Metcon:

Thrusters (95/65)
Pull-ups

Tips & Tricks
  1. As ever, approach the workout with a plan.  How will you break up your reps?
  2. Most people find the round of 15 to be the most MENTALLY challenging.  Be prepared for this.
  3. Want to push toward the elite ranks?  One of the keys is getting through the thrusters unbroken.  Every time that bar is dropped you lose 5 seconds (and that doesn't include any extra rest).
  4. One of the easiest, but least utilized, tips is performing some Fran specific mobility prior to the workout.  
  5. Good luck and use the below times as a guide.

10:00+ Beginner
10:00-4:30 Intermediate
4:30 – 3:00 Advanced
3:00 or less Elite

CCF Barbell Club

CCF Barbell Club is being offered as a separate arm of Carousel CrossFit that will run in six week cycles.  It will allow individuals the chance to achieve their strength and lifting goals by offering semi-private barbell training and custom strength metcons.  The club is not just beneficial to those looking to get stronger and hit PR’s, but also for those trying to improve form and technique.  The club will be offered on a first come, first serve basis since the class sizes will be capped.  So please see one of the coaches to sign up.  The cost is $125.

The classes will focus on the Olympic Lifts – Snatch and Clean & Jerk.  They will be smaller than normal CrossFit classes for more individualized instruction.  Please see one of the trainers for more information.  Tentative start date will be July 1.
