Hypoxia Gym

We have 5 weeks until the start of the CrossFit Open! Whoo hoo! The first workout will be released on February 22nd. Registration opens February 1st. The format will be similar as last year, with Masters categories of 45-49, 50-54, 55-59 and 60+. Some of us have moved into that category for the first time (yes, this is Faith talking. Got to use the age advantage whenever you can!).

So….let’s make a commitment as a group to work hard these next few weeks in preparation for what lies ahead. Focus on form. Focus on monitoring mid-workout rest periods. Focus on nutrition. I see a nutrition challenge headed our way…. Details coming soon.

Enjoy for time:

100 pull ups
100 push ups

Warm up:
Two rounds not for time
5 pull ups
10 push ups
15 sledgehammer hits

Mobility:
Pain ball on the feet
Hip flexor couch stretch

Then:
30-20-10
Wall ball 20/14
American KB swings 52/35
Knees to elbows

Today is the day to find out?

One rep max benchpress

Then:
AMRAP 8 minutes
5 ring dips
10 box jumps
15 double unders

We did this last Tuesday, and it’s time to give it another effort. If you accomplished all of your reps, then add weight. If you didn’t get it, give it another go and see if you learned something from your first attempt. We are guessing that you learned something.

21 reps for max weight, low bar back squat.

Get some. Go again.

Have you given our monthly challenge a whirl yet? Did you even see it? It’s on the big board, just waiting for you to add your attempt to the list of hearty souls who have already stepped up. Will you step up?
