15.1 Pre-Workout

Throw DOWN not UP.

5-worst-things-to-eat-pre-workout-suga_0

Nutritional Considerations for 15.1: Quick & Simple — No Donuts

If you are completing this workout at 9am on Saturday, like you should during the Saturday Morning Open, follow these guidelines:

If you wake early start with the 4 hours prior, if not go straight to 2 hours prior:

4 hours prior to workout: moderate protein, moderate carbs, low in fat, nothing that will cause bloating or a feeling of heaviness.

Ex: 2 eggs, 2 egg whites, 1 small sweet potato

Then, 2 hours prior to your workout keep your meal light and liquid (if possible): 10 – 15g of protein and carbs

Ex. 1/2 scoop of Metabolic Nutrition Peanut Butter Protein + Almond Milk

If your almond milk is unsweetened then grab a handful of berries (for your carbs) and you’re good to go. If your milk is sweetened then you’re all set with carbs.

*If you typically use a pre-workout formula, that’s fine to sip on while you warm-up. Just keep in mind you don’t want a belly full of water weighing you down. Simply use less water in your pre-workout mix today.**

POST WORKOUT Nutritional Considerations:

Same as it always is: on average 20-30protein + 30 – 60g carbs (depending on the size of athlete) in liquid form.

 If you’re not typically eating post workout, then you might need to think about remedying that, asap!

Post-Workout Cooldown Considerations:

Everyone should be moving aerobically for 20 minutes to safely cool down after this workout. This means hop on the airdyne or spin bike for a 20 minute easy spin and take a long walk around the parking lot. FOR REAL. Cool down before you sip on your post-workout.

Download a PDF of the workout description and scorecard

WORKOUT 15.1

Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 9 minutes of:
15 toes-to-bars
10 deadlifts (115 / 75 lb.)
5 snatches (115 / 75 lb.)

WORKOUT 15.1a

1-rep-max clean and jerk
6-minute time cap

Notes

These workouts begin with the athlete standing under their pull-up bar with the barbell loaded to the appropriate weight. After 15 toes-to-bars (sit-ups or hanging knee raises for scaled divisions) are completed the athlete will move to the barbell to perform 10 deadlifts followed by 5 snatches. After the last snatch is completed the athlete will move back to the pull-up bar and start their next round.

Your score for Workout 15.1 will be the total number of repetitions completed.

As soon as the clock reaches 9 minutes and Workout 15.1 is complete, Workout 15.1a will begin with the same running clock. The athlete will have from 9:00 to 15:00 to complete Workout 15.1a.

The same barbell must be used for both 15.1 and 15.1a. The athlete must load their own barbell and may not receive assis- tance. Prior to each lift you must state what weight you are about to attempt. Plates smaller than 1⁄2 lb. may not be used. There is no limit to the number of attempts within the 6-minute time limit.

Your score for Workout 15.1a will be the weight (in pounds) that you successfully clean and jerk.

Should the athlete choose to redo the workout, you must withdraw your scores for both 15.1 and 15.1a and resubmit both scores from the second attempt. You may not use your score from your first attempt at 15.1 and your score from your second attempt at 15.1a or vice versa.

Special Tiebreak
Your score for Workout 15.1a will be the weight of your heaviest successful clean and jerk. Scores will be recorded in one pound increments. If there is a tie at the exact same weight, lighter athletes will rank above heavier athletes. The body weight posted on your profile will be the weight used to break your tie, divided into 10-lb. classes; e.g. 180-189, 190-199, 200-209, etc.

Affiliates will be responsible for validating that an athlete’s body weight is within their weight class. If an athlete opts not to submit their body weight they will still have a valid score for Workout 15.1a, but they will be ranked lower than athletes that lifted the same amount of weight and also submitted their body weight.

Throw-down not Throw-Up

FUELING FOR THE CROSSFIT OPEN

396899_10150953844943227_1515060546_n

With the CrossFit Open 1 day away, you can pretty much guarantee you’re gonna have the pre-wod jitters. You know that feeling you get right before an intense CrossFit workout? Your pulse is racing. Your hands are sweating. You’re jumping up & down in nervous anticipation. You have to pee. You have to poop. You have to pee . . . Again.  

Sound familiar? 

There’s nothing you can do about the jitters. It’s your body’s natural response to stress. It’s “fight or flight“. What you can control is whether or not your stomach is full of undigested food, sloshing around, slowing you down, leading you to reach for the garbage can mid-burpee.  

There is a right way and a wrong way to FUEL (eat) before workouts. As we know, not all workouts, particularly in the CrossFit setting, are created equal. Therefore, I will be post my recommendations for PRE-Open workout fueling for each of the 5 open workouts as they are announced each week.  

Check back here, on the CrossFitOIB.com blog on Friday evenings at 6pm for your pre-open workout fueling guide. And be ready to THROWDOWN on Saturday morning . . . Not throw-up.

Sunday Night Meal Prep

sunday night meal prep

What’s the first thing you do after a 5 hour drive home from spending the weekend in Asheville? 

Hit the grocery store and stock up on the necessary goods for Sunday night meal prep!

The last thing I want on a Monday morning is NOT to be armed and ready with my meals for the day. Some days I spend upwards of 13 hours at the box. The ease of having my lunch, dinner, pre or post workout meal on the go, ready to consume at all times, is well worth the 90 minutes it takes on Sunday nights to prep. Taking 2 minutes to reheat my lunch or dinner every day is well worth the planning and prepping that I do one time a week!

Here’s what I prepped in under 90 minutes tonight:

6 days worth of Breakfast:

2lbs of Hot Italian Chicken Sausage – cut into small pieces to use in the AM as a supplement to my eggs (#ExtraProtein)

Chopped Red, Green, and yellow peppers 

6 Days worth of Meal #2 (my 11am meal)

Albacore Tuna packs

1 cup of chopped cucumbers 

6 days worth of lunches:

97% Lean Ground Beef Sliders (3oz each)

+ Steamed in the Bag Sweet Potatoes

+ Sautéed Zucchini 

6 Days worth of Post-Workout Dinner (the meal I eat 40-60 minutes after my post-workout shake)

More beef sliders

Couscous (yes, I eat couscous and brown rice to get my daily carb intake fix)

Sautéed green, red, and yellow peppers

Sure, I’ll be eating the same thing all week long. I could just have easily made two or three other meal options for this week, but it doesn’t bother me to eat the same thing 6 days in a row. (I might always have my nails done but I’m not that much of a diva!) I’m 4 weeks into a cutting phase and am already 7 pounds down . . . Ask me if it’s worth it:

4 weeks midsection
