CrossFit Flagstaff's Version of Adult Prom

IMG_4235 IMG_4240 IMG_4245 IMG_4247

IMG_4248 IMG_4251 IMG_4242 IMG_4256

Stage 1- The Romance Phase:

15 Minutes to complete:

800 Meter Run carrying and empty barbell with your partner.

Use the remainder of the time to find a 1RM Partner Clean and Jerk.

IMG_4267 IMG_4279 IMG_4288 IMG_4289 IMG_4273 IMG_4307 IMG_4321 IMG_4322 IMG_4301Jonathon and Laurie visited us today from CrossFit Gambit in St. Louis Missori and celebrated their 7th anniversary at our Adult Prom! 

Stage 2 - The Disillusionment Stage:

5 Minute AMRepAP:

Rope Climbs and Distance you can move a 65# plate with a sledge hammer. 

Partner A climbs the rope as many times as possible while Partner B swings the sledge hammer to move the plate across the gym floor. Partners may switch roles at any time but do not have to.

Score is # of rope climbs plus distance (in 5ft. increments)

IMG_4325 IMG_4339

 Stage 3 - The Power Struggle

100 Partner Single Unders for time (5 Min. Time Cap)

IMG_4374 IMG_4382 IMG_4379 IMG_4385

Stage 4 - The Stability Stage

100 M Partner Prowler Push for time.

Partner A pushes 25# plate plus partner B 50 meters. Switch spots. Partner B pushes partner A 50 meters back to starting line.

IMG_4391 IMG_4415 IMG_4399 IMG_4413 IMG_4402 IMG_4410 IMG_4404 IMG_4420

Stage 5: The Commitment Stage:

For Time: Partner A is blindfolded and must move the 'sculpture' from point A to point B with only verbal cues from partner B. Partner B can not touch their partner or the items in the sculpture.

Once it is assembled in exactly the same way switch spots and roles and return it to the starting spot.

LSD Benchmark

Time for a long-slow-distance benchmark! 

5k or 15k Run For Time - how are you doing compared to your previous longer run times?  You've been working on strength and short met-cons, but don't let a longer distance become a weakness!  It's beautiful outside and our trails are great!

IMG_4201Compare to Aug 2011

CrossFit is known for the closeness it creates through each community. Early Sunday morning on May 19, 2013 we lost a member of our community much too soon.

23-year-old Phoenix Firefighter and CFU member Bradley Harper had just finished fighting a mulch fire in south Phoenix Saturday night, when a fire truck and ambulance tried to pass each other on a narrow road. Harper, who was taking off his gear at the time, found himself pinned between the two vehicles. He later died at St. Joseph's hospital.

IMG_3237Thanks to everyone who participated in this Hero WOD.

The Big Clean Complex

The Big Clean Complex

6 sets of the following Complex :
High Hang Squat Clean + Hang Squat Clean + Squat Clean + Push Press
High Hang Squat Clean + Hang Squat Clean + Squat Clean + Push Jerk
High Hang Squat Clean + Hang Squat Clean + Squat Clean + Split Jerk

IMG_2999One set consists of all 12 reps. Try not to drop the bar during the entire set; if you must drop after the Overhead movements, it’s allowed – just be quick to get back on the bar.  Rest as needed between sets and try to increase weight after each set.

High Hang – Start with the bar at “the pockets.”
Hang – Start with the bar just above the knee.
Squat Clean – Start with the bar on the ground.

                                                                              Compare to Dec 2012
