Today we are doing some upper body pushing and pulling strength work. Then this tasty little leg workout. We can already hear some of you “2 minutes? What’s the point?” But short duration high intensity efforts are an important part of your cardiovascular training. Being able to really push hard for a relatively short burst is so good for your heart muscle and also creates that lactate build up that your body will learn to buffer more effectively. Now try doing it six times……….. there’s little adaptation if you always work for 30 minutes at the same intensity - let’s push that intensity, rest repeat. You’re welcome!!

DO NOT DO THIS
We don’t normally show you what not to do. But today we want to talk about “muted hip”. The first two photos show Coach @pitzpoodle demonstrating the muted hip. We don’t like this, you’ve quite possibly heard us in class reminding you to use the power position. When your hips are muted the ability to produce power and absorb impact is compromised. Your spinal integrity is also compromised and you’re potentially primed for injury. We love these other pictures - we are always looking to improve your performance but actually our main goal is that you train safely and have fun. Power position ✅✅ job done

“Wow that looks hardcore” - but actually it isn’t! It’s a session planned to challenge you whatever your level. We don’t design workouts to smash your body or destroy your soul - what would be the point of that? You would get injured, demotivated and gain very little. Our workout may look hardcore but our coaches know how to scale and modify to suit everyone. Lots of squatting today so some people modified those, lots of calories and we changed the quantity if that was needed, the recommended weight was heavy but the vast majority went for a sensible weight that allowed them to move properly, meet the standards, stay safe and get a great workout. Was everyone shattered at the end? Probably. But that means something different to each person and you all did great!! 👏👏👏👏

It has to be fun…….. (most of the time anyway!)
We have the friendliest bunch of members. For us the social interaction and community feel at the gym is a really important part of what we do. Getting fit and strong isn’t that hard - but creating an environment where you have fun and want to turn up to class because you like the people is what sets us apart and we are proud of that 🥰

Today we worked on hitting the toes to bar movemen

Today we worked on hitting the toes to bar movement standard. Usually we have those athletes who can’t quite hit that bar work on their consistency developing shoulder strength and not worrying too much if they don’t make contact with the bar. We say that will come in time. Today we focused on breaking reps up - often into singles - to achieve the full movement. RX athletes worked on these intervals for time while the others worked for technique on the rig, managing their reps and minimising rest. Many scaled the reps but over 8 sets they would have got plenty of good work done. By working “not for time” it meant they could focus on hitting the movement standard on every single rep. It felt good, and I can feel my lats already!!
It’s not always about rushing and finishing quickly - sometimes we need to slow down and really think about our goals. Plenty of accessory work too of course!

Yesterday we worked some fun plyometrics. Drop (depth) jumps focus on arresting force through the ankle,knee and hip joints. High box jumps train explosive power and seated box jumps remove the element of stretch-shortening, which changes the recruitment of muscle fibres.
All these exercises need to used in moderation particularly the depth jumps which are stressful but important.. Some of us are born with a greater proportion of fast twitch muscle fibres but there is also an element of trainability, hence the importance of including jumping in your training. Explosive (jump) power is also a contributor to many of the movements we use in CrossFit. So by training our explosive power we improve our all round performance. And it’s plain fun!!!

The usual heavy squatting from @adam_whitton but it doesn’t really matter to our coaches how much you lift - what’s important to us is your movement pattern, upright torso, knee alignment and solid core. Trust the process, focus on technique and the intensity and gains will follow
