All sessions today will be open gym format after the destruction of the 12 Days of Christmas Workout.
Feel free to come in and do a workout of your own creation, work mobility or get some one on one coaching.
For those that aren’t aware – CrossFitters that don’t turn up for the 12 Days of Christmas workout are immediately placed onto the naughty list!
The 12 Days of Christmas
For time:
1. Run 200m
2. Bar Muscle-ups
3. Hang Cleans 60/40kg
4. Box Step-overs 20/15kg (20″)
5. Toes to Bar
6. Parallette Shoot Through
7. C2B Pull-ups
8. KB Swings 32/24kg
9. Burpees
10. Overhead Lunge 20/15kg
11. Wall Ball 10/6kg
12. Shoulder to Overhead 60/40kg
This workout is performed as per the song “The 12 Days of Christmas”, so it’s 1, then 2,1, then 3,2,1 then 4,3,2,1 etc. This is obviously a long one so feel free to get into the gym early and get started on warming up so that you have the best shot at getting through the workout!
For load and time:
20 Burpees (over barbell)
20 Overhead Squats
20 Burpees
20 Front Squats
20 Burpees
20 Back Squats
*All lifts are from the ground.
Advice on loading: Pick a load for the OHS and FS that you might have a shot at getting unbroken but it shouldn’t be a certainty. The back squat is a little different – for the sake of safety (the bar is coming from the ground each time) pick a weight that you are confident that you can do UB. This should not be easy but should be UB.
Our last full week of training before Christmas! Let’s get in the gym and get some Turkey credits before the big day!
Every five minutes for five rounds:
Run 400m
25 KB Swings 24/16kg
Max. rep UB Chest to Bar Pull-ups
Scaling advice: If you’re not able to do big sets of pull-ups, disregard the UB element of the workout and pick a number of pull-ups that is slightly above what you can do in one set and chip away at getting through those reps in each round.
A. 1RM Thruster
B. With a continuously running clock complete 5 Thrusters every minute.
From 0:00-5:00 use 30kg/20kg
From 5:00-10:00 use 40kg/30kg
From 10:00-15:00 use 50kg/40kg
Continue adding 10kg every 5 minutes for as long as you are able.
Notes on scaling: I would like to see everybody get at least 10 minutes out of this one. If the prescribed weights are going to see you fail before 10 minutes, then feel free to use smaller increments to keep you in the game for longer.
