S/S/S:

Front Squat

4×3 @ 80% of your Back Squat 1RM

Post weight used to Comments/LogWOD

Front-Squat-Bar-position-560x411

Picture courtesy of CrossFit 714.  This pic helps illustrate the importance of elbow position in the Front Squat.  In the pic to the left, the lady’s elbows are dangerously close to hitting her knees which could result in a broken wrist or worse.  Her torso is hunched over, resulting in back strain, not to mention the strain on her shoulders by not having a shelf for the bar.  Also, her knees are out further part her feet, putting undue stress on the knees.  By correcting how high her elbows are (pic on the right), all those issues get fixed. 

Also, correct this position BEFORE you begin your squat.  Trying to correct form with a load already being forced against the body results in better position, but not OPTIMAL position.  That happens BEFORE you begin the move.

Video courtesy of CrossFit HQ.  Coach Rip going over body position in the Press.  When warming up, watch your partner to see if in their finish position, the bar, shoulder blade, and middle of their foot all line up.  If not, let them know what is out of line.  And have them do the same for you.

 

 

WOD:

“Matador”

6min AMRAP:*

Box Jumps (24/20)

Kettlebell Swings (1.5/1)

 

 

*Reps based off of Fran Time (told you to keep track from Tuesday).

 

 

Fran Time /Rep Count per movement per round

2-3min     /  14reps

3-4min     /   12reps

4-5min     /   10reps

5-6min     /    8reps

6+min      /    6reps

Score = rounds w/ reps noted

 

Post rounds completed to Comments/LogWOD     

In LogWOD, put your rep scheme in comments section of entry

 

So, if my Fran Time was 3 minutes, then I would be doing 14 reps of Box Jumps and 14 reps of Kettle Bell swings per round.  And, if my Fran time was 5:30, then I would be doing 8 reps of each move per round.  The reason for the breakdown of Fran time to reps is your body’s work capacity.  Those with the shorter Fran time have a higher work capacity, thus their rounds will have higher reps counts.  Goal is keep MOVING this whole time.  Get as many rounds in the time as possible.  Leave NOTHING in the tank, just like when doing Fran.

S/S/S:

Dead Lift

8×2 @ 50% of your 1RM plus a band

 

Post weight used and what band used to Comments/LogWOD

 

Video courtesy of Rogue Fitness.  Mark Bell demonstrates how to properly deadlift with bands. He’s using a barbell, monster bands, and competition bumpers at Rogue HQ. The placement of the bands is beneath his feet – as an anchor. He recommends this as a substitute if there is no station with pins for the athlete to train.

 

REMEMBER: The key for today’s Strength portion is SPEED!  You will start with a low load at the bottom and with the band, it will get progressively heavier the higher you go up, so come up FAST!  Now, this does not mean round your back, shoot your ass in the air and do a shitty stiff-leg dead lift.  No, it means keep your form on point through the whole movement.  Or, do shitty and go to the doctor, your choice.

For those who don’t know, this is one of the staple CrossFit WODs.  Your Fran time is the CrossFit equivalent to “How much you bench?”  The last time we did this one was 28Sept2012 (click here for a refresher)

It is imperative that you record your time.  Not just for tracking your progress, but also for another WOD coming up this week.  Which WOD, you ask?  Keep coming this week and you’ll see…

drea OH

gavin

Please come join us at 0900 for a special WOD dedicated to two people who were two of the biggest reasons we got the TactFit program up and running; Colonel Andrea (Drea) and Gavin Tullos.  Not only have they been awesome coaches, but the biggest supporters of our program.  They have been freinds, mentors, leaders to each and every one of us coaches.  It is with heavy hearts that we wish them well on their next assignment.  You will be missed.  BUT, before they go, one more WOD….

 

WOD:

 

“CAN!”

 

Any of you who have been around Gavin know that he was the one who started that saying that was on our original shirts.  It’s a battle cry for stepping up and doing what has to be done.  Using positive energy to motivate you and those around you.  CAN!

You’ll have to show up to see what the WOD entails.  It’s a surprise for them and you.  Only clue is…it’s a TEAM WOD!!!

baby tactfit

Ariana Gundrum – CrossFit Games Champ:2033.  So, seeing this pic made me think, what other clothing items are you guys interested in us trying to get?  We’ve done shirts, tanks, shorts, hoodies.  What else do y’all want us to come up with?  Post in comments on on Facebook.

WOD:

4 Rounds, not for time:
-2 Deadlifts (400/245)
-2 Back Squat (300/185)
-2 Clean and Jerk (200/125)

Post weight used to Comments/LogWOD

If the prescribed (RX’d) weights are above your 1RM, then use 90-92% of your 1RM for these lifts

Goal is to go from one move to the next per round with no more rest then it takes to walk from one bar to the other.  Yes, that means this WOD will take 3 bars.  Since it is not for time, you will team up with someone.  Your rest time will be however long it takes to change weights between lifters and however long it takes your partner to finish a round.  For the Jerk, you can use either split or power (push) jerk.

Cash Out:

-Mash Party – 5 min on tight spots

-Spine decompression- hang from pull up bar for 2 minutes

Firebreather Piece (Done on your own outside of class time):

3 Rounds Not For Time:

Deficit Handstand Push Ups: Set plates where your hands will land.  You can star with 10#, work up to 25s or 45s, or stacks.  Or, use the sturdy parallettes
