-"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, WOW! What a Ride!"
-Yeah, but with Crossfit the bodies are nice!
Immediately after completing each set of squats perform 5 max effort box jumps - Not to be confused with a max height box jump. Your legs will most likely be fatigued from the squats, set up a box (with additional plates if needed) and challenge yourself to a Max effort box jump. Go as high as you can safely go. Rest as needed between sets.
Hell yes, it is Monday! Time to shake off the weekend and get something done. The sun is shining and the weather is perfect for running! Let's get some!
This week marks the beginning of the Reebok Crossfit Games Open season. During the nest 5 weeks athletes from around the world are going to test their hard work in the Open arena.
If you haven't registered for the open...Do It...here. You don't have to be a Firebreather to compete, but registering adds a level of ligitimacy and accountability.
These WODs are for everyone, and will be programmed for the Advanced/Intermediate classes at Crossfit St. Charles.
While everyone may not be able to do the wods as prescribed this is the time for EVERYONE to dig deep and push themselves. This is the time to compete with yourself. Maybe go a little heavier than you've allowed yourself. Jump on a little higher box. Take fewer breaks. F'ing try to do a double under! Chances are you will be surprised at what you can do. How else will you know?
