Work Out of the Day

Hang squat clean 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps

http://media.crossfit.com/cf-video/cfj-nov-05/hang-clean.wmv

These are full squat cleans not power cleans. We are not only aiming for power, but also for the explosive quickness it takes to get back under the bar. The thunder of a full extension pull to get the load moving upward combined with the lighting fast speed needed to reverse the direction of the body and get down for the catch is the brilliance behind this skill. When done right it is truly beautiful.

Use 195 lbs, 225 lbs, barbell only or a broom stick.

If you have not been trained in this movement, use extreme caution. If you don't have bumper plates....CrossFit Everett will as soon as we open our doors! We'll also train you to do this very helpful exercise. Coming to an Everett near You!

Why Crossfit?

Simple: Real life situations do not differentiate between cardio and strength demands. Neither is there an option of isolating a movement to protect weaker muscles. Real situations require movements that involve multi-joint dynamic motions that are done fast, under load and executed with surprising power and spot on accuracy. These demand both oxygen and strength, power and endurance, quick recovery and mental toughness.

Crossfit addresses these demands like no other fitness program. Through coached intensity and proper form, firefighters, young mothers, law enforcement/military personel, grandfathers and athletes of all levels can achieve more effective results faster. Crossfit will get you the strength you need to get hoses up stairs, carry your toddler to safety, stay powerful longer in a brawl and get you in your best shape. Just ask a Crossfitter!

Caution

One of the core elements to Crossfit training is intensity. Intensity cannot be achieved without proper form. Do not attempt to do a Crossfit workout without prior coaching on the techniques of Crossfit. We are thrilled to help with this. It is what we do.

Although anyone can do Crossfit. It may not be right for everyone. We all must take responsibility for our own fitness and health. The workouts listed here are for a competent Crossfit athlete. Do not attempt them if you are not conditioned and adapted to Crossfit style workouts. Serious injuries can and have occured with the uninitiated.

Crossfit is a potent weapon against weakness and sickness. Be careful how you use it. Therefore....

....Crossfit Everett offers a Foundations/On-Ramp Program consisting of 12 sessions covering the basic Crossfit movements and preparing for Crossfit intensity. On completion of Foundations, most folks are ready to enter a scaled open Crossfit session and work up to doing the workouts as prescribed. These sessions are fun and a great medium to meet other Crossfitters while you prepare. We hope you will join us in Foundations and get ready to see results.
