Today the morning class got to try their hand at a CrossFit Football workout. The evening crew was slated to get a taste of it too, but because of the rain we were forced to substitute the running.

Weighted Situps, Good Mornings, and Planks

Today was Talissa’s first day back, fresh (she got hosed down) from her mud run in California.

T hearts her ball

WOD
5 rounds for time of:
30 Weighted Situps (20/30 lbs)
25 Good Mornings (35 / 45 lbs)

~then~

3 minutes of holding a Plank and
2 minutes (per side) of holding a side plank

The slight slope of our floor, while slightly annoying when working with a barbell, came in handy today as everyone had to do their situps with their heads pointing downhill.

John also qualified as the lucky recipient of the weight vest. Since doing situps on the weight plates of the vest was unpleasant, he added the appropriate weight to his situps and good mornings, and put his vest back on for his planks.

Chris 16:34 Rx
T 20:41 Rx + 45lb goodmornings
John 24:05 Rx + 20lb
Wil 19:04 25 lb situps

Nicole

Wow - another pullup-centric day! Luckily all this work is fitting nicely into the 100 pullup challenge. How is everyone doing on the challenge, by the way?

We started with some fun challenges - max pushups in one minute, and tabata situps.

Then it was time for the WOD:

“Nicole”
As many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:
400 m sprint
Max pullups

Note your pullup scores for each round. If you are on the bands, use the lightest band possible - no switching.

Fight Gone Bad in South Philly

Today we hit a classic workout, “Fight Gone Bad”. I took an opportunity to introduce a new standard and also to mix things up a little.

Fight Gone Bad
The clock never stops - one minute at each station for total reps:

  • Wall Ball Shots (M-20/W-15 All must hit 10′ target)
  • Sumo Deadlift High Pull (M-75/W-55)
  • Box Jumps (20-24″)
  • Push Press (M-75/W-55)
  • Ring Rows

The women did a great job with the new 10′ target standard for wall ball. Everyone pretty much agreed that the ring rows sucked - but they hit ‘em hard anyway! Nice work as usual, team.

Hang Squat Clean and L-pullups

This was a tough one -especially for Pete. Pete was the first lucky recipient of the weight vest in the weight vest challenge. Every day one person’s name is drawn and they must wear the weight vest. If they aren’t there, their name is banked and they have to wear it the next time they’re in. Despite being horribly sore from Tuesday and almost not coming in, Pete took the vest like a champ.

WOD
5 rounds for time of:

  • 9 Hang Squat Cleans (155/105 lb)
  • 9 L-pullups
  • Sub tuck pull-ups or strict pull-ups (assisted or unassisted) for Ls if you need to.

    Chris 16:30 115
    Jean 18:34 55 / green band
    Goose 20:32 55 / blue (4) and green (1)
    Pete 19:36 75 / green / 20 lb weight vest
    Jason 23:32 115
    Pat 24:06 135
    John 24:41 115 (hang split cleans)
