Rest Day

Fish Tournament at CrossFit One World today!  Come hang out with the super star CrossFitters up in Union City!

The Ice Fishing Tournament is this Saturday night, 1/31/2009. By far, the last Fishing Tournament was the best party at One World to date. A fun event for the whole family. Show up at 6pm so we can start signing people up. It is a $10 buy-in, winner gets the whole pot less 10% which goes to the highest score of the tournament. We will start forming brackets at around 7pm and rowing will follow.

One World will supply utensils, plates, cups, to go along with the keg of beer for the adults. We will have a jumper for the kids. If you can, bring a dish or an appetizer or a dessert. Also, bring any other beverage you may want (water, soda, juice for the kids, hard alcohol...). They will have ice chests to keep things cold.

Thrusters

Two mega super fit people dropped by the box.  My dad and Jason Khalipa are in the elite level of fitness for their age!  Can anyone guess my dad's age?  I have him doing the CrossFit SV ladder. His blood pressure and bad cholesterol numbers are way down.

I did "Barbara" today after being pressured by Coaches Matt and Michaela.  At first I was not going to do this WOD since I missed it yesterday and was going to just continue with another "easier" WOD.  I am so grateful for the comraderie and the push needed to get it started.  The accountability is such a bonus for athletic growth and development.  I see it everyday with SV CrossFitters.  We need the encouragement and the swift kick in the butt.  Being told I am weaksauce for not doing Barbara today was a great thing for me.  Thanks SV coaches for just the right amount of "push"- it always feels best when we finish.  We are all commited to everyone's fitness success- as well as our own!

Core? OKAY!

Mark has not missed a class since he started a few months back.  We are starting to notice how baggy his clothes are and how his face is "shrinking".  That is a good thing right?  Keep it up bro- stay consistent and dedicated!

WOD:

Five rounds for time of:
30 Glute-ham sit-ups
25 Back extensions

Rest Day

For all those in this picture- your goal for this year is to do all WODs as RX'd (no scaling).  The coaches at CrossFit SV will help you in every step of the way- in this case every hand stand push up!

Overhead Lunges

Here is a wonderful explanation by "Coach" on efficacy of the combination of training stimulus utilized intensively within the classes. 

-Posted by Michaela

"Crossfit" Coach Glassman:

Why Gymnastics? - Gymnasts have no peer in trunk and hip flexion, upper body strength in multiple joint angles, agility, accuracy, balance, coordination, their domain is body control.

Why Weightlifting? - The weightlifters are masters of power, speed, and hip and leg strength. Powerful hip extension is the most critical element of human performance and none have the capacity of the weightlifters

Why Sprinting? - Sprinters have enormous physical potential due to their metabolic competency across anaerobic and aerobic pathways and the speed, power, and total conditioning that sprinting demands.

Blending workouts from each domain gives us a total greater than the sum of the parts - a gorgeous hybrid.

WOD:

Five rounds for time of:
45 pound barbell Overhead walking lunges, 50 feet
21 Burpees

Let trailing knee gently kiss the ground on each lunge.
