Painstorm!

Theresa shows fantastic positioning for shoulder to overhead.

Theresa shows fantastic positioning for shoulder to overhead.

The History:
The first Painstorm was a gathering of some of the UK Crossfitters. Given that some of them traveled up 6 hours (by bus) for the meeting, no one felt like doing Fran and calling it a day. So the first Painstorm was something like warm up one round of Helen, followed by a typical CF WOD, followed by the Secret Service Snatch test, and of course partying afterwards. 

The Painstorm soon evolved into a monthly competition between CrossFit London (represented by Kempie and Karl Steadman), CrossFit Central Scotland (represented by Davie and his crew) some displaced US military (Gordon Limb and some marine flyers in London, Brian White and his group called team Fallujah) and the group from Brand X. Dan Colson from CrossFit Rockford has "happily" joined in for the last three or four. 

Karl, Davie and Jeff take turns creating the Painstorms. They tend to be long efforts, in keeping with the original tradition. Weights and reps are scaled of course, so everyone can join in.

WOD for Wednesday, May 13, 2013

Painstorm Nov. 2011 

Five 6-minute rounds with no rest in-between.

  • At the start of each interval, run 800 meters. (rowing sub = 800-1000m depending on your rowing skill)  your average 500m row should be around 2 minutes

Then, in the remaining time, complete As Many Rounds As Possible of:

  • 3 Push Press, 135/95lb
  • 6 Pull-ups
  • 9 Box Jump (24/20 in.)

In each round, continue from where you left off in the AMRAP portion. Scoring is the number of reps of the AMRAP portion per round. (1 ROUND = 18 REPS)

It is kind of getting COMPLEX

Barbell complexes are a great tool to develop strength, timing power and positions for the Olympic lifts.  Not only are they a super fat blaster, they enhance muscular development and elevates peak strength.  Complexes and shorter WODs do not raise cortisol levels but they do release beneficial anabolic hormones.  We have been programming simple, yet effective complexes that flow from one movement to another.  Chai and Yvonne demonstrate how a three movement barbell complex is done!

WOD for Tuesday, May 14, 2013

5 minutes of Turkish Get-Ups 

This is not a timed workout. 5 minute effort with focus on moving well.
