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!

FGB 6

Fight Gone Bad 6 is almost here if you have not recieved your heat or time ask brent. We are still looking for volunteers to help out, if you are interested in helping out a little, talk to brent.

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.

FGB 6

Time is drawing closer!

I really like the response on the FGB 6 sign up. Y'all are going to have a great time and really see some awesome athletes.

Just to remind y'all, I need to have your waivers and registration fee by Saturday..
The reason for this is so the organizers can make up the rosters for the heats and order the t-shirts..

So please get those two things into me or give them to one of the coaches..

Thanks, Ken

On another note, Coach Megan has been working very hard on putting the nutritian challenge together. She has done a great job and we will be starting very soon. There will be some good prizes, so stay tooned!

FIGHT GONE BAD 6

Hey everyone,

I just want to remind y'all about Fight Gone Bad 6 on September 17th. The flyer is up in the box. There is a sign up sheet and a waiver to fill out. It is a great event for an even better cause. Even if you dont want to compete at the RX'd level, there will be a scaled level. Even if you don't want to do the WOD, it would be great for y'all to come out and support the athletes going through or volunteer. The t-shirts are going to be awesome..I can extend the deadline a little bit longer, but the organizers are going to need a list of those athletes that are participating so a heat list can be drawn up..We are looking at about 200 athletes participating..So if your interested, talk to your trainer about how to sign up..

Update, the FGB6 is going to be at 410 and Blanco in the parking lot of the Alamo Draft House. It will be on Sept. 17..the demo WOD is taking place at 7:45 am and the first heat will run at 8:00 am. New Balance will be providing the prizes for the RX'd workout. There will be other venders at the event. The T-shirt for the event is cool.

I have posted a flyer explaining the event at the box, so check it out sign up. I will print out waivers to sign and they will be at the box. Remember this is a huge fundraising event for the Wounded Warrior Program. It is your chance to contribute and participate in a great event.
