WOD

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!

Yay! Pumpkins and stuff!! Quick Reminder: Gym is closed PM classes Thursday the 31st, and 5,6,7am Friday the 1st. ON THURSDAY: bring a deck of cards with you, or some digital alternative (not as cool). The deck of cards workout is fun, and works for Halloween!

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!

Heads up about Halloween. It’s always kind of a jacked two days, we’ve got a cool workout to day that day, but we’re gonna have a weird schedule. No evening classes on the 31st, and no 5,6,7am classes on the 1st of November (11am is happening). The 31st is a Thursday, and the 1st is a Friday. Plan accordingly, enjoy the candy and the general cuteness if you have young kids/nieces and nephews that sort of thing.

This week however, no surprises 🙂 Just beneficial workouts shared amongst friends. Cheers!
