MONDAY 02/03/2025

February is here, and it's Bring a Friend Week at CrossFit ATP. This week you can bring whoever you want for free as many times as they want to come. This is your chance to show them just how amazing the community is and how CrossFit ATP allows them to experience the grind with us! We kick things off with "Cindy" on Monday, focusing on form and foundational movements, followed by a challenging 3-set AMRAP on Tuesday to test our pacing. Throughout the week, we’ll push through a fun version of "DT" on Wednesday, a grueling bike-and-sit-up combo on Thursday, and wrap up with Open 21.1 on Friday—let’s see how far we’ve come with those Wall Walks! Don't forget that we have our double under be better challenge starting today- 2 minutes of double under practice every WEEK DAY! Let's get after it.

Whiteboard of the Day

Remember, we are resetting at the bottom for the dead-stop after each lift. Control the bar back down, stop, and regain tension before going into the next lift.Before ascending, we want athletes to take a solid stomach breath to secure the midline. Pull the slack out of the bar by activating your lat muscles.

Pull-Ups: Engage the lats,  make sure athletes have full range of motion, find a progression where they can do 5 unbroken pull-ups across all sets.

Push-Ups: Keep a straight line from head to heels. If form breaks down, modify to push-ups from the knees or to a box.

Air Squats: Keep chest up, drive through heels, and ensure full depth. Have athletes scale the volume to 10 if they cannot finish their 15 in 2 sets or less each round. Visitors need to either do box squats or squats to a wall ball.
