i am a firefighter in arlington,va and am interested in starting up a crossfit program here. could you email me and give me some info on getting started? rhaus@arlingtonva.us
Tom, Yesterdays WOD. Sprint 100m, 12 KB swings, 10 pullups. 10 rounds for me. Yeah, you better get back on the bloging, or I’ll kick your ass! Ok, maybe not,lol Hows the video coming?
Hey Richard, come to CF this weekend and see what we do. It’s a good time and will give you something to take back to others. Jen
will give this one a try tonight. put together a good outside at Gtown last night. warm up then: 10 min sprint square (jog ends and sprint the straight aways) then times 3: 30 second high knees shuttle run 30 seconds pushups shuttle run 30 seconds squate shuttle run side to side roll overs shuttle run 1 min. plank hold shuttle run 1 min. situps 200 meter sprint 100 meter bear crawl
Tom, do you do dumbbell thrusters in addition to, or as a replacement for, barbell thrusters? I started doing them with dumbbells because that’s all my climbing gym has.
I actually like them better this way because it forces me to stabilize more, and use better form.
Please keep posting as much as time allows. It helps me to adjust my own workouts. I’ll be in to see you as soon as the wallet allows.
I like DB thrusters, but recommend using the bar as well. Generally, I will use DBs with higher reps/ lighter load workouts. Heavy thrusters I tend to use the bar, and lower rep schemes.
Richard, I would be glad to talk to you, but you should know there is a CrossFit Fairfax statred by Jeff Tincher, who I believe is a Arlington (maybe Alexandria?) Fireman.
To add to Tom’s post, I’m a regular CFDC-goer. In the group workouts we usually use DBs for a couple reasons:
1. Balance Gym has a lot of them; and
2. They have a smaller “footprint.” When we’ve done work with bars (usually snatches/OHS) we can only line up 3-4 while allowing athletes enough room to move and drop the bar if necessary.
By comparison, we’ve had 15+ people working with DBs at a time, and if someone misses a rep they can go straight to the ground without having to push forward or back to clear the head.
