Kettlebell swings

Saturday, October 6th, 2012

Reminder to all of you who signed up for the Ta-Ta Trot to meet Coach Ari by the registration table at 7:45 tomorrow morning. Dress warm and wear your CF307/Lifetime gear to make sure you represent. Most importantly, have fun for a good cause.

Please make sure that when you are using chalk that you are minimizing the mess and cleaning up after yourselves. People are leaving chunks all around the box and they get crushed and make a rather large mess, which then gets carried to the rest of the gym. I think there is currently more chalk mess on the floor than there is in the actual bucket. So,let's leave it in the bucket, thanks folks!

On a more awesome note, One year ago CrossFit 307 posted it's first wod on the 307 website. Class hadn't officially started yet and so everybody was wodding on their own. We've all come a long way since then and in December we'll be celebrating our first class with some sort of shin-dig!

Congratulations! If you've been to class all three days this week you get to take a well-earned rest day. If you missed a day, you get to do the following:

SKILL: Muscle Up Practice

If you are close to having your first muscle up this is the time to make it happen! If you still feel like you have a ways to go, use this time to build strength in the different parts of the move. (Strict Pull Ups, Kipping on rings, transition practice on low rings, etc.) Here is Carl Paoli discussing muscle ups...again. (we'll keep posting it until the cows come home!)

WOD: For Time

50 Kettlebell Cleans (25 each side) Demo

100 Russian Swings Demo

100 Kettlebell Snatches (50 each side) Demo

REC: Practice a one minute air squat. Start facing the wall, with toes 2-3 inches from the wall. Without touching the wall slowly lower yourself down for a 30 second count, get hip crease below parallel, then slowly raise yourself back up for a 30-second count. This is excellent work for developing core, hamstring, low back and glute strength; which is commonly the cause of a poor air squat.
