This is a warmup taught to me at my CrossFit Olympic Weightlifting Cert by his son Casey Burgener – an Olympic Weightlifting champion. Then, you will get the chance to practice any move that you would like or any move that you are unsure of.

Also, come dressed up in a costume (one that is conducive to working out) because it will be our Halloween WOD!

Friday’s WoD

Posted: October 28, 2010 by zorrier in Uncategorized

5 Rounds of:

RxD 5 Push Jerk M:135 W: 85+ 50 Double Unders (If 135/85 feels too light for you aaaaaaand you have good form, you can go for 155/95)

***If your Power Clean is good, you can power clean the weight and then perform the 5 Push jerks (ADVANCE)

**If you don’t feel that confident yet with your Power Clean, you can use the Squat Rack to get into the starting position

Push Jerk Video 1

Push Jerk Video 2 (Push jerk perform after a Power Clean)

Push jerk (Benefit)

Push Jerk Scale: M: 115-95-85, W: 75-65-55

Double under scale is: 25 if you can do it, but is taken for ever. If you can do DU, you can do singles. 1 Double Under =4 singles so, you have to do 200 singles per round.

***In the future i am just going to allow the beginners in TCF to scale the DU into singles, everybody else suffer.

**I want all of you with your own Jump rope. Share jump ropes is like share underwear.

Trainer Review:

Alright champs this will be my full review of the book written by Robb Wolf (click the link to get info about him).

This is the second book I read about the topic, the Paleolithic Diet. The first book was written by Lorain Cordain in 2002 and was pretty good. So, the first question we can ask here is: This second book, is it bringing something new to the table? And the answer is yes and no. Yes, because it is adding some new info about the diet and brings a more simplistic (simplistic in a good way) approach, that makes it easier to read and follow if you want to start doing the Diet. I restarted doing the diet and after only 1 week I can see already the difference. No, if you already read the first book and you are already having fun with what you learned from that book. BUT, this book still adds some new info and explanations about how the body deals with this new way to eat. I would still buy it!

Robb Wolf has a good sense of humor during the book, so, even when he’s talking about some dense info, you don’t get bored at all. The book is itself a staring point for people who want to start and try this Diet and also start an exercise plan or, this new way to think about food. I highly recommend this book if you never read the first book, and I recommend this book if you already read the first one. Have fun reading this book and we can talk about Paleo Diet wherever you want.

Rose’s Review AKA Wife (also level One CF certified):

Whereas Loren Cordain focuses on eating this way for health and longevity solely, Robb Wolf adds a new dimension: he explores the notion that eating a Paleo diet can optimize weight loss and performance in the gym. Because he is the owner of a CrossFit gym and has trained clients for many years, he mentions in his book foods to avoid or moderate if you are trying to lose weight, such as limiting nut intake, cutting out fruits for a couple of weeks, etc. and exercises to do if you are new to working out – all things that Cordain never mentions. He also stresses that human beings are created for athletic performance – that each of us can reach the fitness level of an athlete and SHOULD. I don’t know about you, but this is quite comforting and inspiring to read! Finally, I think in general, Robb’s book is more specific (because since 2002, we have learned quite a deal more about the Paleo Diet and its benefits), practical, no-nonsense,  and laced with humor.

If you already own Cordain’s book, do you really need to go out and buy this one? No, not necessarily. However, I would at least go to Barnes and Noble or Books-a-Million one afternoon and skim through it – it does contain useful information that the first one does not have – especially review pages 197-270. Or hey, why not buy it? It’s not expensive, you can keep it as a reference guide, and there are some GREAT recipes included (Paleo pancakes and paleo pizza!!) Plus, it really is fun to read – many times I caught myself laughing out loud!

Wednesday’s WoD 10/27/2010

Posted: October 26, 2010 by zorrier in Uncategorized

AMRAP in 20 minutes of:

RxD WoD: 4 KB Swing (M:2 pood W:1 pood) – 6 Burpees- 8 V-ups

KB Swing Scale: Find you a weight that allow you to keep decent form during your work out.

Burpees: Check this out! Pay attention on the regular BP and also in the modification (knees down). You ca use that modification if you can not do a regular push up and you are hitting the ground too hard.

The burpee is performed in four steps:

  • Begin in a standing position.
  • Drop into a squat position with your hands on the floor in front of you.
  • Kick your feet back, while simultaneously lowering yourself into a pushup
  • Immediately return your feet to the squat position, while simultaneously pushing up with your arms.
  • Leap up as high as possible from the squat position with your arms overhead.

V-ups:

Any questions?

Enjoy!
