CrossFit Evergreen – CrossFit
“Never confuse movement with action.” – Ernest Hemingway
We’ve all had that friend who is constantly busy. Always flying a million miles an hour, but… in all directions at once. And in turn, they find themselves in the same place a year later.
We don’t want to just “move” through life, just like how we don’t want to “exercise”. We *train*. And we train, because our reps have a purpose behind them. There’s something we’re building towards that specific, defined, and real. We know which direction we are going.
Let’s take that same discipline we have with our training outside the gym walls. Are there areas of life where we feel like we may be going through the motions? How can we refine them?

– Power Snatches: Performed in unbroken sets in less than 30s.
– When athletes return from their run, they will pick up where they left off in the AMRAP.
– Let’s make the first priority to complete the power snatches in unbroken sets.
– Catch your breath on the box jump overs. Stepping down will be helpful here.
– Complete the pull-ups in 1-2 sets. This workout will get grippy so breaking once here might not be a bad idea.
– We want a solid effort on the run but not at the expense of our other movements. We can aim for a 1:45-2:00 pace on these 400’s.
