Overview of our programming this week

Hopefully you all have enjoyed and benefitted from our weeks of super-setting various strength and skill movements. For this next week only about ½ the days have strength/skillwork. Our focus this week is on some longer workouts and core. We’re going to ensure all you FTXers have abs of steel!

Tuesday – Snatch
Wednesday – Front Squat
Friday – Clean

We start Monday with a classic Benchmark – Angie. We have 3 options for you on this workout to best ensure the right stimulus for your training. Tuesday’s WOD will ensure your glutes are not neglected this week. Enjoy those lunges! Wednesday is another classic Benchmark – Elizabeth. It’s a shorter WOD which will give us plenty of time to do those front squats, which in combination with Tuesday’s WOD will ensure we get the quads and glutes into hypertrophy beast mode. On Thursday, one part will hit the core hard, and the other part involves a lot of the Assault Bike. Do we need to say more? For Friday think “Rowing Fran”. Saturday is a longer 30-minute full-body workout.

Our strength/skillwork this week consists of a series of supersets:

New Year’s Day – Closed

Overview of our programming this week

We have another slightly shortened workout week with New Year’s. Let’s start by talking about the end of the week, which consist of our traditional year-end WODs: The Seven, Brehm and the CrossFit Open 12.1 WOD. The latter is for New Year’s Day at home.

Our Strength/Skill for Monday through Wednesday is Shoulders/Push Press, DB Lunges and Rows + Curls respectively.

Monday and Wednesday’s WODs are shorter triplets with lighter weights. These are both designed for people to go all out as far as speed goes given their aerobic capacity. Tuesday is a descending ladder of hang snatches and burpees with an EMOM interruption of squats.

FTX Holiday Teen Classes
We are working on be offering a special kids’ session for our early teen age group (ages 13-15) over the Christmas break. There wasn’t enough demand to do it for the week of Thanksgiving.

Teens will review the 9 foundational movements and more, including gymnastics movements and Olympic lifts, in preparation to joining the adult CrossFit classes. These classes will be held outside of our regular kids’ classes and will be geared specifically to this age group.

Please let us know if you are interested in the program by December 1^st so we can finalize times and dates. We need to hear from you if you are interested to be able to make this happen.

Overview of our programming this week
We hope everyone enjoyed last week’s WODs with their friends and family. It was great to see so many new faces at FTX. This week’s strength program is pretty varied as per CrossFit’s principle of “constantly varied”, but they complement well what we’ve been working on over the past few weeks. The workouts are a bit on the longer side this week and also involve more movements than usual. We will definitely be hitting all the muscles in the body in various way via chippers, AMRAPs, interval training and more.

Monday = Squat Cleans & Front Squats / Tuesday = Bent Over Rows / Thursday = Snatch / Friday = Bench Press

Overview of our programming this week

Some of the strength this week will be done before the workout, but others after the workout. This gives a very different stimulus on the lifts and adheres to the CrossFit principle of “constantly varied” to ensure the body doesn’t get a chance to adapt to a particular format. This prevents plateauing.

Monday = Back Squat / Tuesday = TGU / Wednesday = Power Clean / Thursday = Deadlift

This week we are revisiting some benchmarks, Hero WODs and past FTX WODs. It’ll be great to see how everyone is progressing. This week will be challenging.

Overview of our programming this week

Our current strength cycle mixes powerlifting with Olympic lifting. On the power lifting side, we are constantly varying the sets and reps to give you exposure to a variety of stimulus. We’re not doing a progression right now as when we do a 5-3-1 cycle, but instead hit you from different angles and in different ways to continue to spur muscle hypertrophy and avoiding plateaus. On the Olympic lifting side, we are working with the full movements on some days, and components thereof on other days.

Monday = Back Squat / Tuesday = Snatch / Wednesday = Ft. Squat / Thursday = Split Jerk / Friday = Deadlift

We start the week with shorter WODs. Combined with the heaver lifting on those days, you’ll get a good balance those hours between Metcon and Strength building. The workouts are longer in the second half of the week. Monday and Thursday are lower skill workouts. Tuesday and Friday involve higher skill movements, and Wednesday and Saturday involve more gymnastics/bodyweight movements.

Medium length WODs are on the menu for this week, except next Saturday will be a longer one. If you haven’t learned how to climb the rope yet and can do at least 1 strict pull-up, consider scheduling a 30 minute PT session with our trainers. We guarantee you’ll get it after that.

Overview of our programming this week

It’s back to school time. This means schedule changes for many families, and the corresponding annual transition from summer mode to school mode. FTX has an extensive class schedule from 5:30am – 8:30pm weekdays (7:30pm on Fridays) so that you always have plenty of options for getting in your workout. And, we say “good-bye” to our college students. See you during your breaks. We pray for all to have a great school year, to learn a lot, foster great relationships, and grow as individuals.

Our strength program will be doing the 5-3-1+ rep scheme this week. If you haven’t been lifting regularly with us, then we recommend warming up and doing 3-4 sets of 5 reps each going a little heavier each set until you get to a challenging set of 5. During our 4 strength days you will see shorter workouts with medium weight and fewer movements. On the other 2 days, one will be a longer workout by throwing a combo of shorter WODs at you while the other one will be a Hero WOD. You’ll get a good mix of exercises.

Overview of our programming this week

Your core will get worked this week. Here come the six packs! And combined with some longer WODs, and of course strength training, serious energy will be burned.
This week we are doing 3-3-3+ in our on-going 5-3-1 strength program. Take a look at what you did 4 weeks ago and adjust accordingly. If last time your 3+ set was:

• 1-2 reps -> then stay at the same weight again.
• 3-4 reps -> increase weight by a few pounds.
• 5-7 reps -> increase weight by a bit more.
• 8+ reps-> your 1RM is way higher than you estimated last time, talk to a trainer to figure out what you should be lifting on all your sets.

We are back on this week with our 5-3-1 strength program. This week we are back to 5-5-5+ on Tuesday through Friday hitting bench press, deadlift, shoulder press and back squat respectively. We start of the week with a double-header of classic benchmark WODs – Helen and Jackie. This week’s WODs are lighter and focus quite a bit on bodyweight movements that require core strength, range of motion and balance. We finish the week with our O’ Course. Over the last few weeks, we’ve been working to freshen and clean up all of our landscaping, and this included the obstacle area. We think you’ll enjoy the result next Saturday when we run our Obstacle Course.

Next week we are starting a new strength cycle. We are going back to doing the 5-3-1 strength program we have effectively done on numerous occasions in the past. For this week we have planned longer workouts and some Olympic lifting. Get your endurance game on!

Summer is here!

With summer comes the hotter weather. Enjoy! This means we will also run more and do some more things in the parking lot. Given all this, we do want to remind everyone that we strive to be a very family friendly gym.

More than a workout – Change your life!™

Overview of our programming this week

This week we are testing our maxes on all the lifts. Let’s see how everyone has progressed over the last strength cycle. Remember that form and range of motion trump speed and weight. Don’t go for a max lift if you haven’t been lifting regularly for the past 6 weeks.
This week the WODs offer a wide variety of movements and formats, but none of them involve really heavy movements since we are hitting it hard and heavy on the lifts.

Summer is here!

With summer comes the hotter weather. Enjoy! This means we will also run more and do some more things in the parking lot. Given all this, we do want to remind everyone that we strive to be a very family friendly gym. As such, we ask everyone to keep shirts on and wear clothing that covers the full torso, including the midriff. Please use good judgment on overly tight clothing. We’re not trying to be sticklers here, but at the same time want to protect our family friendly and inclusive atmosphere. And besides, we have A/C!

More than a workout – Change your life!™

Overview of our programming this week

We have ended our current strength cycle and will be starting another one next week. As such, we will be focusing on some Olympic lifting and gymnastics this week during our strength and skill-work time. The workouts this week are of varying lengths and formats but do focus quite a bit on working your back and leg muscles. You’ll see a lot of pulling and squatting movements.

FireTeam 6 Challenge & Fundraiser

More than a workout – Change your life!™

Overview of our programming this week

Our workouts this week feature several chippers. Chippers are workouts for time where you work your way through multiple exercises and their corresponding reps. Chippers allow for a lot of variety. They are also psychologically satisfying as you get to chip away at the exercises and check them off. This makes this type of workout seem to go by faster in some respects. We finish off this week with our O’Course, which is actually a chipper as this one is programmed. Our O’Course is something unique as very few gyms anywhere in the world offer an obstacle course.
