Hypoxia Gym

WOW! Today we were visited by a super hero … Who knew? If we’re lucky we may get another superhero to visit us soon …

For once, none of you can complain to us coaches about the WOD. Why, you may ask? Well, you all picked the exercises! Don’t hate on us for your choices now .

WOD:
In Teams of Two
10 Snatches 95 lb./65 lb.
30 Toes to Bar
50 Pull Ups
70 Sit Ups
100 Box Jumps
200 Double Unders
40 Push Press 95 lb./65 lb.
30 Deadlifts 225 lb./135 lb.
20 Turkish Get Ups 36 lb./ 24 lb.
10 Snatches 95 lb./65 lb.

Ah, the lonely life of the turkish getup … notice how Wendy’s partner has left her to do all 20 by herself. Bad Jenny … I mean bad Wendy’s partner.

Good stuff!

Aw yeah … a little snatching love for today’s WOD. Nothing like ending the week with the toughest freaking lift of them all.

Work:
1 RM Power Snatch

MetCon:
4 minute max Double Unders
4 minutes max Push Ups

Tabata style!

But, didn’t we just do that the other day? You’re right. We did … but not Tabata style (20 seconds on, 10 seconds off). What’s amazing is that your numbers will be almost identical to when you did it straight through. Pretty interesting what those 10 seconds of rest bring.

Great job this week by all. We saw lots of PRs and even those who might have missed a PR were kicking ass with stronger form and overall work.

Have a lovely weekend. Be safe and have fun!

Woo hoo?

It’s another gorgeous day in May outside and it was another awesome day inside at Hypoxia. In honor of us reclaiming more of our wall space, we went ahead and added some Wall Balls to the mix … if only we added HSPUs to that, it would have been the most walltacular WOD ever. Hey, that’s a good idea. Wall Balls AND HSPUs in a WOD. Hmmm … will have to try that one day.

WOD:
Deadlift 2500 lb./1500 lb.
30 Burpees
30 Pull Ups
30 Wall Balls
Deadlift 2500 lb./1500 lb.

But, what does “Deadlift 2500 lb./1500 lb.” mean?

Well, it means you deadlift until the amount of pounds is reached. In other words, I could do 10 250 lb. deadlifts, or 20 125 lb. deadlifts or … well, you get the idea.

Thursday’s Olympic Lifting Class:
Snatch
1-1-1-1-1-1

Snatch Balance

Sotts Press

Hope that many of you got a chance to get out for some fun in the sun today. See you all tomorrow!

said Jenny this morning as she tried to decode the MetCon. Fine, that wasn’t really a direct quote but, you get the gist of it .

And a special message to all you Dads out there …
