The sumo version of our deadlift has been showing up more and more, so now that we’re getting used to this lift it’s time to start loading this up. At first, the sumo deadlift can feel a little weird and challenge our mobility. Once we get the hang of it though, it will allow us […]
Oh, the bear. Â If you’ve done this complex before, I really don’t need to say much more. Â If you haven’t, you’re in for a treat today! The bear complex is a series of barbell movements that is done seven times in a row without the bar resting on the ground. Â No individual movement here will […]
If you analyze any set of WODs that happen here and do a little math, you’ll see that there’s a range of “total reps” that will show up in any one workout. Â If weights are heavier and/or the WOD is meant to be shorter, there will be less total reps. Â When the weights are light […]
CrossFit workouts can take anywhere from a couple of minutes to well near an hour (or more, but we like you more than that =) ). Â Training across different time domains keeps things fresh and helps us avoid falling in to a rut or plateauing. Â As much as I love a good sprint or interval […]
Training our posterior chain is important to both sport performance and to the general functionality of our bodies, so much so that we generally put it under solid load a few times a week. Â Today’s RDLs might on the surface seem very similar to our conventional deadlift (another great posterior chain exercise), but they’ll be […]
If our intent with a WOD is consistent metabolic intensity, you’ll often see a descending rep scheme across rounds. Our workout today does the opposite – we’ll be adding two reps per round of our front squat. This provides quite a different challenge, one that becomes much more mental as the workout progresses. We know […]
