After taking a week off we are finally back for another edition of the All Aboard! This article gives you some insight into the week ahead at our gym and other things going on.Thank you for taking the time to read! If you are not a member, reach out to us! We would love to hear from you and show you why we are the best gym around!
This week is the last week for the Open workouts. They will be hosted Saturday at 7am and 10am. Show up and cheer everyone on as they go hard! The open is a lot of fun and pushes yourself and others to the limits and you can truly see the progress you have made.
There is a intermediate/scaled competition at CrossFit Firepit in GSO in April. Same sex teams of three. We are sending 4 people to represent. Even if you don't want to compete, we would love to have a HUGE cheering section!
Things are in the works for a big MURPH event this year. Plan to be here and get in on the action!

Workouts
Our theme this week is Lord of the Rings
#### **Monday:** **Rowing & Strength Work**
- **Workout:** 5 sets of 500m/450m rowing with 1-minute rest, followed by two strength sets of deadlifts and strict handstand push-ups.
- **Strategy:** Maintain a consistent rowing pace to stay under the 2-minute cap while keeping energy reserves for strength work. For deadlifts, use controlled reps and avoid burning out early. Scale handstand push-ups if needed (pike push-ups or seated dumbbell presses).
- **Tip:** Focus on bracing your core for deadlifts and efficient breathing during the row.
#### **Tuesday:** **Grip & Engine Burner**
- **Workout:** 3 sets of toes-to-bar and burpee box jump overs with a 1:1 rest.
- **Strategy:** Break toes-to-bar early (e.g., 5-5 or 6-4) to avoid grip fatigue. Pace the burpee box jumps—stay smooth rather than sprinting.
- **Tip:** Use a controlled kip for toes-to-bar and step down from the box to conserve energy.
#### **Wednesday:** **EMOM Conditioning**
- **Workout:** Three 6-minute EMOM blocks with wall balls, bike/row/run, double unders, and dumbbell snatches.
- **Strategy:** Aim to finish each movement in 30 seconds to allow for a brief recovery. Scale reps if necessary to maintain intensity.
- **Tip:** Keep breathing steady and controlled, especially in transitions. Use efficient movement mechanics to stay consistent.
#### **Thursday:** **Zone 2 Recovery & Handstand Practice**
- **Workout:** 5-minute steady-state row with handstand walk practice every 5 minutes.
- **Strategy:** Stay in an easy, conversational pace on the rower (around 60-70% effort). For handstand practice, focus on controlled movement rather than speed.
- **Tip:** Engage shoulders and keep hips stacked for better balance in the handstand.
#### **Friday:** **Leg & Core Endurance Challenge**
- **Workout:** A descending ladder of running, dumbbell squats, and toes-to-bar.
- **Strategy:** Pace the runs to recover for the squats. Break up toes-to-bar early (sets of 5-10). Squats should be unbroken or minimal breaks.
- **Tip:** Keep an upright torso during squats and breathe steadily during the runs. Smooth transitions will save time.
We cannot wait to see everyone in the gym!
