A. Cleans
Beginners and Intermediate: Technical work on Power Cleans for 25 minutes.
Advanced: Go up to a heavy single but not a max.

B. The BEAR!!!

One of my favourites.  Remember that each round is NOT for time. YOu can rest with the bar on your back, shoulders, whatever.  Take a look at this classic CrossFit video. It is sure to inspire you.




You want to increase the weight with each set. Don't start too heavy!
 To give you an idea, I usually start at 85 lbs and do my last set @ 105 lbs, although I haven't done this wod in about a year.


PM. WOD for BCBD
2000 meter row for time.




Monday, July 30, 2012

A1. Hang Squat Snatch

NOTES: For beginners on eccentric pull-ups. PLEASE, be sure to ask for assistance to start your pull-up with chin over bar. Demonstrate control, and slowly start your descent until your elbows are fully locked out. DON'T CHEAT! I prefer pull-up grip but if you can't control your descent, use chin-up grip.  Or, start with pull-up and as you fatigue, switch to chin-up grip.

Rest about a minute between A1 and A2.

Real Men Do Pirouettes.

Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc hard and fast. Five or six days a week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports. 

Does this sound familiar? These are the words of Greg Glassman, the founder of CrossFit.  Simple.  Highly Effective.  

Handstands? Press to Handstands? Pirouettes? Flips?  I have heard that in the early days of CrossFit all of these gymnastics elements were incorporated into the training program.  That is no longer the case. 

Besides Flux, there are not many CrossFit boxes that incorporate movement complexity beyond the olympic lifts.  I think it has to do with:

(1) FUNCTIONALITY: This is a productive concept that has been wildly misconstrued and hollowed out to a shell of its original meaning.
  
I often hear from people, how are double unders or pistols functional? Folks! There is more to the body than "moving large loads quickly over long distances." Flips, back walkovers, bridges, bridge push-ups are often only a dream to people because they lack the spinal mobility to perform such movements.  But what if people committed as much time to a simple bridge as they did to destroying their Fran time? Here's a question for you: How functional is your body if when placed in a compromised position, you simply twist your back to pick up an object and you hurt yourself because your entire spinal column moves as one large clumsy piece of wood rather than as a series of mobilized and activated units? Or, you find yourself in the classic Thai fisherman's pose - in a deep squat with one foot flat on the ground, the other knee on the ground with your feet tucked under your ankle.  You try and stay down their for a prolonged period of time but your hip aches, your heel is off the ground and you feel like you are going to fall backwards. How functional is your body? How strange is it that you can have a sub 3-minute Frran time and still be compromised by the movements I just discussed? Functionality is more than a barbell movement. 

(2) FEMINIZED MOVEMENTS:  You don't need to take a course in gender studies to understand that barbell work has been constructed as a 'masculine' practice and that gymnastics has been constructed as a 'feminine' practice. Perhaps our next T-Shirt should read, "Real men do pirouettes". CrossFitter's around the globe have radically challenged the mainstream ideal feminine figure. Female CrossFitters take great pride in their strength and there is a certain bravado that accompanies a heavy backsquat.  And witness the recent CrossFit Games, where many of the women outlift many of their CrossFitting male counterparts from back home.  

BUT..., the reverse hasn't happened. Neither men nor women are clamouring to perfect their pirouettte or their splits, or their bridge.  One reason is that these movements are not valued as highly as the back squat or other strength based movements.  

What if equal value was given to both the back bridge and back squat? Here's a concrete example. Jane and Don have been working hard for their first bridge. Jane just recently met this goal and Don is hot on her heels. By the way, Jane  backsquats over 200 lbs (ass to grass). 

Don is no spring chicken (sorry Don) but his spine is more supple than most 20 year olds. Don could not push himself off the ground into a bridge when he started. I think only one or two vertebrae of his entire spinal column was actually moving.  The rest were like wood.  Plus, his shoulders were so closed he could not straighten his arms so he would just collapse onto his head.

But fast forward and here we are several months later, wIth their supple spinal columns these two move like graceful cats. They perform efficiency.

Additional Flux Morning Classes starting next week!

Hello Flux Athletes!

A month ago we added 6am and 7am classes to the Tuesday schedule and folks are filling these sessions. It appears that more and more Flux athletes are getting up early in the summer so starting next week (Thursday, July 26th), we will be adding 6am and 7am WODs to the Thursday schedule too!

This means we will be offering 6am and 7am classes Monday through Friday as part of the regular schedule.

Enjoy!

What Will This Get Me?


Sometimes people ask, when they are new to gymnastics and learning how to do a simple chest to wall handstand, "What will this get me?"  Or, "What am I going to do with this?"  These are honest questions that I must admit, fluster me.  Handbalancing has done wonders for the folks at Flux when it comes to adaptation.  In order to perform a handstand correctly, the body is forced to adapt (yes, sometimes this process is slow).  Learning to do a handstand correctly  (ie the end goal being to actually handbalance) is really about the body being forced to adapt to the necessities of the movement.  If you kick up into a handstand with your arms off the floor, you throw yourself against the wall, and you have a back arch that I could drive a truck through, little adaptation will occur.  But, if we set up parameters: you must walk up the wall; place your palms no more than 3 inches from the wall; and have only your toes touching the wall, very quickly your strengths and weaknesses are exposed.  Striving to do a handstand properly, with a coach giving you the correct cues, will open up your thoracic spine like a spring flower.  Your shoulders will also open up. You will learn what it feels like to anchor your scapulae, and to stack the vertebrae on top of each other.  You will learn how to isometrically contract your entire midline.


For some folks, it really doesn't matter if he or she ever kicks up into a handstand in the middle of the floor. Of course, it is a good example of being a good mover (controlling a fall) but does it really matter if my dad ever manages to do this? Currently, he can kick up against the wall and  pull his feet off the wall and handbalance for a solid 15 seconds.  His shoulder health and strength are so much better as a result of his rigorous work. Dad started this process at 58 years old!

And with Olympic Lifting, Sherry and Nathan have done a marvelous job of tackling their hip and shoulder mobility. I believe they attacked these weaknesses with such vigour because they wanted to perform a particular movement.  The gumption was there because they had a specific goal - to perform a full snatch.  When the goal is as vague as "increase mobility," there is little incentive, but when your immobility is preventing you from performing a specific movement, the stakes are raised and your interest is stirred.  For me, that movement right now is the press to handstand. I never had ANY desire to do the splits until I made the press to handstand one of my year long goals.  Now, it is a priority.

Back to the handbalancing conversation.  It is much more interesting to chase down the goal of a 30 sec handstand than it is to simply 'increase shoulder and thoracic mobility.' I believe one of the reasons our mobility and gymnastics training program is so popular is precisely because people are making the connection between mobility and movement options with the guidance of our Flux coaching team.  If you want to perform a movement you better be able to move and move well.  And if you don't move well, and you are chasing down a goal, you better get to work.

Check out this fabulous Russian video. At 19 sec he goes into a press to handstand.

Dirt and synthetic grass and sled drags/pulls makes me happy.


What a fun time today hanging out in our new backyard space.  I witnessed some freestylin' long jumpers today. Just check out the photos.
