090626 - Friday

Hey guys, I won’t be here this afternoon because I’m going to Fort Worth for Brian MacKenzei’s CrossFit Running and Endurance Seminar. So, here’s the plan…

All my regulars will deadlift (1 set of 5, just like normal), and then do a short met-con.

Becca and Tayo will just stick with the met-con, and we’ll go through the deadlift next week.

The met-con will be 5 rounds for time of:

- 250 meter row

- 5 pull-ups

- 15 push-ups

Becca and Tayo will use the resistant bands in the two power racks that are bolted to the floor. If 5 to 10 push-ups aren’t doable off of their toes, then they can do bench dips.

You guys will have to figure out a way to share the rowers depending on how many people are there. If you have any questions, call me at 770-634-8768.

WOD

4 rounds for time of

- 10 DB hang power snatches

- 10 KB swings

- 10 air squats

Note: The original workout has wall-ball instead of air squats, yet the heat index was over 100, and it would have been…eh, difficult. We stayed inside instead of doing the wall-balls.

Masters WOD

4 rounds for time of

- 10 DB hang power snatches

- 10 Pull-ups

- 10 Push-ups

- 10 KB swings

Weekend Wrap Up

Mr. 500

Here at the Wichita Falls Athletic Club, we make people strong and conditioned. Sometimes, as with any sport, there are set backs; injuries, illnesses, a busy schedule, or inevitable zombie outbreaks. Well, in spite of progressively rehabbing a groin injury with squats, my friend Chris — whose team recently won the Cookout Competition — deadlifted 500 pounds for five reps. He now prefers to be called Mr. 500.
