Champlain Valley CrossFit: Tuesday, October 25th, 2011

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.) Post results/thoughts to comments I can’t say enough about how amazing you are all. You all come in and kick ass each and every time you walk through the door of Champlain Valley CrossFit. I saw a few interesting movements…

The Garage Games: CrossFit Milford Team Event

Just wanted to say that I had an absolutely awesome time with the rest of the Champlain Valley CrossFit team down at CrossFit Milford this weekend. The whole team did an amazing job, and it was an honor to be able to compete with them. The team did awesome and we ended up finishing 4th out of 45 teams. It was a great learning experience for each and everyone of us, and I’m looking forward to going to the CrossFit Southie Garage Games with all of you that signed up. Cheers. End of the weekend…Pre Trevors tie breaker Fran Off – Jade

WOD: Thruster: 3-3-3, 10-10-10 4 rounds for Max Reps:1 minute Sumo Deadlift High-pull 95/65, 65/451 minute Push Press 95/65, 65/451 minute Rest Perform 2 rounds at the first weight, then strip the bar to the second weight for rounds 3 and 4 Post results/thoughts to comments Great work today everybody. Way to push some heavy weights around on those thrusters. It seems to be happening often these days, “oh that doesn’t look that bad,” followed by shoulders blown up and folks laying on the floor 🙂 Great work on the met-con, never underestimate anything on the board, often the easiest looking stuff is often the hardest.
