Using our strength

Nick | 10/15/2014 | 6

That’s right – strength dependent loading!  This is one of my favorite ways to approach the idea of having an “Rx”.  In medicine, your “prescription” is something specific to you and what you need, not a one-fits-all treatment.  Today’s WOD is the same – we’re looking for you to load the bar with (or moreover, keep the weight on the bar from) your 1 rep max strict press.  Knowing that this is the most weight you can put overhead with just your upper body we’ll be putting the appropriate loading into the legs which will have to take over to drive the bar up 5 times each minute.  Get as much out of those cannons as you can, your upper body will have already put it solid work by that point.

PARKOUR!!!  Constantly varied means being ready for anything. So whether you are bounding over desks in your office or dreaming of becoming an American Ninja Warrior, On Saturday, October 25th from 11:30am-1:30pm CrossFIt Fenway is hosting a Parkour seminar! Parkour is the physical discipline of training to overcome any obstacle within one’s path by adapting one’s movements to the environment. We will have three professional Parkour instructors on hand. These guys really know their stuff and have worked with CrossFit Games athletes to add some constant variance as they prepare for the unknown and unknowable. The seminar is capped at 30 people and is $50 to attend. All are welcome, so please invite friends and family, but space is limited, so e-mail Mandy to sign up! See you Ninja Warriors there!
