Supplemental Scapular Work

On Days that we do a lot of pulling we recommend you do some supplemental scapular work post workout. The Bulletproof Shoulder routine made famous by CrossFit New England is one you are all now familiar with as we have been including it in our warmups for the last few months. This is a good routine to prep the smaller muscles in your shoulders before you start doing high loading, high speed work. There are a lot of small muscles surrounding the shoulder joint and if neglected its very easy to tweak one of them. At the end of your workout we want to strengthen those smaller muscles by fatiguing them.
Today we want you all to do 3 sets of Dumbbell External Rotations 12-15 reps each arm post workout. Keep the tempo nice and smooth, no pausing at the top or bottom and no moving any other body parts. Each coach will be reviewing it before each class.

    Classic Moment, and some nice height/hip extension on the burpee.  Ask yourself, do my burpees look that good?  Well, Donnell has had way more practice than most, so that explains why he’s mastered the move, but we could all be better.

  • Anthony DeMusis

    What is the WOD?

  • B Hurd

    Mystery WOD… I like it

  • Collin O

    It was posted earlier as “Jackie” but seems to have disappeared. Hmmm

  • Jim C

    Had a great visit with the COD crew today. I especially enjoyed partnering with Dale who destroyed Jackie (5:55) and took first on the record board I think.
    My time was 7:59 which is an 8 second PR. I have a lot more work to do on pullups so I can get that time down even more.

  • Shannan

    What’s best is Donnell’s great attitude no matter what time he rolls in!!!

    Great COD member!

    Eddie B and Lauren doing a shakeweight commercial !  

    Walked in as Dale was finishing his thrusters ( unbroken) and then ripped off at least 20 pullups…Just awesome to watch. 5:55 !!! ???

    I did 9:20 Rx today…first time doing Jackie for me….I finished the rowing in 3:45ish which is where I wanted to be but i got there the wrong way…started out way too hard and slowed way down at the end…but still started thrusters with legs of lead. Live and learn.

    Thanks for the tips beforehand Jim…too bad I didn’t head your advice….Even if I had listened I wouldn’t have gotten a sub 8 minute; awesome work today by you!

  • Karen Lubov

    12:26 with 7 pull-ups and 23 ring rows at the end. Next time I’m getting 10 pullups in and a shorter time :) Awesome working out with N Jacobs!!!

  • CraicStina

    I love both of these pictures!  LOVE LOVE LOVE!

    Congrats to Dale.  Amazing watching him get 5:55 this morning.

    I did John Jarrod Jackie: 40 cals AD, 50 FS, ring rows

    9:22 methinks.

  • Steve Mammone

    8:28 RX. Pacing the row is the key. Learned the hard way last Friday.

  • Sheehy

    5:54 rx

  • Sheehy

    Oops. I mean 7:44. My bad

  • Karyn Manning

    Love the picture!!  Donnell, the pride of COD…always a good sport. If he showed up on time every day, what fun would that be? :)

  • Eddie B

    10:42 ring rower

  • Denise

    Awesome workout! Great to be back with the 6:30am crew. Hopefully the streak will continue. 10:16 – #35, 1 PU and 29 RR.

  • Curtz

    First time meeting Jackie and she won. Ran out of gas on pull-ups, plenty of goat work to do there.
    8:46 Rx

  • Anne D

    This picture is my fave!! My first Jackie..8:51 w/ring rows. Tried to do one pullup after the thrusters, no go. I have to work on banging out the pullups like Amanda did this AM :)

  • Susie Diesel

    9:02RX – 42 second PR :)
    Great working w you Wesswomann. Nice job today!

  • Jacobs

    Great pics! Donnell, your silly! 11:40 #45 6 pullups, 24 ring rows. Improved from Sept, went up 10#, better on pull ups and still beat my time by 1:30. Thx K-Luv!

  • Shannan

    Decided not to scale the pull ups. 11:02 Rx doing Jackie for the first time. Need to work harder on my Thruster form and kipping pull ups…still happy to do Rx.

  • Ben

    This is the first workout I ever did without using the bands for pull ups.

  • Lisa d

  • Jacobs

  • Karen Lubov

    Great workout with the small 730 am class today.  7:49 Rx, felt like it could have been better, my pullups were off when I was warming up and completely fell apart during the WOD.  First time doing this one though, so now I have an idea of what to shoot for.

  • http://www.facebook.com/johnrss John McEvoy

    awesome man!

  • Downey

    13:41. Used 25# db’s for the thrusters, hand position was easier on my sore left shoulder. bb pull-ups.

  • Jayme

    9:47rx, although it was nice to pace a row rather than sprint i still really hated it…pull ups need WORK!

  • Judy l

    9:17rx

  • http://www.facebook.com/jackdaly Jack Daly

    6:19Rx… Great class!

  • LoriBro

    10:21 with ring rows. Great partnering with Susan! First time doing Jackie and feeling good about doing the 45# thrusters.

  • Leila

    Forgot to post my time to the board.  8:48 with ring rows   Awesome pics!  Nice smiles Eddie and Lauren!

  • Dan DeRoma
