Look below for yesterday’s post about integrity of reps.  We’re dead serious about holding the standard for honesty.  If you need more convincing, check out some of our previous posts about it:

“Grace”
30 Clean & Jerks for time: (135/95)
*Compare to 6/19/17

Priority #1: Proper positioning (midline stable – not flexed or extended; feet flat on pulls, receiving, and driving; no early arm pull; proper rack position on receiving and driving; full extension overhead on completion; maintaining leverage in eccentric phase; etc.)
Priority # 2: Move as fast as you possibly can with your load while supporting Priority 1.

I.e., this workout should push the limits of your anaerobic capacity.  It should be uncomfortable – VERY uncomfortable towards the end.  To push your anaerobic capacity you must move quickly, with minimal (if any) rest.  To reach our intentions for your physical capacity you must challenge your threshold.  Be great.

Auxiliary
3 Rounds:
A) Ring Roll Outs x 10 Reps
B) Russian Twists – slow  x 30 Seconds
C) Dumbbell Chest Fly x 8 Reps

Hey.

We just wanted to let you know… we know.

We, your coaches, know 100% when you are shaving reps. You see, this is our job. We have a great idea of how many wallballs are possible in 1 minute; we know pretty much how long it takes to do 30 kettlebell swings. We know, because we do the same workouts, and we watch YOU do the same workouts, each day. And we do this EVERYDAY. We also know you, our client, probably better than you know yourself as an athlete. We know what you are capable of, and what you aren’t; yes, sometimes we are surprised by how far you’ve come, but we have a pretty good idea of who you are 🙂

We pride ourselves in being great. We can spot gross errors in movement patterns from across the room. We can fine-tune a jerk for EACH individual athlete. We want you to be great, and we will do anything to get you there – including calling you out when you are cheating yourself.

Now, to be clear, there IS such a thing as scaling/modifying. You know this, and you know we ENCOURAGE it when necessary. We just want you to be honest. If you did 25 double unders per round, and the prescription was 40, just say so. WE DON’T CARE HOW MANY YOU DID.

You see, when you are working out next to someone who is trying their hardest, doing ALL the reps, and you move on to the next movement before you hit the actual number, it’s incredibly frustrating and discouraging. It is the antithesis of what we are about at CFM. So, we would like to ask you kindly, here in this post, to stop it. Please and thank you.

This week will be similar to last week in regard to the format and movements, which will give you the opportunity to improve in regard to movement quality, ROM, load, and reps.  Again, it is very important to be ready to start your workout when the class starts, so be early to perform your warm up.  Some days this week will have “Auxiliary” work, which means you can come early or stay late to work on extra capacity, but all Auxiliary work is voluntary, and may be inappropriate for you if you are tired.

Skill/Stability/Strength

Again, it is important to be early (or at least on time) to your class to perform your own individual warmup before class.  Group warmups will be short, and likely insufficient to properly prepare you for the day’s movements.

Skill/Strength/Stability 

4-5 Rounds:

A) Suitcase Deadlifts x 5 reps each side
B) Strict Handstand Push-ups x 8 to 12 reps (or HSPU negatives x 3 to 5 reps; or Wall Climbs x 3 to 5 reps)

Auxiliary
3 Rounds:
A) Double Handle Bent Row x 10 Reps
B) Hollow Rock x 20 – 30 Seconds
*Auxiliary work is designed to act as a compliment to each day’s programming for those who prefer to develop additional capacity.  Coaches will give instruction and feedback for auxiliary work for those who want it, but no class time will be dedicated to the Auxiliary work. Feel free to come early or stay late for this.

Skill/Stability/Strength

Conditioning
40 Dumbbell Burpee Box step Overs (20″ max height for everyone)
*No prescribed load.  Work continuously with challenging load.

Today, as every day, is an opportunity for you to improve in one or many aspects.  The object is to develop (or reinforce, as the case may be), proper positioning and elicit a stimulus for adaptation.  I.e., push yourself and you will get better.

Also, classes for the next few weeks will require nearly the fully allotted hour.  Please come in early and perform your warm up.  Time for class warm ups will be brief, if at all.
