One of the things I love about CrossFit is that on any given day experienced CrossFitters can be thrown into the novice category. New skills, new challenges, things unfamiliar. That makes some people uncomfortable. We turn the equation around at CFSF and welcome the new and difficult by embracing it.
However, we did have options...
5 rounds:
5 hanging ring extensions
5 front rolls
5 back rolls
45 pound Sots press, 10 reps
Scott- (3) 35# 11:00
Eric- Rx 15:15
Cliff- 35# 21:24
T- 35# 14:00
Option A
5 rounds:
5 TGU
5 burpee's
10 box jumps
Alice Anne- 14:00
Joey- 14:38
Option B
'Slab City'
13 rounds
:30 kettlebell swing
:30 rest
Tammy
Sam
Teresa
Lynde
15:00 AMRAP
150 meter row
10 box jumps
10 WBS
Ryan- 6 + 150m row
Ben- 7 + 3 WBS
Danson- 5 + 10 box jumps
Great session everyone. Welcome to CFSF Ryan, Ben, and Danson. Drink the kool-aid. Come back for more.
Wednesday is a rest day, not an off day. 5 mile run/walk for the Mudders, for added kicks, throw in some PT every few miles for that good lung burn. If you aren't a Mudder, get some mobility, or some nice long relaxing stretching for that ultra tight posterior chain.

What did you think of the Sots press? We have added this in with the overhead squats portion of our warm up in the past, usually every fifth squat has us staying in the hole, getting five Sots presses. Let's make this a mandatory component of the overhead squats in the warm-up.
Thanks for the great efforts. Use your off time wisely.

Great job guys. Even though NOBODY was getting the handstand walk as prescribed, we still got some great handstand push-ups and HSPU progressions. Super heavy deads Lynde! Definitely want you on the top of the obstacles pulling us all up and over... Remember that the Tough Mudder is less than two and a half months away.
Congratulations to Shaun, the newest member of the tire flip team. Flipping Joey is no easy task, HOOYAH! We also had a visit from Alex. Drink the kool-aid and come back for more. What better Christmas present could you give yourself ?
We have a few weeks before Christmas. Prioritize. Keep CFSF on your list of things to do.

If you have any sore bits and pieces, hit the blog and find a few fixes. If you feel great, hit the blog and find a few mobilizations for pillar muscles and joints. Take care of your business.

Hero workouts are definitely a blast. The motivation and the meaning help many to keep going with aggression until finished. We see that often, but not as often as when we see Hero sessions. Great job everyone!

Good job on toughing out a pretty tough session. NOBODY got this at prescription. None the less, everyone was gassed. Personally, the 600 singles were far worse than 200 doubles. Gotta embrace those doubles...
This session is named in honor of Lt. Andrew Richard Nuttall, of the 1 PPCLI, Alberta, Canada, killed in Iraq on December 23, 2009.
Great to see Joey back in the gym, he brings much needed fuel. He also hooked us up with another "O" bar. Huge THANKS Joey! Thoughts will be with Todd on Wednesday as he gets his knee repaired. Be cool, let that knee heal, and before you know it you'll be right there beside us struggling through another monster wod. Until then, we will miss you and your fuel. So heal fast and, HURRY BACK!
CFSF will be closed until Monday, November 28. Use this time to catch up on some mobility and long stretching, and some running, biking, swimming, dog walking, or WTFYLTD, and come back rested and ready to roll strong.
CFSF sincerely wishes everyone a very nice Thanksgiving, and thanks again very much for choosing CFSF.

Great session everyone. Some people loaded the pull-ups, some did not. Quality is the goal. Good job. This was the first 'Frannish' session for some, and they did really well. Thrusters, at any weight, and pull-ups are a potent punch, leaving even the fittest on floor lock afterwards.
We will be rolling Monday this week, taking Wednesday - Sunday off. We will meet again Monday November 28.

Thursday, November 17 'Snatch balance'
One of several skill transfer exercises for the snatch, the snatch balance usually allows for heavier lifts than the snatch, giving the athlete confidence and control for future snatching.
Snatch balance 1-1-1-1-1-1-1
Sam- 95
Alice Anne- 60
John- 180
Shaun- 145
Beth- 85
Lynde- 85
T- 110
Great lifts everyone. We hit all the cues we talked about hitting, and got some really good lifts...
There are three skill transfer exercises, all begin with the bar in a back rack position. Differences in starting (jumping) foot position, and inclusion or exclusion of the dip, are what sets them apart from one another. The snatch balance begins with a more narrow (jumping) stance, the same stance for the clean.
Movement is initiated with a strong dip and drive, then a super fast dive under the bar, moving the feet to the landing position while simultaneously launching the bar overhead to a fully locked out active overhead position as explosively as possible.
They each require successively greater dynamics and athleticism to reach, hold, and control the catch portion of the snatch, which is the rock bottom position of the overhead squat.
http://www.mobilitywod.blogspot.com/
Take some extra time to get some mobility, long stetching, or both. Hit that posterior chain, and tight shoulder girdle. Thanks for all the terrific efforts and great fuel. Saturday, 0900. See you there.
On time, on target, NEVER quit.

Tuesday, November 15 'Thrusters'
Moving a heavy weight over a long distance is one of the requirements for becoming stronger. I'd say the Thruster satisfies that wouldn't you?

Great work everyone! Super strong lifts John, Lynde, Cliff, and Shaun. You all are ANIMALS! Just wait until you've been rolling a while, and become more efficient... Your work capacity will be through the roof. Great lift Teresa- personal record. Hooyah!
This was another example of how our core strength has a direct correlation to the amount of weight moved. Higher levels of strength through the core allow a greater transmission of force to resistance. Weak core and that transmission is lost. Throw in tight hamstrings with a weak core and your Thruster now resembles stick man. Broken spine, loss of control, loss of HEELS... a recipe for disaster.
The Thruster demands a high level of skill, an aptitude as well as an ability, that must be cultivated and allowed to grow with constant supervision and continual control in order to get dialed in, and stay locked on.

Sunday, November 13 'GHD sist-ups/WBS 2:1'
Whomever came up with wall ball two for one shots is a maniac. However, they really help get the message across about how quickly we must retreat under. The twofers reinforce that pretty well.

Dear Santa, we need another GHD... If we all write letters now, surely he'll hook us up, right? Good job everyone. This was a core crusher of the highest order. I bet everyone threw those med balls higher than they've been thrown in a while though, AND, the next time you fly under the bar, you'll do it more quickly.
We benefit tremendously by embracing the suck. That's a huge part of why we do it. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it. This was an interesting cycle, thanks CFHQ, and thanks for the great efforts and great fuel on a nice Sunday afternoon. Use your off time wisely.

Outstanding job guys. Thanks for all the great efforts. Having a gym full of people working together makes the 'Murph' much easier to deal with. We think of this as a special workout, and it is, but to Lt. Michael Murphy it was just Wednesday.
It is in his honor that we struggle. There is no better motivation. Good call John. Good call.
Sad news for one of our super strong sled dogs. Todd has tweaked his knee and then some. Our thoughts are with you, hoping you get it fixed fast and feel better soon. Your energy will be severely missed.

Be patient, be consistent, and continue to kick ass! Good to see Holly Fenn back from school as well. CFSF is proud of her for making all A's.
We have had the short versus long debate again recently, and while most agree that the long sessions are definitely difficult, we will still receive the desired effects with shorter sessions as well. Remember that CrossFit expressly demands competency across broad domains, both long and short. Consider it fortunate to be thrown a nice short session this time.
http://www.mobilitywod.blogspot.com/
Thoughts are with Eric as he recovers from surgery. Your CFSF family is sending love vibes your way. Thursday is a rest day. Not an off day. Get the run. Get some mobility. At least one or the other. If you are a Mudder, get both. Three months from now is the Tough Mudder run.
Thanks for all the terrific efforts today. Thanks for making CFSF the coolest place to train.

Great session everyone. Where did you begin to hit the wall? My legs started getting really heavy around the fourth round. The overhead lunges followed by the run had begun to take a heavy toll. Just keep moving.
We had some super fast running from a lot of people- good job. We also had some subbing out of reverse crunchers for toes to bar for some, and thanks to everyone for NOT coming off the bar, testing head strength vs. floor strength. You will always lose that one.

Take some time and find a few mobilizations for anything tight, grody, or painful. The time and effort you spend will be returned to you with added benefits, like comfort, and better performance. Easy decision.
Thanks for all the great efforts, great fuel, and good times.

Monday, November 7 'WBS/Hang snatch'
Thirty reps can sound daunting, however, once you start chipping away, before you know it, just as quickly as it started, it's over. This was a high volume session that required a lot of fuel to book. Good job guys.
Three rounds:
30 Wall ball shots 20/16
75 pound hang snatch, 30 reps
Scott- 45 22:17
Amber- 35 22:18
Andrew- 45 23:39

John- Rx 27:47
Cliff- 65 28:00
Shaun- 45 19:00
Tammy- 35 22:38
Brad- 65 push press 18:13
T- Rx 22:50
Great job everyone. How did you like going from the hang? We heard a few different comments floating around the gym, mostly having to do with blown backs. If your lower back began to give you problems during the wod, increase flexibility training both up and down river of the issue, and get some GHD work on the side. Welcome home John, great night to return on, huh? No worries, you'll have your sea legs back in no time....
Regardless of what you lifted, we had some really good snatching. We talked about a few cues that we needed to see and got them. Triple extension, on time pulls, and knees jacked out. Outstanding! Form, consistency, intensity.

Great session guys! Solid Push presses. We still need to pay attention to NOT allowing the hips to chase the knees, otherwise known as "muting" the hips... This takes a huge amount of hip potential and throws it right out the window.
We can ask Santa for another rower, but we'll have to stay on our best behavior, and stay out of trouble- which is a tall order at CFSF.
Thanks for the efforts, thanks for the fun times. Use your off time wisely. Get the run/walk if you are a Mudder...

15 knees to elbows
95 pound hang clean, 15 reps
15 back extensions holding a 25 pound plate

Great job Todd, and Richard. As prescribed. Outstanding. We had a few substitutions today, and remember the number one CrossFit tenet, first we need good form, then consistency, then intensity. It is ALWAYS in our best interest to scale, sub, or otherwise modify the WOD to our ability level. Do not feel as though you are not getting the desired effect. You will be gassed.
When we train, we practice. The more we practice, the more competent we will become. Be patient, be consistent, and do your homework. If you will commit to those three things your success is within reach.
