Y'all don't have strength training before your WODs

We bench almost weekly during the strength section

It depends on who you are asking. Maybe with Linda being programmed at Regionals, it’ll make affiliates stop neglecting bench.

Generally speaking, no. Geaux's programming is usually just some sort of warmup and a WOD, a little different than I've seen in other boxes, where it's usually a strength portion then a metcon. Geaux's is usually either/or, where some days are heavy strength-focused, some are heavy metcon focused, some are heavy skill focused.. and then sometimes there's one that blends it all together.. maybe once every other week?

Same at my box. We are squatting 2x week for our current strength program. And it's rumored that we'll follow this one up with a another strength program that incorporates benching (barbell and dumbbells). But, day to day, there is definitely not a partitioned strength segment. Sometimes there is skill work (rings, handstands, etc). I find we aren't doing enough for folks that are wanting to develop those skills. Those movements show up in WOD's and hardly anyone has made progression on those movements since the last time they were programmed. We do spend 15-20 minutes on warmup and either plyo's and/or additional stretching-mobility. At my age (39), I'm on board with extra time on all of those.

For me, this would include double unders, kipping pullups and toes to bar. Seems they occur too far apart to ever get good at them if you don't do it on your own.

once a week we have skills sessions during the strength time

it is when we work on whatever we need to work on, whether it be DUs, gymnastics, etc.

Rough. Did you do an actual sumo or more of a sldl sumo? I'd be so tired from regular.

My coach made me do speed reps with my competition stance (sumo) for 8x2 with 525 and 45s of rest. I never thought I could do it but did and it really helped in my contest.

Skipped today’s double grace.

Patella tendinitis wouldn’t have enjoyed 60 C&Js for time and I probably would have Rx’d it.

Bicep routine..
DB curls
BB Curls
Single incline DB curls with severely supinated grip
Standing zottman curls

Our setup every day:
Warm-up
Strength
Conditioning (WOD)
Accessory
Cool Down

Accessory and cool down don't fit in the time slot so we just go over it at the beginning and complete it on your own while the next class it warming up. But yeah the strength portion is why we get to do things like bench that aren't great for CF WODs. Todays conditioning is running, rowing, and DUs, which I would normally be excited about but I'm afraid I'm gunna have a heat stroke
