Workout of the Day for Wednesday 02/03/10

100 Burpies

Here is an article from the website The Art of Manliness

When I played football in high school, my offensive line coach had an exercise he liked to use on us for punishment. When we were caught screwing around or didn’t respond with “sir” or didn’t hustle in-between plays, Coach Chamlee had to say just four words to elicit an audible groan from the offensive line: “Get your feet moving.”

Those four words marked the beginning of one minute of pure hell. It was burpee time.

The Benefits of Burpees

The burpee is the ultimate full body exercise. There’s a reason why football teams, CrossFit practitioners, and elite military forces use the burpee in their workouts. Just one simple movement tests both your strength and aerobic capacities. Below we go into a few more details on the benefits of the burpee:

Strength. The burpee is a full body, strength training exercise. With each repetition, you’ll work your chest, arms, front deltoids, thighs, hamstrings, and abs. Trust me. Your legs will feel like they’re pumping battery acid after you complete a set of burpees.

Fat burning. Because you’re using your full body when doing burpees and because they’re such an intense workout, the burpee is one of the best exercises to burn fat. Studies have shown that high intensity exercises, like burpees, burn up to 50% more fat than conventional strength training exercises. They’ve also been shown to speed up your metabolism which helps you burn more calories throughout the day. If you’re looking to get rid of that spare tire, step off the elliptical machine and start doing burpees.

Conditioning. Many men today spend hours a week in the gym sculpting washboard abs and bowling ball biceps. While those muscles look nice, they don’t do much for you when you have to split a giant pile of wood or even save your own life. Burpees are an effective exercise for developing the conditioning and endurance, the manly vim and vigor to tackle any challenge. They’re also a great exercise to include in football conditioning drills.

Party at the neighbors!

Snatch: Three Pulls, Coach Burgener…[wmv][mov]
Let’s take Mike Burgener’s advice and “get aggressive”.

God says how long you will live, you say how well. Do all you can to ensure your next 30, 40, or 50 years will be high quality years. What you are doing now, with your every day activities of exercise and nutrition is one of two things. Either it is a health investment that will pay a nice return, or it’s a health debt that when the bill finally arrives, it’s probably to late. Making smart choices throughout each day will insure, as much as is up to you, that your future is high quality.

Saturday’s Crew was Focused and had a Great Workout

Your workouts at CrossFit VictriX are an extremely important part of your pursuit of health and fitness. But your success depends on what you do between your workouts just as much as it depends on your workouts. There are several areas of your life that have just as much (if not more) of an impact on your health and fitness then just your workouts. Sleep, stress, diet, alcohol, medications, career pursuits, and your social life all have a major impact on your overall health. If you are out of balance in any of these areas, the benefits from your time in the gym can be minimized. As you examine your athletic weaknesses, don’t forget to examine the rest of your life, being aware of areas that have become out of balance. CrossFit is the best fitness development program in existence. But it is not a miracle program. There is no substitute for consistent and hard work. ultimately, your ability to reach your potential has a lot to do with your consistency in maintaining balance in all areas of your life. Accepting the responsibility you have in your own success is part of a mature approach to health and fitness.

Orange County Throwdown

Thruster (75/45)

Run 200 m / Row 250 m

The Orange County Throwdown was a blast. Lilia and I met a lot of cool people, participated in some grueling workouts (2 on Saturday, 2 on Sunday), and enjoyed soaking in that Southern California atmosphere. I’ll write-up my experience soon and post it here. For now you can check out information and pictures on the Orange Coast CrossFit blog: http://orangecoastcrossfit.com/

oc-throwdown-final-results

Gary Baron, from Lincoln, came in 5th! Valeria Calhoun (14 years old), from Rocklin, won the women’s intermediate division! I survived all four workouts and you can bet I am sore!

If you get a chance to participate in a CrossFit event, it’s probably the most amazing sports atmosphere you will ever experience. It will probably be the most fun working out you will ever have. We have the Sac Town Throwdown Affiliate team competition coming up on Saturday Feb 13 – I need final confirmation on who wants to be on a team. It’s $50 per team and a team is made of 2 men and 2 women. We also have the Nor Cal Sectional Qualifier for the CrossFit Games which is open to ALL who want to participate. CrossFit is for all athletes at all levels. Everyone should take advantage of the opportunity to workout out in a Constantly Varied setting like one of these events. It will add another element of excitement, anticipation, and intensity to your effort.

Yes, it is a competition, but more importantly, it is seeing what you are made of, challenging yourself, and ultimately – it is just you against the workout…

Here is a picture of me and Gary during the first workout – “Exponential”. I am in the red shirt on the pull-up bar and Gary is in the black shirt next to me.

You thought the 2000 meter row was hard? Check this out:

The Woodvale Challenge is Underway, Finally!


After several false starts, the Woodvale Ocean Rowing Challenge finally got underway today, with the original Atlantic Rowing Race launching from the Canary Islands, located just off the coast of northwest Africa. The contestants, competing in solo, double, and quadruple person categories, will now race to Antigua in the West Indies of the Caribbean Sea.

The competitors will be carrying supplies for up to three months at sea, as they row the more than 2550 miles across the ocean, burning as much as 10,000 calories per day. All told, there are approximately 30 boats competing in the event, with the teams with two and four members rowing non-stop, 24/7, to reach the finish line.

You’ll be able to follow along on the action at the race’s official website, and through the (what else) Twitter feed at @AtlanticRowRace. On the website, you can track team progress, view photos, and get the latest news on events happening out on the water. For a more personal look at what is happening, check out the personal blog of Pete Van Kets, a South African competing in the solo category.

The race was actually set to get underway in mid-December, but thanks to continued waves of bad weather, the start was postponed multiple times. It seems like the weather window has finally opened however, and these tough, adventurous rowers, are now out on the water, and steaming towards the heart of the Atlantic.

Good luck to all involved.

Body Fat Test – Cancelled

Posted in Workout of the Day on January 3, 2010 by CFP

*** Unfortunately the mobile Body Fat Test van is not able to keep their appointment with our gym. All body fat testing appointments scheduled for this afternoon have been cancelled. I am actively seeking alternative testing methods and will re-schedule as soon as possible.***

Workout of the Day for Monday 01/04/10
Three rounds of:
Run 800 meters
21 Power Cleans (155/95)

Goal Power
Some tips on adding power to your goals:
1. Own Your Goal – Your goals are your own personal and unique targets. You shouldn’t let others set your goals for you, they should be your own.
2. Set A Date – Goals should have dates. A goal without a date is wishful thinking. It is much easier to see and make progress when a date is set.
3. Focus On Progress - You have to stay focused and dedicate the resources required to reach the goal. Eliminate distractions. Quit doing things that slow down your progress.

It comes down to you deciding what the year will be – God willing and in as much as depends on you. At CrossFit VictriX, this will be a year of Victory. Athletes (we are all athletes) will be setting BHAG’s (Big Hairy Audacious Goals) and achieving them. We all will be gaining momentum, knocking down challenges, and making it happen in 2010. Forget past failures and regrets – remember yout accomplishments, your achievements, your victories. Look how far you have come and how much progress you have made already!

Setting Goals for 2010 by Justin A.
Did you reach the year-end goal you wrote on the whte board? If you did, congratulations, job well done. If you did not, assess why. Was it a reasonable goal? Did you stay focused? Let a missed goal be a chance to learn. If you got close, keep pushing and get it. The goal area on the white board is a permanent fixture. Feel free to add you goals there!
Since the turn of the new year is a time of reflection and resolutions for so many people, here are some simple and general goal setting guidelines. You have probably heard these before, and guess what, they work!
1. Be Specific, Make it Measurable, Give it a Date - Vague goals lack energy and the ability to measure progress. Sometimes the more vague a goal, the more overwhelming it can be. The more specific and measurable the goal, the easier to mantain forward progress in achieving that goal. Give a goal an accomplishment date and it’s easy to see if you are on track for success or need to adjust the plan.
2.  Make Your Own Goals – Goals should be personal. You shouldn’t let others set your goals for you. Take ownership of your own goals!
3. Write it Down – Commiting to a goal by taking it out of your head and putting it in writing makes the goal more real. The more public you can make your goal, the more motivation you will have to make it happen.
At CrossFit Victrix, we tend to focus on health and fitness goals through exercise, nutrition, and recovery. But realize, a disciplined and balanced life in all areas is more useful then success in only one! If you get in a goal setting mode, expand it outside of your physical body into other areas. Here are some examples of other areas:
Spiritual
Marriage / Dating 
Family 
Community
Career
Emotional
Financial
Mental
Here’s to 2010. May the pursuit of your goals be relentess, unwavering, and successful!

A CrossFit Moncton Christmas Carol (sung to the tune of Jingle Bells)

Lunging through the gym
Pulling a weighted sleigh
Over the hills we run
Grunting all the way
Med balls on the wall
Making people white
Oh what fun it is to sing
A workout song tonight

OH! Kettlebells, Kettlebells
Swinging all the way
Oh what fun it is to puke
In a dumpster around the way, HEY!

Kettlebells, Kettlebells
Swinging all the way
Oh what fun it is to puke
In a dumpster around the way

A day or two ago
I thought I’d test it out
To see how far I’d row
Without me passing out
Laying on the floor
With pain in my side
This CrossFit stuff is hardcore
And boy my legs are fried

OH! Kettlebells, Kettlebells
Swinging all the way
Oh what fun it is to puke
In a dumpster around the way
