    WOD:

    Scott is a hard working impressive athlete. Kudos to all your work Scott. You look great! Keep it up.

    “Strict Lynn”

    5 Rounds:

    Max rep body weight bench press

    Max rep dead hang pull-ups*

    *Go with Band assisted if you do not have a dead hang pull-up. Use body positioning to maximize performance.  When pulling focus on your body staying inline by keeping your glutes (butt, ass.etc) active and rib cage engaging, by pulling down and in. Rips are typically caused because we lose this position and have to make adjustments with our hands which causes friction.

     

    Reminders:

    1.) 1.) Please return your auto pay forms ASAP. We want to get the information in the system, your dues will not be withdrawn until September 1st. Thanks friends.

    Bails got mad hops.

    Body Weight Prowler Sprint 100ft

    10 x 1

    The sled weighs 106 lbs and should be included when calculating weight.

     

    Positioning matters.

    Slowing down your movement and focusing on positioning will not only bring you a PR, but will also keep you healthy and ready to hit the WOD hard the next day. Make sure you are not sloppy in your movement; slow down, organize yourself (upright posture, tight core, stacked spinal cord, active butt), and maintain position throughout movement.

    Reminders:

    1.) Please return your ACH or Credit card forms ASAP. We want to get the information in the system, your dues will not be withdrawn until September 1st.

    2.) New On Ramp class started on Monday, August 22nd. The class will be run for 9 sessions.

    WOD:

    Coaches Randy, Joyce and Cindy with mobility and movement Coach K-Star.

    “CrossFit Total”

    3 reps of each lift to find max for all

    Back squat
    Strict Press
    Deadlift

    Please do your homework and come to the gym knowing your one rep max for each lift. Be prepared to move quickly through sets, resting only while your fellow Playgrounders are hitting the lift. Go hard, push yourselves and PR baby!

     

    We had an amazing time at the Mobility Certification this past weekend. This certification is a one day event. A wealth of knowledge has been sent our way by KStar, and now it is our job to transfer it all to you. We will try our best to come up with mobility stretches based on the movements we execute for the WOD. Look for it and get ready to get mobile.

    WOD:

    Eileen's T2B! Nice work girl!

    Push Press

    3-3-3-3-3

     

    A few tips to follow for the push press

    1.) Stance: feet are in jump stance/hips distance apart

    2.) Grip: shoulders distance or just inside shoulders, so barbell can rest on deltoids

    3.) Barbell is in rack position, with elbows out in front of body

    4.) Tight core maintaining upright when dipping down/bending at the knees about 1/4 squat

    5.) Drive up with the knees and open hips rapidly as driven the bar up overhead into lockout position.

    6.) When receiving barbell back in rack position for 2nd rep, catch with flex knees/cradle barbell as coming back down in rack to avoid crashing  your clavicle.
