Tuesday’s WOD is not a CrossFit.com benchmark, # 40mg but it looks so gnarly, sildenafil I wanted to share it with everyone.  I had “Jackie” planned for this week, cost but we’ll give Jackie a spin next week. This is a pull and grip palooza.  I would recommend going into part 1 with a serious plan – in my head, I am thinking 5s.  I would greatly resist the urge to do 10 or 15 straight Cleans, as you may be lit up like John Thurman field after a Modesto Nuts game by the time your reach 37 Cleans or so.  That’s without even thinking about 50 C2B. I still believe this can be easily scale.  50 Hang Cleans to your ability, 150 singles unders or backwards, and 50 pull-ups or body pulls is a challenging workout that will expose weaknesses and change you on a cellular level if you...Read more

The Economics of Sleep Part 2 from Freakonomics Radio.  Even if you give it 2 minutes, see that will be eye opening.  Or closing.  The no screen window – no technology between 9p and 7a – gave the tester 1 more hour of sleep on the back end. We are on week 2 of 4 of our heavy single work.  I wanted to clarify how we are going to go about the session.  I explained it as a heavy single.  What it really is – take 10 minutes to get warmed up to 75% of your 1RM, then you have 5 minutes of so to perform 3 heavy singles at that weight.  If you can sneak a 4th rep in, do it. No Benchmark this Tuesday – just a challenging WOD that is scalable to any level: 50 Hang Power Clean 155/100, 150 Doubleunders, 50 Chest to Bar Pullups. Workout...Read more

I love excitement. Whether it is a great group of people coming to get better at life, try push themselves beyond what they know or even just supporting each other at the end of a hard workout. Excitement is fun. It’s motivating. Tonight we had one of the greatest moments in Crossfit Oakdale. There were pistols and pull-ups in today’s WOD. Hopefully no one said “I can’t do a pistol so I will stay home.” Any time there is a movement you have not mastered, pharmacy know that there is a progression to help you get stronger to eventually master that movement. For example – the pistol. A one-legged squat is no joke. We can use boxes to find our balance, website like this we can use a ball as a target. We can even modify with a walking lunge. Less than 10 minutes (during the 5:30pm class) into the WOD...Read more

*** Modesto Nuts game is Saturday at 7:05pm at the John Thurmond Field. If you ordered tickets, thumb please pay up! We do have 3 extra tickets – let me know if you want one. $9.50 each. We can meet to tailgate in the parking lot at 5:30pm. I will get the tickets to you then.***   After the Pullup-Palooza that was 2007 (125 pull-ups) in 100 plus degree heat, # I told myself that we would not exceed 75 pull-ups in a WOD until it cooled down.  Well, troche I guess 80 is close enough. This WOD comes from CrossFit Linchpin, and although there are a lot of pull-ups, there are even more Pistols.  I generally keep Pistols (alternating one legged squats) to smaller sets, but every once in a while, you have to throw some big sets out there to really test efficiency, For me personally, I had...Read more
