We have one day left of phase one of the 2021 CrossFit Games Open. If you plan on redoing 21.3/4, please come correct. The workout is a time, equipment and space pig. If you plan to re-do, please have a judge on standby. There is time available tomorrow, but let us know ASAP so we can plan our day. We are gonna keep the training cycle the same until we complete the quarterfinals the weekend of 9 April. We have a few folks in the hunt for advancing to the quarterfinals, so we will do this together. That means we all do the workouts – fun! This guy came to the rescue and then crushed 21.3 and 21.4. Thanks for being an all around awesome guy and athlete, Damon! AMRAP 2030 Doubleunders15 Kettlebell Swings 53/3510 Burpees with a jump over KB

I texted this from a gas station off I-5 at like 5pm after hearing the workout. 21.3 – Break it up early and often. You will burn up your legs. The workout for a large percentage is going to be: can you get into and knock out the Bar Muscle Ups. Plan that accordingly. 5’s for literally everything is what I recommend. 21.4 – Lift to your weakness. If you have a great jerk, but can’t clean, you are lifting to your clean. Same goes for he clean. If your jerk sucks, that’s what you are doing. Hook GripWear weightlifting shoesWarm up – I would do a ton of slow building on the deadlift/squat clean/jerk. Lots of barbell and light movements, always squatting your cleans. Unless you really suck at squatting, you should squat clean your lifts. If you came to Denny’s Friday weightlifting, give yourself a pat on the...

Please be aware we are going through a parking lot overhaul. Please park on the street by TL Davis and walk up to the gym for the time being. Extra fitness. I had programmed a parking lot run as part of Thursday’s workout but I have made an adjustment…let’s pull the boxes back out. As for equipment – if you check the equipment list for the Open, the last remaining times are a barbell with standard weights and a bar for common kipping movements…thrusters and pullups? Get your guesses in – WOD is announced tomorrow at 12pm PST. If you won’t be in the gym in the morning, text your guess to 209-345-4380.
