ATTENTION ATHLETES:

Due to a drop in manpower, we are not able to guarantee coaching availability for all scheduled classes.  Therefore, we have decided to terminate our current agreement with the gym for running advertised classes.

Bottom line: all of us that coach do it on our free time as volunteers, and since the number of qualified instructors has dropped, those of us that remain are unable to continually fill the slots the gym wanted us to without neglecting our full time military positions.  We hope in the future, if more volunteers come forward to cover a full class schedule again, we can reengage with the gym to try to “officially” be on their schedule.  We apologize to all involved, especially our athletes.  You guys are the reason we do what we do.

So, to that end, we plan on continuing to offer programming here on this webpage (not associated with the base) for our athletes to follow.  We will also keep you posted on any changes, should we come back for “official” classes.  In the meantime, you will most likely see our familiar faces at the gym, right around the normal class time, and if you join in with us for a workout, then cool.  We hope in the interim, this will suffice.

S/S/S:

Floor Press

WOD:

Complete as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:

30 second Handstand hold

30 second Squat hold

30 second L-sit hold

30 second Chin over bar hold

Post score to Comments

The 30 second holds are accumulative, meaning, if you drops after 15 seconds, shake it off, and go back up for an additional 15 seconds.  If you drop before the end of 15 seconds, jump back up and finish out the time.  This continues until you get 30 seconds of whatever the hold is. Then, and only then do you move on to the next move.

Two words, manageable chunks. Try to go unbroken per movement even if that means five extra seconds before moving on to compose yourself.

Thank you all who came out to wish Ed safe travels and give him one last awesome WOD!

WOD:

Bear Complex

5 rounds of Bear (7 reps of Power Clean/Front Squat/Push Press/Back Squat/Back Push Press)

Increase weight ea round

Video courtesy of CrossFit HQ. Goal is to NOT let the bar do more than a touch and go on the ground until all 7 reps are done per set.  That said, if you need to rest somewhere during the set, as long as you keep the weight off the ground, you’re fine (meaning, you can rest with the bar in the front rack position, overhead, or back squat rack position)

Today we say goodbye to JSCF original.  Luke’s own Captain (technically, Maj) America, Coach Ed.

Please come to the 0530 class for a special goodbye WOD in Ed’s honor.

WOD:

“Thank You Ed”

For Time:

56 Double Under Cash In (if it takes longer than 2 minutes then do another 56 double unders as penalty at the end of the WOD)

9  Hang power cleans (185/125)

11 Burpees over KB

6 Deficit HSPU (45/25)

26 Pull ups

354M Row*

*(10 burpee penalty for every 10 meters over 354)

Do all Burpees after the 4th round.

SCHEDULE NOTE!!!

We will not have classes this Thurs or Fri in observance of the 4th of July weekend.  We will still post WODs for those wishing to do it on their own, but no official classes on those two days.

REMINDER: Today will be Coach Ed’s last day coaching.  AND, Monday @0530 will be his going away WOD.  Fill the class!

S/S/S:

WOD:

For Time:

Cash In: 30 Hand Release Push-Ups

Four rounds of:

35 Double-unders

A steady rhythm wins this one.  Good fast speed on HRPU, then steady on the rounds so you don’t burn out, then balls to the wall on the last HRPUs!

Scale options:

Hand Release Push-Ups – on knees (up only)

Double-Unders – 2:1 Single-Unders and MUST do 5 min Double-Under work after WOD

200M run – 250M row

The above is a good shot of Coach Ed and his regular 0530 crew.  For those that don’t know, Ed’s last day of coaching will be this Friday and his going away WOD will be Monday, 29June at 0530.  So, please fill up the Friday class as well as Monday’s to say goodbye to an awesome coach!

Sumo Deadlift

Set 2RM

Prior to going for 2RM, do sets of 5, 5, 4, 3 before going for sets of 2

Mark Bell and Jesse Burdick hit up some pulls (obviously, we won;t be doing ours with resistance bands…but if we had a deadlift platform int he tent, that’d be cool….). Bell gives you the run down on how to pull and how important a neutral head position can be. Remember kids back flat and hips lower then your shoulders.

WOD:

For Time:

20 Pull Ups

15 Squat Cleans 155/115

10 Deficit (45/25 plate under each hand, nothing under your head) Hand Stand Push Ups

-3 min Rest

10 Pull Ups

10 Squat Cleans

5 Deficit Hand Stand Push Ups

-2 min Rest

5 Pull Ups

5 Squat Cleans

5 Deficit Hand Stand Push Ups

Score = total time minus 5 minutes

Scale options:
Squat Cleans – 75% of 1RM
Deficit HSPU -reg HSPU or /w 1 ab mat under head
Pull Ups – ring rows, with 5 min pull up practice after WOD

With the built in rest periods, treat the WOD as 3 SPRINTS!  So, finish (with good form) as fast as possible since you will have a chance to catch your breath before going again.

S/S/S:

Push Press

Set 2RM

Hands just outside the shoulders, elbows up, feet hip width apart, weight in the heels, dip-drive-press, and lock out with active shoulders. With multiple reps, use stretch reflex to go right into next rep. (Absorb the shock of the bar when it makes contact with your shoulders by bending the knees, which is the start of the next rep, so then drive up, open hips and launch weight back up). Watch from 1:19. Video courtesy of CrossFitHQ

WOD:

For time

3 Power Snatch 155/105 (or 80%1rm)

400MRun

4 Power Snatch

600M Run

5 Power Snatch

800MRun

For the snatch weight, it should be heavy (hence 80% of 1RM if scaling).  IF you don’t have a 1RM, and you have to scale, find a weight that you can handle for 6-7 reps with no more than a touch, reset, and go between reps in WU.
