Finding weaknesses in your strengths

Simon is a client who I train on a personal trainer basis as well as a participant on my tuesday night classes at the Sidney Walters.

Last week my class performed a filthy fifty based workout, I noticed Simon did 40 pressups without any real effort-so I thought I would design a new challenge for him-using our Elite rings from Tyler Hass. (Tyler Hass demonstrates the archer in the second photo, http://ringtraining.com/)

10 standard ring push-ups-feet on a low box

10 ring push-ups on one leg, then the other

10 archer push-ups (one arm extends out to the side from base position, then you push back up extending the close arm. (both sides of course)

10 doubles-one arm extending out to the side, then returning followed by the opposite arm doing the same. Both sides done then pressup from this position

10 arm out to the side then arcing so the arm is extended up near the ear, then a press-up, again both sides.

Simon described this as "challenging"

This kind of workout shows the versatility of the equipment we use in Crossfit and also the amazing core strength provided by the work we do.

This is of course a workout for a more advanced client but also scalable by adjusting the length of the ring straps to make it easier for those not so advanced.

Well done Simon!
