Notes: 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 enjoyment is overwhelming.

Four police officers from a drug task force knocked on the door of 517 Post Road in Greenland, armed with an arrest warrant. But [the suspect] allegedly held them off with gunfire blazing.
Greenland Police Chief Michael Maloney, only eight days from his retirement, died Thursday. An autopsy showed he died from a gunshot wound to the head. The 26-year veteran of the force had served as Chief for 12 years. Sources tell 7 News he wasn't part of the team but was answering a call for shots fired when he was gunned down near his vehicle.''

Notes: A Slammy is a horrible movement we put together on accident this past weekend, it simply combines a Medicine Ball Squat Clean and a Jumping Slamball into one smooth and incredibly taxing movement with a range of motion that covers more distance per rep than any other we've seen. This is perfectly fitting for the level of misery we are looking for with this Hero WOD... Honor the fallen and the sacrifice their families continue to feel every day. Get some, freaks.

''Karen Gives Annie The Runs'' (04.13.2012)

**This extra potent version of the original WOD 'Karen Gets The Runs' was an inevitable close to this hellish week of training. This is just the sort of thing that has to happen when certain individuals simply can not help themselves and end up challenging established performance records in our house. Fight to the death. 3-2-1 Go.

Warm-up Drills (04.13.2012)
Run 800m
''Burgener Drill''
2 Rounds of
10 x Medicine Ball Cleans (40/20lbs)
10 x Push-ups (CFGS)
-Sumo Squats
-Scorpion Stretch
-Inch Worms
-Shoulder Mobility**
-Groiners (:15 min per side)


''Karen Gives Annie The Runs'' (04.13.2012)
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.

Complete for time:
Row 2000m Time Trial (Max Effort)
Rest 3:00
3 Rounds of
(Row 500m x :30 Rest)

Notes: Athletes need to take their 2000m Time Trial result and determine what the average 500m pace was during it's execution. Each of the 500m Rowing repeats must be completed with +/- :05 of the average split pace... Failing to do so is a Foul. 
What's a 'Foul', you ask? 
It's fancy for negative reinforcement, there will be a grab bag of surprisingly hellish penalties available for those who need the stench of fear to put out. 
This particular format of training can be incredibly beneficial to those willing to put the effort in. Like everything else, it's what you make of it. 
Naturally there's just nothing like a ruthless Erg session to kick off the day. Yessssss.

Post 2k TT times, 500m Split Average, and 500m Times to comments.

''A Cliffnote's Challenge'' (04.12.2012)
3 Rounds for max reps of the following:

1:00 x 1-arm DB Snatch (50/35lbs)
1:00 x Toes-2-Bar/Knees-2-Elbows
1:00 x Rest...

Notes: Each successful repetition is worth one point, including individual sides during the 1-arm DB Snatch sets. Scale TTB/K2E's to Leg Raises or V-ups as needed. Athletes possessing the requisite skill set will be encouraged (peer pressured) to substitute in weighted Pistols in place of Goblet Squats, where each rep per leg is also worth 1 point.
**Additional trivia for everyone: This mini WOD is but a tiny slice of the horrific yet awesome physical fitness battery called 'The Path Less Traveled Challenge'. I might be persuaded to post the actual event and the point system in the comments section as an example of what we can look forward to once the logistics of conducting training moves dramatically in our favor.

Deadhang Pull-ups x 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1
Unbroken Thrusters x 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
KB Swings x 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10

Notes: Reps descend during Deadhang Pull-ups as they climb higher for both Thrusters and KB Swings (Example: Round 1 is 10 x Deadhang Pull-ups, 1 x Thruster, and 1 x KB Swing).
Select loads for Thrusters that are challenging but can be executed Unbroken. 9-10am athletes please do your best to keep from dumping/dropping weights today.
Bringing a weight from lockout (overhead) back into a front rack position for a consecutive rep is almost it's own skill set based on the practice necessary for 'Unbroken' successes in training. 
KB Swings will be reinforced according to the standards established during the 2011 Games (which Tiff and Marcus were held to during their recent X's and Y's event); KB moves from hang all the way overhead without any re-dip of the hips (they must remain at extension until the KB's path is complete) and no forward droop of the weight will be allowed during the apex of its flight overhead.
Today some of our CrossFitters will be encouraged to substitute a Power Snatch in place of their KB Swings if they are currently preparing for a competitive event or wish to in the near future.
QUALITY FIRST! Enjoy, freaks.

Skill Development (04.11.2012)
3 Rounds for quality of
:10 x L-sit (Cumulative)

Notes: 15-20 x Hollow Rocks would be a very challenging substitute for L-sits if those that need to scale are looking for a little sting today. Reminder: a little extra attention to doing things well before doing things fast will have a profoundly positive impact in the efficacy of your training.

''Weighted Pull/Chin-ups & Molotov Kokktale'' (04.03.2012

I.''Welcome to Deadhang Pull-up Month''
Let us also clarify now that while it may fail to add any epic alliteration to the previous sentence we will be considering any version of a Pull-up fair game for this current month of madness, so technically it would be so much more appropriate to say: Welcome to the month where everyone will need to perform any prescribed Pull-ups, Chin-ups, Ring Rows, and Muscle-ups without any kip, swing, or momentum. Yes, Muscle-ups as well. Yes, every rep of every event in a training day is included as well. Creative and interesting methods of scaling will be provided in the notes sections for reference to those that have never had to scale this particular way before. Please feel free to ask for any help or assistance if these movements are of particular trouble for you to see gains in. Happy April.

II.''Our Training/Educational Emphasis, Conduct of Training as a Class, and Format of Instruction''
First and most importantly we are asking that everyone please arrive on time for your classes. Every day. This is universally expected across every athlete we have training with us. Latecomers will soon be required to wait for the following class as the type, quality, and frequency of in depth instruction surrounding all aspects of training will take on an immediate shift in emphasis and format. Don't stress too badly yet, Freaks, Thursday will be the first day holding all of our athletes to a full accountability over the attendance policy. If there are any questions or concerns about the expectations your Coaches will be articulating to each class please feel free to speak outside of class times with any of our staff or call/come see me directly (Samy).

Notes: Those that are still developing their Pull-ups/Chin-ups will be working through a combination of max rep band assisted Deadhang Pull-up Sets. Those that need additional help with methods and tools to use in developing the requisite foundation of strength for Pull-up and relative skill sets will be assigned specific 'negatives' ROM scaling options to work through.

''Back Squat 5-5-5+ & The Embassy Sweets'' (04.02.2012)

Marcus and Tiffanie could not have represented our crew here at CrossFit New Hampshire any better than they did this past weekend at the X's a Y's Garage Games Team Competition (Albany NY, Albany CrossFit).

Many more pictures of the mayhem will be coming out over the next few posts; despite the blurry resolution the picture today simply epitomizes the kind of awesome work and support our team put into the event for one another.

Overwhelmingly exciting to see this in person...
We find ourselves extremely proud of our athletes and consider it beyond lucky to be surrounded daily by 'this' caliber of athlete and person. Which incidentally seems to be what the rest of us are always striving to become... 

''You are the company you keep.''
 
CFNH is a community with more potential that we could have ever anticipated. And we're barely getting started.

Keep killing it, freaks!
