WOD

Here we go! Monday kicks off the 12 Days of CrossMass. Monday through Thursday are 4 specific workouts, 1, 2, 3 and 4. These are the first 4 of the “12 Days” it takes to complete the 12 Days of CrossMass. For the next 3 weeks we’ll be smashing this as we have in years past. I hope you have records to smash, and are feeling solid about giving it a go.

Details: Friday is the Make-Up day, there is a workout that you earn by completing Days 1-4, if you missed one of the workouts, you’ll get to make it up on Friday. If you missed two, sheesh. Double day? Rarely a sound plan 🙂 Saturdays are proper team smash sessions and have nothing to do with the 12 Days, other than making sure you look jacked when you go to the mall and get a PSL or smoothie or something.

Looking ahead to December for you planners out there 🙂 Regular schedule until Sunday the 21st, please make notes on your schedules from the following:

These two weeks will be a Ward only show! AND this is going to be awesome, I hope you think it will be too: these classes will be 90 Minute Classes, and you can go to either gym (whichever fits your schedule the best) to try and help you guys get in where you fit in! It’ll be super fun, we’ll do a couple workouts (lift and get tired) with enough time to actually train everything, warm-up and cool down properly, and with all you guys coming it’ll be a packed house and awesome!

Hey guys! Short week! I hope you all have major weekend plans for revelry, relaxation, and really really full stomachs! Reminder: the gym will be closed Friday and Saturday, and a really short schedule Thursday. 8am and 9am classes for the Cornucopia Workout.

The Cornucopia Workout:
BE EARLY. The reps alone take about an hour. So Heat 1 needs to START at 8am, which means you’re there about 7:40am doing a leg swing or two, grabbing some gear etc. So Heat 2, you’re getting to the gym about 8:40am while the teams are smashing the rowers, and then scavenging for gear and getting your space set up so that we can start at 9:00am. It’s hectic! But it’s also awesome.

***NOTICE*** This is a fun thing, and people love to bring friends, I like friends too, but this is a super super rough workout for the uninitiated. It’s just too many sets of legs and they typically have a fitness emergency somewhere around the Burpees. Not cool to do to your friends. If they’ve been properly CrossFitting somewhere (like Scott’s friend Scott) then they can jump in and have a good time. If they “workout” i.e. run, or do like machines at Globo or something, it’s a mistake 🙂 Hugs, you’re that much fitter than your friends, where a fun holiday workout for you can earn them a trip in an ambulance, it’s nuts. Cheers.

Details: The teams are loosely set as of this weekend. It’s fine to make changes, and the day of there will always be shuffling and reorganizing, don’t stress, I got this. This is our 17th Cornucopia! There’s often a few out-of-towners that come and partake, wild, but they show up. So we’ll find them a team and it’ll be grand.

Workouts:

Monday: “Kevin” LCF/TIL Rx: 3 Rounds for Time: 24 Deadlifts (185/135 lb), 24 Hanging Hip Touches (alternating arms), 400 meter Running Farmer Carry (10 lb dumbbells)

YO! This week is 2k Ski Week, how this works: you can come early/stay late do a double day, whatever, and do you 2k Ski Time Trial. A “2k” is 2000m continuously for time, on a C2 Ski Erg. We have two in the gym.

CRUSH IT.

ALSO!!! Sign-ups for Cornucopia will be put up Monday 5am (if it’s not, please remind me!). Edmonds gets 4 spots, Lynnwood gets 5 spots. I’m encouraging teams of 3-4 athletes this year. NO TEAMS OF 5. The feedback I’m getting from the last two years is that people aren’t really sore at all. That’s not right! So let’s do it this way and ensure a proper training stimulus! You’re all too fit, how cool is that?!

Remember guys, the week of Thanksgiving, we smash Thursday AM and then we’re closed the rest of the week. Enjoy the break, enjoy your families, and enjoy the fall weather!

Yo! Deck of Cards week!! I included the layout from years past below, the gym has ample decks of cards. Remember guys we’re closed the PM on Friday. Furthermore, I’m thinking about shutting it down for Saturday AM also. It’s one of those days like July 5th, where the night before is rough, and sleep is king. If you’re dying to make sure you train saturday morning, talk with Eileen and Kayla and help them to get an idea of how many are coming, we’ll make our choice by Wednesday and have it posted IN THE GYMS.

Remember how this works? Flip a card, do what it says, and then flip again. Speed is king.

Suits: When you flip card, e.g. 8 of Diamonds, you do 8 Overhead Squats, next you flip a of clubs, do 6 Calories on a rower.
Spades: Deadlifts 185/135
Hearts: Pull-ups
Diamonds: Overhead Squats 115/75
Clubs: Rowing Cals

Special Cards and Scenarios: 15’s are anything that adds to “15” 9 and 6, 8 and 7, face cards and 10’s with a 5 etc. You flipped 7 of Clubs, you rowed your calories, then flipped an 8 (seven plus 8, that’s 15!!) the 8 “made” the 15, so skip the 8. Flip again and keep going.

Ace of Spades: Hold a Max Handstand Hold
Queen of Hearts: Ski 15 Calories
“15’s:” Skip Whichever the last card that made the “15”
Pairs: Act as if prior suit was played
Jacks: (get jacked) 20 Biceps Curls 45/33
