FTX continues to be closed at this time due to Executive order 2020-10 by Governor Pritzker.

We struggle, we fight, we overcome!

There’s very little that we can truly control. Our attitude and responses are two things we can control. In everything there is an opportunity. Let us tackle this next week head-on and crush it. Now more than ever it should be quite evident how important it is to take care of our health. Highly recommend the following video and really thinking about the quote “CrossFit fixes this. Medicine babysits this.”

We are not just a workout – We are a solution!

Last week we gave you six different WODs to mix and match as desired. This week is a bit different. Monday and Tuesday are grouped together – WODs 2A&2B. Wednesday stands on its own. And Thursday through Saturday are again grouped together – WODs 2C-2E.

Just like last week, we’ve created videos for each of these WODs. There’s a video giving an overview of the whole week, a video going over the general warm-up we’ll use for the week, and then one video for each WOD.

You all did an awesome job last week posting to your Instagram accounts pictures and/or videos related to these workouts. Keep it up! This week we will be giving away another case of FitAid and bag of Natural Recovery Greens as prizes. We will also give away a free month to FTX to one of our past members that posts a pic or video related to this week’s WODs (6+ months since being a member). We’ll announce our next round of winners next weekend. The more you post, the more chances you have to win. Use #FTXAthlete #FTXHomeWOD @FTXCrossFit in order to qualify. If you still aren’t a part our private FB Group “FTX Athlete Community”, then search for it and do an invite request. We are going to post additional challenges, activities, FB live video, and more on that on that page throughout this shut-in period.

On top of these WODs, our unlimited members can take a look at our accessory programming for this week which will again provide you with additional core work.

Finally, we will be hosting live classes via Zoom this week on Monday and Tuesday at 7:30am, 11:00 am and 5:30pm.
Use Personal Meeting ID – 275-189-2104 / You’ll need a password to get into the meeting. You can find that in the email we sent to all members.
These Zoom sessions are specifically for us to help you with the Bear Complex in WOD 2A. Be warmed up prior to joining the Zoom class. We’ll help you get things fine-tuned prior to doing the WOD. See you at these times!

20 Side-to-side Shuttle Runs 12′ *

* Back and forth (12′ + 12′) = 1 rep. Note these are side-to-side versus forward facing.

KB in lieu of DB is Rx or Rx+ also. If you don’t have any equipment or are scaling, then use any odd object that works for thrusters. Examples: Milk jug, back pack, bag of potatoes, etc. If weight is Rx or Rx+, then you are Rx or Rx+ regardless of what object is.

Stick jumps or stick jump substitute is Rx. See video.

Strength / Skillwork for Monday/Tuesday

If you have the capability, then do some back squats after WOD 2A and pull-ups / wtd. pull-ups after WOD 2B.

• Weighted Pull-ups (5-5-5-5-5)

10 Rounds for time:

• 6 [10] Push-ups
• 6 [10] Burpees

EMOM 10:00
For each minute:
:30s of Wall-sit [w/30/20#*]
For remainder of each minute do
Goblet Squats 30/20#* [Pistols]

* Use anything that weighs 30/20#. Bear hug it. Don’t let it rest on legs or knees during wall-sit.
There is no rest period in this WOD. You are constantly going from wall-sit to squats and back to wall-sit. If you fail to hold the wall-sit for the 30s, then you aren’t allowed to do any squats for the remainder of that minute. You’ll rest instead and try again next minute.
Score is Goblet Squats completed for Rx and Pistols for Rx+.
