Jess and Adam have an announcement to make!

ANNOUNCEMENTS AND REMINDERS:

  • New wrist wraps are in!  If you are new to CrossFit and are having some wrist pain with the movements, ask Will or Britt about our custom PR Wraps.
  • There will only be a 9:30 and 11:00 a.m. class on Monday, Memorial Day.
  • Raffle tickets are still available to purchase to help us fund getting a Big Ass Fan (click here if you don’t know what I’m talking about).  Remember, the drawing is only a week away, next Saturday at the Civil War!
  • In going along with that, The eX Men Civil War is next Saturday!  Sign up sheets are still up and there are some names we thought for sure would be up there that are not.  If you plan on competing, your name must be on the sign up sheet!  Remember, even though we are calling this a competition, this is strictly for fun and saying I am embarrassed is not a reason to not participate!
  • Josh’s next Olympic cycle starts June 3rd.  Sign up sheets are up for that as well.  For the duration of that cycle, the 4 o’clock class will be suspended on Tuesdays and Thursdays so we can have an afternoon Olympic class.  The Oly class will go from 3:30 to 5 on those days.
  • Check the member’s Facebook group for details on how to get an eX Men Civil War shirt designed by our very own Yvie.  The shirts are seriously cool.
  • A new class will be added to schedule next week which will run from 8:30 to 9:30 in the morning!  That is what you guys voted for so you better show up to it.

If you have any questions about any of this, please post about it in the FB group so everyone can see because someone else might have the same question!

This video is worth a repost.  This is Dr. Mark Hyman talking about the dangers of gluten with some scientific research cited.  It is short and to the point, watch it.

If you work out in the morning, please look at the survey posted to the CrossFit eXalted member’s group Facebook page.  We are going to add a class to the morning, it is up to you to decide what time!

Workout of the Day
“Jackie”
For time:
1000 meter row
50 Thrusters (45 lbs)
30 Pull-ups

Prehab/Strength
4 rounds not for time:
5 Strict toes to bar (if you can’t do strict T2B, do a 30 second L hold)
6 Deadhang pull-ups (emphasize deadhang at bottom, and chin getting CLEAR over the bar)
8 Wall squats
10 Band pull aparts

Some movements are extremely important for injury prevention, but are pointless to do in a “metcon” environment.  These are some of those movements.  Execute these movements precisely and with a purpose.  Efficiency is not the emphasis here as this is not for time, nor should it be when focusing on strengthening muscles and joints in such a way to prevent problems.

Olympic lifting coach Josh showing some impressive versatility with a near perfect L-pullup.

Olympic lifting coach Josh showing some impressive versatility with a near perfect L-pullup.

REMINDER!  There are no morning or noon classes today!  Only evening classes.  There will only be a 4, 5, 6, and 7 o’clock class today.

Strength/Skill
12 minute EMOM
Odd minute 30 Double-unders
Even minute: Power clean + 2 push presses

If you cannot do double-unders well or at all, you will attempt them for 30 seconds and then rest. For the barbell, try to go up in weight/stay heavy every minute. Do NOT treat this like a one rep max, it should be heavy, but not maximal.

Workout of the Day
4 Rounds for time:
2 Rope climbs
100 foot sprint
4 Squat cleans (225/133)
100 foot sprint

This is meant to run as the Regional WOD. So to finish the 4th round and entire WOD, stop after the squat cleans on the fourth round.
