<br />
Wednesday we went for a little Tabata mash up. For anyone who doesn't know what Tabata is, it's 20 seconds of work and 10 seconds rest for 8 intervals per exercise. We did four exercises including, wall balls, kettlebell swings, flutter kicks, and push ups. This was a solid little workout and you could tell by the end of the workout everyone was pretty spent. I think the Ladies (Alison and Kristina) pulled the highest scores of the day. Nice work!!West Valley Crossfithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04650250329926197625noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945511765624995678.post-91514947162796392452011-02-21T22:19:00.000-08:002011-02-21T22:26:36.113-08:00Catch Up Time!!!That was one of the hardest weeks we've had in awhile! We did benchmark W.O.D. "Angie" last Tuesday and it just about wrecked us all...lol Really though, it took some of us a few days to recover from this one. We had a nice squat and sprint workout on Wednesday with another benchmark WOD "Annie" on Thursday. There was no rest for the weary with "Kelly" on Friday. Needless to say, it was a physically taxing week.<br />
<br />
Lately, it has been getting extremely competitive @ WVCF, and its just adding to all the fun. Times are<br />
getting faster and the gap between finishers are getting narrower. Keep it up guys and gals and check the leaderboard for all the recent WODs.<br />
<br />
Here are a couple of the Wods from last week.<br />
Tuesday: Wednesday: <br />
"Angie" Back Squat 5,5,3,3,3 <br />
100 Pull Ups Take 50% of last rep and<br />
100 Push Ups do 5 rounds of:<br />
100 Sit Ups 12 back squats and a<br />
100 Squats 200 m shuttle run @ 50m<br />
increments.<br />
<br />
Thursday: Friday:<br />
"Annie" "Kelly"<br />
50-40-30-20-10 400m run<br />
Double Unders 30 box jumps 24"<br />

<div>I'm extremely excited to see West Valley headed in the right direction. We are coming off our busiest week since we've been open and it was an absolute blast. The camaraderie was at an all time high and people are just absolutely killing some of these WODS(relatively). The most impressive part of this month has been the intensity in which all of our new folks have been bringing day in and day out. I think we had a couple of folks hit 5 days straight this week. Not to mention, these were not easy WODS to tackle. </div><div>Also, special shot out to some of our regulars who have been consistently killing these WODs.</div><div>I could write a 2 page blog listing all the great things you guys are doing in the gym but what for,</div><div>we all see it day in and day out.

</div><div>We are now offering an open gym opportunity Saturday mornings 8-10am. Keep in mind there will still be a 8am class in the gym and they will have first priority over the equipment.(I doubt there will ever be a conflict as we are all pretty easy going.) A few had asked about time to work on other skills/ strengths outside the <div>everyday classes so this will be a great opportunity for those. I am also working on another time to open the gym as well. Any input from you guys would be great! Maybe after the early class 7:30-9:00am?? Before the 10:00am class?? After one of the night classes?? Let me know what works?</div><div><br />

Needless to say, we're sore. So taking on these snatch balances was going to be a challenge. Good job to everyone! Tomorrow's workout looks like we'll get a break!! 100 Burpee pull ups for time.

First, we put a small met-con together to get the blood pumping. Then we spent some time getting our shoulders nice and loose before we got into the overhead squats. <br />
Congrats to Andres who put up a new PR on the OHS today. That's an even more impressive feat considering he told me he's down even more weight keeping strict to his Paleo Diet. Nice work, man!<br />

"So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened".</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bbbbbb; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bbbbbb; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Indeed these past few days we have been moderately tough on you and we congratulate you on your efforts to succeed. Thrown through the fire pit and you have reached a turning point. Offer yourself a pat to the back, or wait till the end of the line. We still have a few more days in store, do not hang your heads or hats, for there is still work to be done.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bbbbbb; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bbbbbb; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bbbbbb; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Mondays workout, was an awesome turnout. Everyone participated and did exceptionally well, and for which we are proud. And with that said, I have developed a part two to the Super Set Me series. Combined 3 rounds of 20 meters of tire flips and barbell overhead lunges, 10 dead lifts and 10 handstand pushups, 10 push press and 10 sumo dead lift high pulls, 10 double unders and sit ups, all-the-while finishing with the dramatic 10 burpees and ball slams.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bbbbbb; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bbbbbb; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Again, Ive seen major improvements in everybody efforts lately. I may not say it much, but i am super proud of all of you for your continued effort to succeed. Laughing in the face of "Death before DNF". Lastly, Id say rest for Friday, but nope.. take a warm bath with about a cup to a cup and half of "Epsom Salt" (found at most grocery stores) soak for about 12-17 minutes, self massage your legs .. Top, bottom, inside, outside, work down into the calf, so on and so forth. I look forward to seeing every ones bright and perky faces tomorrow and Friday!!</span>West Valley Crossfithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04650250329926197625noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945511765624995678.post-74859220761843152452011-01-26T21:08:00.000-08:002011-01-26T21:08:07.882-08:00SlackerIm reposting this from our trainer RJ's blog who will soon be a part of this blog. This was his blog about the morning class from Monday. It looked as if the workout in todays morning class was just as challenging. Good job morning class, you guys are on fire!!<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bbbbbb; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Ok so ive been a slacker. I apoligize for that. then again, arent we all when it comes to something different in our own lives? Im not saying that you are by anymeans, but leaving something out, or choosing not to do something, either cause we dislike it or simply cause we do not want to, would claim us to be a slacker.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bbbbbb; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bbbbbb; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bbbbbb; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">While growing up, as most people, thru the traditional sports programs have left me access to an open globo gym style to gain strengh and knowledge of pushing, pulling, opening the hip as well as movements of closing the hips. Simply what we crossfitters do on a daily basis. Yesterday, I challenged the group with doing such movements in an exhausting duo of exercises, that challenged the pushing, pulling, opening and closing the hip. Great Job to all those who completed the exercises.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bbbbbb; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bbbbbb; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bbbbbb; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Completing the uneasy task of the "Superset Me" workout, was just that, uneasy. Combining the exercises bench press and GHD situps, back squats and double unders with a jump rope, kettlebell swings and pullups, wallballs and modified rope climbs, and finishing the group tasking together ballslams and hand release pushups. all combined for 3 rounds of each duo, unable to pass the person infront of you, i believe gave the nip in the butt to encourage those infront of those who were ready to move forward. Again, great job to those who participated yeterday, and i encourage you all to return for tomorrows workout. :)</span>West Valley Crossfithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04650250329926197625noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945511765624995678.post-9690591853417051892011-01-12T11:20:00.000-08:002011-01-12T11:22:30.279-08:00Monday WOD<h3 class="UIIntentionalStory_Message" data-ft="{"type":"msg"}" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="UIStory_Message">Mondays WOD: 3 rounds of 9 pull ups, 30 wall balls, 12 Handstand push ups, and 15 power cleans @135#. It was a good one!! The main site called for Muscle ups on this one so we substituted pull ups and added dip work into the warm ups. I</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: small;">m making a bold prediction and saying Bryan and Rob will land a muscle up in the near future. Keep working on those guys! </span></span></h3><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: small;">Remember, we will be starting our Paleo Challenge next Monday so get weighed in ASAP come next week.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: small;">Also, West Valley Ski Trip is next Saturday the 22nd.

Some of us held nothing back from what it sounded like. :-) Which is ok if your back in the gym Monday morning hitting a monster Wod. And a monster Wod it was. We did 1/2 of "Bull" which was, 200 double unders, 50 overhead squats, 50 pullups, and a 1 mile run to finish it off. Can you imagine doing two rounds of this?? Ive never looked forward to a mile run like i was on this workout!<br />
Also, it was nice to see some new faces in the gym these last few days. Welcome Debbie, Jimmy, and James. You guys have been killing it so far!
