A Word from Shadow Coach Logan- 

There is a high volume of pull-ups in this weeks programming and we would like to remind everyone to take care of their hands. For some helpful tips Tabata Times has a great article on how to take care of your hands and calluses. You can find that article here.

Another great way to protect your hands is to use gloves, grips, or tape. If you don’t have gloves or grips here is a great video on how to tape your hands properly.

Take care of your hands folks!

Just wanted to take a quick minute to say thank you for letting me be a part
of the TOTF community for the past three years.  So many good things have
happened with this program, and none of it is possible without the great
community of like-minded athletes looking to better themselves and those
around them.  I am proud of what this program has done and have high hopes
for those that come after me to take it to even further heights.
Always be involved.  Always encourage.  Always strive to get better.

See you down the road,
Coach D


(to steal a saying from the TRUE Godfather of TOTF)

CAN!!!!

Xtra:

3 Sets:

Max Plank Hold

*Rest 2-3min between sets

When holding a plank, think about bringing pelvis to breast bone or using a “pelvic tilt.” Turning the pelvis under will round the back but be stronger for the core, very similar to a hollow body position.

WOD:

Every 10 sec for 1 min—1 Over Head Squat
-rest 1 min, increase weight and then…
Every 20 sec for 2 min—2 OHS
-rest 2 min, increase weight then…
Every 30 sec for 3 min—3 OHS

Score = total successful reps

Find weight you can handle for 7-8 unbroken reps.  Use that for the 1 minute round.  Make jumps from there.  If you miss a lift in any round, rest until the next beep.  Ex, I miss rep 6 of the first minute (1 rep every 10 seconds), I will rest through the 7th rep, and attempt again on the 8th rep.  If you fail 2 in a row, you can lower the weight.
