As normal, the air was thick with PB’s

The one thing I gained was how fast the shoulders fatigue, so, if you are going for a max Press, don’t waste time doing lots of heavy warm up sets,

WOD 24 March: “The well earned rest”

Andrew — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 22:21:13 +0000

Out went horrible workouts, and in came relaxation, bench sitting, and chilling out: Big Time.

We invited every class just to take it easy. Pictured above is the 6.30pm class waiting for their first cup of tea and a scone.

Oooooh, I’m such a fibber! Sorry.

Skill practise, mostly focusing on double-unders (or tangling yourself up in rope like a drunken kitten trapped in a knitting basket), followed by 3 x 5 strict press, followed by:

Three rounds:

12 Pull ups
21 (heavy) Kettlebell swings
15 knees to elbows

So, the photo really is the 6.30m class having a well earned rest. Well done, clap, clap. (I had you going though, eh! Scones, yep, you were falling for it…)

Here is Kate, upping her press!

"I will up my press!"

Crossfit London i-Course

The Crossfit London i-Course is the ideal way to begin to master those essential Crossfit skills; skills we think that everyone should have, but most so-called, fitness instructors are incapable of performing them, let alone teaching them!

On this course we will introduce you to some great basic gymnastic skills: the L sit, the handstand, the handstand push up, and the infamous muscle up, along with the Olympic Lifts, including the foundation Crossfit moves of the squat (air, overhead, and front) the presses (strict, push, and push jerk) and the deadlift and sumo deadlift high pull.

We sprinkle pull up/press up and dip progressions and show you some, frankly, nasty core exercises.

This is a day of learning, not “beasting” , taught by four of the UK’s leading Crossfit trainers: Andrew Stemler and Steven Shrago from Crossfit London Uks famous Blakboard Gym, Colin Menniss from TSG4 ( the Metropolitan Police Territorial Support unit), and Chet from Funckey.

Apart from the skills you learn, these events turn out to be really “nice” days. You get lots of pointers, and lots of help.

Held at the Crossfit London HQ at Arch 9 Gales Gardens, E2 0EJ. The Gym is just 45 seconds from Bethnal Green Tube, and easily accessible from Central London.

The dates ( all Sundays) for the first half of 2010 are as follows:

January 24
February 28
March 28
April 18
May 23
June 27

The course runs from 09:30 till 16:30 and is the only one of its kind aimed at “normal” people. The cost is £100 for the day with a 15% discount for service people (armed forces and emergency services) and you get a free copy of the Elite Fitness guide, the only exercise “E-book” tough enough to cover the range of this course ( Worth £12.99)

Crossfit London i-course 8 Nov 2009

But to make the message absolutely clear, this is a course designed for normal people so that you can go away and build effective skills into your regime. We demand no loyalty to Crossfit or its methods, We simply want you moving properly and effectively. This course will help you do this.

Just a little point. Crossfit London UK supports all of the “services”. including the military and Police forces, and we are delighted that some of our members and instructors are currently in both the civilian and armed forces.
