Sebastian" (10.04.2012)


Congratulations to Jorge and Alyson! 
Yesterday afternoon when this picture first hit my phone I was paralyzed with fear (Don't judge me: Unmarked picture of baby arrives on my phone...hiccup) but once I saw who the little ninja was I couldn't resist the urge to help show off Sebastian and his absolutely epic 'warface', Yessssss! 
wished everyone well, and said they miss this crazy crew...
We miss you guys here slaying the daily WODs among this amazing crew. No pressure or anything but bring Sebastian and his big sister back to visit soon (We promise to behave around the infants. Mostly.)

Warm-up Drills (10.04.2012)
Row 2-3 Minutes (wattage>1.25-1.50Xbw)
3 Rounds for Quality of
6 x Med.Ball Cleans (40/20lbs)
6 x Hindu Push-ups
12 x Abmat Sit-ups
-Individual Mobility Drills (5 to 8 Minutes)
*Review of Double-under progressions/technique

''Sebastian'' (10.04.2012)
Complete the following in as few intervals as possible of :30 on x :20 rest with the emphasis on executing Quality movements.
3 x Rope climb ascents
20 x Pistols (alt.legs)
25 x Knees to elbows/TTB (Strict)
20 x Parallette Shoot-Through Complex
25 x Goblet Squats (32/16kg)
20 x Push-ups (‘True’/CFGS)
25 x Slamball (40/20lbs)
20 x Bent-Over Dumbbell Row
25 x GHD Sit-ups
20 x Hip Extension
20 x Slamball Thrusters (40/20lbs)
15 x Sandbag Ground-2-Overhead

Notes: Each athlete would find tremendous benefit yielded to their training should they decide to take but a few minutes Post-WOD and scribble down any of those lingering thoughts or impressions kicking around the dome. Better than just that we would like to see our athletes keeping a solid log that details how (if) any of the movements were appropriately scaled today (remember: substituted movements aren't a replacement, they are a step in a progression of ability). 

While we are on the topic of brains; can anyone recall the acronym BDSM, define it and give some insight into it's ability to improve the learning process, especially after intense exercise? 
Liars, you all forgot. 
Search for a reference in the top left querry box should you find yourselves curious... Carrying on.
Rope Climb Scaling will be 1 Ascent = 3 x Hand Over Hand from the prone position to standing and back (midline must be held in a tight plank for duration to get the most out of this drill).
The Parallette Shoot-Through Complex begins with a Push-up in a forward lean position (hands on the parallettes, set at shoulder width), the athlete will then pull their knees to their chest and jump their body through the parallettes keeping the arms straight. Hips must be open fully once the feet land in front of the parallettes before completing one dip. Jump back through the same way for one complete repetition... repeat until morale improves markedly.
Those athletes that missed a significant portion of the week’s training are more than welcome to work through this Chipper for time; and of course there’s going to be a boobie trap waiting.
What’s the catch? Each athlete will only be permitted to continue slugging through the WOD provided any spells of ‘involuntary’ rest last less than :20 in duration. Normally we’d throw a Spoiler Alert in here and unveil any taxes/incentives that might be lurking; but where’s the fun in that?
Enjoy! Yesssssss…

Skill Development (10.04.2012)
**Optional**
Those feeling obscenely frisky today after enduring the celebratory ''Sebastian'' WOD may work through the following static hold challenges; simply continue the :30 on x :20 rest protocol where each work interval requires the athlete to accumulate as many seconds of each ‘hold’/drill as possible.
Rest :20 before moving onto the next movement.
Repeat 1-2 more times until confusion subsides.
1. Wall Walk into Handstand Hold
2. L-sit or Hollow Rock Hold
3. Flex Arm Hang w/ Tucked Knees (Supinated Hands)
4. Ring Support
5. Roman Chair (GHD Sit-up Hold)
6. Left Plank
7. Right Plank
8. Front Plank (continuous from elbows to hands and back down)

Note: Curious? Go ahead and give it a shot, but remember what we’ve been reinforcing lately about soreness, DOMs, training stimulus, adaptation, recovery, etc. Profound words to reflect upon: ‘’All Glory Is Fleeting.’’

--James Dickey

''Pain will help you understand things. Pain's not bad, it's good, it teaches you things. Like when you put your hand in fire, 'Ouch.' You know not to do that again.''

Saturday Schedule (09.29.2012)
8-9AM: CFNH Olympic/Barbell Weightlifting
**Details: Please respect the time these athletes and their Coaches have scheduled to work through individualized programs of specialized Olympic Lifting and traditional Barbell Strength progressions. Once our crew arrives the doors will be locked to allow those involved a focused opportunity to learn and train among peers as driven as they are to excel in CrossFit/Elite Fitness Capacity. At 9am we will open back up for Open Gym Mayhem.
9-11AM: Open Gym Hours
**Details: This is an opportunity for any of our athletes to come in and receive help conducting additional training in areas of personal underdevelopment, make-up any potential missed training from the prior week, or to face off with whatever hellish challenge has been presented for that 'Savage Day'. Get some, freaks...

Image (Above): Thanks to one hell of a Mom (and Dave!) we now have all of our climbing ropes officially mounted and ready to slay weakness. I've never seen nor heard of any other who possesses such a seemingly bottomless well of talent and the will to help (absolutely relentless!) as the infamous K-Purp... I can't help but look at her and think:

‘‘If Bonding Felt More Like Bondage’’ (09.28.2012)


Congratulations Justin and Kelsey!

Warm-up Drills (09.28.2012)
Row 2:00
2 Rounds for Quality of:
5 x Deadlift (45lbs)
5 x Hang Power Clean (45lbs)
5 x Front Squat (45lbs)
5 x Push Press (45lbs)
*Individual Mobility Drills (5-8 Minutes)

Notes on Mobility:
Any day of training where we know a complex or multiple variant list of Olympic movements are coming down the chute warrants more than a half-awake efforts akin to merely going 'through the motions' (Not to mention today involves a seemingly endless host of barbell movements throughout the Team WOD). There are many movements we can, and regularly do, experience in our training , with each of them representing uniquely different athletic abilities/potential which may in turn create a chain of performance or learning rate difficulties. In keeping these notes as concise as possible follow these few guidelines to ensure you are taking full advantage of your own athlete/fitness potential: Consistency in efforts is worth all the functionality and intensity you can find in any of the most profoundly challenging workout formats. Put in the time, and it will yield competency; such capable athletes competent in the lifts will then be able to finally experience the benefits of developing Powerful/Explosive traits in their athletic profile of capacity and abilities... Moving serious weight, after putting the effort in consistently to learning how, will provide countless benefits and advatanges to the highly competitive and recreational enjoyment based CrossFitters just as potently. In summation I hope you are all as haunted by the following words as I am:
'Attentiuon To Detail...'
Get after it, freaks!

‘‘If Bonding Felt More Like Bondage’’ (09.28.2012)
The objective is to complete the workload as fast a possible, through communication and teamwork, while also striving to best each of the other challengers per heat.
2 Rounds of Row 250m w/ each Teammate holding Front Rack KB Position when they are not Rowing (25m Penalty for drops/loss of position)
Then… Storm through the following chipper:
15 x HSPU’s or 30 x Mods/Scaled
20 x Deadlift (225/185lbs)
15 x Hang Clean and Jerk (135/95lbs)
30 x Ring Dips or 30 x Mods/Scaled
30 x Back Squat/20 x Front Squat/10 x Overhead Squat (95/65lbs)
10 x Snatch (135/95lbs) or 20 x KB ‘American’ Swings
50 x GHD Sit-ups/Abmat Sit-ups
20 x Thrusters (95/65lbs)
15 x Burpee Jump and Touch’s (Pull-up Bar)
*Insert Wallball Huck & Catch Tax Total here
*Insert any rowing workload here for being a blue falcon to your teammate and not completing the row in time…

Notes/Guidelines for Team Review:
In teams of 2 CrossFitters assault through the following workload as fast as possible; Score will be total rounds needed to make it through the challenges above where each round consists of exactly 2 x 1:00 Minute Intervals per athlete (4 minutes total), 3 x :40 Second Intervals per athlete (4 minutes total), and 6 x :20 Second Intervals per athlete (4 minutes total). Athletes will be switching off after each work/rest interval concludes; Strategy, Foresight, Communication, and many other principals governing productive teamwork will be left up to each team to establish (or not... and yes, of course this is a test). There is only one exception to this time schedule/interval format, please see the notes regarding that topic for details below.

Notes/Fore-warnings of Scoring Incentives & Penalties:
If a team has been unable to reach the end of the WOD by the time the final :20 second interval winds down then they’ve taken 1 full round thus far and will reset with the other remaining teams at the beginning of Round #2 with 1:00 intervals again (proceeding from the exact repetition that work was stopped upon). Despite the score what’s the big deal you ask? Every time a round finishes counting down through all of its intervals there is a Team Wallball Tax (cumulatively enforced as the challenge’s final task): 15 x Wallball Squat/Throws over the Pull-up bars (now Peter knows why I refused to lower them so far YESSSSSS).

Notes regarding the only exception to the above interval rotation per round:
The very first task each team undertakes will be against a lonely and diminishing 6 minute countdown. Within this 6 minute window each team's athletes much each complete two Rounds of a 250m Row; Failure to accomplish this will simply add a 500m Rowing interval as each team's final task to survive and persevere through. Making things more challenging than just a simple drag race against the countdown timer something we affectionately refer to as the Gym Jones’ infamous ‘Tailpipe’ team WOD. This particularly tough team challenge format will require each team's non-rowing athlete to perform a static hold with two KBs under control in the Front Rack position if their Rowing teammate is able to drive forward and proceed with their task. A tax?
Of course we can throw one in there for incentive to give it all you’ve got: Every time the KBs drop/position is lost adds 25 meters to the distance that must be completed on that athletes current interval.

Post your Teams Score in the comments section as # of Rounds needed to complete the challenge. If possible please notate how many ‘taxes’ were levied over the course of the challenge (as well as who earned them).

''Remedial Drag Factor & Newton Knows The Law'' (09.27.2012)



''Restlessness is discontent and discontent is the first necessity of progress. Show me a thoroughly satisfied man - and I will show you a failure."--Thomas Alva Edison








Warm-up Drills (09.27.2012)
Speed Rope x 2-3:00 (Cumulative)
2 Rounds of
20ft Duck Walk
20ft Crab Walk
20ft Bear Crawl
20ft Leg Kicks
20ft Lateral Lunges
20ft Inchworms/Hollow Support
-Individual Mobility (5-8 Minutes)

''Remedial Drag Factor'' (09.27.2012)

Those that missed out on the Tabata Mayhem or Yesterday’s training are encouraged to embrace one of the following two options (Yes, those that want to partake are of course welcome to)
Option 1: Weighted Chin-ups (Supinated Grip) 5-5-5-5-5
Option 2: 3 Attempts to find: Current Max Wattage Row (10 pull limit)

Notes: 

Warm-up with 3 Rounds x 250m (Build up pace during each round)/Rest between each round until heart rate and breathing are perceived to have recovered as completely as possible. Using no more than 10 Pulls (minus a triple pull-start) determine your maximum wattage possible.
If you’ve never attempted this before or are in any way not completely confident with your rowing technique then allow yourself to only produce as high of a wattage as you can while still maintaining the proper mechanics (someone should probably ask Beimer if he still has a bruise from his last effort). Safety is paramount and efficiency is literally the key. Get some

''Newton Knows The Law'' (09.27.2012)

3-5 Rounds of the following workload, each timed individually. Rest between each effort exactly half the amount of time it took to complete the round prior.
Run 400m
Then…
15-12-9 reps each of
Bumper Plate Ground-2-Overhead (45/25lbs)
Knees-2-Elbows

Notes: 

If you’re feeling a little frisky then 'Game On', freaks! During each round/segment of the WOD you'll be looking to work as hard as you can, pushing your individual boundaries of intensity; Especially the run.
There’s guaranteed rest intervals in there, take advantage of it and build yourself up through a constantly accelerating pace over the course of each round, the mental objective we learned early on is simply this: Every step quicker than the one previous, focus on working harder until you can taste the threshold of what's possible immediately upon crossing the finish line; it won't remain a threshold for long with a work ethic that powerfully devout.''
We know everyone is pretty sore, it's been a ruthless week... as prophesized.
Some of our crew went and endured the Full Monty over the last three days, but some others also strategically scheduled a little leisure time for recovery into their weekly outline (You’ve chosen…Wisely); with that in mind the guidance for today will be to feel yourselves out and begin practicing a more in depth attention to exactly how prepared to perform your body and mind are compared to their sharpest/best state. It can be just as difficult to force a rest/recovery day and ease off a bit as it can be to come in and throw yourselves face first into the fires of a CrossFit WOD every day. I could go on an epically long tangent in regards to this specific point, but we’ll be talking in depth about the critical importance (its all that matters, actually) of recovering from the powerful training stimulus our athletes endure regularly when we kick off the Paleo/Nutrition Class next Friday evening.
'So, 3 or 5 Rounds?' 
Here’s a simple but potentially insightful example of how to put your training data to immediate and effective use:
Providing you are working to the limit of your ability, and are resting half the time for each work interval before the next effort; then you can feel confident in leaning on your data for guidance by comparing each round's result/time. For today's training we'll use a 20% limit as the Foul (CFE Slang) cutoff mark; in other words if you see your times are getting slower by more than 20% it’s time to back off for the rest of the day, focus on mobility and recovery, and let your flesh mend itself into something stronger than it was before. Simple? Good. Get some.

''Bench Press 5-3-1+'' (09.26.2012)
Work through the following sets of Bench Press using the percentages outlined below. Novice level lifters should multiply their single repetition Press maximum by .9 and use the resulting number to determining loads. On the last set the '+' means athletes may attempt to exceed the prescribed number of repetitions if possible.

30 x Sumo Deadlift High Pull (95/65lbs)
20 x DB Reverse Walking Lunges (50/35lbs-alt.legs)
10 x Turkish Get-ups (24/16kg-alt.arms)

Notes: This should be awesomely 'grip-tastic'. It's almost magical how much heavier each round seems to get... What? Yessssssss.
Oh, and just a hint for the walking lunges forward and reverse; If you constantly feel you are falling sideways open the width of your stance and maintain the space between your feet during the walks forward and back. Keeping the feet close to in-line is a common practice that many athletes accidentally execute during lunges that add a serious degree of difficulty.
On an additional note, breaking the movement down into a mental game is highly recommended. Try thinking through the process of Step, then lower rear knee to ground while front knee remains BEHIND toes, Rise, Step, Repeat... This has two values in practice: 1. Reinforcing safe and proper body position through the lunges (avoiding the common 'knee slide' issue) 2.

''Weighted/Deadhang Pull-up Ascension Ladder & Gasshuku'' (09.20.2012)

“Why do you want to shut out of your life any uneasiness, any misery, any depression, since after all you don't know what work these conditions are doing inside you? Why do you want to persecute yourself with the question of where all this is coming from and where it is going? Since you know, after all, that you are in the midst of transitions and you wished for nothing so much as to change. If there is anything unhealthy in your reactions, just bear in mind that sickness is the means by which an organism frees itself from what is alien; so one must simply help it to be sick, to have its whole sickness and to break out with it, since that is the way it gets better.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

Every minute on the minute execute the prescribed number of Weighted/Deadhang pull-ups. On the first minute perform one Weighted Pull-up, on the second perform two Weighted Pull-ups, on the third minute perform three Weighted Pull-ups... Continue climbing up the ladder in this manner until the number of Pull-ups can not longer be completed in the one minute window of time allotted.
If you have a number for your 1-Rep maximum Weighted Pull-up use 50% of that load for this workout. If you are still scaling Pull-ups substitute in 1 x Deadhang Pull-up (modified as needed) for each Weighted Pull-up.

Continue in this fashion for as long as you can, doing everything possible to execute each effort 'unbroken'. Depending upon the level/instensity/proficiency/time constraints of each class and team we will be adjusting the total number of rounds, time cap duration, etc. as necessary so that everyone can have a great time with this training and still get a h@ll of a lot out of it.

5 x Deadlift (45lbs)
5 x Hang Power Clean (45lbs)
5 x Thrusters (45lbs)

-5 to 8 Minutes of Individual Mobility Drills

''Deadhang Pull-ups 1-1-1-1-1'' (09.13.2012)
Using Deadhang Pull-ups work up to a 1 rep maximum. Rest 2:00 before proceeding through an attempt at establishing the maximum number of strict, Deadhang Pull-up Repetitions possible 'Unbroken'.

Weighted Deadhang Pull-ups 1-1-1-1-1
Rest 2:00
Max Reps x Pull-ups (Bodyweight/Strict)

Notes: Use band progressions as necessary. Those that aren't ready for Deadhang Pull-ups will work through two rounds of 5-4-3-2-1 reps of their current band assisted Deadhang Pull-ups with strict form/execution. Rest as needed between efforts, breaking up sets as necessary; for scaling purposes 30 reps of strict form, no kipping Pull-ups are what we consider the priority today. Get some, freaks!

Notes:1-Rep Maximum/Percentage Calculator

''Karen's Got The Runs'' (09.13.2012)
Complete the following workload for time using as few sets as possible and partitioning reps/movements as necessary:
150 x Wallball (20/14lbs)
150 x Double-unders

Notes: Athletes may partition sets/reps/movements as desired over the course of this training evolution (much like our 'Choose Your Own Adventure' training format).
The additional booby trap found in this WOD is clearly the 200m Running foul, which adds time onto the athlete's final score but still must be completed before anyone is permitted to resume striving towards completing the initial workload.
Any time an athlete fails or stops a set of Double-unders or Wallball shots it earns them the Foul (Run 200m).
Personal approaches to strategy and an understanding of established strengths, weaknesses, and tools to circumvent performance limitations must become the primary school of thought today. Discipline and an objective yet driven mindset will most likely be that which prevails among the epic depth of testosterone driven competitive attitudes that have recently shown themselves in the area.
Good luck, freaks, it's about to get real.

**Additional Mobility as necessary.

Skill Development (09.07.2012)
**Spoiler Alert: Yes, today we're reversing our order of training to reduce the frequency of fatigue related 'epic fail-fall on your own face' situation that often accompanies any handstand skill training/strength training post-WOD**
I. For those that have full range of motion handstand push-up abilities already developed:
Handstand Push-ups x 5-5-5-5-5 (Scaled as necessary)
II. For those still working on the requisite confidence during inversion or strength to perform a strict Handstand Push-ups:
5-10 x Wall Walks or Kick-ups into a Handstand Hold against the wall (based on athlete's current confidence in the Handstand position)
15-25 reps x Current HSPU Mod at own pace

Notes: Option I is self explanatory. Option II will rely on the coach and athlete present to establish a challenging series of drills with the following priorities in mind: Develop strength through quality scaled ROM HSPU substitutes, if possible learn and practice moving into a supported (wall) inverted Handstand Position safely, with confidence, and an understanding of how to bail out if necessary. Yessssssss.

''The Art of Studentry'' (09.07.2012)
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps for time of
Front Squat (1xBW)
DB Snatch (alt.sides)
Pull-ups

Notes: Scale loads as necessary for Front Squats/DB Snatch. Pull-ups should be deadhang (no kipping) until each athlete has progressed to a point where deadhang bodyweight Pull-ups can be executed for 5-10 unbroken repetitions. DB Snatch reps each round are x 2; for example Round 1 would be 10 x Front Squats, 20 x DB Snatch (alt.sides), 10 x Pull-ups, etc.
