High schoolers will be introduced to all the essential CrossFit lifts: Squatting movements, presses, pulling lifts, body-weight gymnastics, and the Olympic lifts.

FireTeam 7
Saturday, August 13th

In the military the smallest unit is the fire team – a 4 person unit. On occasion, such as with a sniper pair or swim pair, special forces units will even deploy in pairs. But in either case, always operating as part of a greater effort. FTX stands for Final Training eXercise, which in the military are field tests to see if a unit is ready for deployment or Mission Ready. In that spirit, FTX CrossFit is holding its 7th Annual FireTeam Competition and Fundraiser on Saturday, August 13th for 4 person FireTeams (MMFF). Come together as a community for a greater cause to help soldiers and their families that have suffered injuries or other hardship serving our country and see if your FireTeam is Mission Ready. Part of the proceeds will go to the SEAL Legacy Foundation. More details and registration information to come. For now, mark your calendars!

Overview of our programming this week

On to week 3 of our second 3 week cycle of the banded work followed later in the week by heavier lifts. If you did the first 3 week cycle with us, then you should be calculating everything off of a theoretical 1RM that +5-10 lbs. heavier than what you were working with on the last cycle. After this cycle we will have an off-week and then we will repeat this program for a final 3 week cycle. Thursday is a 5 round FGB style WOD with Bodybuilders, sit-ups/v-ups and KB SDHPs. Friday is a triple-AMRAP with push-presses, thrusters and rope jumping. On Saturday we hit our obstacle course for the first time this summer season.

Monday – Banded Bench Press
Tuesday – Banded Front Squats & Deadlifts
Wednesday – Push Press
Thursday – Snatch
Friday – Deadlift

Monday’s WOD is a combination of a for time and an AMRAP WOD involving rowing and Turkish Get-ups. It’ll be a great workout. Tuesday will hit you with a 9-minute AMRAP of C&J, Ab-wheel rollouts, and ring rows. Wednesday is a 5 round couplet of KBS and jumping.

FTX Classes – We have the most extensive group class based schedule of any facility in the area. See our schedule here – https://ftxcrossfit.com/schedule/.

FTX Kids’ Classes – We have classes for 8-13 year-olds Tuesday through Friday at 4:30pm.
