We had a great Saturday here at chilly CrossFit Nor’Easter! I am even considering starting up a support group so we can all get over the WOD we did today. Contact me for details and/or a hug. I sure could use one after this.
So yeah, the 9am class got a little beat down with “Culbreth”:
For time:
1 Double under
1 Barbell Thruster @ 65lbs/45lbs
2 Double Unders
2 Barbell Thrusters @ 65lbs/45lbs
Continue adding 1 double under and 1 thruster every round until you reach 20 of each movement.
At the end of round 5 do 5 Burpees.
At the end of round 10 do 10 Burpees.
At the end of round 15 do 15 Burpees.
At the end of round 20 do 20 Burpees.
This was a tough one. It got pretty bad near the end! Great job everyone, a tough WOD like this is a good thing, it builds character!
Overall though, I think Tony summed it up nicely:
Also:
This guy is back! Great to see you Jimmy!
10:00 class
Had a great showing of people checking out our free intro Saturday class! You all did great! If you have been a little sore since then, embrace it! It means you just grew a little stronger! See you all next Saturday 
FGB style 3 rounds 1 min, 30 sec rest, rest 1 minute between each round:
Box Jumps
Wall Ball
Abmat Sit-Ups
Kettlebell Swings
Ah silence…
Oh yeah, that worked out to be 210 thrusters and double unders along with 50 burpees.
….and an urge to puke.
I really felt bad for Georgie and Jimmy coming back to that WOD….But it was great to have you both back!
And Tony we need to work on those double unders, that was the only thing holding you back!
Tony is becoming much to strong and fast, so I am going to devote my life to sabotaging, errrr, helping him master his double-unders…. So let me start with some tips:
1) It is all about slowing down the rope and jumping super duper high.
2) Get a real rope jumprope. The slower the rope travels the better.
3) Tighten up your entire body.
I am kidding of course. We spend some time with them soon as skillwork and we will to take some slow motion video to see what we can see!
Though it is really just a matter of practice though, it took me literally years to get to where I am now (which is still not very good). Concentrate on staying loose, think fast wrists and just try to get comfortable with jumping rope in general. That last point is most of the reason I am always jump roping backwards/one footed/high kicks/running/cross-overs – it builds ones “presence” with the jump rope – I feel this will ultimately help with timing (and recovery).
Great to have Jimmy back! He is probably cursing our names right now. Georgie too! That’ll teach you to take some time off!
Haha. Fantastic workout. Sunday was a bad day for walking up and down stairs, but I’m mostly recovered and looking to see what you’re cooking up this weekend.
