WHITEBOARD – 8 November 2012

Workload:

Clean: Work up to heavy single. 

Then:

Complex: 1 Clean + 3 Front Squats – Perform complex on the minute for 10 minutes at 75% max clean

Then:

2 Minutes in a Handstand. 

Notes:  If you start to fail at the complex lower the weight as the rounds progress.  I would prefer you to suck it up and hit your reps, as 75% should be doable.  For the handstand holds, try to progress your movement (wherever that may be).  Can you hold for 1 minute at a time?  Think about pushing the weight from hand to hand, or trying to get your toes to come away from the wall 1 inch.  Piked Handstand? Do 1/4 of the time in a handstand hold position that is a little more challenging, then go back to your comfortable position.   We should always be playing at the edge of where control and discomfort meet.  You want to challenge yourself and you won’t do that in a safe place, but you also need to know that progress comes from slow progression. 

Lets make a fine brisket out of everyone and get some slow roasting going!

  • John Donne – Meditation 17

    No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee...
