Happy Monday Feast Family! The CrossFit Games theme has come to an end. Who is sore after last week?! This week we are training single leg strength with Pistol Squats. Don’t have Pistol Squats? No worries! In class we will walk through progressions to help build our single leg strength and get us closer to being able to do them.

Our Metcon, ‘Better Now’ will be a fast one! With a low rep scheme and only 7 minutes of total working time, this will be a threshold workout. The goal is to find the zone where we can move as fast as we can without slowing down. Use the 2 Shuttle Runs to catch your breath and prioritize smooth reps and seamless transitions for the Hang Cleans and T2B.


Tuesday 8/15/23

A. Snatch Complex -
Every 90 Seconds x 6 Sets:
- 1 Hang Snatch High Pull + 1 Hang Power Snatch + 1 Snatch High Pull + 1 Power Snatch @50-55%

B. ‘Rich & Sad’
Every 3 Minutes x 4 Sets:
- 8 Dual DB Devil’s Press
- 12/8 cal Row
*Rest Remaining Time

We are back to technique Tuesdays! This week we are doing another High Pull + Power Snatch progression, but from different positions. Loading is intended to be light so we can continue to focus on quality!

Who was disappointed to see no Thrusters and Echo Bike like last Tuesdays Metcon? Everyone, right?! ‘Rich & Sad’ consists of 4 quick intervals. The goal is to sprint each round in order to accumulate as much rest each round. Between the Devil’s Press and the Row our posterior chains will be put to work, pay attention to your breathing and bracing throughout this one.
