Although I cringe at seeing the before pics I think it’s important to show the transformation. Today is my one year anniversary of joining Crossfit. I want to personally thank Coach Karen Candia, Head Coach and Owner of Crossfit Ocean Isle Beach, for her support, example and love of helping people become better versions of themselves. I also want to thank ALL the coaches, athletes and of course Fenway too! I have met and made many dear friends that are there each day by my side grinding out another grueling WOD and supporting each other like teammates we are! The journey began a year ago and there has been ups and downs but by no means is the ride over. Here’s to “drinking the koolaid” and absolutely loving every moment this far.

* Set 1 – 50% of 1-RM x 3 reps
* Set 2 – 75% of 1-RM x 2 reps

SPORT
A. Every 90 seconds, for 15 minutes (10 sets):
High Hang Clean + Power Clean + Clean
Build over the course of the ten sets.
B. Every minute, on the minute…
Back Squat
*Set 1 – 40% x 1 rep
*Set 2 – 50% x 1 rep
*Set 3 – 60% x 1 rep
*Set 4 – 70% x 1 rep
*Set 5 – 80% x 1 rep
and then…
Every 2 minutes…
*Set 6 – 85% x 1 rep
*Set 7 – 90% x 1 rep
*Set 8 – 95% x 1 rep
and then…
One set of:
80% Back Squat x Max Reps @ 20X1
(no excessive pause at the top – you get one full breath cycle, exhale, inhale, brace and descend – if you take longer than that your set is over)
Use the same weight as last week, and aim to beat last week’s score.
C. Every minute, on the minute, for 12 minutes:
Speed Deadlift x 3 reps @ 65%
Follow the link on “Speed Deadlift” for a good example of how these should be done…work on generating as much speed and power as possible once the barbell is separated from the floor. Reset the barbell every time on the floor…do not perform these touch and go.
