Lil Barbara

Strength: 
Box Squat - Heavy Single
*Remember You must control the weight on the way down. Ideally the bar is set in the low bar position, you will have a wider than normal stance and really focus on driving all your weight backwards. For most of you you will have to start with a higher than hip level box. Need to pick a height that allows you to minimize your shin angle. This is a heavy single not a 1RM. This will the first time most of you have gone heavy with a box squat so please respect the fact that your form has to be perfect.
WOD: 
"Lil Barbara"
3 rounds for time w/t 3min break between rounds
20 pullups
30 pushups
40 anchored situps
50 squats

Izzie -- Steven Bunches Sighting

Izzie is a CrossFit Football WOD that Andy gave to CrossFit Vancouver a couple of days ago. Looks like a real beauty. The RX weight is legit so please choose carefully, it should be heavy for each rep but not completely out of the question.

Great to get Garth back in the Den throwing down a double metcon today. He lost to Scott by 1 sec in the burpee pullup, db hang power clean wod and then destroyed the 2 for 1 wallball workout. I think deep down he really misses the non air conditioned, hot as fuck warehouse we call home.

WOD: 
"Izzie"
12,9,6,3
Power Cleans 185/115
Ring Dips

* Warm up the power clean to a weight above what you are going to use for the WOD.

Rest Day / Make Up Day - Peak Performance Project

Annie and Team Lions at the CrossFit Games Affiliate Cup second workout. Today as usual is rest day/makeup day. However since we had a holiday Monday some of you are only on two days in a row. Please come in and I'll prescribe you a workout. I don't think a lot of people however have done both Tuesday and Wednesday workouts. Below is another Kyprios Peak Performance video. I also want to note that Kyprios is not our only family member who is in this competition. Reese's band Parlour Steps are also in the competition. Check out one of their videos below. Pretty cool to have two of these super talented guys throwing down in our gym each and every day. Congrats.
