Champlain Valley CrossFit – Tuesday, April 22nd, 2014

*OLYMPIC CLASS WILL BE CANCELLED THIS FRIDAY @ 3:30 Pre-Class: 1) 20 minutes EMOTM: Odd, Muscle-up, Even, Pistol Squats Keep reps at something you can maintain. If you don’t have  a Ring Muscle-up than work on something that will get you one, don’t sub a Bar Muscle-up. Pistol Squat should be no more than 5 reps/leg/round. If you’ve got a super fast/solid Pistol squat work a variation, i.e. weighted, overhead, etc. Class: 2) Snatch: 1 reps EMOTM for 20 sets Start at approximately 60% of your 1RM Snatch. This is a de-load week, the goal is to not necessarily work heavy, but instead get some really tight, fast, solid lifts in. If you’re feeling on the money though, go for something heavy. While a video for the Clean, like Burgener says in the beginning the mechanics for both the Clean and Snatch are pretty much the same, just a matter…

*WOD PATHS: An Explanation Of Our New Programming Structure HERE Active Recovery: The goal should be as much as possible of the following below. Thanks to CrossFit Invictus for posting this. A.Aerobic Restoration25-40 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. It can also be an opportunity to work on a skill (like swimming or rowing), but the effort expended should leave you feeling energized…
