Tuesday 9-27-11 WOD

5 RFT

135 # squat clean x 7
15 HSPU (handstand push-ups)
20 sit ups


This is what Greg Glassman, the founder of CrossFit Inc., says about the handstand push-up.

"The handstand push-up is a challenging exercise that, when freed from the wall, becomes an extraordinary feat of strength and balance that has no peer in weightlifting movements. At the moment of performing twenty handstand push-ups without benefit of the wall, the athlete has achieved a level of strength and balance that not one in a hundred thousand gym goers will ever realize. The integration of strength and balance gives the handstand push-up, even though limited to bodyweight, an athletic edge that brings this movement to at least peer status with even the heaviest of presses – whether bench, overhead, or jerk. Twenty handstand push-ups in the middle of the room or on parallel bars, again without the wall, confers, automatically, a single-rep military press of perhaps 150% bodyweight, whereas a 150% bodyweight single-rep military press suggests little or nothing about an athlete’s balance."

Don't forget that nutrition is a huge part of crossfit! You will see better results from the wod's if you eat healthy!
According to the CrossFit Journal, the CrossFit dietary prescription is as follows:
Protein should be lean and varied and account for about 30% of your total caloric load.

Carbohydrates should be predominantly low-glycemic and account for about 40% of your total caloric load.

Fat should be predominantly monounsaturated and account for about 30% of your total caloric load.

Calories should be set at between .7 and 1.0 grams of protein per pound of lean body mass depending on your activity level. The .7 figure is for moderate daily workout loads and the 1.0 figure is for the hardcore athlete.

In plain language, base your diet on garden vegetables, especially greens, lean meats, nuts and seeds, little starch, and no sugar. That's about as simple as we can get.

If you have any questions about how to get started see one of the coaches! It's not a diet...it's a lifestyle!

The overhead squats will be done with a PVC pipe.

Here is what Greg Glassman says about the overhead squat in the CrossFit Journal

"The overhead squat is the ultimate core exercise, the heart of the snatch, and peerless in developing effective athletic movement. This functional gem trains for efficient transfer of energy from large to small body parts - the essence of sport movement. For this reason it is an indispensable tool for developing speed and power. The overhead squat also demands and develops functional flexibility, and similarly develops the squat by amplifying and cruelly punishing faults in squat posture, movement, and stability."
Pretty cool!

Remember...the power clean consists of 2 pulls.
1st Pull...Pull the barbell from the floor to your knees. The 1st pull is similar to a Deadlift and is a slow movement.
2nd Pull... Pull the barbell from your mid-thighs to your shoulders by extending your hips. The 2nd pull is an explosive movement
Benefits of a power clean...
Power Development- You achieve higher speeds faster. More power and more speed means more strength.
Muscle Development- Power Cleans work your posterior chain hard: calves, hamstrings, glutes & lower back but also upper-back & traps.
