****Fox News is coming at 10 am this morning to film another segment on Ultimate CrossFit. Anyone who can make it out at that time, come on out!***
Strength:
Partner up - grab a heavy band (green or bigger) put it around your partner and slow them down while they run. 25m sprints. Each partner does 2 then the other partner. Repeat for 10 of them. Rest after each partner has done two.
WOD:
10 min 1 Snatch on the minute - use 90% of 1 rep max
rest 5 mins
10 min tabata row - max meters
CrossFit Ballantyne had this article on their blog the other day and it's a question we get a lot around here. So I thought I'd throw it on here.
This is a great excerpt from an article about some of the myths that surround the fitness world.
I found this on So-Cal Strength and Conditioning
Myth #5: Women should focus on performing aerobic activities because weight training will give them a "manly" appearance.
This myth just won’t go away, mainly because of bodybuilding magazines. People associate females who strength-train with the female bodybuilders pictured in bodybuilding magazines. Professional female bodybuilders usually resemble men because of the massive amount of anabolic, androgenic drugs they consume.
However, these "females" shouldn't be confused with drug-free women who incorporate resistance training into their fitness programs. The next time that this topic comes up, remember the following facts:
1) Much of the difference in muscle mass between males and females is attributed to hormones, specifically, Testosterone. On average, men produce ten times more Testosterone than females. Unless you’re a female who's taking anabolic steroids or other male hormones, lifting weights will not make you look like a man! It’s actually harder for most females to build muscle compared to their male counterparts.
2) There's also a difference in muscle mass distribution between men and women, especially in the upper body. If you do build a significant amount of muscle, you still won't look masculine.
So, it's important to remember that male hormones and muscle mass distribution are the two main reasons that men usually carry more muscle than woman. Ladies, get in the weight room!
