G.P.P General Physical Preparedness

Luke — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 04:55:04 +0000

Many times athletes will get so caught up in the idea of trying to get stronger that they forget about everything else. They may work out every day, feel strong and think that they’re in great shape, but they can’t walk across the room without having to stop and catch their breath. This is puzzling to the athlete who has put in so many hours of training to be in “such great shape.” Many injuries happen because one variable is left out, things begin to stagnate, and soon after that the athlete gets hurt. This is where General Physical Preparedness training (GPP) often can help.

GPPtraining serves several functions: 1. The formation, strengthening or restoration of skills which play an auxiliary, facilitatory role in sports perfection. 2. As a means of educating abilities, developed insufficiently by the selected type of sport, raising the general work capacity or preserving it. 3. As active rest, assisting the restoration processes after significant, specific loading and counteracting the monotony of the training. These functions define the role of the general-preparatory exercises in the athlete’s training system. The most common way GPP is applied is through body weight exercises such as squats, mountain climbers, jumping jacks, jumping rope, box jumps, pushups and sit ups. So todays W.O.D is called the GPP.

Spring Training

Luke — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 05:27:14 +0000

The most beautiful day of the year today and what a better way to enjoy it than with friends and teamates that “Go to WAR” together in class. The game was played at Scottsdale Stadium where the San Francisco Giants played the hometown Arizona Diamondbacks. The game sold out and there was not an empty seat in the house. Thanks to everyone who came out and ROCKED the CrossFit Scottsdale gear. Here are a few pix from today’s game. Spring Training. Thanks to Mike “6″ for hooking up the Team at his bar in downtown Tempe at Whip Lounge. For those of you who went to battle this morning with “Nancy” here are some more photos.
