OPEN WODS THIS THURSDAY NIGHT 8PM AT CF BALANCE! Please register for the open through the games site.  Then, register on our website (as you would normally for regular classes) to participate at 8pm.  Only those who are registered through the games site may participate at this time.   Please register by Thursday morning.  Another alternative is to complete your workout at CF Dupont Friday at 5 or 6pm.

Each week we will be posting the top 3 men and top 3 females from CF Balance and CF Dupont.  More details on CF Balance vrs. CF Dupont team competition will be posted soon. 

As for affiliate teams, please register under CF Balance.  We plan on sending one team to Regionals.  Qualifying is based on the top 3 men and top 3 females' scores from the affiliate.  However, other competitors in the Open (who were not in the top 3 can still join the team).  This will be determined by the coaches at the end of the Open.  To qualify as a competitor on our team, you must be registered and complete all the Open WODs under our team.  You may choose to do your workouts elsewhere and this will not limit you to competing on the team.

WOD for Tuesday:

Shoulder Press*

5 X 65% of 1RM

5X 75% of 1RM

3(5X 85% of 1RM)

*If you got more than 6 reps on your last working set last week (1+ set) then add 10lbs to max.  If you got 2-6 reps add 5lbs.  Do not adjust max for missed reps or if you had 1 rep.

For 8 minutes:

Complete 100 Sit-ups

AMRAP Row for meters (You will have the remainder of the time to obtain as many meters as possible)

Post weights and total meters to comments.

Crazy schedule Tuesday... can't make the regular class times. Anybody want to do this one with me at 1pm?

Tried to up my max to 70 per the instructions, but I failed on the 5th rep of my set at 75%, so kept the weight the same for the last 3 sets- and failed on 5 each time. I blame the thrusters yesterday, because I've done 3*5 @ 55 before. Question fr danielle- should I try the new max again next week or stay with 65?

Abmats in 2:59 (I think this is a personal best)

Tuesdays = class day = modified workout day
I had to use a Lifestyle machine upstairs. I have no idea what the bar is, but here's the weight I put on it:
20-25-30-35-40 (I increased until I found a weight that felt right for 85%)

I planned on doing the WOD, but the rower was taken so II did situps and the Cybex instead.
