Monday/Tuesday homework

Time for a little testing! Many of you have been on various strength and aerobic programs, so over the next few weeks many of the homework assignments will be to get an idea of how things are progressing!

For Monday or Tuesday, your homework will be....

Row 2000m for time

The 2k piece on the erg is a common test. It's a great measure of strength, aerobic conditioning, and mental toughness! Make sure you warm up well, and include in your warmup some rowing sprints. Set the rowing machine monitor up to count down the 2k so we get an accurate time, and send me the results! If you know how to pull up the history on the rower, let me know your 4 500m splits too (if you don't know how to find that on the monitor, don't worry about it - I'll show everyone when we meet next).

Monday homework

Your homework for Monday is a modified hero wod:

Strict Daniel:

25 strict pull-ups

Run 300

21 strict shoulder press (85/45)

ROW 800

21 shoulder press

Run 300

25 strict pull-ups

Scale the pull-ups with bands, NOT kipping! Try to find a scale that allows you to do around 10 pull-ups in the first round. Scale the shoulder press so you can accomplish the 21 in 2 sets max, for the first round.

Monday Homework

First, apologies for not updating the blog more often - things have been so scatter shot for all our members with the Open workouts to plan around that there have been few general posts to make!

Time for some snatching! First, Make sure you get the class workout done! As a reminder, the regular NorCal class programming will always form the base of the comp club workouts. Everything else, the individual homework of squat programs, gymnastic programs, mobility, etc. is meant to fill in the gaps for each of you. But at the end of the day, you should all be good, general, crossfitters! And that's what the class programming achieves, so please make sure you're doing it!

For tomorrow, please handle your individual homework plus the following NCLab workout from a week ago:

30 Snatches 135/95

30 Snatches 165/110

10 Snatches 210/140

Obviously scale accordingly, but make sure you add weight throughout.

As usual, if we have set up an individualized workout schedule for you than the ones I post for the group (gymnastic, etc), do that one instead of this posted one.

Monday homework!

FIRST, HUGE CONGRATS TO JEN! She competed this weekend in the Moxie Madness comp and was amazing. Very proud! For those of you on an alternate program (for example, the gymnastic one I've set up for some of you), just continue that for this week. The following is for the club members that are doing extra WODs!

For Monday your homework will be to do the third wod from this weekends' Moxie Madness that our own Jen competed in! The workout is:

12 min amrap

10 deadlifts 205/155

20 double unders

60 yard sprint (done as 3 10 yard sprints down and back)

15 DL

30 DU

60 yard sprint

20 DL

40 DU

etc

Add 5 reps to each round for the deadlifts, and the double unders are always double the deadlift number.

WATCH YOUR BACK. Virtually every competitor this weekend rounded their back! BE SAFE!

I'll send out the rest of the homework later this week.

Because of the runs, this wod will take a little more room in the gym than usual - make sure you have the coaches approval to do this wod if you're doing it during class time!

Jan 27 - 29 homework

Because all of our members have been busy doing their own individualized homework, I have not been updating the blog. But now that several members are starting to do some more traditional workouts (many from the NCLabs), I'll start updating here again!

Monday
The class workout is 3 x 3 front squats and 3 x 3 push press. In addition, you should do the following NCLab workout:
10 minute EMOM
30 seconds 5 power clean at 125
30 seconds 3 squat clean at 125
The goal, of course, is to go unbroken for the various sets! Get all 5 or 3 each time!

Tuesday

The class workout is a 20 minute AMRAP involving cleans, toes-to-bar, and wallballs...and the numbers programmed are perfect for you to try to get them UNBROKEN!

In addition to the class workout, do five sets of max effort HSPU (kipping is ok) from a deficit if possible (hands on 45 lb plates ideally, if that is too difficult, go smaller).

Wednesday

We'll meet in San Jose to work on muscle up work (getting our first one, or stinging them together!) and possibly do some oly lifting technique.

I'll post the rest of the week on Wednesday
