How do you track your progress? It is so important to keep a journal of the workouts you are doing, weights used and the time to complete each workout. Record keeping will make a huge difference in your training. How do you track your workouts?
Another video from Rip on the basics of the press
WOD
warm-up/skills practice
Press - find 1 rep max
Weighted pull-up - find 1 rep max
ABS- Max L-sit x 3
After a thorough warm-up find your max press. Rest for a few minutes and do the same with the pull-up. Any grip is fine for the pull-up. Ensure full range of motion on both exercise, don't cheat your self.
If you have been following the West Knox WOD since we started posting then you know we have been going for three solid weeks. This fourth week we want to accomplish two things. We want to test our strength and we want to lower the overall volume of training so we can get ready for another three weeks. So this week- lift heavy, keep the workouts brief and enjoy your down time!
Stay adequately hydrated. A simple formula from Dr. Sonja Petterson to calculate your baseline water requirement is Bodyweight (lbs) / 2 + 20% = oz/day For example, a 187 lb (85 kg) individual would have a baseline requirement of 112 oz per day. More water is needed according to daily activity. Bodyweight can be taken before and after training to measure water loss. Each pound lost represents 16 oz of water that must be replaced.
The rules are simple. You must do as many repititions of the kettlebell snatch in ten minutes as possible. Use whatever kettlebell size you like and switch hands when needed. The kettlebell is not allowed to touch the ground for the ten minutes. Final score is the sum of all snatches.
A little guidance from CrossFit on the

WOD
Warm-up/skills practice
5 Rounds for time:
15 OHS (95#/65#)
400m run
Scale back the weight on the OHS as needed. Good luck!
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.
