Chelsea


Look familiar? We all have been there!

WOD~"Chelsea"
5 pull ups
10 push ups
15 squats
Each min on the min for 30 min. If you begin to fail, just continue and count total rounds completed in the 30 minutes. How far can you make it? 10min? 15 min? 20 min? The full 30?

Post how many rounds were completed successfully, followed by total rounds in 30 min. EXAMPLE: If you were able to follow for 16 rounds, then fell behind and completed another 10 before the 30 min time limit ran out, post it like this: 16/26

Playing around with gymnastics skills!


Gymnastics skills are so foundational to well-rounded fitness. I know, I know.... in general many of us have visions of men and women running around in tight pants or leotards flipping over various apparatus. However, lets be clear about what I mean by gymnastics training, specifically as it applies to CrossFit. Our use of gymnastics here simply refers to body weight exercises that develop the neurological skills (accuracy, agility, balance, and coordination). These are all components that we need to try and reach to become better athletes. In addition calisthenic style movements help to develop strength and flexibility. So what are the gymnastics skills that I am talking about? Well, they consist of pull ups, push ups, squats, handstands, and muscle ups to name a few. Skills that we will continue to work on improving each week!

WOD
~
1 rep max clean
Then...

"Clean Ladder"
1 clean the first min.
2 cleans the second min.
3 cleans the third min.
Etc. Until you reach failure.

Post the number of rounds successfully completed.

If time allows, practice handstand holds as a finisher.
