It is so important to constantly challenge ourselves physically. We are people wanting to influence each other and others we meet along the way.
This is where we can get workouts for the day, track your times, pr's, ask and reply to questions and comments.

This is also where we will share what events we are participating in and opening them up to the rest of the team to take part in.

Spoiler Alert: IT DID NOT WORK!!!

Loosen Up...

Time to get loose!
Today (tonight) is the 1st CF OPEN workout announcement...
This is the annual "testing" of self as compared to the rest of the world. OK, well maybe not world, but LOTS of others... You can check by region, world, nation, age group, etc... so some variables...
REALLY, it is just an annul check on where you feel you are at! Put a little bit more thought process into a WOD...stratagize...film yourself...evaluate where you can/could pick up extra reps...
That sorta thing...
It is a fun time, and yet...
We will see...

Oz did 3-position Snatch work... and he said it felt heavy! We were all moving slower this AM.

Daleige & I (& Stan) did this:

With a running clock:
0:00 ~ 3 minutes to complete: 30 Burpees
3:00 ~ 3 minutes to complete: 30 Thrusters (45#)
6:00 ~ 5 minutes to complete: 15-10-5 of Thrusters (75#) & Burpees
11:00 ~ 3 Minutes to complete: 30 Burpees
14:00 ~ 3 minutes to complete: 30 Thrusters (45#)

It was a good little "loosen us up...breath heavy" WOD

If you fall behind, just keep going...GOAL...not stop for 30 sec breaks during the REPS!

Congrats to Oz...Finally had a PR...when he least expected it.
When we feel we control everything, is when things seem to be the least in our control.
TRUST that the good work you do will result in what you want...eventually...maybe not the way you thought, or when you thought, but it will always work for your betterment.

EMT

Val had a WOD over the weekend and it came out as 6lbs-14oz (I think)...
Then they had to name it! Emmett Mark Tonn (EMT)...
Mother, baby and Dad are all doing well!

Rest/Recovery...

Well...bucket bombers was a blast  yesterday...
But the low back is paying for it...
Went a little too hard on it and now will try to recover for the OPEN...

We will see...

LOTS of moving and BWT exercises...at a moderate pace for a week...
Then time to go again...hopefully...

Feidt, Maloney and JB went after a WOD this am... No idea what rep scheme they used, but there were Plate walks, Lunges, Cleans (I think)...who knows, but it was bout 20-30 minutes worth of sweating it up!

Timer sucks...

Well... this was a good day at the start and finished well...but not good!

OHS (Take 15 min)
Work to a heavy set of OHS (1 Rep)

Snatch Work (Take 10 minutes)
Work to a heavy set of this circuit:
1 Power Snatch + 1 Squat Snatch + 1 OHS

AMRAP in 10min:
10 OHS (95/65)
10 TTB

Daliege ~ 135# / 135# / 6 Rnds
tb ~ 235# / 185# / 7 rnds + 10 OHS

The reason this was not good was this... I started a timer on my phone. Apparnetly the darn thing does not continue when the screen shuts off... We didn't know that... I knew from checking after 1st round (9:15) and after the second round (8:20)... I would be around 60-75s per round... My goal was 8 rounds... so I went back after 7.5 rounds to check the time and turned on  the screen on to see 7:33 left, then started counting down again... I may be good, but I do not think I got 7 rounds in in 2.5 minutes... I do think we were within 30 seconds either way...

SnoW DAYs off

No days off!!! Even though there is a snow day...called last night by every district around central wisconsin...
There are no days off for competitors! Get better every day!

Frank Vruwink was in @ 7am to make sure he can get a lift in... His goal is to be at the University of Wisconsin PRO DAY... Give it a shot... In his words, "What do I have to lose?!?!"
He had a great career at Michigan Tech for football...now lets see if he can move to another level.
If not, he already has a job in Chippewa Falls (Tiry Engineering). Now to find a place to live (& workout) there!!!

Val & Jones were in for a Swim WOD this AM as well... It is all about improvement!
Val is approximately 30 days from Baby Tonn being welcomed into this world! Still teaching him what hard work is! That kid has got 8 months of workout in...and still going!!!

Drake and the boys were in to perform "Welcome to the Jungle" in the real group of 3...
Drake, Levi B & Glinski ~ 32:14

CFNE had this beauty prescribed:

El Gato
21-18-15-12-9
Calorie Row
Thrusters (95/65)

tb ~ 13:19
3:06
6:24 (3:18)
9:27 (3:03)
11:48 (2:21)
13:19 (1:31)

I am thoroughly disappointed! My quads felt the burn after the first 3 thrusters! I NEED to get burpees and air squats in daily before the OPEN begins... Just mass reps are going to kill me in the open...Could not go unbroken until the round of 12...PATHETIC!!!

Reminder to myself:
Leg Blaster Daily...warm-up or post-wod...but get it in
Burpees Daily...50-100 ~ 30 Minimum for everyday warm-up!!!

UPDATE ~ Oz did this after school (1/2/16), before BB Practice...
56 BBJO (+5)
72 Shuttles (+2)
31 PC (+3)
46 WB (+2)
?? C2B

Folks...he was wiped out by the C2B's...
Just watching (& hopefully pushing/encouraging) him go thru the first 4 rounds of this thing was great! He went after it...on the outside, he was calm, had a steady pace, BUT you just knew, that on the inside, there was THE FIRE burning...needing to improve!!! That individual competitive nature that takes over...Rather than push HARD in the first minute or first bunch of reps, he was able to stay steady and consistent with reps and JUST WORK!!! Not that Oz has ever had trouble in this area. Maybe it was all for me to watch and visualize how I need to work and get better...who knows. ANYWAYS...it was a great WOD to see performed and improved upon! GREAT WORK OZ!

Test...Re-test...
Get better everyday!!!
