“Grunt Work” April 1st – June 24th, 2019 12 Weeks It’s time to get strong. Announcing “Grunt Work,” our first training cycle following the 2019 Open. In “Grunt Work”, we have the potent combination of two goals: Strength and Durability. There is no substitute for raw power in our sport. Yet with that raw power comes a responsibility--to take care of our body. Being strong is one part of the larger puzzle, but being able to use it is another. When we increase our raw power a

METCON: 21-18-15-12-9: Handstand Push-Ups Step Ups (24/20) Following the metcon…foam roll/stretch for the remainder of class. Despite the repetition scheme descending to smaller sets as we move along, we still want to be smart about our handstand pushups, and plan breaks depending on where we currently are with the movement. The plan may change a thousand times over, but visualizing the workout before we start, and thinking through logical, albeit rough, places to break is

Yes, there is A LOT of running today! Don't be a WOD dodger, because we will know who you are and we won't let you live it down. This is time to work on weaknesses and for most people that's running and/or cardio endurance. Bring your running shoes and headphones if that will help you get through this workout today.

Team, It’s been a strong five weeks. It’s time to give our bodies and minds a period to recover with a deload week. Even if we did not “compete” in the Open this year, by simply doing the workouts, we performed at a higher level. Our adrenals fired stronger, our fight-or-flight system has kicked in harder. Despite it being only five weeks, we want to recharge here. We're going to reduce our prescribed volume by about 60% this week. This deload week is also so that, in a wee

The burpees are “regular”, or maybe better said, not burpees over the bar. Looking for extension and the clap ove
