CROSSFIT REDDING

Thursday

Thursday WOD's

9a, 11a, 3p, 430p, 530p, 630p

New Fundamentals will start next Tuesday July 6th

Just like gasoline in your car food is our fuel. If we are filling up with low-grade "fuel" pre-workout, our performance will be exactly that... Low Grade. A light meal that consists of a Protein, Fat and Carb will certainly hold over that pre-WOD hunger. But we caution you. If that meal is too much or eaten too close to the WOD, it just might end up in the bucket.

Each of us are wired differently, what works for one may not work for the other. Experiment with pre-WOD meals.

Today was the kind of WOD where you want to push but as the rounds stack up your physically unable.

Way to work hard CrossFit Redding.

Wednesday

WODs at 6a, 9a, 11a, 3p, 430p, 530p, 630p.

Barbell Class at 530p.

Tuesday was "Pick your Poison".  The rep scheme was 2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 and you got to choose between "Overhead Squat" or "Front Squat".  Both movements have great value.  There is no better movement to expose mid-line weakness and flexibility issues than the Overhead Squat, and you will never have a good Clean unless you can do a good front squat.

Tuesday WOD's at 9a, 11a, 3p, 430p, 530p, 630p.

Remember, NEW FUNDAMENTALS class begins on Tues., July 6th. 

We hope you all had a great weekend.  On Monday, we got right back into the training with Push Press for the strength portion; then for Met-Con, it was Tabata Something Else.  Dr. Izumi Tabata came up with this mode of training and it seems to be highly effective for increasing cardio-respiratory endurance.

That rest is never long enough...

The Barbell Class seems to be a hit. Would you like to see another time slot for the Barbell Class?

As we start to feel the heat here in the North State be sure to drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration.

Speaking of water, Bryan took this shot of Emerald Lake in the Trinity Alps

Saturday

Saturday morning WOD at 9am.  Stretching at 10am.

Olympic lifting with Jordan at 8-10am.

Bring a friend and see why CrossFit is quickly becoming a fitness revolution.  

After a little strength work with Sumo Deadlifts, we celebrated Brian H. birthday with a little twist on the Mainsite WOD.  As a side note, Brian hit yesterdays WOD as RX'd which had 112 pullups in it.  A few months ago, he could barely get one. How many 14 year olds do you know that can do that?  

Here was our gift to Brian.

7 rounds of:

14 Double-Unders

14 Box Jumps (24"/20")

14 Kettlebell Swings (53#/35#)

Happy Birthday Brian!

A couple great things happened on Thursday.  We celebrated Denise birthday on Thursday with a FUN WOD of Running, Pullups, and Thrusters. 

Denise decided to take a well deserved Rest day on her Birthday!  Happy Birthday Denise.  CrossFit Redding loves having you and Gary in our family!

 

Thrusters are always great!

 

Also, we had FISH do "The Corner of Death" to earn his PHUKNPHIT shirt.  Completing a self imposed goal of sub 50 minutes on each, he did "RECON", "HELL-FRAN, and "BADGER as RX'd in less than a week (four days actually) to claim the first shirt earned by completing these three HERO WODs.

Fish working on "Badger" while Jordan is wrecked after finishing CrossFit Football HERO WOD "Kalsu".

 

Congratulations FISH!!!

 
 He conquers who endures.

Thursday

WODs at 9a, 11a, 3p, 430p, 530p, 630p.

Remember, the new FUNDAMENTALS class begins on July 6th.

Since everyone got their running in on Tuesday, we worked on SNATCH Wednesday.  One of the most dynamic exercises in all of sport, the Snatch is a very explosive movement that incorporates 8 of the physical skills.... Strength, Flexibility, Power, Speed, Coordination, Agility, Balance, and Accuracy.

Tara finally gets a new PR of 125#.  She had to take it for a walk, but she got it!

OH YEAH!  We know it's been quite a while since we RAN a 5k, so that is what we did on Tuesday.  5000 meters of PURE FUN!

We know it may not be the preferred WOD, but Running is an element of CrossFit and life that is necessary.

Anyone interested in Deuces Wild?

Today was a first for CFR, we ran a classic Nasty Girls.

While most didn't go Rx'd they did give one helluva battle.
