*Workout Description
Guys use 17.5kg dumbbells
and girls use 12.5kg dumbbells.
Start flat on your back, head on the ground, both calves touching the ground as well.
Before initiating the stand up you need to have the dumbbell held straight above the shoulder, elbow completely locked out.
It doesn't matter how you stand up, as long as the arm with the dumbbell remains locked out overhead.
It also doesn't matter how you get back down, as long as the arm with the dumbbell remains locked out overhead. Finish the way you started.
If the elbow ever bends, the rep doesn't count. Careful not to bend the elbow before laying completely flat.
You only have to use one arm. You may switch arms during the two minutes if you wish.
1 rep is a complete stand up and a complete lay down.
The Push Up

Day four of the 100 Day Push Up Challenge and if you have missed the last three days, catch up now - 10 push ups for you... As we are in the low numbers, add some variety and make them hard at the start. Here is a link to the FAQ section of CrossFit.com, where pushup standards and variations are demonstrated.
Keep track of your progress, the form is right here...100DayChallenge.pdf
"You can either lower the bar slowly to the starting position or drop it. This depends on how quickly you want to get yourself kicked out of a public gym." Jim Wendler.

Getting past the point of wanting to stop to physically having to stop, is part of CrossFit training. We will help you to bridge the gap between what you think you can do and what you are capable of. It is not easy, but curiously addictive.

Ah, the lure of a challenge. Who can resist? And this little one starts so easy - just one lil push up. One. Today. Sure day 73 may be challenging, but that is in the future and a long way away. Today we have but one tiny push up to do. It hardly seems worth getting on the floor for, but please do.

H2O
posted by: CFW • Saturday, April 30, 2011
Things get busy and sometimes we just need to be reminded of the little things. Like drinking water.
So here it is.
After your workout, finish your water bottle and refill it. On your way home, finish most of it before you park your car. Refill it and place it by your bed because you are like all of us and will not get up to get a drink if there is a chance you will miss out on sleep or have to get up in the cold. In the morning, start your day with a glass of cool water. Refill your waterbottle and put it in the car.
Before you have something to eat, think about water. Thirst often disguises itself as hunger. Except when it really is hunger, then no amount of water will do.

Thrive on competition
posted by: CFW • Thursday, April 28, 2011
A score to beat, a performance to aspire to, a benchmark to meet. The leaderboard works. Competition works. Fitness without competition is not as fun as racing against the clock, against your mate or against a score you set yourself before.
