STT CROSSFIT FAMILY - As we all know MAJ M is leaving soon. I am going to attempt to provide programming that measures up to the world class standard he has provided over the past months. Over the next few days I will make some changes to the site to reflect the changes that are taking place. First, I had to change the logo because God help us all if I were to be part of a "Combat Advisor" team. Also, we are working to push this workout philosophy to more Soldiers FOB wide and applying for an official Crossfit Affiliation. That being said the name is being changed so that anyone will feel they can follow along no matter what unit. I will give a heads up when its going to happen but the blog URL will likely change to warriorcrossfit.blogspot.com soon too. Anyway if you think this new logo is horrible send me something and we'll see if that works. Also, please continue to post how you are doing on the WODs so that I can see what the strengths and weaknesses throughout the group are. Last but not least, if you see MAJ M this week be sure to thank him for the countless hours he has spent training, programming, educating and changing many or our lives for the better. I know I have learned so much and would like to say thank you and safe travels.

**********************************************************************************


Warm-up: Standard

Practice: Deadlift 3 x 5 reps of 65, 75, 85% of 1 rep max

Train: 3 rounds for max reps
1/2 body weight thrusters
1/4 body weighted dips (use a belt or curl a dumbbell between your legs)
Round to the nearest 5 or 10lb increment
3:1 rest to work ratio between rounds: so time how long it took to complete your round and multiply it by 3 for your rest period

*Thrusters are full front squat into locked out elbows overhead. The only rest position is with the bar overhead. Once you drop the bar down or cannot lock out a rep you're done son.
**Move from thrusters right into your dips; secure your weight and start pumping them out. Drop your chest to nipple line at the bottom and full locked out elbows at the top. The only rest position is in full extension at the top. Once you touch a foot down or cant lock out your elbows you're done
***Be realistic here with your weights, scale to 1/8 body weight dips if you need to (some may not be able to add any weight to the dips). But try to stay close to the prescribed weight for thrusters.
****DO NOT SCALE DOWN AFTER ROUND ONE - LIVE WITH YOUR DECISION!!

Comments: post your practice weights; and how many reps you completed of each exercise for each round

Post: Stretch it out CrossFitters; PNF contract/relax partner assisted stretching of quads and hammys at least

  1. MAJ M - Practice: 265,315(supposed to be 305 but easier to put 45lb plate on),345. Felt very strong on all sets; Train: bwt 190, 95lb thrusters, 50lb dips, 30/5, 20/5, 15/3. Brutal.
    Doc - thanks for the kind words, but I'm sure you'll do way better with the programming than I ever did. Oh, and remember how we were trying to get my elbow to pop this morning? May need to add 95lb thrusters into your repertoire as they did the trick nicely.
