In typical Crossfit "Hero WOD" fashion, we honor the men and women who were injured or lost their lives serving their country. Here is a little background for this group of men.

"On Nov. 5 2009 at 1:34 p.m., there was an attack on soldiers and civilians at Fort Hood, TX. 12 soldiers and one civilian were killed and 43 others wounded. Spc. Frederick Greene, 29, of Mountain City, Tennessee, Pfc. Aaron Thomas Nemelka, 19, of West Jordan, Utah, Pfc. Michael Pearson, 22, of Bolingbrook, Illinois, and Spc. Kham Xiong, 23, of St. Paul, Minnesota, along with eleven of the wounded were active CrossFitters in the 20th Engineer Battalion, home to Lumberjack CrossFit."

We honor those brave men and women with this WOD.

Monday WOD 140106

Back this week for more snatch practice and CF Games conditioning preparation. Remember to go heavy on front rack walking lunges. These should be difficult to complete all 20 reps without dropping the bar. Most guys should be able to start around 115#. The conditioning portion of the WOD can be scaled to allow you to push right up to that "wall" during the 10 minutes. This should be intense.

If you plan to practice the Olympic section, get there by 11:15 so that you can get through the Strength portion in time. Let's plan to do the group conditioning by 12:00.

Warmup
400m run or 50 double unders
shoulder and hip mobility

Oly
1) 10 minutes to establish a 2RM snatch
    (from mid-hang position)
2) EMOM for 5:00
    3 mid-hang snatches @85% of max from #1 (hold for 2secs at bottom)

Strength/Skill
1a) 3xME UB C2B pull-ups - rest 90secs
1b) 3x20 (steps) front rack walking lunges - heaviest possible
      (sub DB lunges if necessary)

Conditioning
10 minute AMRAP:
  10 shoulder to overhead 135/95# (scale accordingly)
  20 TTB
  50 double unders

rest 90 secs
2 minutes of lateral jump burpees (burpee, then hop to other side of bar is one rep)

Thursday WOD 140102

Sorry this is so late... Back on vacation skiing with the student group from church in West VA. Gean put this together and I just posted so you guys would have a place to post results.

See you guys next Monday. Keep killing the WODs!


Warm Up
   Stretch
   400m run or 40 double unders
   10 pushups
   2 rounds of
      3 strict pull ups
      5 hand stand pushups or wall walks
      10 squats

Warm up on pull up bar and find WOD weight

WOD
Five rounds for max reps of:
    Bench Press
    Pull-ups


Notes
  • No time limit
  • Ideal bench weight for this WOD is body weight, but we’ll adjust as needed
  • Once a round is started, then it needs to be completed as fast as possible. The transition from the bench to pull up bar should be quick
  • Total number of reps is overall score.  Save weight and total reps for comparison when we do it again

Happy New Year!!! - Wednesday 140101

Happy 2014!!!

This will be a year of new challenges and accomplishments. Period! With the time off hanging around family and friends I've been amazed at the drive and individual motivation to accomplish and be a part of things that are bigger than themselves. I've also run across in my morning reading people who have written about their challenges and how they attacked them. Take time today to think about three things that you want to accomplish this year and come up with a game plan to hit them hard.

Just the other day I ran across a short article by Bill Henniger (owner and brainchild of Rogue) that peaked my interest and wanted to share. He's a man who had a vision and tackled it head on.

"Some day you will be sitting on the front porch in your rocking chair as an old man or woman and you may ask yourself, “Did I make an impact on something or someone in my life?”...
