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.

AMRAP, Memorial Day: Normal schedule.

AMRAP Wods, they suck for everyone. In fact the stronger a person is the more he/she is punished in the AMRAP.

As many reps as possible in 20 min, that is the WOD.

The last 2-3 minutes is what separates somebody who is striving to be their best and someone who is just completing the workout. These last few minutes are not to just coast it out and finish one more round and then quit. These last few minutes are there to challenge you. 1 round you for sure have, how much more can you get in before the buzzer rings, another round, 3, maybe, just keep going hard till the end. Those who go hard all the way to the end no matter if they are half way through a round or not will be rewarded with a sense of accomplishment much greater than the person who quit at the end of a round with 25sec left and decided: “thats enough.” Do not let your self fall short. It is 20 min not 19:30, complete it.

Warm UP:

6 min double under practice

4 rounds with rest (as needed) in between rounds (increase weight every set)
