WOD Monday 12th Dec 2011

By Gavin Heselton|2011-12-11T22:50:09+00:00December 11th, 2011|Information, WOD|

CrossFit Total: Strict Press: Single Rep Max, 3x Attempts Back Squat: Single Rep Max, 3x Attempts Deadlift: Single Rep Max, 3x Attempts This constitutes the first of the final assessments for those on the Palaeo Challenge although, those members who were around at the start and mid-points can also check their progress against their previous efforts. Olympic lifting continues this Tuesday: The throwdown has shown up a lack of experience and problems with technique for some - come along and have this addressed by our two vastly experienced coaches. Gladiator Weightlifting Club are running a competition on Sunday (18th) at their facility and all are welcome to either spectate or compete - this would be a good chance for those who attend the OL classes to demonstrate their mastery of the Clean and Jerk and the Snatch - that's right, mastery. Parkour runs as normal on Thursday night and there will also be a Parkour conditioning session on Sunday that promises to be well attended and good fun. Any athletes who have yet to complete all 3 Workouts for the London throwdown should ensure they get in for this, especially the ladies. The organisers of the event have stressed that it is important for even the non-Rx female athletes to post scores: there may well be extra spaces to fill for London. well done to all who have taken part, regardless of how you placed - it has been a tough week and you have all done exceptionally well. Good Work!

We will start judging from Tuesday, in order for things to run as smoothly as possible here are the guidelines: We will endeavour to have as many lvl1 coaches on hand at peak times (5.15 and 6.15 WODs) but you will not be judged if only 1 is present. Before and after is fine. Each person can be judged once, if you wish to be judged a second time for any given WOD then a small charge may apply or others who have yet [...]
