CrossFit Legs & Abs Work for Thursday Workout

By Kill Fat Me | January 6, 2011 |

Photo of Woman Doing Stiff Legged Deadlift We really worked the legs and abs today in CrossFit. The strength training was the Front Squat and the conditioning was a combination of Squat Cleans, Stiff Legged Dead Lifts (SLDL), and Knees-to-Elbows (K2E). I’m really happy with my ab strength progress (been practicing every week), since I was able to knock out 15 K2E with proper form very quickly today. Practice, practice, practice to overcome exercises that challenge you!

Warmup:

Stretches
A few pull-ups
A few K2E
Practiced the movements for the Squat Clean exercise

Conditioning:

5 rounds for time of the following:

5 Squat Cleans (see video on this blog post)
10 Stiff Legged Dead Lift (see the video below)
15 K2E (see the video below)
Repeat

Strength:

5.3.1 Bench Press today was week 3 of the cycle, so it was max weight.

Cool Down & Recovery

Light stretching
Inversion table for a few minutes to stretch out my back.
Finished up with a protein drink
