WODs

Awesome Effort today everyone.  It was great to see people pushing their limits and working hard to set a good time.  Those were “simple” movements in that there was not a lot of technique involved, but they were by no means easy. Welcome to Ruth who rocked her first CrossFit workout ever today.  She is joining us in the early bird 6 am class and looks like she is going to advance quickly into Rx workouts.  Nice work Timmy D.  Setting the bar for everyone for a second day in a row.  Keep up the good work.  Regionals are calling your name.

WOD – Nov 23 – Pull Hard and Push Yourself!

WU: Ski Erg (3 x 200m) + Handstand Hold + Skin the Cat + Dowel

Let’s set some PR’s tomorrow.  Coach Robbie and Coach Nate both set new PR’s by pulling bodyweight + 114# on Monday.  Come ready to work hard!

The Olympic lifts are the most technical lifts that you will ever see in the gym.  The Clean (Hang, power or Squat) is extremely difficult to perfect.  The entire body is involved in making a large amount of weight move from the ground up onto your “rack” (now now, tsk tsk).  With that being said, everyone did a great job today and definitely made some huge improvements.  If you felt that you were having difficulty with it today, don’t get frustrated, don’t get discouraged.  There is definitely going to be a steep learning curve over the next few months as we work with everyone to develop correct form and technique in all the movements.  But rest assured, we are here to help you, and we are passionate about doing it.  Hybrid Athletics is a culmination of Coach Robbie and Coach Nate’s desire to help people along their journey to improved health and fitness, and an more fulfilling life in general.  We keep the gym open ALL day.  6 am thru the end of the last class of the day.  The Unlimited membership gives you access to the gym throughout these hours. Feel free to stop in to ask questions, get some extra skills practice, or just roll and stretch on your lunch break.  We are happy to hang out and share our knowledge.  What good is it if we keep it to ourselves?  Tomorrow we have programmed a more simple workout.  The kind where you can just shut off your brain, turn your motor on and get the work done!

WOW! It’s Amazing how quickly many of you progressed on the OH Squat and Snatch Balance Tech today.  We saw people who had never OH Squated before performing them with a beautiful, full range of motion.
