''The 9 Fundamental Circles of Hell'' (02.03.2010)
This WOD is one of the garage crucibles we used to instill a deep understanding of the fundamental movements in our original crew of CrossFitters. One such athlete, Mr. Sock Foul himself, recently returned from a tour overseas and we thought this would be a perfect time to reintroduce an old nightmare of a WOD. While definitely challenging in the stamina and endurance domains of fitness the primary emphasis here is for each athlete to demonstrate correct technique across all nine fundamental movements while under duress.

The link below is to the original post/day that we did this WOD, the nostalgia is thick when going back there and reading of everyone's epic triumphs.

Original Post

The Round/Rep Scheme Explained...
There are 9 total rounds in this WOD, all of which begin with 9 Medicine Ball Cleans (20lbs). Each round beyond the first adds another CrossFit Fundamental Movement x 9 reps, so round two has Med Ball Cleans x 9 and Push Jerk x 9 for a total of 18 reps. Scale loads as necessary, and as always safety is paramount. The order of movements added each round is as follows (check the image for the table chart we used to keep things simple):
Medicine Ball Cleans (20lbs)
Push Jerk (65lbs)
Overhead Squat (65lbs)
Sumo Deadlift High-Pull (95lbs)
Push Press (65lbs)
Front Squat (65lbs)
Deadlift (95lbs)
Press (65lbs)
Air Squat

Notes: The epic devastation planned for today was bumped back to Wednesday. While this change in the order of WODs will allow for better numbers on our back squat max efforts, it is primarily because certain athletes couldn't make it in today and the thought of them missing out on such a special pain-festival was unbearable.

''Frozen Shoulder Syndrome'' (01.27.2010)

Everyone at the Stable knows Dewy is a seriously dedicated CrossFitter.
It's evident in the way he throws himself into the fires of the WOD every day, always striving to exert himself to the max regardless of what each task might be or the potential pain associated... This type of mental disposition is something we recognize and respect, as it's what drives people like Dewy to new levels of achievement, it's what lets him come away from each trial by fire a more capable, proficient and fit athlete.
Congratulations, Dewy, we can not wait to see where you take this thing next.

Warm-up Drills (01.27.2010)
Row 500m (Damper Setting on 7)
9 Fundamentals x 7 each (45/20lbs)
Shoulder Dislocates (PVC)
Row 500m (Damper Setting on 4)

Notes: Find and record your power ratio for each 500m Row Interval. To determine your power ratio (for a particular distance, damper setting) take your avarage watts produced over the work interval and divide it by your bodyweight. Make sure you continue to collect this kind of information, as a small 500m Row piece will not provide you with the same quality of information that average wattage over a 3 or 5km would.

The links below will bring you to a series of video clips in which Adrian Bozman (a Coach/Trainer for both San Francisco CrossFit and CrossFit HQ) provides a wealth of insight into developing the pistol. These video articles are being shared through the CrossFit.com site as a publication of the CrossFit Journal. Poking around in the archives or exercise demo section on the Main Site will always be an excellent way to learn.

Notes: Perform a Burpee Pick-up with your chest centered over a bumper plate or odd object on the ground (25/45lbs in this case). When jumping your feet from the prone push-up position towards your hands grab the item and take it anyway possible from ground to overhead. Bring the item back down and place it beneath you, moving directly into your next Burpee Pick-up. A dropped object from any height negates the previous repetition.

''Tabata Thrash-Up II.'' (01.20.2010)

Stable News
Opening the gym on Tuesday was like falling down a rabbit hole. Blinking several times and rubbing my eyes did nothing to diminish what I assumed was an early morning hallucination ... somehow our two lonely plyo-boxes had procreated overnight.
For CrossFitters to question such a miracle would have been blasphemy, instead our morning crew put these wooden wonders to use the best way possible; for time. The post-wod decision was unanimous, the boxes were absolutely not mirages. Everyone's legs agreed.
It took a bit of sleuthing but I finally learned who had gifted us these tools of our trade; Walter!
Walter trains with the dedicated athletes in our late afternoon Pain-Circus, and we all owe him a serious, ''Thank you''.
Expert craftsmanship skills are immediately evident, each box is heavy duty enough to easily withstand all the airborne hatred our athletes can produce. We can't thank Walter enough for the time and effort he spent helping take our facility to a new level.
Our family here at CrossFit New Hampshire has become something very special;
A unique community of athletes built around and drawn to distinct qualities of character rarely encountered among our peers in other venues of society.
