by stretch May 22, 2011 CrossFit London workouts

Midline stability! It’s an important factor for all movement, not just running.  So what exactly is midline stability? How do we create awareness? How can we improve it? After some Kelly Starrett mobilitywod ankle and hip mobilization and a number of POSE running drills, the participants where ready for todays CFE session. The objective was [...]

Today’s CFE London session challenged London Crossfitters to complete a WOD of 6x 200m intervals on the 3minutes (run 200m, rest the remainder of the 3minutes, then repeat…hard and fast).

Day 100: It’s done. Over. Finished! There was an amazing atmosphere in the gym this afternoon as the last remaining 100 day’ers* ceremonially completed their final 100 burpees. We were joined by the incredibly sporting, Lauri, Simon, Colm, Cian and Phil for an all-out thrash against the clock. I’m not quite sure how to sum up [...]

Thumbnail image for Wod 1st April 2011: Grace and stuff

A lively evening began with some mysterious mobility drills, otherwise known as the boring poo that used to be passed off on women in “legs bums and tums” classes, but with the added twist of some post isometric relaxation, and reciprocal inhibition… wow…. God how boring. Anyway it was a cheap trick to get a [...]

WOD 11 Jan: Five Alive

by Chris January 11, 2011 CrossFit London workouts

It’s a bish bash bosh post today… Warm up for this morning was Samson stretch and Burgener warm-up drills. The strength component was deadlift 5-5-5-5-5. I’m hanging around the 5 rep range for January as I’m looking to clean up some technique on movements that can breakdown on lower reps and heavier weights. As your [...]

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 20 June: Bags’o'fun

by Steven June 20, 2010 CrossFit London workouts

Today was a good day to try out the new sandbags what I made yesterday (innit?) Sunday’s morning’s class were treated to a variety of sandbag related moves as a warm up/for my personal amusement. We squatted, cleaned and pressed, and even ran around loading and unloading them. Fun times. We also had a pop [...]

WOD 6 June: Sorry…

by Steven June 6, 2010 CrossFit London workouts

Today’s WOD is one of those that I feel a little uncomfortable about even writing up on the board. The give-away is usually when I write the exercises, but not the rep/round scheme. I even tried the age-old tactic of doing “fun-stuff” at the start of the session as a way of softening the blow… [...]

WOD 30 May: The hits just keep on coming

Rehab Three rounds 5x box jumps 5x left armed kettlebell swings 5x right armed kettlebell swings 5x left armed kettlebell snatches 5x right armed kettlebell snatches 10x squats You keep me [...]

WOD 26 April: “Carlos wept”

by Steven April 26, 2010 CrossFit London workouts

Today’s sessions had a different feel to them. We started up with a ‘snatch clinic’; breaking the movement down into its component parts before building it back up in to the full sequence. Lots of emphasis on jumping aggressively to ‘full extension’ with the hips, and catching the bar low. Some really impressive technique building [...]
