Light and fast
Getting stronger is an integral part of CrossFit. Ā Challenging ourselves with heavier weights helps our bodies adapt faster. Ā The increased demands it puts through our system aids us in finding more efficient ways to move while recovering from this stimulus can aid in bullet-proofing our joints. Ā Sometimes, however, in the effort to challenge ourselves with weight we end up slowing down in our WODs. Ā This can sometimes be a good thing. Ā Today, we’re going for speed. Ā The rep scheme is purposely low and the weight on the swings is purposely light. Ā Make sure you choose your scale appropriately so you are challenged (it shouldn’t feel like a rest when you get back to your kettlebell) but can keep moving.

CF Medusa?

Lemus – I thought I told you I’d do it! But if you’re holding out for someone with better double unders, I’d understand…
SJ: 155#.
Wod: 10:09rx. Boy I felt the heavy deadlifts and weighted pistols I did yesterday once I started running. I’m not entirely sure that “sprinting” happened today.
SJ 95# … Def been working on form. This is 20# below my max but I’m not positive those even looked ok. I’m sure I was relying on a push then press out. Foot work and lock out are key here and both need some work…. One on one sesh set up needed/pending
WOD 11:40 Rx – love a good sprint in the morning š
SJ: 45, 95, 115, 135, 155, 175, 195, 205, 215
My split jerk form made gains today I feel.
WOD: 11:36 RX
Thanks, Olivia! You rock!
SJ: 90#
WOD: 15:58 Rx. Always kinda fun to have those rare occasions where I get to Rx it – even if they usually mean burpees. Great work from the 7:30 class!
SJ: 215# need to work on footwork. Doesn’t feel im being aggressive and foot work kinda eh.
WOD: 10:43 RX classic crossfit wod love it. Fun.
