I just want to shout out to all the trainers and especially Troy Straith, for all the love and attention sent my way during the trials and tribulations of learning the never ending technical skills associated with crossfit during my time with Crossfit BC.
It all started with a month of 6am classes to learn the crossfit fundamentals. Not only did I despise the thought of getting up before the birds, but I had never touched a barbell in my life, barely ever lifted a dumbbell and my squat, wow my squat, if you can call it that, looked more like an attempt at downward dog or something as my heels were way off the ground and the chances of me sitting into my squat at the bottom and holding it, quite frankly didn’t exist! I was tilted like the leaning tower of Pisa with my hands touching the ground! Not a pretty site. Nevertheless, with some work and encouragement from the trainers I now know what a snatch, clean & jerk, deadlift, clean etc is and not think of them along the Karma Sutra line which was previously thought. So a big thank you to all the trainers at Crossfit BC for helping me along the way and opening my eyes to a whole new world called ‘weights’. Oh and my squat is looking much more like a squat these days too. Thank you!!
Troy’s final workout for me at the gym was as follows:
· 21 – toes to bar, Russian twists and then situps
· 15 - toes to bar, Russian twists and then situps
· 9 - toes to bar, Russian twists and then situps
Deadlift % of your max weight along the following lines (I started with 150lbs):
· 1 X 5 reps @ 75%
· 1 X 4 reps @ 80%
· 1 X 3 reps @ 85%
· 1 X 2 reps @ 90%
· 1 X 2 reps @ 95%
· 1 X 2 reps @ 90%
WOD:
3 x the following:
· 30 secs total handstand hold
· 20 pushups
· 50 airsquats
Time = 8:33
Thanks again Crossfit BC! Gladys will be back hehe
