The open WODS will be released tomorrow and we will be hosting the week one WOD on FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24 between 7am and 9am and  at 7pm and SATURDAY  FEBRUARY 25 at 8:30am.  Please note that we (the affiliate owners) are ultimately responsible for your scores. In other words it is our butt on the line….Therefore any athlete that posts a score under CrossFit Cypress Affiliate MUST be judged by one of the CrossFit Cypress Trainers (Mike, Tami, Darlene, Bonnie, or Kelley)  in  person at the box. If you have any questions please contact Mike.

This is the direct quote from CrossFit Headquarters:

By opting in to host workouts during the Open, you agree to uphold the standards and integrity of the Games.

This means that you will be accountable for any scores that are validated at your affiliate.

You will watch and apply all movement standards before hosting workouts. You must also validate all scores by Tuesday, 5pm pacific time EACH week at the latest. You are also responsible for ensuring that Teams that compete at your gym only use members that regularly train at your gym.

We know that with the announcement of the WOD many of you will want to run through the WODS. We do not mind you doing this, but please remember we will be running regular classes, and you need to be respectful of all clients.

CROSSFIT DODGE BALL

That’s right on Saturday the WOD will be CrossFit Dodge Ball. Because this is very different from a regular WOD I wanted to give everyone a heads up. Hopefully you are game…Here’s how it will work

Athletes will be divided into 2 teams

45 minute game:

If athlete is hit by a ball he/she is not out (come on it’s CROSSFIT!) You perform your penalty on the sideline and jump back in the game. No, you can not be hit while you are performing your penalty.

If you are hit by
 a pink ball = 10 sit ups
 a gray ball = 10 push ups
 a red ball = 10 squats
 a yellow ball = 10 jump rope
 a multi color ball = 10 slam balls

If someone catches a ball you throw = 10 burpees

RULES:
No head shots
No whining
If you get hit suck it up, perform your penalty and get back in the game – that is how life works isn’t it!
Have fun!!!!

We will be working on moving the equipment to the new portion on the gym if anyone is interested staying and helping after this WOD

Let me know what you think…….Tami

Barbell complexes are one of the most effective exercises for building muscle and burning great amounts of fat at the same time.  For those of you who are unfamiliar barbell complexes let me give you a brief description.  A barbell complex is usually a combination of  different barbell exercises done in succession without putting down the bar.  When you have performed each exercise one time you have completed one repetition.  Barbell complexes will usually be done for 6 – 10 repetions.  You need to make sure that the weight that you place on the bar is light enough to enable you to do each exercise and to make it through all of the repetitions since the barbell complex is so demanding on your body.

 

Rest about 3 min between each set.

“Big Blue”

12 Minute Back Squat AMRAP – Pick your weight and do as many reps as you can.

Then…

50 Jumping Slam Balls  (20/14)
30 box jumps
50 Weighted walking lunges(20/14)
30 box jumps
50 Squats/ athletes  that want to make it more challenging, can hold the Slam Ball over head.
30 box jumps

* The athlete will use the Slam Ball for the lunges. The Ball can be held in any position where the athlete can maintain balance.
* Weight for the squat should be somewhere around 65-60 percent of your one rep max.
