Power

JQ - Clean PR (185#)

JQ - Clean PR (185#)

Complete one clean per minute for as many minutes as possible. You can utilize either the clean, or the power clean in this WOD. Regardless, you must start each lift from the floor. You may fail as many times as is needed before completing a successful rep, just so long as you are able to successfully clean your weight within the one minute time frame. The point of this WOD is to go heavy. Do not choose a weight that you are comfortable with. Work on perfect execution of the movement and efficiency.

We’re back!

Ginger's first day... Memories!

Ginger's first day... Memories!

For those of you that hadn’t heard, the server was down for the last few days. Hence the absence of regular posts. But, all is right once more in Cyberspace. We’re back, and we’ve got a few things to cover. First, Ginger is gone. She moved off to New Orleans this week but wanted me to post the following little note for all to see:

CF Minneapolis,

It was such a great experience to work out with all of you!!!! I will miss seeing you all so often!!! Take care and good luck!! I will do my best to represent Minneapolis in New Orleans. Get a hold of me if you ever make it down my way.

XOXO,

Ginja

She also left her email address and phone number for those of you who would like to contact her. I didn’t feel comfortable posting it here online, but if you need it, let me know.

The next piece of information that needs to be covered is today’s WOD:

“Air Force WOD – kinda”

For time:
20 Thruster
20 SDHP
20 Push Press
20 OHS
20 Front Squats
Men – 95#
Ladies – 65#

Finally, I’d like to have a “town hall” style gathering in the gym soon.  There are some things that need to be discussed and I’m sure that there might be a few questions floating around out there that should be answered.  I’d like to do it tomorrow night. What I had in mind was a single evening class in which we would have a bad-a$$ team WOD followed by beers (or water) and a little, old fashioned powwow (yes, that is how you spell it).  Of course, I recognize that not all members will be able to attend said powwow, but depending on the feedback I receive in class tonight, and on the message board later on, I’ll post a decision on what we’ll do. So please post if you can or cannot make it, or if you’ve got another idea altogether.

Alrighty, that’ll do, pig.

Classes at CFSP on Monday…

This is a reminder that CrossFit Minneapolis will be closed tomorrow, Monday the 13th. CrossFit St. Paul has offered to host all CFMPLS athletes at their gym during any of their listed class times. Class at CFMPLS will resume according to the usual schedule on Tuesday.  I apologize for the inconvenience.

Five rounds:
1 Strict Press
3 Push Press
5 Push Jerk

There is no time component to this WOD. Increase loads with each completed set. You are not allowed to rack the bar or set the bar down on the ground during a set – this would terminate the effort as a failed attempt.
