re: Daily CrossFit Thread: Workouts and other musings..

Yesterday was a fun little edit on Annie..

Sub doubles for Handstand walks.
50' HSW
50 sit-ups
40' HSW
40 sit-ups
...so on, so forth

Did pretty well, as the Handstand walks are coming together nicely.

Alum, posted my new 1RM Snatch, b/c I aint scared. I've been working on this lift for about 2 years now. Worked off the blocks for the longest time to get faster. I think it's starting to pay off.

I'm hoping to get 185 before the year is out. I only lift 2-3 times a week. So, in between working on CnJ or just Jerk work, it may be a week and a half in between snatch work.

Skipped yesterday. Recovery from a bachelor party, was toast.

Gonna go today.

The Invictus Program usually has Snatch & C&J work 3x per week.

LSUalum any expierence with Brute strength and their brute body program? it is HQ in BR.

kind of just wondering if the program is worth the 150 a month pricing.

I really like it is bodybuilding/power lifting focused but also has the metcons. Honestly I have an issue when it comes to cardio/metcons. I have been better about it the last 2 weeks but i have avoided it because its weakness. In the past following my own programming and bodybuilding coaches I have hired I have failed to get completely shredded because I either get tired of dieting so strict or I get so tired of basic LISS cardio and I end up quiting. I prefer metcon and strongman type cardio

Knowing that, do you think that type of programming with metcons forced on me would be a good fit? Like you I really like the bodybuilding and powerlifting side of things, but honestly I suck at olympic lifts and suck at anything that requires any endurance. My thinking is I need to learn to love the suck and work on my weaknesses.

lmk what your opinion is on the program please.

Workout of the Day

5 Rounds:
25 Wall Balls (20/14)
25 Pull Ups

I can post some sample Invictus Oly programming if you want to work on that. It’s long, taking anywhere from 60-90 min 3x per week, though.

I’ll ask Matt for a little snippet of the Brute programming for you to try out. It’s different.

If you wanted to incorporate some cardio, try something Stoppani recommended; between your lifting sets, add in something like bench/box step-ups for 30-45 secs. Even though it’s simple, it gets the heart rate up quickly.

I decided last night I am just going to commit and sign up for brute body. I need some type of coaching I think right now so i do not go in a rut after my vacation.
