GYM NEWS: We’ve got a lot going on today. Today we have the 12 days of Christmas going on at 8:30 am and 10:15am for 90 minutes. This is a long workout and takes time to set up and warm up so we’ve allotted 90 minutes for the workout 🙂

Join us back at Starke around 6:30 a potluck and some time to chat and relax. No you will not be judged about what you choose to bring. This is not a test… Please email info@starkestrength to register for THE BEACH

 

It’s the most wonderful time of year, again. Time for the 12 days of Christmas AND our Starke Christmas party!

This workout is scheduled for 90 minutes because it may take that long to conquer it. You have two options to slay this workout. You can A. Try to take on the 12 Days yourself or B. You can team up with a partner and “share the load” of the workout trading off anytime you like. If you’re a newer athlete I would suggest pairing up with someone and attacking it that way. If you’re a veteran who has taken on the twelve days in the past then it’s time for you to revisit the beast…

Here are some pointers to keep in mind.

1. During warmup, coaches will be getting you to hit all the movements to make sure you’re comfortable with the loading and movements.
2. This workout is a lot of reps and not a nice one to “bring a friend from out of town” to. That is unless they do CrossFit already.
3. This is a long workout it’s 364 repetitions and you’re only at the halfway point when you Get into the middle of round 10.
4. People will mess this up but I’m going to go over it anyways and so will your coaches. The workout goes exactly like the song. On the first day of Christmas, you do one deadlift. On the second day of Christmas, you do two muscle ups and one deadlift. On the third day of Christmas, you do three heavy KBS, two muscle ups, and one deadlift. On the fourth day of Christmas, you do four front squats, three heavy KBS, two muscle ups, and one deadlift. Does that make sense?
