Normal Class Schedule mon,tues and wed

WOD: 
1-10-1-20-1-30
Front Squat
Rest as needed between sets. Add up all 6 weight made for your total.
This is a new rep range .com has been playing with the last few days and I'm excited to see how it feels. Obviously none of us have tried this yet so I expect everyone to likely make mistakes in the weight they choose to go after. If you fail on any of the sets, simply chalk that up and move onto the next.

CrossFit Games Sectional Registration

Those of you that are wanting to compete at the sectionals tryouts for the CrossFit Games, the online registration is now open. Go to crossfit.com and click on crossfit games link to register. The sectionals are going to be held in Squamish on March 27, 28th.  It is going to be a great weekend for sure. The early plan is to head up to Whistler on Sunday night after the competition for a little "r and r". Registration is $100 for all athletes and $50 for spectators ( which myself and many others think is way too high). Anyone wanting to watch should wait a bit to see if that price comes down. If you are wanting to compete however do not wait as we don't know if there will be a limit to the amount of athletes aloud in.

Christmas Eve WOD:
Those of you who didn't do the twelve wods of christmas can do that. If you lifted today than we will take the time to work on some weaknesses and have some fun.

Lumberjack 20

This is taken from CrossFit.com 
On Nov. 5 at 1:34 p.m., a terrorist named Major Nidal Hasan attacked fellow soldiers and civilians at Fort Hood, Texas. When the shooting ended, he had killed 12 soldiers and one civilian and wounded 43 others.
Spc. Frederick Greene, 29, of Mountain City, Tennessee, Pfc. Aaron Thomas Nemelka, 19, of West Jordan, Utah, Pfc. Michael Pearson, 22, of Bolingbrook, Illinois, and Spc. Kham Xiong, 23, of St. Paul, Minnesota, along with eleven of the wounded were active CrossFitters in the 20th Engineer Battalion, home to Lumberjack CrossFit.
This workout is in honor of these soldiers, one month after the murderous rampage. We are asking the CrossFit community to make donations in honor of these soldiers at cflumberjack.org.

WOD: 
"Lumberjack 20"
20 Deadlifts 275/185
Run 400m
20 KB swings Black/Red
Run 400m
20 Overhead Squats 115/75
Run 400m
20 Burpees
Run 400m
20 Pullups Chest to Bar/ Regular
Run 400m
20 Box jumps 24/20
Run 400m
20 Hang Squat Cleans 95/65
Run 400m

Obiously the weight for some of these movements is very advanced. Please scale down as needed. Each athlete will only be able to use one bar. Having to shed the weight off the bar and reset for each of these exercises will be part of the workout. If you are a new athlete to the gym, this workout will be subbed down quite a bit. Weather is supposed to be dry but cold so please dress accordingly.

Look forward to seeing everyone Saturday Night around 7 for the CrossFit Lions Christmas Party. If you are planning on drinking please leave your car at home. 

Christmas Party is Tomorrow Night!!



7pm ish start time. Reminder that the cost is $10 and if you would like to bring a few soda pops that would be great. We will have some food here but dinner should be eaten before hand. Also the upper parking lot will be closed, so please park on the street and walk up the ramp. All are welcome and I am really looking forward to having a few Christmas cocktails with everyone.

Clean and Jerk + Snatch


I think we should forget about training for the Sectionals and try and put a team together to take on this group. We can take them. 
Today we are going to work on both Olympic lifts. The Squat Clean and Jerk and the Snatch. If you are a new athlete here you likely will just be working the Clean and Jerk.
WOD: 
Clean and Jerk 6x2 ( should get up to roughly 80% of your 1 rep max. No more)
Snatch - 8x1 work up to a heavy single
* note this might take more than an hour to complete. If you can stay past the hour to finish up that would be great. If not no problem.

Happy 31st Birthday GC



Today is our favorite curly haired member Geoff "GC" Clements 31st birthday. GC is my best buddy and a killer in the Den. In order to honor his special day I thought we could do one of two things. Number one would be to throw an all day party at CrossFit Lions that includes Rasberry vodka and a few silver bullets or we could do a bad ass workout.....So first beer gets cracked in the 7am class. See you then. Kidding.

Tech:
Muscle Ups or kipping pullups
WOD: 
"31"
3.1 rounds for time:
31 Pushups 
31 SDHP 75/45
31 Thursters 75/45
The .1 rounds is an addtional 31 reps of any of the three exercises in the workout. For example when you are done the three rounds you can then do 10 pushups, 11 SDHP and 10 thrusters or you can do 31 pushups. Up to you. Also within the pushup portion of the workout you must also complete 31 burpees. Each burpee will also count as a pushup. You may complete those 31 burpees at any point during the workout.

Fantastic Work at The CrossFit Winter Challenge

More to come on this but we had an awesome time this weekend in Victoria and I was so proud of everyone's performance in the three events. Final placing to come but here were a few highlights.
Kioks finishing 2nd in the second WOD for advance males and started the WOD with a 5:05 mile. I believe "B" won the intermediate class 2nd WOD. I finished 2nd in the first workout for advance males. There was many other great moments and all those involved please leave a comment with your thoughts on the weekend and if you would like to do stuff like this in the future (judging by the party we through down on Saturday night I think it will be a resounding yes). In honor of the great effort done yesterday I would like the gym to tackle one of these workouts tomorrow. If you competed this weekend and feel the urge to come in the gym, I will have seperate programming for you.

TECH: 
Sumo Deadlift 5x3
WOD: 
"CrossFit Winter Challenge WOD 2"
1 mile run *
30 box jumps
30 burpees
30 wallballs
30 GHD Situps
* Please bring warm running gear for the run. If you didn't bring any than you may row 1700 meters as a sub. I would prefer everyone to run however. Also I will take this time and say that it is your responsibility to bring outside weather gear to the gym each day if you see a run in programming.

9am class only tomorrow

As previously stated there will only be 1 class tomorrow, the 9am. GC has kindly offered to open up the gym and do his best to run the class. He is not a coach so be kind to him.

WOD:
"White Men Can't Jump"
3 rounds for time
20 Hang Squat Cleans @ 95/65
30 Wallballs
40 Jumping Pullups
50 Box jumps 20"/16"

If you are a new athlete and aren't really comfortable with the clean than please sub for a D ball slam. The 16" box jumps are setup by stacking 4 45# plates ontop of each other. Jumping pullups height is determined by putting both hands straight overhead. The bar should be at wrist height. However scale down the height if you are finding that challenging.

Wish us luck. Will try and keep you updated on our twitter page. Cheers.
