Hope you all stayed safe this past weekend with our wintery weather, and even though it led to us postponing movie night, don't worry it will be better than ever THIS FRIDAY! As we kick off another week at CrossFit ATP, it's the perfect time to refocus and tackle the goals you've set for yourself. Write your fitness goals on the whiteboard in the lobby so we can help keep you accountable and help you achieve them. This week, let's embrace the challenges ahead and push ourselves to be stronger today than yesterday. Each day is an opportunity to get better, so we look forward to seeing your smiling faces in the gym this week!

Whiteboard of the Day

Athletes will complete 5 sets of 10 reps total (5/5) of Back rack Step back Lunges. This will be performed from the rack. Unrack, step back from the rig, engage the core, and stabilize before taking a deep breath, lunging, and exhaling when stepping out of the lunge. The lunge involves stepping backward and dropping the knee to the ground (90/90) before returning to standing

Stimulus for today's workout will challenge athletes as they try to hold a high-intensity set. Athletes are tasked with giving quick bursts of effort to sustain a near 1:1 work-to-rest ratio. Let’s attack each set/movement, recover, and see if we can mentally hold on.Athletes must choose their weight carefully and adjust reps/movement accordingly to consistently finish around 30 seconds or less.

Bar facing Burpees: Athletes must move at a moderate rate with a pace that allows consistency and a steady breathing pattern. The movement starts with a burpee and then a jump over the barbell. Athletes must face the bar during the burpee (no lateral burpees allowed). Athletes do not have to show full extension when jumping over the barbell and may find that staying lower makes the movement more efficient. Athletes must take off with two feet and land with both feet to be off the floor as most body passes over the bar. Modify this movement to burpee bar step-overs. If athletes know they can not complete 5 reps under 20 seconds, scale the total number down.

Clean and Jerks: The weight selected should allow athletes to complete a set of 5 touch-and-go reps consistently without breaking down in form. Demo and encourage the use of hook grip for all athletes (even with tiny hands). Starting feet wider than the normal “jumping position” and staying there throughout these reps will allow for faster cycling time rather than resetting the feet with each rep. Focus is on a smooth pull, catching a good 2in dip, and transitioning right overhead.
