WOD 8/24/09:

As Many Rounds as Possible (AMRAP) in 20 minutes of:

200 Meter Sprint

7 Ring dips

10 Push Press/Push Jerk (95/65)

get to arm-pit depth on the ring dips.  If you can’t, use a band or do box dips.

This week, all the skill work will revolve around the three pressing movement: shoulder press, push press, and push jerk.  We learned how to squat properly and know we will successfully get the weight over our heads. 

Just a few announcements, most of you have heard them in our classes:

Nutrition talk post-WOD begins tomorrow.  DP should have packets for everyone.

Group workout at CROSSFIT MILFORD is scheduled for 9am on 9/5.  All should attend and represent the SHORELINE!!!!!

We will be CLOSED Labor Day, 9/7, due to the fact that Kelly, DP, and I will be running the New Haven Road Race.  WE ENCOURAGE YOU ALL TO SIGN UP!  WE can meet together before the race, and hang out after.  There is a 5 K or a 20K.  It is the best (FUN!!) race course I’ve ever run.  Who’s in?!!  Post a comment.

Starting in September there will be a 5:30 am class on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and a 4:30 pm on M-F.

If you are interested, we would love to take before pictures of you so we can have physical proof of your progress.  YOU ARE OUR BILLBOARD.  Let Dp, Kelly, or me know if you are interested.
