WOD

Saturday is for the Team WOD, not for make-up day. See what you can do to get in 🙂 The point of this is to help you guys try out other class times that you’re not used to, but that you can TOTALLY make it to. And to help you get a good last burst of fitness leading into the new year!

Hey team!

The Cornucopia Workout is just around the corner, and we couldn’t be more excited to share this tradition with you. This year’s event is set for Thursday, November 28th, with heats starting at 8:00 AM and 9:00 AM. Please arrive at least 15 minutes early to warm up and get your gear ready so we can kick off promptly.

The Cornucopia WOD is a team workout designed for groups of four—the “Goldilocks” number that ensures everyone stays engaged without too much downtime. If you prefer a team of three, be prepared to push yourselves a bit harder. Teams of five are also welcome, but keep in mind there might be more waiting between reps.

This workout is a challenging one, taking about an hour to complete. It’s a fantastic opportunity to come together, push our limits, and celebrate our community’s strength and camaraderie. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or new to the gym, the Cornucopia WOD is all about participation and giving your best effort.

After the workout, we’ll be closing the gym for the rest of the week to allow everyone time to relax and enjoy the holiday with loved ones. We’ll reopen on Monday, December 2nd, ready to tackle new challenges together.

There are sign-ups in the gym. If it’s full, please find a spot that will work. The gym can get too full 🙂

Looking forward to seeing you all there!

YO! The week before Cornucopia! For your planning guys, we’re gonna run 8 and 9am Thursday the 28th and then shut it down the rest of the week. I hope you get to take some time to relax with your crew, watch some movies (not Hallmark) and recharge a bit. The Cornucopia WOD is a team workout, with 4 participants. If you want to make a team of 3, that’s OK y’all just better be FIT. If you wanna make a team of 5, that’s cool too, just be prepared that it’s a lot of waiting for your turn to do reps. Teams of 4 is the “Goldilocks” number, just right 🙂 Please remember that the workout really does take an hour, so by “8am” what I mean is get in the gym at 7:45am and be moving and warming up, and getting gear so we can start at 8:00am, and 9amers, remember that you’re walking into chaos, and you’re not gonna be done until 10:15 or so 🙂

I’m stoked for Thanksgiving though, it’s always a great time, people come from all over to join us, the gym is packed packed, it’s great 🙂 I hope to see you there!

YO! Kayla is still gone this week! Sad! NEXT week is Veterans Day (we’re closed that day, the 11th).

Also: a quick reminder for you guys about bringing “+1’s” to the gym. WE DIG IT. We know it’s important to your daily schedule and most likely if you couldn’t bring the baby, dog, teenager, grandparent etc., you wouldn’t be able to make it that day to train. We know 🙂 We want you to train hard each and every day. Thank you for taking the measures you’re taking to train the dogs, have the treats, go pee ahead of class (and during class!), bring toys, have a mat for “place,” hiring baby sitters for your child, bringing devices to entertain, taking time out to soothe crying littles, looking at less busy class times, educating the teens on where to be that’s out of the way and that the gym isn’t play time for them, you do so much! AND, it’s essential!!

The coaches are going to manage their space so the athletes and +1’s are safe, but this is a bigger increase in responsibility than I think people think. Bars are dropping, people are getting on and off the ground, people are cussing, kettlebells are overhead, people are landing on the ground from muscle-ups: little ones under foot, or a dog limb misplaced would be TRAGIC. So 🙂 Just a quick reminder to keep being amazing, and if your coach needs you to move, reposition, be sequestered in a safe corner, be awesome and acquiesce to this request. THANKS!

Furthermore: Cornucopia is coming! It’s about a month away! Teams of 3-4 is the way 🙂 If you’re really worried about the reps a team of 5 is OK.

Workouts:

Monday: Max Rounds in 10 Minutes of: 3 Bar Muscle-ups, 5 Bench Presses 185/135, 7 KB Swings 70/53

Tuesday: Drag Races! 20 Push-ups, 600m Run, rest as needed, 4 rounds

Wednesday: Power Snatch for 1RM

Thursday: Deck of Cards (See below)

Friday: Jerk Max 3

Saturday: Every 2 Minutes for 20 Minutes: 3 Squat Cleans, 3 Hang-Clusters, 3 Thrusters 135/95

Deck of Cards Workout:

Spades = Deadlifts 185/135
Hearts = Pull-ups
Diamonds = Overhead Squats 115/75
Clubs = Rowing Cals

“15’s” Skip Whatever Card made the “15”
Pairs Repeat as if prior suit was played
Jacks 20 Biceps Curls 45/33
Queen of Hearts = Ski 15 Calories
Ace of Spades = Hold a Max Handstand Hold

Take your deck of cards, shuffle it, and then flip the top card, do what it says 🙂 E.g. 10 of Spades is 10 Deadlifts 185/135, 7 of Hearts is 7 Kipping Pull-ups, 3 of Diamonds is 3 Overhead Squats, 9 of Clubs is 9 calories on the rower. Every “Jack” is 20 Biceps curls (you got jacked!), if you get a pair, e.g. 10 of spades (deads) followed by a 10 of hearts (you’ve got to do Deads again, “repeat as if prior suit was played”). If you make a 15, like 10 of hearts (10 pull-ups) then you flip 5 of spades, skip it! 10 + 5 = 15, the 5 made the “15” so skip it, 3 or 4 cards can also make “15’s”, E.g. King (10) + 2 + 3 = 15! Face cards are all worth “10” when counting reps, or for making 15’s. Ace of Spades and Queen of Hearts are special. The Ace of Spades turns everything upside down, and you have to bow before the queen of hearts, after all :). You’re going to mess it up at least once, don’t worry! Have fun with it!
