Another great event coming from our good friends at CrossFit Artis! Info on the poster reads…
Come relive the 2014 CrossFit Games Open
The Open is notorious for its nasty, killer WODs, and 2014 was no exception. Want to see how you’d fare this year vs. last year? Have an Open “dream team” that you’d like to test out? Want to get tuned up before this year’s Open? You can choose to do all five workouts yourself or you can have a team of up to five people, each doing one workout. Registration is $25 per person, and includes a t-shirt. First heat of 14.1 will start at 8:00 am. Join us! It should be a “killer” day…
This one will be a doozy! Get out there and represent TOTF!!!!
Yup, you read that right, no scale for Double Unders.
Why? Because us programmers are meanies….just kidding…well, maybe not totally….. But seriously, the reason there will be no scale for DUs today is we want EVERYONE to work the double under SKILL. Doing Single Unders will not improve your double unders. It will help you get good body control…for single unders. But if we don’t give you practice in the movement of Double unders, how will you improve?….I have a feeling we will see a lot of first time Double Unders. You know what that means, right?….PR BELL!!!!!!!!!!
Xtra:
10 Min Muscle Up work.
If unable to do a MU, work progressions. If able to do kipping, work strict. If able to do strict, work on unbroken reps
What a BIG turnout we had on Monday! Love seeing this! Know what I love even more? Seeing this happen ALL THE TIME! You all showed you can make it to class. Now show me you can do it CONSISTENTLY!
CAN!
S/S/S:
Kip and Kipping Pull Up Progression Continued
Video courtesy of Gymnastics WOD. After the last two progressions yesterday, we continue on. In this progression Carl breaks down the Kipping Pull Up on the bar by building on the the Bar Kip to assist Pull Ups and to make them quicker. It’s important to take the time to practice this skill, especially the transition from the Kip to the Pull Up, and then from the push down back into the Kip. Transitions are where much of the magic happens, and often where most of the faults occur!
WOD:
For Time:
Run 1 mile*
*Every minute, stop and do 10 Air Squats
Scaling Options:
If you can’t run – Row 1600m

Our friends at Priority CrossFit in Altoona, IA are having a Team Comp on February 21st. Click on the image for more details. Looks to be an awesome event!….Would be even cooler if TOTF walked away with some hardware :)….
SO LET’S GET SOME TEAMS TOGETHER!!!!!
CAN!
S/S/S:
Kip and Kipping Pull up Progression
Videos courtesy of Gymnastics WOD. In this first progression, Carl Paoli breaks down a proper strict Pull Up on the bar and identifies proper positions as well as common faults. While this may seem like a simple strength base movement, it’s important to maintain control of your body positions throughout the full range of motion to be progressive.
In this progression Carl breaks down the kip (or tap swing) on the bar as a lead in to other skills. It’s important to focus on maintaining tension throughout the entire body and bow by switching between a globally flexed (hollow body) or globally extended (superman) position without breaking or bending locally to lose power or cause any stress.
WOD:
Front Squat/Box Jump Over Infinity Ladder
15min AMRAP:
Front Squat (185/135) For reps of 1,3,5,7,9,11…..
Box Jump Overs (24/20) For Reps of 2,4,6,8,10….
So the order is 1 Front Squat, 2 Box Jump overs, 3 FS, 4 Box Jump overs…so on and so forth
Scaling Options:
Front Squats – shoot for 75% of 1RM
Box Jump Overs – 20/16
Xtra:
Strict HSPU work for 10 min
Goal – perfect form and as many unbroken as possible
Pigeon Pose – 2x 1 min per side. Rotate leg every minute

Randy Simmons, 51, a 27 year LAPD veteran and SWAT team member was killed February 7, 2008 in the line of duty. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Officer Simmons’ wife and two children.
“Randy”
For Time:
75 Power Snatch 75/45
Scaling Options:
Decrease weight to manageable load
REMEMBER: Although we want intensity, if weight needs to be lowered to keep proper form, do so. Doing bad form on numerous reps just to say you went RX’d is about as smart as banging your head into a wall. Both will land you on the injured list. Injured = no workout = sad face = not getting fitter = frustration

Quick overview on Clean Technique. We will work out the kinks in class with you.
As mentioned yesterday, there will be no classes today, but get out and enjoy the day! It’s the start of a New Year so live it up!
As we begin the New Year, wanted to take this time to thank all the great volunteers that make TOTF possible. The effort and time you put into this program is huge beyond what you know. You touch so many lives and inspire so many. And thank you to all our great members. You are the reason these folks volunteer as much as they do!
So many great things have happened over this last year. From our successful local Throwdowns to having Coach Glassman make a great visit during Resiliency Week, this has been a busy year. And things are only getting better! Look over the Dec 31st post for the list of upcoming events. So much good stuff to kick the year off right!
We hope to see all your shiny, happy faces in here getting fitter each and every day!
