''Frozen Shoulder Syndrome'' (01.27.2010)

Everyone at the Stable knows Dewy is a seriously dedicated CrossFitter.
It's evident in the way he throws himself into the fires of the WOD every day, always striving to exert himself to the max regardless of what each task might be or the potential pain associated... This type of mental disposition is something we recognize and respect, as it's what drives people like Dewy to new levels of achievement, it's what lets him come away from each trial by fire a more capable, proficient and fit athlete.
Congratulations, Dewy, we can not wait to see where you take this thing next.

Warm-up Drills (01.27.2010)
Row 500m (Damper Setting on 7)
9 Fundamentals x 7 each (45/20lbs)
Shoulder Dislocates (PVC)
Row 500m (Damper Setting on 4)

Notes: Find and record your power ratio for each 500m Row Interval. To determine your power ratio (for a particular distance, damper setting) take your avarage watts produced over the work interval and divide it by your bodyweight. Make sure you continue to collect this kind of information, as a small 500m Row piece will not provide you with the same quality of information that average wattage over a 3 or 5km would.

The links below will bring you to a series of video clips in which Adrian Bozman (a Coach/Trainer for both San Francisco CrossFit and CrossFit HQ) provides a wealth of insight into developing the pistol. These video articles are being shared through the CrossFit.com site as a publication of the CrossFit Journal. Poking around in the archives or exercise demo section on the Main Site will always be an excellent way to learn.

Swim: 10 x 100m/y holding fastest possible pace without deviating more than 5 sec... 15 sec recoveries.
Bike: 4 x 2 mile hill repeats, holding fastest possible pace and not deviating more than 1 min per repeat. Recoveries are, how long it takes you to come down the hill. If you do not have a hill then use tension on a trainer or ergometer with steady/ heavy tension.
Run: 2 x 3/4 - 1 mile hill repeats holding fastest possible pace without deviating more then 1 minute and recovering 1 min before descending hill easy. Repeat after 1 min recovery at bottom of hill... treadmill use 7% grade, recover 2 min and repeat.

Notes: Perform a Burpee Pick-up with your chest centered over a bumper plate or odd object on the ground (25/45lbs in this case). When jumping your feet from the prone push-up position towards your hands grab the item and take it anyway possible from ground to overhead. Bring the item back down and place it beneath you, moving directly into your next Burpee Pick-up. A dropped object from any height negates the previous repetition.

''Tabata Thrash-Up II.'' (01.20.2010)

Stable News
Opening the gym on Tuesday was like falling down a rabbit hole. Blinking several times and rubbing my eyes did nothing to diminish what I assumed was an early morning hallucination ... somehow our two lonely plyo-boxes had procreated overnight.
For CrossFitters to question such a miracle would have been blasphemy, instead our morning crew put these wooden wonders to use the best way possible; for time. The post-wod decision was unanimous, the boxes were absolutely not mirages. Everyone's legs agreed.
It took a bit of sleuthing but I finally learned who had gifted us these tools of our trade; Walter!
Walter trains with the dedicated athletes in our late afternoon Pain-Circus, and we all owe him a serious, ''Thank you''.
Expert craftsmanship skills are immediately evident, each box is heavy duty enough to easily withstand all the airborne hatred our athletes can produce. We can't thank Walter enough for the time and effort he spent helping take our facility to a new level.
Our family here at CrossFit New Hampshire has become something very special;
A unique community of athletes built around and drawn to distinct qualities of character rarely encountered among our peers in other venues of society.

Saturdays from 9-11 would be an excellent time for our CrossFitters to work in a short strength/skill day to help establish some baseline information, which can only help us add new depth to the effective specificity of our training.

''Homework'' (01.01.2010)

"From time immemorial, mankind has struggled for existence against the hazards of the elements, wild animals, pestilence, and a common enemy, fellow man. The determining factor in his ability to cope with the environment has rested largely up on the individual's own physical prowess, mental alertness, and general well being, for history records the story of a survival of the fit."
