Reid F. floating on air...or working on his double-unders!
There have been a few athletes asking lately if they can come in early and/or stay after class to work on things like double-unders, kipping, handstands, etc...well, the answer is YES!! You can always come in 10 minutes before class or stay a few minutes after to work on your skills and/or mobilize or do drills. In fact, we encourage you to do so! We're not saying come an hour early for class or stay and do pull-ups for 20 minutes after a WOD, but we do want you to use your time at the gym efficiently, and if that means honing in our your skills, DO IT! Carlos and I are always around to answer any questions and help guide you towards that effective kip and we love, love, LOVE when you come in and ask us for mobility suggestions! Remember, practice makes perfect!
Workout for Mon, March 05, 2012
On the minute, every minute, for 12 minutes:
Thruster x 2 reps
(take the weight from the floor for every rep)
(build the weight as you see fit – the goal is to move as much weight as possible in the 12 minutes – do not count failed attempts, simply sum the weights successfully lifted over the course of the 12 minutes/24 potential lifts);
Rest exactly 5 minutes, and then,
On the minute, every minute, for 12 minutes:
20 Double-Unders + Max Reps Push-Ups
(Be smart here!!! The goal is max number of push-ups completed at the end of the 12 minutes, but consider how many you want to complete in each minute – going to failure early on is not the best strategy.)
(You will post two scores – one for thrusters, and one for push-ups – i.e., Thrusters = 3840 lbs., Push-Ups = 206 reps)
