BLK LBL Fitness Club – CrossFit® Warm-up 1. Movement Prep/Activation and Increasing Heart Rate Hip Halo Warm up -into- 7 min AMRAP: 50m Jog 3 Inch Worms + 6 Pike Push-ups 3 Deadlifts (empty bar) 5 Wall Balls (focus on rolling out the shoulders) 2. Strength Prep Athletes will perform deficit deadlifts on a 2-inch riser (equal to a jerk block lid or a red competition plate). Stress that athletes should still load the hips similar to a regular deadlift and focus on having a strong leg drive. For deficit HSPU, athletes will perform 40% of the volume that they scored on the max strict HSPU test day. The prescribed deficit is 4″ for men and 2″ for women. Athletes can use any deficit if the prescribed is too difficult. If unable to perform deficit, they should perform regular strict HSPU. If unable to perform strict reps, they should perform...Read more

Movement Prep/Activation and Increasing Heart Rate Crossover Symmetry Or Banded 7’s -into- 6 min AMRAP 30-sec single/double unders 5 Alternating V-ups (each side) 5 Knees to Elbows 2. Workout Prep 2 sets: 10 Double Unders 5 Toes to Bar Metcon Metcon (Time) 100-80-60-40-20 Double Under 20 Toes to Bar after each setTARGET SCORE Target time: 9-11 minutes Time cap: 15 minutes STIMULUS and GOALS The stimulus is moderate pacing with consideration to possible burnout on both double unders and toes to bars. Athletes should approach both movements in conservative-sized sets in the beginning and push the effort towards the end of the workout. Fast, quick set on both movements will allow athletes to work off sizable amounts of reps without falling into a string of no reps. This is going to be grippy, so chalk between sets and be careful not to...Read more

For pause bench, athletes will lower the bar until contact is made with the chest, hold for 2 seconds, and then press to lockout. It is important that athletes make sure they maintain tension and not rest the bar on their chest. High box jump can be at a height that is slightly intimidating but consistently doable for 3 reps at a time. High box jumps should be challenging but not the max height that was established in the test week. Aim for a...Read more

Strength Prep Athletes will have pause front squats today. The weight selected should be 70% of 1rm and athletes should pause for 2 seconds at the bottom of each squat. Athletes should maintain tension at the bottom of the squat and ensure that they breathe out through pursed lips when standing (and not holding their breath). For weighted pull-ups, we will use 65% of the heavy single weight established during the test week. If athletes used a band during test week to complete a strict pull-up, they should move the band up 2-3 spots on the rig from test week height and perform strict reps. 3.

BLK LBL Fitness Club – CrossFit® Metcon Metcon (AMRAP – Rounds and Reps) 20 min AMRAP For Rounds AND Distance: P1: 200m Run 10 Dumbbell Box Step Ups (50s/35s)(24/20) 6 Devils Press (50s/35s) P2: Accumulating max distance on bike *Partners switch each round *Do not reset the bike when switching *Run consists of 4 reps (50m = 1 rep)Focus Ideal stimulus for this workout is to find a balance between moderate pacing on rounds and moderate pacing on bike erg. Teams will have two scores for this workout: the number of rounds completed by the team and the total distance accumulate on the bike by the team. Faster pace on the rounds will decrease the possible effort on the bike erg and faster pace on the bike will result in lower ability to complete rounds on run/step ups/devils press. Add bike erg distance to comment. Accessory Work Derek Weida AB...Read more
