13 minute workout week

maximun reps in 13 minutes of

pullups & wall ball situps

Perform and equal number of reps of each exercise per set continuing for 13 minutes total. You decide how many reps each round, but you must do an equal amount of pullups and wb situps.  Example, if you perform 20 pullups to start off, you perform 20 situps before you do any more pullups. It's okay to do more or fewer pullups the 2nd round, you just need to perform the same number of wb situps after.  Your score for the workout is the combined total reps of both exercises completed in 13 minutes. Example, if in you final round you perform 20 pullups and only get 7 wb situps before the time runs out, you only count 7 of the pullups and the 7 wb situps. Play it smart near the end to maximize your score.

Wall ball situps, perform an abmat situp as close to the wall as possible while holding a dynamax ball on your chest, tossing the ball to a five foot target on the wall as you come up off the floor, catch and repeat.

Post score to the white-board or to Comments

Happy Cinco de Mayo hangover day! Or some of you may call it "recovery" day.

Skill/practice day

Perform 10 minutes of plank holds  and perform 20 4-count flutter kicks each time you need to rest before completing a total of 10 minutes of plank holds.  Record the number of attempts it takes you to get a total of 10 minutes.  Yes, you read that correctly.  If you don't get it, here it is in story format.

If you are able to complete the entire 10 minutes with one continuous plank hold, you don't have to do any flutter kicks.  If you hold your first plank for 5 minutes, do 20 4-count flutter kicks and then hold another 5 minutes of plank, you are done.  Your score is 2.  Meaning 2 attempts to get to 10 minutes total plank hold. If you can only hold the plank for 30 seconds at a time, you'll be doing lots of flutter kicks and your score would be 20. Obviously the lower your score the better.

There is a 35 minute time limit to this workout.  If you have not completed a total of 10 minutes of plank holds  by the end of 35 minutes, stop and do the cool down run. I'll be expecting an email from you soon after telling me how much I suck!

Plank hold - on forearms with straight or hollow body- no sagging or piked hips.

Warmup: 100 box jumps
Cool down: run, 1, 2 or 3 miles for time

Happy Cinco de Mayo, lots of cincos today

practice 5 rounds of
95lb power clean and jerk - 5 reps
ring dips - 5 reps

repeat this combo for a total of 10 rounds of each exercise (sorry, had to stick with the cinco thing)

There is no time component for this workout. Strive to improve and perfect form on both exercises. Your trainer will adjust your barbell weight and modify your ring dips to ensure that you are practicing with correct form.

Power clean - powerful leg and hip drive, speed through the middle and NO curling of the barbell
Jerk - full hip extension before dropping under the bar, stand up completely before lowering the barbell
Ring dip - full depth, no kipping, hips drop at the same rate as shoulders, no forward lean.

This is Skill Week, pay no attention to the clock. We don't care how fast you complete this workout, we only care how well you perform the movements. Cheers!

Crossfit Workout - Tuesday 05/04/10
