Thumbnail image for WOD 26 Jan: Wall love and whipped dogs

Some people love walls so much that they will do anything to get close to them; even pretending to be doing “squat therapy” just to get a quick feel off a vulnerable wall. Perverts!! Well anyway, once we had called the police, we got on with some snatch practice, followed by a really nasty WOD. [...]

Saturday 11th December 2010 After warming up we did some skills and drills. Muscle ups. A much debated movement. In the gymnastic world a simple functional movement for getting from the floor in to the rings to start a routine.  In our normal world, a highly mystical combination of massive strength, skill and agility etc… [...]

WOD 2 August: Longest. Exercise name. Ever.

by Steven August 3, 2010 CrossFit London workouts

I’ve got no love for the “sumo deadlift high pull”. Sure, it’s a got a long and unwieldy name, but doesn’t back this up with a level of “suckiness” that one would expect from such an impressive sounding title. So last night I went on a mission to find the longest exercise name (EVER), but [...]

WOD 18 July: Monkey business

by Steven July 18, 2010 CrossFit London workouts

Another action-packed Sunday morning class! We got straight down to business by monkeying around on the rings. We worked our way through some static holds, hanging baskets and inversions before bashing out some back lever progressions and skin-the-cats. And then to the WOD… 20 Thrusters 20 Sumo deadlift high pulls 20 Push-jerks 20 Overhead squats [...]

WOD 11 July: There’s a catch* (there always is…)

by Steven July 11, 2010 CrossFit London workouts

Not sure what it was, but I really enjoyed today’s session at the Blackboard Gym. To be fair, I enjoy every session, but today’s really made me smile. Perhaps it was a our warm-up of plyometric box jumping over boxes that kept increasing in height…bouncing is fun! Maybe it was the 20x sandbag step-up/10x handstand [...]
