Friday 16 Apr - CrossFit Darwin Rest Day

Kell strong on the Turkish Get Ups - great form there!
I think the skills session tonight was one of the best sessions we have had - we have a few more exercises to practice now - and that is all it is, plenty of PRACTICE!
Everyone needs to rest up tomorrow so we can hit Saturdays WOD hard!!

Thursday 15 Apr - Skills Session

We will learn a few new exercises tomorrow for an 'active recovery' session. This will include Turkish Get Ups, 1 Legged Squats and Muscle Up Progressions to name a few. You have all worked hard the last few days and have earned the rest!!

Wednesday 14 Mar - 12 Min AMRAP - Run 200m, 7 Ring Dip, 7 KB Swing.

First WOD at the new CFD box was a great success!! Thanks Fran, you were awesome! Now we have a benchmark - next time will be heavier, faster and use a lighter band!

AMRAP is As Many Rounds As Possible. Dips will be done in the bands so we get full range.

Tuesday 13 Apr - "Fran" 21, 15, 9. Thruster, PullUp

***WOD's will be at Unit 5, 34 Bishop Street, Woolner from now on. ***


The Rx'd (prescribed) weight for the Thruster is 45kg for males and 30kg for females.
We will scale everyone to a weight that is challenging for the number of reps required.
Pull Ups will be done in power assist bands. This allows for full range of movement and enables you to achieve the number of reps required for this WOD.
This is our first 'benchmark WOD'. You will soon be able to answer the question "What's your Fran time?"
See you all at the new CrossFit Darwin box, 6pm.

Monday 12 Apr - "DT" 5 Rounds - 12 Deadlift, 9 Hang Power Clean, 6 Push Jerk

Katrina and Bruce finished Fundamentals on the weekend and are looking forward to joining the main group on Monday!

Sunday 11 Apr - CrossFit Darwin Rest Day

The CrossFit Darwin Box with Pull Up Station - and a freshly painted floor!
Mondays WOD will be at Kahlin Oval. There is still work to be done at 34 Bishop Street!

Apologies to all those who were keen for a Saturday morning session but I have to cancel.

Friday 09 Apr - CrossFit Darwin Rest Day

Lots of running this week! Enjoy the rest day everyone.

Thursday 08 Apr - 500m Run, 150 Double Unders, 50 Burpees

Rich sets to Snatch 40kg
The Snatch is a perfect example of moving heavy loads, long distances, quickly. From ground to overhead in one powerful move.
Great work on the overhead squats, everyone improved their technique as the sets progressed.
GOOD LUCK in Melbourne with your AFL team Rhi. Go Army!!!

Wednesday 07 Apr - 5 x 5 OverHead Squat

Connie and Steve, solid on the KB Presses.
For the 5x5 OH Squat we will find a weight we can squat 5 times without resting but still maintain perfect form.

Tue 06 Mar 10-1 Kettlebell Clean and Press, 1-10 Burpee, alternating the exercises

Great running tonight, it's hard work on the power absorbing soft ground.
Tomorrows WOD goes like this 10 Clean & Press, 1 Burpee, 9 Clean & Press, 2 Burpees and so on until you get to 1 Clean & Press and 10 Burpees.
Remember it is Mechanics, Consistency and Intensity, in that order, so the weights will not be heavy as this is the first time we have cleaned and pressed a kettlebell.

Monday 05 Apr - Run 1600m, Rest 3 min, Run 1200m, Rest 2 min, Run 800m, Rest 1 min, Run 400m
