Yesterday, remedy I posted on the ideas behind CFO’s programming.  Today, tadalafil we’ll talk about what to you should expect to see in a given week, and how this will build out over the coming weeks and months.   CrossFit Oakdale will hold “pure” strength sessions 2-3 days a week.  I used to program 4, but I found this left me tired and depleted.  Never say never, and never say always, but I generally like to have a day where the focus is a “slow” lift (usually power lifts, heavier loads/less reps) followed by a day with the “fast” lifts (Olympic lifts, lighter loads/higher rep ranges/faster movement) or vice versa.   Strength is the foundation of fitness.  Even marathon runners need strength.  We will spend a great deal of time focusing on strength: power, speed strength, muscular endurance and more.   CrossFit recommends a schedule of 3 days of training,...Read more

Monday will begin our first week of training at CrossFit Oakdale.  I spent the last 2 years programming for CrossFit Modesto.  I got to learn what works best, online both for an individual looking to improve their fitness and running classes through various types of fitness challenges.  I’m still learning.  I’ve had the last month or so to think about what I want to see out of CrossFit Oakdale’s fitness program, cheap and I wanted to review it with you.  In part 1, I will discuss my thoughts on what is important in fitness.  It may seem that I’m talking about what is important for beginners, but the pursuit of beautiful movement performed at high intensity should be the goal of every CrossFitter.  In part 2, I will discuss the day to day operations of the CrossFit Oakdale program, so you can plan your week. First, you move well.  Then,...Read more

We can hardly believe it’s finally here!  Alison and I began seriously discussing CrossFit Oakdale on Labor Day weekend.  We actually got the keys to 1872 Ackley Circle on 11/17, more about and with the help of a bunch of great people, ampoule we’re ready to go by 12/3!  Hey, we’re CrossFitters.  We do stuff “for time”, even build gyms.   We are proud to say CrossFit Modesto is the CrossFit box we “grew up” in.  We built so many great memories and friendships at CrossFit Modesto, and we look forward to strengthening old bonds and building new ones at CrossFit Oakdale.   Many of you have seen, or even tested out the new space.  CrossFit Oakdale still a work in progress, but hey, aren’t we all?   We’ll be painting and accumulating gear over the coming weeks, and we’d love to hear your ideas on how to make the...Read more

Opening day is almost here!  Just for your information, prostate we will begin signing waivers at 8:30.  The WOD will be a 20 minute partner WOD.  Don’t worry, if you didn’t bring a partner, we’ll find on for you.  We hope to kick off the first wave at 9 sharp, and if needed, we’ll run another heat at 9:25 or so.   Dazed and Confused – Talk to Me Johnny.  There is so much great stuff here, it’s hard to say where to start. Think today’s generation is soft?  Then we should take it upon ourselves to set the example.  I hope the example I set for my kids is the one they need.   Workout of the Day Bear Complex 5 sets, not for time, for the heaviest unbroken load of: Clean, Front Squat, Jerk, Back Squat, Jerk from Behind the Neck. You may rest in the hang, from...Read more

Our equipment continues to trickle into the gym.  We received more plyo boxes and a high quality Oly bar.  The knurling is intense! Workout of the Day With a continuously running clock, ambulance do one pull-up and one handstand push-up the first minute, two pull-ups and two handstand push-ups the second minute, three pull-ups and three handstand push-ups the third minute… continuing as long as you are able. When you cannot complete the required number of reps for either exercise, continue only with the other as long as you are able. Use as many sets in any order each minute as needed. Post number of minutes successfully completed for each exercise to comments. Their sum is your score.Read more
