Friday 121130

Posted on November 29, 2012 by Allison Bojarski

Black Box WOD/Beginner WOD:
A: Press 3×5

B: “Yo Adrian”
3 Rounds
10 Push Presses 135#/95#
10 Box Jumps, 30″
[Beginners = 105#/73#, 24" box]

CFE WOD:
Tempo Day. 1 min up tempo, :30 jog, 1:30 up tempo, :45 jog, 2 min up tempo, 1 min jog, 3 min up tempo, 1:30 jog and then back down the ladder. The purpose of this tempo is to halve the rest to teach the body to run at this elevated pace longer with shorter rest. The ultimate result will be a faster pace per mile.

Marc F. writes: “I just wanted to share a picture that I took at the Spartan Race in Fenway Park last weekend. I was proud to represent CFNYC up there. The three of us finished in top 11% overall and top 16% of the men’s 25-29 age group.”

    Koach Kyle Healthy Habit: Bananas…help you poop!

    Wait, when are bananas in season? Asking for a Paleo friend.

    • reisbaron

      Broccoli is always a good choice in that category. Bananas are a super-heavy source of fructose. If your friend is Paleo for weight loss, daily bananas can slow down the process. They are damn good though ;-) .

    Yo Adrian 5:55
    Pull ups instead of box jumps. PP @ 135#: unbroken – unbroken – 5+5

    First day back since the back squat festival on Monday, and apparently my groin was not ready…lunges during warm-up unleashed some beastly pain that barely went away after stretching through part A. Although after wrapping with a voodoo floss band and squatting for a few minutes, the pain was a lot more manageable. These things are pretty amazing for attacking junky tissue. I highly recommend them: http://bit.ly/TqBi6z

    Ron is a sick human. Great job today!

  • Jana B.

    A: 73 (PP on last)-73 (PP on last)-73 (PP on last)

    B: Yo Adrian: 6:02 83# (too heavy; and tweaked knee somewhere in there as well so did step ups on last set of box jumps)
    C: Kipping practice (PR 3 in a row of good ones)
    D: Row 30:00 (6125m)

  • Aaron Segal

    A. Strict Press: 135 145 155×5 all felt light
    B. 3:47 Rxd, just not a fan of 30 inch box jumps. Legs felt like cement going from press to box.
