Would like to give a shout out to the newest On-Ramp class.  They started this evening.  If you are doing the evening Open Class, give these folks some lloe and cheer them on as well.  I’m sure every one of you can relate to the first few On-Ramp WODs.  This is where having the supporting community helps keep one motivated.  Make them all feel welcomed!

No, you’re not seeing things.  As we posted a couple days ago, we are begining to program for 5 days a week.  So today is not a rest/makeup day.  It is an actual wokrout day.  Don’t skip!  You’ll get a lot out of today!

Skill

Handstand and handwalking practice

We will work progression of the handstand –

Kip up to wall

Can do that easy?  Next kip up but  just kiss (don’t slam into) the wall with your legs, try to control, gently push away and try to hold handstand,

Then move to kipping up to hand stand without wall, with spotter

If this is successful, we’ll try some handstand walking.

Prior to the WOD, we will work more on snatches, ie, do some high hang work – snatch balance work, ect…

WOD

For time

10/8/6/4/2 Handstand Push Up

alternated with

5,4,3,2,1 Full Snatch (95/65)

Watch the difference between the kid who doesn’t get very far and the guy who makes it all the way down.  See the difference?  Did the kid get active shoulders prior to going down?  No.  Did he tighten his core and keep his legs together? No.  This is not to put down this kid.  Hey, he’s trying!  But these are common faults when folks try going up into both a handstand against a wall or free-standing.  But how do we get better?  Do what he is doing and what the guy who made it all the way down did.  Keep practicing.

PRGRAMMING/SCHEDULE ANNOUNCEMENT

Posted: February 7, 2012 by totactfit01 in Uncategorized

We are going to be doing away with our Tuesday 1700 class.  We will continue to have our 1200 class on Tuesday, but that will be the only class for the day.

In addition, our programming will now be for five days-on, two days off per week as opposed to 3-on, 1-off, 1-on,2-off that we have been doing.

This means, other than the On-Ramp folks, Thursday will no longer be a make-up day, but an actual programmed workout day.

For further explanation, please speak to one of the head coaches.

Thank you for your continued support.
