In lieu of the regular 6:30pm class THIS Friday, we will be holding our annual Holiday WOD and Potluck. For those of you who are on the blog awaiting the workout every night at 8p (and are likely angry that this post didn’t go live until 8:08pm), we CAN tell you that this one will be a “12 Days of Christmas WOD” again. But if Christmas isn’t your thing, no worries at all. Consider it a non-denominational celebration of all things CrossFit that just happens to have a rep scheme that follow the pattern of the 12 Days of Christmas. Like the song, you will complete each exercise in ascending order then work back down to 1, adding one exercise per round. Like this: 1; 2-1; 3-2-1; 4-3-2-1; etc – for a total of 364 reps. But of course we won’t reveal ALL of it. The movements will be a secret and taunt you for the next month — just like that wrapped present you’re not allowed to touch until the big day!

Coach’s Tip: Today we are back at it for our accessory work on the pressing cycle. For the handstand hold, you can walk into it. This will ensure a good position and make it scalable for most people who might be afraid of being upside down completely (you can stay at an angle) . We fire up the shoulders then finish with Grace! Might not be a PR time for anyone since we are hitting the shoulders hard, but really try to push through. We’re putting a 10 minute cap on the workout, so find the weight and scale that works for you!
Joey has come so far in such a short time. From pulling big weights to nailing his kipping pull ups, he’s become a beast!
