Workout of the day

If you are NOT competing in the Crossfit Games Regionals on Saturday and Sunday, do this workout.

Load up 70% of your max weight deadlift.  Without wrapping your thumbs around the bar, get as many deadlifts as you can in 90 seconds.  (use mixed Grip)  This will be an all out effort.

Write your total reps on the board.  If you've never come on a max deadlift day and aren't sure that you used 70% of your max, circle your number so we don't use it to analyze the strategy for the gamers workout.

Then....

As a team of 4.  (or if there's not enough people, 3 - or 2, or 1.)
Row/Run Relay
 
Each team will have a Concept 2 rower. Each team member will row 50 calories. The athlete will need to stay seated until the monitor reads 50 calories.  After all four team members have rowed their 50 calories the first rower will now run 800 meters. When that athlete gets back they will tag the next member who will then run. This will be repeated until all four team members have run their 800meters. The athletes will run in the order they rowed. The teams' time will stop when the last member gets back to the mat the rower is on. The damper on the rower will be set at four.

Warning

Don't try Eugene Crossfit if you want to keep the drudgery in your workouts. There are plenty of workout plans that deliver little results, are boring, and don't really have a goal in mind.

Crossfit is very bothersome for people who like workouts like these.

Crossfit will change the way you think about your workouts, and by doing that you see amazing results. You immediatly learn to love to workout, to push your body, to try new things. The program you recieve here will make you fitter faster than anything you can imagine. Every client that has given it a month will testify.

You don't have to be an athlete to come. Heck, you can be in the worst shape of your life, I scale you back and ramp it up at a steady and safe pace. You'll have the results that you never thought possible in no time. And once you get there, you'll be thirsty for more. (instead of yo-yoing)

Eugene Crossfit is NOT a gym. It is a fitness school. In time, along with getting fit, you will learn technique on everything, how to apply intensity, the aspects of fitness, how and what to eat, recovery, motivation, virtuosity, flexibility and much more.

Give me a call or shoot me an email for your free 1 on 1 introductory session. Lets get started now.
