Weekend Announcements

Yesterday’s announcements contained some important and exciting info, so we wanted to re-post them for the weekend. Some cool stuff for our community!

8:00 PM Classes: Starting Feb 17th

Beginning on Monday (2/17) we will be offering an 8:00 PM class. This time slot will be offered Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday as part of an experiment to test the attendance and demand for this schedule. If you travel from afar, are a night owl, or don't feel like waking up early, perhaps this new class time is for you? 

Tara Firma Farms CSA

We are happy to announce that we’re partnering with a local Petaluma farm to be a CSA pickup location at Arena Ready. Beginning February 20th, we will be a bi-weekly delivery & pickup location for orders of fresh veggies, meats, and dairy products. Read more about their farm & products, and join the CSA using the link here:

The $20 membership fee is waived for Arena Ready members — check out our post here in the private Arena Ready Facebook group for details on having your membership fee waived.

Arena Ready Shirts

WE HAVE SHIRTS! (and hoodies, baseball tees, long sleeves, etc.)

By partnering with CrossFit-licensed clothing provider, Fully Amped, we no longer have to deal with pesky minimum order quantities or organizing everyone's size for a bulk order. They will print and ship your order, regardless of quantity — If you only want to buy one shirt, they'll print and send you one shirt.

We are starting with classic designs first as we consider getting more/others created. Find the link to our store below, as well as on our website:

Happy Hump Day, fitness friends.

Tuesday Heavy Squats: 10 Working Sets

Tuesday’s program is all about quality reps under load with 10 working sets (not including warm-up sets) — we’ll build to 3 heavy singles at approx 90% of your CURRENT ERA 1-rep max. If you don’t have a current era 1RM and/or don’t know what that should feel like, then aim for 3 singles where you have to really focus each time and work hard for that quality, heavy rep — and you’ll want AT LEAST 2-3 minutes rest between those efforts, so that you are not missing any attempts.

LET’S GO TEAM!

WOD For 02-04-20:

Back Squat:

5 @ 50%

5 @ 60%

3 @ 65%

3 @ 70%

Monday Mood

I don’t want to talk about it.

WOD For 02-03-20:

Deadlift:

5-5-5-3-3-3

Climbing to a top set (not a 3RM) in 12 minutes.

-then-

5 Cycles of 1:30 Work / 1:30 Rest For Total Deadlift Reps:

5 Ring Muscle-ups

20 Wall Balls @ 20/14 lbs to 10/9 ft

Max Reps Deadlifts @ 155/105 lbs

This deadlift loading is intentionally light, but remember that you have to get there first. If you’re running out of time to get to the barbell then scale so that you have approx 30 seconds for deadlifts in the early cycles. Here’s a hint… if your MUs and WBs are not unbroken you probably need to scale.

Alternatively, if you have much more than that you’re likely scaling too much. Be an athlete, hold yourself accountable.

Happy weekend, 49er fans!

WOD FOR 02-10-20:
