FREE WORKOUT!

1st CrossFit Intro class is free!

CrossFit Mean Streets is a gym operated by Competitors. We compete in the sport of fitness and are ready to do the unknown and the unknowable full time. We train our athletes in the gym the same way. We want our people capable of all tasks this world has to offer. This is a gym made for people who want to be good at everything and make no excuses about it.

World-Class Fitness in 100 Words:

■ Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds,
some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep
intake to levels that will support exercise but
not body fat.

■ Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean,
squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly,
master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups,
dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to
handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds.
Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast.

■ Five or six days per week mix these elements
in as many combinations and patterns
as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy.
Keep workouts short and intense.

■ Regularly learn and play new sports.

Beyond the Body by Louis Hayes

Today’s WOD:

Shoulder Press:
1-1-1-1-1
Push Press
3-3-3-3-3
Push Jerk
5-5-5-5-5

There is 15 sets, every one should be as close to your maximum capacity as possible. Do 5 minutes of shoulder mobility drills and then start ramping up to your work sets. The 15 sets should take you around 45 minutes to complete if doing properly (lift heavy, rest re-coop for at least 2 minutes before going again)
