CrossFit Workout - Thursday 12/29/11

Take as much time as you need to find your 3 rep max overhead squat while maintaining perfect/strict form for all reps.  Take the bar from the floor to begin each set.

Begin with light bar and increase weight each set until you reach your max weight.  You may only increase weight when you can perform all 3 reps to a depth at least slightly below parallel while keeping your heels firmly on the floor and your knees in a direct vertical line above your ankles.  Your trainer will give you the "go" / "no go" on increasing the weight for your next set.

If you are unable to perform overhead squats properly with a weighted bar, scale back to a pvc pipe and perform 10 sets of 10 reps alternating with 10 sets of 10 reps of hand release pushups.

Warmup: 75 jumping jacks, 75 squats & 75 situps, any combination
Cool down: 2 minutes of farmer's carry/hold in place - using heavy DBs, KBs or bumper plates

Deadlift 5x5

Use approximately 80% of your 1 rep max for all 5 sets. Your trainer will assist you in picking the proper weight for you to use for all 5 sets of 5 reps, after 3-4 warmup sets of 5 reps building up to your 5x5 weight. Rest 2-3 minutes between sets during the workout, but short rests between warmup sets.

**Do not increase weight and reach failure during any of your 5 sets, this is not a workout to reach your 5 rep max. Leave something in the tank.  The weight should be heavy, but not to the point of failure.

CrossFit Workout - Thursday 11/03/11

Deadlift 5 reps per set to find your max

Pause and hold at the top of each lift for a full 5 seconds before lowering the bar.  No dropping from the top. Your grip will really be challenged with this one.

Begin with approximately 50% of your max deadlift weight and perform the first set of 5 reps.  Add approximately 20% for your next set of 5 reps. Add the same amount each set until you reach your max. When you fail to lift all 5 reps in a set, drop the weight back to the previous amount and perform one final set without the 5 second pause at the top of each lift.  Rest as needed between sets.

RESULTS:



Example:  If  your max deadlift is 300 pounds
Set 1: 150lbs for 5 reps, 5 second pause at the top of each lift
Set 2: 180lbs for 5 reps, 5 second pause at the top of each lift
Set 3: 210lbs for 5 reps, 5 second pause at the top of each lift
Set 4: 240lbs for 5 reps, 5 second pause at the top of each lift
Set 5: 270lbs for 5 reps, 5 second pause at the top of each lift
but you fail getting all 5 reps
Set 6: 240lbs for 5 reps, no extended pause at the top

These example weights are guidelines. You may add less weight in the later sets, the instructor will help you determine weights as you go.

Warmup: 15 reps x 4 rounds, pushups, v-situps & squats
Cool down: 750 meter or 1.2 mile run, for time - your choice
