Fight Gone Bad Update and Dinner
You can now register at the Fight Gone Bad website www.fgb5.org. The Proving Ground CrossFit should be listed as an affiliate. Please email me at tpgbr1@yahoo.com after you register so we can get you registered in a heat for Saturday the 25th. Please let me know by Wednesday, September 22 if you plan to attend. If you don't want to workout but you would like to volunteer to count reps, email me as well. We will be next to the USS Kidd from 8am-12pm (please note the time change)!
We will have our outing today at The Chimes East (Coursey) at 8pm. Please email me, tell me in person or text me @225-288-7208 if you plan to go so I know a number to give the Chimes people.
Happy Friday.

A. hang power clean 5-5-5-5-5; rest 90 seconds
B. run 800 meters X 2; rest same as work interval
Earlier this week, we performed heavy deadlifts. The purpose of the deadlift workout was two-fold. First, it develops maximum force production because of the relatively heavy loads placed on the athlete. Second, the deadlift training develops the first pull in the clean as it is a nearly identical motor pattern.
Part 'A' of the above training session concentrates on increasing the rate of force production. The athlete is taking the increased force production capacity gleaned from workouts like the heavy and consequently slower lifts and applying this force quickly. The primary motor patterns found in the hang clean session are the second and third pull of the clean.
I am becoming increasingly convinced that a consistent flow of separation and integration of the movements and modalities that make up functional training in general and CrossFit specifically yield increased fitness. Each session has at least one purpose. This is training intentionally.
