Drew's Goodbye WOD



 
I think most of us know for sure who Drew is! He is always that lightning quick guy who passes us on the runs saying "Fix your arms! Pick up your head!!!" He is "the runner that crossfits, not the crossfitter who runs". But just ask him, he is now HOOKED on crossfit and especially on crossfit endurance whose programming had gained him back the speeds he was running at in high school! Uhm 400m in 52 secs? YEAH. Drew has been such a positive role model for everyone starting and sticking with crossfit. He has given back to us in so many ways, from hollering "Your doing great!", to going all out and coaching specific running clinics for us. Drew has some great times in his near future. Not only is he getting out of the military but he will be getting his level one crossfit certification when he gets home! Drew you will be so missed by everyone here in Atsugi. Please keep in touch and best of luck to you in everything you do!

and in his honor - Drew's first WOD at NAF Atsugi:


MILE OF FUN!

World-Class Fitness in 100 Words:
Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports.
~Greg Glassman


WOD:
(LEARN AND PLAY NEW SPORTS)
HOOVERBALL!!!!

WE NEED AT LEAST 6 PEOPLE TO PLAY!!! - PLEASE DON'T SKIP THIS WOD!

Please meet at the sand volleyball courts behind Ranger gym!  Do NOT meet at Halsey!

http://library.crossfit.com/free/pdf/06_03_Hoover_Ball.pdf

Rules:
http://www.hooverassociation.org/newsevents/hooverball/hooverball_rules.php

Once we get the hang of regular Hooverball, we will put in a crossfit twist:
Using Volleyball scoring and a 10lb or 14 lb ball, each team will get to choose a new rule for every 5 points that are earned. Games are played to 15 points total and rally scoring is used (every time the other team drops the ball a point is awarded regardless of who served)
Example of rules that could be made:
-Every time a points is scored, the other team has to do a burpee
-Every time a ball doesn't make it over the net, the other team has to do 5 pushups
- I think you get the idea

You guys are doing AWESOME on our named wods week!  Don't worry - I will slow it down a bit next week to allow you to recover! 

WOD:
"Chelsea"
Every minute, on the minute, perform 5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups, and 15 squats.
Can you continue for thirty minutes? Twenty? How about 10?

Scaling options:  You may only use a band if you have mastered the kipping banded pull-up.  No help getting into and out of the band, so keep this in mind for your set-up and if you truly want to use a band.  Otherwise please scale to jumping pull-ups.

You MUST use a wallball under you for your air squats.

If you have had to use knee push-ups for ANY wod within the last 2 months, I highly recommend scaling to knee push-ups from the beginning of this wod.
