Prairie Dog Poll - Best Gym and Best Personal Trainer

Flux was recently nominated for best gym in Regina. I admit, I was tickled pink when Jeff tweeted me the news. But honestly, this is really about you. All of the Flux members make Flux what it is. So congratulations to all the members of Flux for making our School of Human Movement such a fine place to hang, jump, play, lift and above all... MOVE! You are all culture makers and I couldn't think of a better group of folks to spend my days with. I was also voted for Best Trainer in Regina.  If you would like, you can go online to the Prairie Dog website and take part in the poll.

Thank Your Coaches!

My coaches have been working extra hard these last few weeks as I begin the long process of healing my ACL.

Something to think about - there is no other gym in North America that requires such depth and breadth in knowledge from their coaches.  Our coaches should be applauded for the passion they hold for education. It is a rare find indeed to have coaches such as those at Flux, that feel equally at home teaching the nuances of handbalancing, front levers and their infinite progressions, to weightlifting and acrobatics, to floreio, mobility and bouldering.  And I assure you, my coaches have learned hands on from the best teachers. You would be surprised how many coaches learn movements from watching YouTube videos and reading books on such topics as mobility.

The hands-on work of studying under such highly esteemed teachers as Alex Varbanov, Dr. Spina, Ido Portal and Odelia Goldshmidt, means that you,  as a student, receive the proper prescription for your body.

Next time you are in the gym, throw your coach a thank you. They work hard and I guarantee that they take immense pleasure in your successes. And when you are stuck with a progression and frustrated,  I also know that they  will have many ideas (tricks if you will) to help you to reach your goals.

One last thing, the Flux Coaches want to mentor and teach you, not read to you. Help them by reading the blog before you come to class.  Take a few minutes to really digest the WOD, rather than simply gloss over it.

BENCHMARK WEEK

Probably one of the most infamous elements of CrossFit are the benchmark wods. BElow you will find a link to an article in the CrossFit journal on the nature and origin of these wods.

Have fun and take great notes so that you have a reliable comparison for the next time these wods come up. 

Some of the beginners will be quite intrigued by these wods but now is not the time to go with high intensity. Beginners, expect rest times to be added to you training sessions.

Congratulations to our BCBD Competitors

Congratulations to all that competed in the BCBD this past weekend. 

I want you to know that I was rooting for all of you from the comfort of my couch (and yes I was heavily drugged). 

I was tickled pink when Heidi told me that she and Kamara had signed up in the Brute division.  These two ladies (Team Snaxx) held their own and I think they were quite surprised when they came in 13th on one of the strength events.  Paul and Tim made it into the Top 16 in the men's Brute division. These two have taken to the CrossFit movements with relative ease and they have great engines. Richard and David, you are an inspiration to everyone. Richard has been fearless in jumping into events such as the BCBD. And David's mobility has improved so much. He didn't have much of a chance to show off his upper body strength that he has gained through our gymnastics classes... Maybe next time.  Lucas and Melissa competed in the Beast Division. What a great showing for both of them. Lucas has only been CrossFitting for a couple of months and this was Melissa's debut in the level 1 division.  I believe she came in 5th in one of the workoust with a 125 lb snatch. 

If you see these fine athletes at the gym, give them a pat on the back. For many of them, this was the very first time competing in such an event. They trained hard and put in a lot of extra gym time.

BEASTS: 90 secs to complete 4 rounds of burpee/shuttle and then as many jumping squats as possible, 150 secs rest. 3 rounds for total reps.
Athlete starts with full body behind the line at the bottom of a burpee (chest, thighs, and hands all touching the floor). On the go signal, athlete gets up and runs to the end of the arena (about 60 ft), around a cone/marker, then back, and comes back across the line and back into the bottom of the burpee (must be facing line). They repeat this 4 times (or 8 lengths). Once the 4th round is complete (including back to the bottom of the burpee), the athlete completes as many jumping squats as they can with the remainder of their 90 seconds. They will then be given 150 seconds of rest. Athlete will do this a total of 3 times.
NOTES: Athletes will be paired up with another athlete to share a judge/station. While one athlete is working, the other athlete is resting. Athlete 1 works for 90 seconds, while athlete 2 is resting. For 30 seconds neither athlete will work. Then Athlete 2 will work for 90 seconds, while athlete 1 is resting. Then for 30 seconds neither athlete will work. And this will repeat for 3 rounds.
SCORING: total jumping squats (combined 3 rounds).

BRUTES: Athlete 1: 90 secs to complete 4 rounds of burpee/shuttle and then as many jumping squats as possible. 30 secs off. Athlete 2: 90 secs to complete 4 rounds of burpee/shuttle and then as many jumping squats as possible. 30 secs off. 3 rounds each for total reps.
Athlete 1 starts with full body behind the line at the bottom of a burpee. On the go signal, athlete gets up and runs to the end of the arena (about 60 ft), around a cone/marker, then back, and comes back across the line and back into the bottom of the burpee. They repeat this 4 times (or 8 lengths). Once the 4th round is complete (including back to the bottom of the burpee), athlete 1 completes as many jumping squats as they can with the remainder of their 90 seconds. There will then be 30 seconds where neither partner is working. Then athlete 2 will complete the exact same thing in 90 seconds, while athlete 1 continues to rest (so only one athlete working at a time). Then there will be another 30 seconds that neither partner is working. This will be repeated for a total of 3 rounds.
SCORING: total combined jumping squats (combined 3 rounds).

STANDARDS:

BURPEE/SHUTTLE:Athlete starts with full body behind the line at the bottom of a burpee (chest, thighs, and hands all touching the floor). Athlete must then run to the end of the arena (about 60 ft), around a cone/marker, then back, and comes back across the line and back into the bottom of the burpee (must be facing line). Full body must come completely behind line. CONE PENALTY: As in hurdles, for every time cone is moved by athlete (kicked, run over, etc) there will be a one rep penalty (one jump squat taken away from their total). Athlete continues through the workout and is not required to put cone back, as volunteers will be there to do so.

JUMPING SQUAT:Athlete goes down to the bottom of the squat, crease of hip below the top of the knee. At the top, both athletes feet must leave the ground (separation) and hips must come to full extension. Very first rep after the burpee must be started at a full standing position – can not jump right into squat.
