Team Profile: Iain Couling Olympic Lifting Coach. Tuesday & Thursdays at 8pm




Here is a little more about me; Iain your Olympic Lifting Coach:
I have played rugby for over 15 years, playing for Chelmsford RFC 1st team. Due to a number of injuries I started to use CrossFit to help me get my fitness back and to be back in the 1st team. Through CrossFit I found Olympic Lifting; not only a new challenge but also a new passion. Over the past 15 months I have totally immersed myself into the world of Olympic Lifiting, receiving coaching and also taking my skills to a competitive level.

I want to share the existing knowledge that I have and to continue to learn and develop myself and others. The benefits, both physical and mental of Olympic Lifting are something that I want to share with everyone. - don't knock it until you have tried it!

WOD - Saturday 8th June


Strength/Skill:
"Goats"

The “goat” in your training is that thing you really suck at and normally hate to do!

Very simply put, it’s the movement that makes you grimace every time you see it on the board.

EVERYONE has a goat. (at last one; some of us have a heard)!
 
The is your chance to find it and work on it; pick up the skills you need to improve this - make this "goat" your focus for the rest o the month and NAIL it!

5 x Get Up
6  Over Box Burpee

2 exercises per complex

Complex 1:
Wall Ball & Box Jump

Complex 2:
Double Unders & Ring Dips

Complex 3:
Russian Twist & GTOH

Complex 4:

Your Mission:
You have FOUR minutes to achieve 100 reps of EACH of both exercises. If you achieve this goal you have the remainder of the 4 minutes to rest!
 
If you fail to complete the total reps in the 4 minutes; the WOD is over for you... its knockout ....
