Daily WOD – Nov 16, 2015

Back Squat 20 rep max

Then

Bulgarian split squat 5×5 R/L (30% 1RM back squat)

WOD Notes:  The goal today is a very intense volume day of squatting.  It is worth noting that if you have a history of back issues, the 20 rep can cause problems because sometimes technique is lost as fatigue sets in.  If you have any back concerns, this workout should probably be changed to 3×8 or 4×6.

Nutrition Challenge Winners:  The results are in! We are proud of every member who completed the Fall Nutrition Challenge! We saw some great results this year, and are happy to see so many members continuing their healthy eating habits well beyond the 6 week challenge. There were several strong candidates for this year’s winners’ spots, but as promised we narrowed it down to 1 Advanced winner, 1 Beginner winner (at ICA less than 1 year), and 1 spirit award. Each individual wins bragging rights and a $50 gift card to Kimberton Whole Foods!

  • Beginner: Allen P – Allen put forth great effort for the 6 week period, and his results showed! Allen improved in every aspect of the performance test – adding 4 burpees, 6 squats, an additional pull-up, and shaving 22 seconds off his 800m run. He also reported significant weight loss and positive changes in body composition.
  • Advanced:  Mel Z – Every long time CrossFitter knows that performance gains are harder to come by the longer you’ve done the sport. Mel is one of our longest standing members, having joined ICA in late 2012. Yet Mel crushed this year’s nutrition challenge, saw improvement in every aspect of the performance test, and set PRs throughout the 6 week period. Way to go Mel!
  • Spirit: Joe W – Joe embodied the spirit of what the nutrition challenge is all about – setting personal goals and then meeting (or exceeding) them! Joe’s goal for the 6 week challenge was to gain mass and strength. He followed his flexible dieting plan and saw HUGE improvements in strength – even setting a new gym record in the bench press. Although our performance test didn’t capture his amazing transformation, there is no doubt he deserves a shout out for his hard work!

Congratulations to the winners; well done all around!
