Champlain Valley CrossFit – Fitness: Friday, April 13th, 2018

*We are changing our client management software HERE WOD: 1) Every 2:00 x 7 sets: 3 Bench Press + 5/side Single Arm Dumbbell Row Warm-up as needed. Start around 60-70% of your 1RM for the Bench Press and build as deemed fit. For the Dumbbell Row pick a tough weight and stick with it for all 7 sets. 2) Every 1:00 x 6 sets: 20-30 seconds Hollow Hold Quality over quantity. A really tight Hollow Hold should be super tough to hold for 30 seconds. 3) 10 minute AMRAP: 15 Calories Ski/Bike/Row/Run 12 Push-ups 9 Thrusters 45/35 Extra Work: 4) Single Leg Hip Thrusts: 3 sets of 12/side Rest 90-120 seconds between sets. Focus on positioning, likely no load needed for most. Perform all reps on 1 side before switching to the other. For results post detailed weights, reps, times, thoughts, etc. for all work completed HERE

*We are changing our client management software HERE Active Recovery: The goal should be as much as possible of the following below. Thanks to CrossFit Invictus for posting this. A. Aerobic Restoration 25-40 minutes of one of the following performed at 60-70% effort – easy, restorative pace: * Swim (this is my first choice, and if you have an ocean, even better) * Row (focus on mechanics, smooth and efficient with a very low stroke per minute pace) * AirDyne (keep the pace conversational and relaxed) * Cycling (get outdoors and enjoy the scenery as you ride) * Hike (nothing crazy here, find a nice easy slope and go for a walk outdoors) NOTE ABOUT ACTIVE RECOVERY – The activity selected must be restorative for you.
