  1. Erik,Not knowing too much about how you programmed your regular bench press training before CrossFit, there are a few principles which can help you achieve a bigger bench.

    First off, there isn’t an incredible amount of loaded horizontal pushing in CrossFit’s programming. You could start pushing 3-6 sets of threes, at about 75% and move up linearly by 2-4% jumps. Training frequency will be determined by everything else that is going on in your training at CF which poses some problems as it is by nature unpredictable. Listen to your body and talk to me about this.

    Also, special exercises have worked very well for a lot of people who needed to improve their benching numbers. Additional Tricep work is a must. Narrow grip bench, dips and some other movements that would be classified as non-functional by CF standards may also help.Finally, since the lats do a lot of the eccentric portion of the bench some barbell and dumbbell rows (Bent over, no bench) would be useful as well.

    Todays Group Stretch is not to be confused with “Group Sex” which is on Mondays and Fridays.

  2. wait, what time is that on mondays and fridays? 😉

    i’m going to make today a rest day – my body is asking for one and practice is going to be tough tomorrow before our first games this weekend!

  6. felt really weak today; teaching started up and I’m just not in the groove yet.

    thanks to juliana for pushing me on the backsquats, & to jacinto for spotting. i think it was:

    only did one ugly round of the wod since i had to bolt.

    as far as the 7am class additions: that’s excellent news…i hope to take advantage!
