Abs of Steel

CrossFit Carolina Beach – CrossFit

– Strength: Clusters are ”intra-set rest” meaning you’ll perform 2 reps, re-rack, rest 15s, and repeat this sequence 2 more times. The purpose is to increase loading compared to just performing a straight set of 6 reps. Build in weight.
– Metcon: Today’s ”Metcon” is more of an accessory piece for the abs/lower body with the added incentive to hold onto the barbell longer to avoid doing burpees. Try to get your lunges done in no more than 3 sets. The weight you should choose should be difficult to complete 10+ reps with. Strategy is key with T2B as Front Rack Lunges are already demanding on the core. Break sets early on T2B to avoid excessive fatigue.

– Strength: The first part of today’s strength work is a complex of 2 deadlifts + 1 Power Clean + 1 squat clean. Use 85% of weight from strength completed on 2/25.
– Metcon: Today’s workout will aim at training your anaerobic/aerobic capacity. Rest to work ratio will be 2:1 allowing enough time to recover between intervals to sustain around 85% intensity throughout the workout. This pace should feel challenging. Choose between the following movements: row, bike, sled push, or sled pull.

High Intensity = High Reps

CrossFit Carolina Beach – CrossFit

– Strength: Superset of close grip bench and legless rope climbs. Close grip bench will be performed with the hands just inside of the shoulders to emphasize the triceps. Muscle fatigue will be more of a factor on the legless rope climbs. You may need to switch to Rx option of rope climbs using legs if muscle fatigue is compromising form or safety.
– Metcon: Today’s metcon is higher intensity (80-85%). The snatch weight should be light and you should be able to cycle through fairly large sets of snatches. 400 m run will be performed after each set so this workout will end with the run

We engage, communicate, support and motivate because we were once her and she was once me.
Ladies, let’s get lifted.
Join us Friday, February 15th from 7-9:30PM for our first annual Wine & WOD.

This IS for women who want to be a part of a community of women that support, lighten and love.
This IS for women who are ready to change their lifestyle; who want to create space and time to prioritize their health but feel overwhelmed.
This IS for women who are interested in getting stronger, creating muscle tone and getting fit but don’t know how to start.
No weightlifting or CrossFit experience necessary.
Come as you are. All are welcome.
