Weekly Breakdown 2/14/22

THE POWER OF COMMUNITY. Our coaches are incredibly passionate about our members’ progress and success, but they are powerless when our members are not present- physically and mentally. Work obligations, job changes, family commitments, and old habits often interfere with intentions and resolutions. The most important components to a successful fitness transformation are personal commitment, ease of access, and most of all, a supportive community. While our coaches and support staff do what we can to keep our members coming back, it is often the support of our community that has the most influence on our member retention. Unique to CrossFit, it is unforced and totally organic! The CrossFit community is difficult, sometimes awkward, to explain, but is truly magical as measured by the impact on people’s lives. So, if you are struggling with your fitness commitments, join a community that keeps you committed, like CrossFit Mainline!

Coach Daniel’s Workout of the Week:

  • RX:
    For Time
    500 meter Ski
    10 Toes-to-bar
    500 meter Row
    20 Chest-to-bar Pull-ups
    1,000 meter Bike

  • SCALING OPTION:
    Toe-to-bar = V-ups or Leg Lifts to parallel
    Chest-to0bar = Regular Pull-ups
    Time Cap: 10 minutes

Some advice from Daniel: “​ Smooth is fast. Go hard on the Ergs but not too hard that the gymnastics suffers. You will lose more time staring at the pull-up bar then slowing down the erg. Elites aim for sub 8 mins!”
