Also, for all you military, EMTs, police officers, and firefighters, make sure you hit the right check boxes to be in the Service Open as well!
This year’s Open is a little more special for a different reason. This year, CrossFit will be doing the release of 18.4 on 15 March at CrossFit Fury, in Goodyear. Right after the Right after the Open show, they will cut over to p\our location and have a special running of the WOD with military members from the area. How awesome is that! If you want to help out or compete on that event, talk to Coach Sherri.
WOD:
10 min AMRAP:
8 Burpees
8 Box Jumps (24/20)
4 min Rest
10 min AMRAP:
10 Ab Mat Sit Ups
10 Handstand Push Ups
Scaling Options:
BJ -> 20/14
HSU -> Pike Push Ups
Video courtesy of Jason Khalipa. PLEASE WATCH if you are scaling to Pike Push Ups. Far too often, I have seen folks attempt Pike Pushups and they turn into really bad versions of decline push ups. Please notice the body positioning as well as where the body moves from beginning to end. #MoveBetter
Video courtesy of Artis Strength & Conditioning. Artis co-owner (and all-around awesome person) Jen Day demoing the BTN split Jerk. Notice the bar path doesn’t go forward or back. it goes straight up. Also, watch how fast she drops under the bar once she extends the hips. Don’t think of pressing with your arms after the hip extension. Think pushing yourself UNDER the bar after the hip extension. And just like Tuesday, looking for 5 heavy singles (not a max out) and perfect form.
WOD:
For Time:
200M Run
30 Deadlifts (135/95)
400M Run
20 Deadlfits (185/130)
800M Run
10 Deadlifts (225/160)
Keep good form on the DLs. DO NOT let your form go south when things get heavy.
