Before I go on any further let me say that Grandview CrossFit is an outstanding gym. If you are looking for a CrossFit gym then I'd highly suggest checking out Grandview located in Columbus, OH. Im sure there are other great gyms out there but the coaches here are very good and talented. Moreover, the members that belong to the gym are friendly, helpful and just a great group of people to be around. Check it out!
Back to the WOD..... We performed the push jerk followed by double-unders. I thought it would be interesting for you to actually see a workout if you've never been to a CrossFit gym. We always start off with a warm up/ stretch then we go right into our skill or strength exercise. Today we worked on the Power Snatch 4 x 3. The coaches are great and always explain the correct form before actually doing the lifts. This is great because you get to work on your form, since proper technique is half the battle. Once we are finished with our skill or strength session we go right into the WOD (workout of the day). Again, the coaches will explain the proper way to do the WOD, give you some time to set up your weights and then its game time.....Below is a snapshot of todays workout. The RX was 165 for the guys and 110 for the girls. RX means the prescribed weight. If you can do the RX great but you can always scale down if necessary. You just have to make sure you are logging it in correctly at the end of your workout. We use a Wodify app the tracks all the lifts performed so you can track your progress. It will also rank the athletes from top to bottom of that days WOD. This is great because not only does it let you see where you stand in the class compared to the other athletes but it adds competition to the workout.
Hope this gave you some insight of what a day is like at Grandview CrossFit......
