WOD:

Death by…

Deadlift 185/135

Box Jump 30/24

*once you reach failure, starting the next minute, you do that many box jumps every minute on the minute until EVERYONE is dead. So, first minute, do one deadlift, one box jump, at start of minute 2 do 2 DLs, 2 box jumps,…etc  GO until you cannot complete all reps in a given minute.  When you reach fail, for the remainder of the minutes, do the number of box jumps from your last SUCCESSFUL round (if I fail at round 18, starting the next minute, I will do 17 box jumps each minute) until everyone has hit failure on the WOD.

“Warrior” a worldwide fundraiser WOD for Tiffani Barber. In December of 2012 Tiffani was diagnosed with
stage 4 gliobalstoma, the most common and aggressive malignant brain tumor. She found herself at age 24 in the fight for her life. Tiffani coached at Carson City CrossFit and inspired many that came across her path. After diagnosed with cancer and her first brain surgery, Tiffani continued to coach and competed in the 2013 CrossFit Open. Tiffani kept coaching and CrossFitting until October 2013, showing her community that cancer wouldn’t
knock her down and she would never quit. Unfortunately, last week, the community lost this Warrior.  Tiffani had many tattoos to express herself and “Warrior” was tattooed on her arm nothing seems more fitting than to honor her memory with a “Warrior fundraiser”.   While we won’t have a donation bucket at the gym, if you feel compelled to donate, click here. All money collected will be donated to the Barber family to help relieve some of the financial burden. Picture above is Tiffani Barber with Camille Leblanc-Bazinet, courtesy of ABoxAbove.com

“Half-Karen”

For Time

75 Wall Balls (20/14)

This is another fundamental gymnastic movement. You can perform this on the rings or a bar. Use an overhand grip (palms away from you) at shoulder width to get more use from your lats.

Gymnastics is all about leverage, so the progressions are based upon how long you make your body. All progressions will have straight arms and try to get the hips level with the shoulders. The progressions are as follows:

-round back/legs tucked into the body
-straight back/legs tucked into the body
-straight back/one leg extended
-straight back/both legs extended in a straddle or V
-straight back/straight legs (ie a legit front lever)
