PANIC BREATHING

This is a partner WOD. The team will perform a 5-1 row. Alternating one after the other, partners will perform time trial rows: 500/500, 400/400, 300/300, 200/200, 100/100. Every row is to be performed at MAX intensity. While one partner is rowing the other will be “resting”.

The “rest” is completed with two kettlebells in the rack* position (24/16kg). The “resting” partner will rack the bells at the beginning of their partner’s row and will unrack them at the end of the row. Unracking of bells before the end of the row results in a 5 burpee penalty for every offense.

PaleoRx 2014 Details

Plan to hear about this over and over!


Nutrition is important to reaching your goals. Depending on what those goals are determine which paths you can take. As those who continually test work capacity, rest, and recovery, we definitely want to consider how the types of fuel you feed yourself determine how you look, feel, and perform.

For those who are just getting into exercise, those wanting to change body composition (see: lower body fat), improve energy and clarity, and perform better, we suggest the Paleo diet.

If I may quote World Class Fitness in 100 words:
Eat meat and vegetables, seeds and nuts, some fruit, little starch, and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that support exercise but not bodyfat.
The paleo diet is simple, but let's remember: simple does not necessarily mean easy.

Instead of focusing on what to rid yourself of, we want you to fill yourself up with more of the good stuff: real foods consisting of quality proteins, fresh leafy greens, monosaturated fats, a handful of fruits, and other vegetables not called carrot, celery, and onion.

Let's try to reset our health through cleaner eating. The challenge starts on Monday, April 28th and ends Sunday, May 25th for a total of four weeks.

click to enlarge!

Registration opens this Saturday and stays open for about a week. Registration is $30 and includes a limited-edition t-shirt.

If you are interested in a more in depth conversation as to what the challenge entails, attend our casual PaleoRx meeting this Saturday April 19th at 12pm, at FCF.

See you all there!

Come in today for some heavy loaded carries as well as sleds, then test a 1 mile run time trial. Be sure to have proper gear for running in the rain if the weather turns.

What's the Best Strategy for Box Jumps?

Bobby B's box jump

With all the strategy/tips that have popped up online for the CrossFit Games Open, most people have more success with the step-up over the box jump, but what about the classic FGB-style workouts?

The actual box jump has been the default (and describes the actual action), but comes with the risk of missing the box, "shinning", swinging your hand into the box, and some injuries to the back, knee, and lower leg (foot, achilles, calf, tib ant, etc.) Think of sports like basketball where there is a high volume of jumping and landing, but form isn't paramount. Along with other reasons, we see injuries to the foot, ankle, and knee. Search around and you can find some great discussions about RGIII's and Kobe's mechanics and why they were both injured.

I was a proponent of the actual jump (since that's what it's called!), but find that the step-up is more efficient, safer, and scores better over longer sets. The box jump is great and can be used if your mechanics are strong, but the risks outweigh the rewards in longer conditioning pieces.

We will introduce a jumping cycle in the middle of summer to build the proper capacities (not just technique, but strength, mechanics, tissue-strength, and more).

What do you think?

HellaFit

Join us today for a taste of the new HellaFit fitness classes down at CrossFit SLU. These classes will be the basis of our upcoming collaboration with the Cody app!


These HellaFit classes can be seen as an express version of a class- little to no equipment with more simple but effective movement.

The focus of this class is to provide fitness training in a group setting for members that want to emphasize an increase in energy, movement, and fat-loss, as well as better mobility. The main difference between this class and our main CrossFit class is that HellaFit does not involve strength-training in the program. Barbell movements (think of our STRENGTH portions of our day) are not taught in this class. This are completely inclusive and meant for everyone to participate.

Enjoy tomorrow as the last day of our Deload week. Monday marks the beginning of Max Week!

Things we'll test:
  • 100 pullups for time
  • 30 muscle-ups for time
  • a heavy deadlift
  • FIGHT GONE BETTER (wall ball, box jump, power snatch, row)
  • 1 mile rack walk
  • 1 mile run
  • 2010 WA State Sectionals Individual Event #1 (run/shoulder-to-overhead)
  • CGO 13.3
Otherwise enjoy your weekend and see you next week.

FCF Athlete of the Month is...

Gavian has been a hard working athlete since he entered our gym late 2013. He's become April's Athlete of the Month because of his eagerness to work, and for the fun he has in class!

Gavian W yoking

How did you find CrossFit?

I had a gym membership and a regular appointment with a personal trainer but there wasn't the community aspect to it that I was used to from doing team spots. CrossFit had a reputation of being a fun, open, encouraging community an that is what drew me to it.

How long have you been working out with FCF?

Since October 2013 with a nice gradual ramp up in frequency.

What class time do you frequent?

7:30 PM usually but I like to get in earlier if I can. All the classes are awesome but 7:30 seems to be the serious getting it done class!

Do you have a favorite CrossFit exercise? Least favorite?

Squats are awesome because I can do them, burpees suck because burpees suck.

What keeps you coming back to the gym?

I was coming to lose weight, now I go to move weight. Ha! I like the atmosphere, it's fun, and I feel great afterwards no matter how dirty the work out was. One thing I like is that I only have to focus on showing up - everything else is taken care of once I get there.

Any outside-the-gym activities?

Running, biking, Paleo.

Favorite motivational quote?

“Your time is limited, don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living the result of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other opinions drown your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” - Steve Jobs
