15.1 has been announced it it looks like a fun one.  It is a little on the light side, stomach but that does to mean it should be taken lightly.  You may be inclined to rip off 15 straight Toes to Bar, page but I would highly advise against it.  Toes to Bar should likely be done in 5-5-5, shop 3s or if you are a machine 9-6 or 8-7.  For many of us, the DL will be unbroken and singles will work very well on the Snatch, although a few chained reps may be ok at the light-ish weight. For the Clean and Jerk portion, keep weight handy, and load as soon as you finish.  BUT…I wouldn’t attempt a lift until a minute or 2 have passed.  If you are planning a huge lift, you may have to take some warm up sets, but in all likely hood, you...Read more

You may have noticed coaches are no longer recommending substitutions for Doubleunders.  That is because we are not.  For many of you, diagnosis the struggle for DU is real.  But we want you to understand the effort required to make the jump from singles to doubles is great. So you have to do them.  In lieu of 50 DU, drug you may do 10 DU attempts and 10 Burpees.  Who doesn’t love more Burpees? From here going forward, about it we will provide scaling options in DU WODs that will mix DU attempts with Burpees or some simple substitution. Here’s to chaining big DU sets in the future!

The CrossFit Open first WOD, stuff 15.1, tadalafil will be announced Thursday night at 5pm.  I have ever intention of programming it as the WOD for both Friday and Saturday.  We will have to play it by ear, because we literally have no idea what will be thrown at us.  Be fit, be hydrated and have fun. Ideally, you will have you best run at the WOD on Saturday – think of that as game day.  Eat a breakfast of champions (which is probably something light) grab your favorite T shirt and your lucky socks and hit 15.1 with us on Saturday.  We will have heats from 9am onto completion. If you plan doing the Open WOD on Friday, great! If you plan on doing it on Saturday, but you want to work out on Friday, I will provide an alternate prepatory WOD for you.  Something like 5 Rounds, 500m...Read more

CrossFit Oakdale had a great Skill Clinic on Saturday.  It was a great chance to slow down a little bit, look and focus on the positions that are fundamental to good movement.  It was great to get even a little bit of one on one time with each one of you that attended.  We hope to have more Skill Clinic in the future – please let us know what you would like us to focus on.  Thank you to all the CFO Coaches who took the time to come in and work with everyone. Alison and I clean up the Speal bars so they are not so chunky.  We oiled then to de-rust, so they might be a little slick.  Give the bars a good rub down with a towel, and make sure you are well chalked if you use the Speal bars. Additionally, please wipe down your pull-up bars...Read more
