Overview of our programming this week

We are on the second week of the second part of this strength cycle which focuses on the in-between lifts of Olympic lifting. We want to develop a proper setup during the descent and transition to overhead movements during these six weeks. You will work up to heavy sets and hit singles within specific percentage ranges. The overhead lifts and squatting volume will be higher than usual, so please, scale to Power or take the weight down if you are a beginner or need a break. Remember, days labeled “Work up to a Heavy” mean we want to see you reach a top weight (within limitations while always training smart) in 5-6 working sets.

Strength/skill-work for this week:

Monday – None
Tuesday – Front Squat + Push-press + Push-Jerk
Wednesday – Snatch D/L + Power Snatch
Thursday – Pull-ups
Friday – Thruster
Saturday – Mini-pump Shoulder/Glutes (extra time)

Monday, we are taking a lighter approach to start the week. Instead of a hard hitter, we have a nice little multiple-set gymnastics piece with shuttle runs, GDH sit-ups, D/Us, and push-ups. We have a lighter, higher-rep version of “DT” for Tuesday that will light the forearms up. Wednesday is another fun spin on “Jackie,” where athletes will be forced to attack the row and see if they can hold on through the wall balls to get to the burpee pull-ups. For Thursday, we have another multiple-set gymnastic piece of T2Bs and box jump-overs with KBS thrown in. The goal is staying aggressive and having repeatable performances. Then on Friday, we will be doing our annual Naughty or Nice Workout. Saturday is a partner AMRAP that’ll have you doing laps around FTX with farmer carries and lunges while also throwing in a bit of rowing. Enjoy!

FTX Classes – We have the most extensive group class-based schedule of any facility in the area. See our schedule here.

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

You’ll aim to push the pace, recover, and hold on for a grueling 4 sets. We have a quick, nasty, heavy clean and high box jump for Tuesday with an “Open Workout” type feel. Wednesday is an ascending ladder WOD with thrusters and shuttle runs. It’s going to be a good one. On Thursday we kick off 12 Days of Christmas with the 1^st of our FTX variants. And on Friday we bring back the dreaded 12.1 Open Workout, which is a 7:00 Amrap of burpees! Everyone may ask why, and it’s simple: This workout is a great test for athletes with different skill sets. Put your head down and see if you can beat your old score. On Saturday we have a descending ladder partner WOD with the ski or row erg, HSPUs and bench press. Let’s kick off this final month of 2022 with some great work!

Overview of our programming this week

We finished the first part of our current strength cycle. This week is an off week. Enjoy the break from our strength programming. Next week we continue with part II of this strength cycle which will focus on the in-between lifts of Olympic lifting. We want to develop a proper setup during the descent and transition to overhead movements during these next six weeks. You will work up to heavy sets and hit singles within specific percentage ranges. The overhead lifts and squatting volume will be higher than usual, so please, scale to Power, or take the weight down if you’re new or anyone who may need a break. Remember, days labeled “Work up to a Heavy” mean we want to see you reach a top weight (within your limitations/be smart!) in 5-6 working sets.

Strength/skill-work for this week:

Monday – GHD practice
Tuesday – None
Wednesday – Rope Climb Practice
Thursday – None
Friday – Deadlift Hold
Saturday – Mini-pump Arms/Core (extra time)

We adopted Mayhem programming for a variety of reasons. First, they followed a lot of the principles FTX has done for years and were therefore a good match to what we’ve been known for. Second, they have greater resources to plan and test their workouts and strength cycles. Third, they can incorporate feedback from a much greater audience. But we never wanted to rigidly follow their programming so as to lose some of the unique things we like to and are able to do at FTX. For example, we have an obstacle course, we have more equipment than most gyms, and we have created some unique and fun workouts over the years. Mayhem has to program for hundreds of gyms, which limits what they can do. So, you will see us deviate from their programming as appropriate to incorporate that extra FTX touch. You saw this for our Veteran’s Day workout, which is very unique to FTX. And you’ll see some of that this week as it is an off week from Mayhem’s strength cycle and as it is a Holiday week.

This week we start with a double hit of bodyweight leg work and DB snatches. On Tuesday we bring you an FTX full-body classic that hits you with all sorts of exercises – Mama wants a new kitchen sink. Wednesday is a fun workout for time that involves moving around various stations of body weight and cardio movements. For Thanksgiving Day we’ll do our annual classic FTX Turkey Fight Gone Bad WOD. For Black Friday we’ll do Mayhem’s nasty couplet of cardio and HSPUs. We finish of this Turkey week on Saturday with a partner chipper to burn some serious calories with the echo bike, front squats and of course burpees. We pray you all have a wonderful week being thankful and celebrating with friends and family.

Strength/skill-work for this week:

Monday – None
Tuesday – Clean & Jerk
Wednesday – Front Rack BB Step-ups

Wednesday switches to an ascending ladder of the bike, kettlebell swings and push-ups. Partner up on Thursday for some farmer carries and toes-to-bar. Friday is a barbell chipper going from deadlifts to thrusters and everything in between. We finish the week with some interval training of double-unders and DB burpee deadlifts.

For Tuesday, we got a light posterior chain wrecker that will shock the lower body with slow twitch deadlifts and fast twitch box jump overs. Wednesday’s WOD combines rowing, push presses, T2B and an agility drill for a 5-round challenge. Thursday is supposed to be a lights-out work out where we want a solid 1x push for the day on a power clean and burpee couplet. Friday is a solid partner workout where strategy, transitions, turnover, and maintaining a non-stop effort will be key on double-unders, wall-walks, and lunges. We finish on Saturday with a 5 rounder of HSPUs, bench press and GHDs.

Overview of our programming this week

We’re into the 7th week of this cycle of 8 weeks, which is designed to help gain strength and consistency in the Olympic lifts. The focus continues to be on the Snatch (squat), Clean (squat), and Push Jerk. We have been doing the Olympic lifting 2-days a week with two lifts performed daily. After finishing the first lifting movement, we transition right into the next with little to no time wasted. This is designed to get good quality, high-skill lifts at moderate to heavy weights and cash out with some singular movement strength building to enhance our Oly lifts. Along with 2 days of Oly strength training, we have been doing 1 day of gymnastic skill work with our primary focus on the rings (Kipping, Muscle-up transition, and Ring Dips). On days with the strength, we have focused on keeping the workouts shorter (under 15 minutes) to allow for more coaching time.
Strength/skill-work for this week:

Monday – 3 Position Snatch & OHS
Tuesday – None
Wednesday –3 Position Squat Clean & Push Jerk
Thursday – None
Friday – Ring muscle-up progression
Saturday – Shoulders & Glutes mini-pump (Extra on your own time)

September is starting to wind down, but the workouts are staying hot. Monday kicks off with a non-stop AMRAP of KBS and Box Jumps that will give you flashbacks of the Open. Then Tuesday, we keep the cardio rolling with a multiple-set rowing and burpee interval workout where pacing will be key to the start for longevity. For Wednesday, athletes will have their hands (shoulders) full with this time crunch, arm pumping WOD of push-ups, squat cleans and pull-ups where they will be fighting for rest. Then we come to Thursday, is an interval cardio WOD with a good amount of core work mixed in. On Friday it’s time to sell out and empty the tank with snatches and lunge to the finish. Saturday is a fun and challenging 3 person team WOD with one partner resting each round while one partner bikes and the other does a couple of quick gut wrenching rounds of double-unders and DB cleans and front squats.

We are cruising through September, and this week we have some ringers. Monday, we kick things off with what looks to be a version of “Randy” (75 Power Snatches for time). You will be challenged with your pacing and grip endurance through this pull-intensive workout. Tuesday is a nasty 3-part AMRAP triplet with increasing time frames. For Wednesday, we have the ultimate leg pump for you. Let’s see who is willing to push through healthy pain and get the best time.(Know the difference between “good” and “bad” pain. “Good” pain tests mind and body. “Bad” pain causes damage and needs to be avoided. Talk to our coaches if you have any doubts.) Thursday’s workout is a fun, 5-set partner workout where athletes will have some new movements to try out. For TGIF, you need to be ready to push hard and fight to hold a pace until the end. And finally on Saturday, another triple whammy of rowing combined each once with HSPUs, once with Front Squats, and then once with Push Presses.

The Olympic lifting strength will be held to just 2-days a week with two lifts performed daily.

Monday kicks off with a solid bodyweight/light weightlifting workout where you can give a hard push, especially on the leg portions. Tuesday, we go into some hard sets with a little 1:1 rest and varied movements. Jump rope, burpee pull-ups and core will challenge you at a sprint pace, so partner up for added motivation. A fun little amrap on Wednesday that still gets us outside with some running and that has some rope climbs in the mix, and this one attacks your shoulders as well. Thursday will be one tough challenge for you. Let’s see who can grind through these intervals with little rest. Friday will be a chipper where it will come down to the box jump overs and who is willing to sell out on the final set of wall balls. Saturday is a partner WOD involving lots of various OLY movements and the good old Assault Bike.

Through the span of 8-weeks, we will be performing sets at a set time to allow for adequate and consistent rest. Strength will be held to just 2-days a week with two lifts performed daily. After finishing the first lifting movement, we will transition right into the next with little to no time wasted. This is designed to get good quality, high-skill lifts at moderate to heavy weights and cash out with some singular movement strength building to enhance our oly lifts. Along with 2 days of strength training, we are adding 1 day of gymnastic skill work with our primary focus on the rings (Kipping, Muscle-up transition, and Ring Dips). On days with the strength, we will focus on keeping the workouts shorter (under 15 minutes) to allow for more coaching time. Strength/skillwork for this week:

Monday – 3 Position Power Snatch and OHS
Tuesday – Pull-ups
Wednesday – 3 Position Squat Clean and Clean & Jerk
Thursday – None
Friday – False grip ring-rows
Saturday – Multiple exercises for developing shoulders and glutes

Monday, we start with “Karen,” which is just a nasty single movement WOD. Tuesday we kick off with our first CrossFit Games workout for this week, the “Shuttle to Overhead.” For this workout, we changed it up a little, but the stimulus is still the same. Wednesday is an excellent old fashion open-style workout where the plan is simple, hang on and move. We have a fun partner burner on some ergs and bodyweight movements on Thursday. Then Friday comes, and we hit it with a bang! “Jackie Pro!” is probably one of this year’s best CrossFit Games WODs. This is a tough one, so ensure you are ready to push it. And we finish the week on Saturday with a special FTX version of “The Capital” CrossFit Games workout.

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.

Overview of our programming this week

We started this cycle last week and it is designed to help gain strength and consistency in the Olympic lifts. We will work on Snatch (squat), Clean (squat), and Push Jerk. Through the span of 8-weeks, we will be performing sets at a set time to allow for adequate and consistent rest. Strength will be held to just 2-days a week with two lifts performed daily. After finishing the first lifting movement, we will transition right into the next with little to no time wasted. This is designed to get good quality, high-skill lifts at moderate to heavy weights and cash out with some singular movement strength building to enhance our oly lifts. Along with 2 days of strength training, we are adding 1 day of gymnastic skill work with our primary focus on the rings (Kipping, Muscle-up transition, and Ring Dips). On days with the strength, we will focus on keeping the workouts shorter (under 15 minutes) to allow for more coaching time. Strength/skillwork for this week:

Monday – Snatch + OHS Combo and Panda Pulls
Tuesday – None
Wednesday – Power Cleans + Push-Jerk Combo and Front Squats
Thursday – Ring Dips
Friday – None
Saturday – Multiple exercises for developing the back muscles

Monday, we start with some “odd object” squats paired with high rep double-unders; this will be a leg burner. Tuesday is someone’s B-Day WOD that likes the number “23”. On Wednesday, it will be just a “move” type day where the feel will trend towards an open-style workout with pull-ups, GHDs and Box Jump Overs. Thursday is another B-Day WOD – the “Olander”. Then on Friday, we’ll do a gut-wrenching hero workout, Holleyman, where we will be forced to put our heads down and move. Saturday consists of a double 10:00 AMRAP of shuttle runs, strict press, T2B, and DB Step-ups.

No Kids’ Class on Wednesday, 8/17

Overview of our programming this week

A new strength cycle begins this week, so the days with lifting will have shorter Metcons. Our cycle will have strength mixed with gymnastics movements. For the gymnastic skill, we will focus on muscle-ups and all the movements between (kip swing, transition, ring dip, press to hold). The gymnastics sessions will be performed after the workout and will have scaling options for all skill levels.

Monday – Snatch
Tuesday – GHD Hip Extension or Barbell Skull Crushers
Wednesday – Clean & Jerk
Thursday – Ring support
Friday – Lying DB Pullover or Elevated Toe Double Romanian Deadlift
Saturday – Multiple exercises for developing shoulders and glutes

For our workouts this week, on Monday, we start with a solid 10-round workout where athletes will try and keep consistent round times. Tuesday, we have a nasty combo, Bike and burpees. So, why not make it multiple sets to see if you can hold on? For Wednesday, we have a nasty little chipper with some heavier wall balls. A long, monostructural hero workout on Thursday will test your grit and grind. Friday, we end the week with some barbell cycling, double-unders, and sit-ups, where our grip strength will be tested.

Saturday, August 13^th
8am and 9am classes only. Meet at Northside Park by the playground.

Overview of our programming this week

Our next strength program will start next week on Monday, August 15^th. This week is a bit unusual in that every day is a long hard work out, except Saturday where we will do pull-ups for strength/skill-work followed by a medium length WOD at Northside Park. We recommend picking 3 maximum. On the other days do some accessory work, SMR, stretching or just taking a full rest day. Remember that you are allowed to do Open Gym during any of our open hours. On a day where you won’t do the WOD, come in and warm-up with the class, then go do the accessory work, SMR, stretching, etc. Just be respectful of giving the class priority to space and equipment. That’s also a good time to hang-out with a friend while doing one of these things in a more casual way than you could with our classes where things are more go, go, go!

Monday – Daniel Hero WOD
Tuesday – 5 Rounds of Rowing, GHDs and Burpees
Wednesday – 5 nasty rounds of Bike – Snatch – Bike!
Thursday – Partner WOD consisting of D/Us and a DB version of the Hero WOD DT.
Friday – A 21-minute EMOM WOD alternating between 3 movements: Wall Balls, HSPUs and V-Ups.
Saturday – A running WOD at Northside Park. Meet at the playground.

FTX Classes – We have the most extensive group class-based schedule of any facility in the area. See our schedule here.

Overview of our programming this week

The strength program for this week involves Squats, Deadlifts, Bench Press, and some weighted accessory movements. This is the last week of this short interim cycle we’ve been on. We’ll be switching to a new strength cycle in August.

Monday – Back Squat or Goblet Squat
Tuesday – Bench Press & Box Jumps
Wednesday – Single-arm DB Row & Tricep Extensions
Thursday – Deadlifts & HSPUs
Friday – Shoulder Press

This week is our Friends and Family week! We’ve set aside Monday, Wednesday and Friday as days that you can invite your friends and family to come to FTX for a free class. They can use this link here to sign-up. And invite your friend and family to join us at our party this Saturday! What better movements to introduce your family and friends to CrossFit with than Thrusters, pull-ups and Burpees! Don’t worry, as usual, we will have a variety of difficulty levels and scaling options, so we hope you all enjoy this nasty little triplet. Tuesday will have you alternating between push-presses and lunges. Wednesday is a partner WOD of rowing and snatches. Thursday will have you doing 5 rounds/sets with rest in between, which you’ll need given the bike, core work and nasty farmer’s carry. Friday is another WOD with 5 rounds consisting of rope climbs, wall-walks and push-ups for a great upper-body burn. Saturday keeps the 5 round them going with S2Os, deadlifts and box jumps.

FireTeam 7
Saturday, August 13^th

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).

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 Rates

As of 7/1/22 our membership rate and 10-packs will go from $175 to $185. Discount %s will remain the same for all current customers. The new rates are effective immediately for new incoming members and all future purchases of 10-packs.
Raising rates is not something we want to do. As any business must do given the current economic reality, we have to account for the unprecedented level of inflation. These economic factors are not our doing, and we cannot ignore them. To be the best FTX possible, to maintain our facilities, retain the best coaches, and adequately cover expenses, we need to increase our rates accordingly. We are by no means in a unique position as all businesses are currently having to adjust their pricing.
On the other hand, remember that if you’ve been a member at FTX for 6 months or more and you become unemployed, your membership is free for up to 6 months or until you regain employment. Also, if you are or you know of a member experiencing economic hardship, let us know so that we can come together as a community and help.

We hope everyone had a chance to do Murph over the weekend and that you’ve had a chance to recover. On Monday we are closed, but we’ve posted two running options for you to do at home or at a park.

Murph – This Memorial Day Weekend

On Saturday we will be running the Murph workout during each of our regularly scheduled classes: 8am, 9am, 10am and 11am.

We are doing another 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.

Thursday – Back Squat
Friday – Push Press

We start off this week hard with a Hero WOD for firefighter Kenneth Kumpel. Tuesday the Benchmark Cindy with 200m runs thrown in every round. Wednesday is a couplet of deadlifts and box jumps, which is always a nasty combination as deadlifts employ slow twitch muscles and box jumps require you to switch to fast twitch. Thursday is a nice triplet with step-ups, HSPUs, and broad jumps. Friday is a triple AMRAP of power cleans and renegade rows. And Saturday is of course Murph!

Overview of our programming this week

This week we start a new strength cycle. During the first half of the week, we will do short sets with little rest of front squats, deadlifts and bench press using bands. This will give us a very different stimulus where the resistance increases towards the top of the lift. Furthermore, the bands will also further stress our balancing and opposing muscles involved in each of these lifts. During the second half of the week, you will see back squats, presses, and deadlifts where you work up to your 1RM. This cycle will provide a comprehensive, multi-prong approach to gains!

Monday – Banded Front Squats and Deadlifts
Tuesday – Banded Bench Press
Wednesday – Cleans
Thursday – Back Squat
Friday –Shoulder Press

Monday’s WOD will work the legs and core with lunges and V-ups. Tuesday is a 20:00 AMRAP triplet of snatches, burpee box jump-overs and running. Wednesday is an ascending and descending ladder of S2O and pull-ups. Thursday is a fast triplet of Scotty Bobs, Jumping Jacks and Flutter Kicks. Friday will be a no measure day focusing on shoulder and core work. Saturday is the HYROX Physical Fitness Test. Enjoy this week!
