PXT: Personal Excellence Training

NEW CLASS TIME!: Weekend Update for February 4th and 5th, 2012

PXTCody — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 00:41:36 +0000

So what’s keeping you from trying a Boxing or MMA conditioning workout? Most of you have shed more blood on our pull-up bar then you ever will in one of these workouts! There is NO sparring. There is NO grappling. Both the Boxing and the MMA Conditioning use familiar movements that you have learned in CrossFit such as Squats, Wall-Ball, Sledgehammer Strikes, Sit-ups, Push-ups etc… and combine them with instruction on Heavy Bags and Focus Mitts.

You will get a great workout.

You will get coaching on the movements.

You will add diversity to your training.

You will have fun!!!

If you saw this workout and your first thought was something along the lines of, “Oh crap!”, then you need to make the upcoming Running and Endurance Clinic a priority! We have seen demonstrable results with our 6-week Running and Endurance Clinic! Before and after video analysis has shown dramatic improvement in the form for every student who completes the course, and with improved form comes improved efficiency and decreased risk of pain and injury!

Get Your Head in The Game : 120202

For some, weight lifting can be a form of meditation. Sometimes it’s only for a few seconds, sometimes it’s longer but perhaps you’ve experienced a moment in your workout where you were so present in your work, that you forget about everything else. The music might be loud, but you don’t hear it. There may be people around but you are alone with yourself. Time is on the clock, but you are only in the moment.

Hopefully you have experienced this at some point in your training. This can happen by accident, where you don’t realize that it’s happened until it’s over, but with practice, you can get yourself in this place intentionally. I encourage you to experiment with this. Think about the movement you are about to perform. SEE yourself succeeding. Set up your stance, grip and position. Take a deep breath and tighten up where you need to, then… just be in the moment.

WOD:

5 Rounds, EACH for weight and time:
3 Power Cleans
3 Hang Cleans
6 1-foot Ring Touch Burpees

The goal for this workout is to complete the entire round with no rest, as quickly as possible and with as much weight as you can move correctly. In each round, you will take the barbell from the ground to front rack position three times, then from a hang position into a full front squat and stand three times before dropping the barbell. You will then complete 6 burpees, each one terminating with a touch of a ring that is one foot above your standing reach. Rest as needed between each round and evaluate whether you can add weight for the next round.

For this workout you will have two scores. The weight on the barbell, followed by the time to complete each round.
