Two is better than one when it comes to pulling 4 tons!

Whether you are training for a marathon, for the upcoming rugby season, or soccer season, crossfitting at CrossFit Balance will provide sport specific tools in training.  CrossFit prescription is “constantly varied, high intensity, functional movement.” 

Cheers to “Chicken” and Ben for pulling the 4 Ton Vehicle on Monday!  As rugby players, they will benefit largely from car pulls and tire flips!  As for trainees at CrossFit Balance working to increase their general level of fitness- tire flips/car pulls are both functional movements and fun ways to train!

WOD for Wednesday:  

Deadlifts

3-3-3-3

3 rounds:

Tire flips (45 seconds)

15 second rest

Push-ups (45 seconds)

Tire flipping also involves strength, flexibility, power, speed, endurance (depending on number of reps).  [10 Physical Skills of CrossFit: Cardiovascular and Respiratory Endurance, Stamina, Strength, Flexibility, Power, Speed, Coordination, Agility, Balance, and Accuracy.]  Please read below link!
