Don't loose your head.

L.O.C
Make up a lift you missed if you missed the total last week, or alternatively look at power snatches, power cleans or push presses.

Swings or T2B

Lift of choice-work on a weakness, if you feel all you have is weakness then you need to squat more.

F.O.M.Y.C.
in the first minute run 100 metres then for the remainder of the minute perform as many swings or toes to bar as possible, at the end of the minute run again until either 50,75 or 100 have been performed.

CrossFit Total

Apologies for not blogging for a couple of days, tuesday and wednesday saw people either playing catchup with The Chief or doing slightly longer bodyweight orientated workouts. Yesterday saw the CrossFit Total, a one rep max for the deadlift, shoulder press and back squat. these are then added together as a cumulative total, 3 attempts on the one rep max were allowed.

It's pretty important to not spend the day prior to these lifts cogitating on the outcome of what faces you. The majority of the time our athletes have no idea what awaits them at CFH (surprises are fun!) But for the total prior warning was given so rest days could be taken as necessary if so desired. For our newbies it was good practice and constructive, for our not so newbies it was heavy! Well done to all-very proud of you.

Goat day

"Train your weakness, live your strength".
What happens when we do the opposite of this? Only working what we favour because we feel we're better at it. If the doctine from the last Crossfit Games is "the unknown and the unknowable" how does it relate to our clients?
Some of our guys are great at some slower movements (squat and deadlift) but lack the speed and flexibility to get under the bar for our more dynamic actions, some are quick but lack co-ordination and are less strong. It's important that we spend time focussing on our bad stuff. I know it sucks but it needs to be done. P in our picture here has come from a triathalon background and is finding that the specialisation of these long slow distance events has left her with a few issues in her squatting. Post what's wrong with her squat to comments please.
