Tuesday, September 9, 2025

Westbound CrossFit (Coach Loni)

1200 (9 of us)

Warm Up

Jog
Pendulum lunge
Lateral lunge
Glute bridge
90/90 hip rotation
Barbell warm-up for cleans
Shoulder warm-up on rig

Strength

Every 2:30 x 5 Sets
6 alternating front rack lunges (3/leg) – heavy
**During rest, explore some pull up skills and drills as time permits. 

Kip pull up linking reps
Butterfly action practice (strict butterfly circles)
Butterfly pull up practice
Etc. 

I built up from 45-55-65-75-75 pounds for step forward lunges and was keeping reasonable balance and form.  My glutes were very activated by the 5th set.

For practice I did small kips, mini strict butterfly circles and finally kipping partial pull-ups

Conditioning

RXConditioning
12:00 AMRAP:
4 Hang Power Cleans (185/125lb.)
8 step back lunge (50/35 each arm)
12 Pull-Ups
Goal: 5-6+ rounds
Intermediate: 135/95lb., 35/20lb. DB’s,  banded pull-ups
Baseline: 35/15lb. Hang power clean, unweighted step back lunge, ring rows

I scaled to a 75 pound bar; 2 x 10 lb DBs and ring rows.  I moved well and completed 6 + 1 rounds + reps.  My form fell apart on the hang power cleans, but the other movements were OK.
