Monday 8.6.12

CrossFit St. Thomas is getting Ha-uge.
1.  Deficit Deads
Work up to a 3RM - Stand on 45# plates (maybe 45 +25 if you are short).  These can be done as sumo or traditional pulls.  Use chains and/or bands if available; Demo Vid.

2.  Olympic Pause Squats
3 x 6 - Use high bar rack position and pause for 2 seconds in the hole of each squat; Demo Vid.

3.  GHR
3 x 6-10 - knees should be in contact with pad.  No breaking/flexing at the hips.  Want it to be harder - Use weights for added resistance.  Want it to be easier - attach a band to a pull up rig behind you.

4.  Double DU "Annie"
For time:
100-80-60-40-20 Double Unders
50-40-30-20-10 Abmat sit ups

5.  Split Practice
Spend 8 minutes (4/side) working towards a split

6.  Recovery Row
7 mins of easy rowing - no straps, no monitor

See yourself on this site.
Send pics and youtube clips of your training to ali@crossfitnewengland.com.  

4 mins/side...

  1. Double Annie looks fun! Everytime Ben says go get em at the end of the demo video it gets me psyched!

  2. Sub for GHR?

    2. if you work out with a partner, you can lie face down on the floor with an abmat under your knees. have your partner hold down your ankles and then do a GHR. not perfect, but i think it will best simulate the movement.

      Delete
    3. Charles - in your case, you should just do regular annie.

      Delete
    4. GHR sub = pin your weighted bar against a wall so it can't roll, put a pad on the bar for your ankles, pad under your knees and do them on the ground.

  3. Any %age for the squats as reference since will be coming off the deadlifts?

    ReplyDelete
  4. would using 25# iron plates be an appropriate sub for the deficit deadlifts?

    ReplyDelete
  5. 1. 405 for 2, 2nd rep caused blinding pain in my lower back, cannot currently bend over or squat.

    Had to skip 2 and 3 due to the back pain.

    Double DU Annie done but not for time due to back pain.

    Kind of pissed about my back, coming off what can only be described as one of the best weeks of training I have ever had, I am pretty worried I did serious damage, we'll see how it feels tomorrow.

    1. Did you hear a pop? I was working out with Erin (you know the one that gets "psyched by bens videos") and she heard a pop. She had an exray, turned out to be muscular thank goodness. Don't be crappy and try to work through it. Ice and rest. Hope you feel better.

      Delete
    2. I heard a pop when doing DL's a little too carelessly last summer. I thought the worst - herniated disc, etc., but it turned out to be a pulled lower paraspinal muscle (http://www.allaboutbackpain.com/html/files_links/spine_anatomy_muscle.html). I couldn't stand up for about 20 mins. It heals in about a month if you rest it. I could comfortably run and swim during recovery.
