5K Row -- More Classes For Today

Because we have only 4 rowers, I am going to run more classes today and in 30min intervals. Classes will be 7:00am,7:30,8:00,8:30,9:00,9:30am and 3:30,4:00,4:30,5:00,5:30,6:00,6:30. There will be no 7pm class as I am attending Shadi's wedding that evening. Please be prepared to work on some strength or skill work if more than 4 athletes are at each class. We will try and get people running through the 5k row as fast as possible. By the way if you don't do this today than I will make you pick it up sometime next week so you might as well get in here and get'er done.

Deadlifts and running -- Bye Bye Danimal

We are sadly losing one of our top athletes in the gym  Dan "Danimal" Lamaga aka Dancing Dan aka Danceable. Dan is heading back to Saskatchewan to build a house with his sis before he heads back out on the cruise ships for another tour of duty in early October. We are offcourse hoping to get the big man back in the Den in the very near future and I hope he will post his workouts scores on our blog. I told him I would honor any times or weights he throws down wherever he is in the world for our leaderboard.

Dan it was a pleasure to have you in the gym and I couldn't be prouder of the overall progress in your GPP that we were able to make in such a short time period. That is what hard work can do. As you all know his strength numbers across the board are pretty much legendary in here now but it was his ability to move around his bodyweight that I thought was most impressive. Dan also never gave anything less than 110% in any workout he ever did. Never once did I see him take a day off when he was in the gym. Always hit the strength big and then left his life on the mat with the metcon.


WOD: 
21 Deadlifts 225/155
400m run
15 Deadlifts 225/155
400m run
9 Deadlifts 225/155
400m
Post: 
Work on your gymnastic weaknesses ( ie. Muscle Ups / Handstand Pushups / ring dips etc.)

Note that the deadlift weight here will be subject to change. If you don't have a 350 / 225 pound deadlift than I want that weight scaled down. If you have a larger than that number than I want that weight moved up. This workout should be similar to Helen in terms of its focus, meaning that its all about the run. The reps and weight should allow you to run hard in each round with your 400 splits obviously decreasing as you fatigue.
