There are at least 2 sides to every story and this video represents 1 side. I happen to believe everything in this video is true. There are certainly bad trainers out there who have and are probably hurting people instead of helping them. However, I believe the best way to combat that unfortunate fact is through widespread education of healthy exercise, starting at a young age. CrossFit, Marathons, Bodybuilding, Yoga, they all have a known effect on the body when performed responsibly and they are all good. I believe it is the sovereign right of an adult to choose which type of exercise to do for themselves and honest education is necessary. In my opinion, the empowerment of people through education is truly the best solution in this situation.
Durability
Band Pull-Apart – 2 min AMRAP
-keep those shoulders down and avoid contracting your upper traps when fatigue sets in
Skill/Strength
Bench Press
3 sets of 8 to 10 reps – Building
WOD
3 Rounds
30 Second AMRAP – AirBike Sprint (1 Cal = 1 Point)
30 Second Rest
1 min AMRAP – Thrusters (45/35) (1 Rep = 1 Point)
1 min Rest
2 min AMRAP – Kipping HSPU (1 Rep = 1 Point)
3 min Rest & Repeat
If we all had our own clock, this wouldn’t be complicated. But we don’t and it might be. We will have to go in heats of 5 athletes at a time considering there are only 5 AirBikes. Heat 2 will start at the 2 minute mark, Heat 3 at the 4 minute mark and Heat 4 at the 6 minute mark.
Heat Start Times
Heat 1 – 0 – 8 – 16
Heat 2 – 2 – 10 – 18
Heat 3 – 4 – 12 – 20
Heat 4 – 6 – 14 – 22
It is going to be difficult for the coaches to actually coach AND watch the clock for all heats so that athletes can be told when to start and when to stop. For this reason, I think we need the athletes to watch the clock and advance when they should, on their own, without reliance on the coach to indicated when it’s time to start and stop. Good luck to all!
