09/29/16: Allen'sday

A very Happy Birthday to 908’s own Coach Allen.  There are few people who I have met that are as good of a person as Allen is.  He is one of the cornerstones of CrossFit 908, and we couldn’t ask for a better head coach.

Today is Thursday Yoursday, which means all classes are set up like open gym.  You can use the hour long class to work on a skill, make up a missed workout, work on mobility, lift, or just enjoy the ambiance.  We will be programming additional squatting on Thursdays and Sundays.  Bottom line, enjoy the day.  Do some stuff you need to work on, and do some stuff you love.

Weightlifting club is tonight @ 7:15pm.  Come get your lift on!

The Skill of The Month for September is the Double Under.  We did this skill back in April, but it is something we need to continuously work on.

Skill Of The Month –

  • Double Under – Spend 5-10 minutes practicing your jump rope technique.  Ask your coach for some cues.  If you are proficient but still want to work on them.  Try the flight simulator, but cap yourself at 10 minutes.  5-10-15-20-25-30-35-40-45-50-45-40-35-30-25-20-15-10-5 unbroken double unders.  You must stop between sets and start at 0.  Here is a video on Double Unders.
