WOD: Push Jerk: 5-5-5-5-5 3 rounds of 4 minute AMRAP w/1 minute rest:5 Ring Dips5 Toes-to-bar5 Squat Cleans 95/65 Score is cumulative rounds. When each 4 minute AMRAP starts pick up right where you left off. Post results/thoughts to comments It was awesome to see so many folks in today. Everybody did an awesome job and your jerks all got a little better today. For those who are new don’t worry about feeling a little overwhelmed with the movement, it will come with time. Way to tear up the interval workout. Hope to see lots of you tomorrow for a fun one. Cheers. Nate getting a little more comfortable with the push jerk A stacked class at 5:45 PM – Jade

So myself and Dani, Kristi, and Courtney headed down to the Garage Games competition at CrossFit New England this weekend. The 3 ladies competed while I was on the sidelines spectating/coaching. All 3 did an absolutely amazing job. I strongly encourage you all to get into doing some competitions, they are tons of fun, and give you a great idea of where you are, where you were, and where you can be. We are doing the team competition in Milford, CT next month, and then doing the final individual event in Boston at CrossFit Southie the beginning of November. I encourage you guys to attend the event in Boston and if another team wants to be fielded for the team event we could do that as well. Again amazing job to the ladies, they did great, and after a screw up in the…

WOD: Work Your Weakness Strength: 20 minutes (Pick 2 movements. These movements must be strength based. Pick a rep range between 1-5 and a weight, if applicable, to match the rep range. Perform the 1st movement for the given rep range every-minute-on-the-minute for 10 minutes and then move to the 2nd movement, performing the given rep range every-minute-on-the-minute for 10 minutes.) Work Your Weakness Met-con:  12 minute AMRAP (This must be a couplet. So pick 2 movements, pick the weights where applicable, and reps ranges for both the movements. Perform an AMRAP for 12 minutes with the given movements, weights, and reps you have chosen.)

WOD: Snatch Balance: 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 12 minute AMRAP:2K RowMax Double-unders Post results/thoughts to comments Snatch balance, we haven’t seen this one in a little while. For those of you who have been struggling with the overhead squat I applaud you for stepping back and working on the overhead squat and not jumping into the snatch balance. The snatch balance is a great movement, but without a fully developed overhead squat I personally don’t think it is worth doing. For those of you with tight shoulders, keep working those stretches, the overhead squat will become WAY easier if you can get your shoulders looser. Keep up the great work and we’ll see you tomorrow.
