Workout of the Day

5 Rounds for time:
15 Hang Cleans
20 Sit-ups
30 Double Unders

Session Notes
Here’s a new CrossFit acronym to add to your repertoire: ARS. Ass Raspberry Syndrome. I can say that I have never had this problem, but I’ve heard of it often: too many sit-ups lead to a large, rosy patch of skin on one’s buttocks. If you suffer from ARS, try this: on your sit-ups, don’t let your butt come off the floor at the bottom or top of the rep. Once you peel off the floor then slam back down I believe that you create some excess friction which creates the rubbing, chafing and general raspberry-like state of the booty.

WOD Warning
We are going to be learning how to rope climb tomorrow. Bring a pair of long socks or pants to keep from burning your legs. This isn’t mandatory, but will be really helpful.

Good Causes to Get Behind

We are going to be holding a CrossFit event at our gym this coming Saturday. All are invited. This event is a benefit for a great cause and we hope you’ll attend. More info can be found on the event page.

Note: We will only have one regular class on Saturday at 9am as well as the Bring a Buddy/Open Public workout which takes place at 10am. If you’d like to bring someone to that or you’re interested in just giving our gym a try register HERE.
