Project update

tomato. NOM!

So the Chickeness graced us with a wonderful talk last night regarding the logistics of raising chickens both here at the box and in general for those who are interested in taking it off site.  We will be moving forward with this project with the goal of being up and running in the spring if not sooner.  Our maximum chicken capacity for egg layers looks to be 6 chickens.  While this will certainly not be enough to supply the whole gym with eggs, it will certainly be a great learning experience, especially if you have any inclination to try this on your own ever.  We certainly have a solid team ready to dig in to this project but more are always welcome.  If you are interested in participating and have not yet talked to us about it I encourage you to let us know!

That being said, today’s workout is pretty straightforward.  Rather than rant, I’ll just throw out the key words that probably stick out anyhow.  You know, brace up, externally rotate, screw your hands in the floor, break the bar between your hands and what else… oh!  Active shoulders!  By this point of our programming cycle these should start to sound super familiar and you (hopefully) know exactly what I’m talking about.  If not, just ask.  We’re more than happy to explain!  =)

WOD:

AMRAP 9

10 shoulder taps
100′ sandbag carry (75/60) *touch tape every 25′

* Shoulder taps should ideally be in a handstand (Rx is facing away from the wall), but scale to whatever height allows you to get the taps done unbroken.  This can be partially up a wall climb, in a plank on the ground or even with our upper body elevated, the way we would scale push ups.
