WOD: Fri 02.02.2018 “Lounge Fly”

WOD

“Lounge Fly”
60 Calorie Row
50 Double Unders
40 Toes to Bar
30 Deadlifts (225/155)
20 Handstand Push Ups
10 Pistols

WOD Guidance & Goal: The row is the buy-in to the workout. Do not sprint. Go at a moderate pace (Men: 1:45-:50/500m, Women: 2:00-:10/500m.) Chip away at smaller sets of toes to bar. Your grip and abs will fatigue less and you’ll take shorter breaks. Choose a weight for the deadlift where you can link 5 DURING the workout, 10 linked if you were fresh. 3 Strict handstand push ups in a row,  with no more then 2 abmats. Dumbbell seated press for scaling option. You should be finishing the workout around 15 minutes.

DAYBREAKER of the MONTH: Ashley

Meet Ashley!

You might know Ashley as one of the strongest athletes at Daybreak. Or you’ve worked out with Ashley, she tends to float around to whichever class works into her schedule that day. OR you know Ashley from her infamous laugh, which is truly contagious!

Ashley is a one of the best examples of hard work paying off. Ashley does endurance workouts 2-3x/week, practices her push-ups and pull-ups 1-2x/week and does barbell club on Thursday mornings. For the time, consistency and dedication she gives to achieving her fitness goals, she’s certainly reaped the benefits. Ashley can do 7 kipping pull-ups in a row, a 155# snatch, a 185# clean and jerk, 285# back squat and a 305# deadlift.

About Ashley

Grew up in Sherborn, MA. Live in Southie. I work for Health Care Technology, a specialty medical distribution company in Ashland, MA. My parents started the business in 1989. I’ve worked here since 2009 and I’m currently transitioning to take it over. I’m all over the place with class times.
 
1. What keeps you coming back to CrossFit each day?
The people and the coaching! Being there makes me happy!
 
2. What’s one item you carry on your person at all times (excluding a cell phone, wallet, car keys, etc)?
Ummm. Bellini mix & prosecco?
 
3. What was the best thing you did over the holidays?
Christmas with my niece!
 
4. If you could live anywhere and take everything and everyone you love with you, where would you go?
Probably Hawaii. I’ve never been but I think the weather is always nice and I want to be a laid back surfer and go on awesome hikes. And eat fish tacos.
 
5. Have you ever had an imaginary friend? If not, who would your imaginary friend be and what would his/her name be?

Yep. His name was Jake. We played 1v1 basketball and/or roller hockey for HOURS every day and built the sweetest bike jumps.

WOD

“Scar Tissue”
15-12-9-6-3
Hang Power Snatch (115/80)
Overhead Squat

WOD Guidance & Goal: When choosing your weight, the overhead squat will most likely be your limiting factor. Choose a weight where you can hit 5 consecutive overheads with good form and range of motion. Break the first two rounds of snatches and overhead squats into two or three sets (10-5 or 6-5-4 and 8-4 or 5-4-3) then try to go unbroken for the remaining sets. To get the most out of this workout you should be finishing sub 10 to 14 minutes.
