The 'Collin' aftermath!
Here is one for your diaries - CrossFit Darwin will be closed for the following dates over the Christmas period - 24th, 25th, 26th Dec and 31st Dec, 1st, 2nd Jan. I will pause everyone's membership for these 6 days.

 The scale will be a half 'Collin'  - so a 200m run and 6 reps of each exercise

Friday 26 November - Skills and Mobility

 So.... who's keen to run (or walk) 3k dressed as Santa? Check out the website with all the info on Darwin's first ever Variety Santa Fun Run here. It is on the same day as our Christmas Lunch - perfect, lets do it!
Also - beers after the 5:30pm session today? Don't make me drink alone!

Thursday 25 Nov - 'Running Jackie' - Run 1k, 50 Thrusters (20/15), 30 PullUps

 'Jackie' is a benchmark WOD that starts off with a 1000m row. As we don't have rowers yet we will run instead. The 3 fastest male and female times (as rx'd) will go up on the benchmark board!
Also the CFD Christmas Lunch will be at Cornucopia Museum Cafe at 12 noon on Sunday 5th Dec - if you are planning on being there (and you all should) then let me know either on comments or over the next couple of days - thanks!

Sunday 21 Nov - Open Gym 2-4pm

Come in and practice something that you are not so good at - Kipping Pull Ups, OverHead Squats, Double Unders?? Those who take the time to practice these skills are the ones who make the greatest gains in fitness in the shortest time. 

Saturday 20 Nov - 'AirForce WOD' - 20 Thruster, 20 Sumo DeadLift HighPull, 20 Push Jerk, 20 OverHead Squat, 20 Front Squat

The weights are 40/30 for all exercises. If you are thinking that looks too easy you are right - there is a catch - 4 burpees on the minute, every minute until you have completed 20 reps of every exercise!! 
Happy Mega WOD Saturday!

Friday 19 Nov - 13 Min AMRAP - 10 DeadLift (100/70), 5 Pistols (each side), 15 Burpees

Happy Birthday today to mum!!

Wednesday 10 Nov - 3 Rnds - 30 KB Swing (24/16) 25 WallBall, 20 PullUp

How much fun is rope climbing?? I forgot to mention to wear long socks - sorry to those who are missing a bit of skin around the ankle area - at least we know for next time!

Monday 8 Nov - 12min AMRAP - 9 Dumbbell Thruster (15/10), 6 Sit Up, 1 Rope Ascent

There are progressions before an actual rope climb - I know I don't have to remind you all but CF workouts are scalable - to infinity! Don't miss this one because you think you cant, or worse, don't want to climb a rope!
