Norman Woodring is a multi year CrossFit SemiFinal/Regional Competitor and a veteran in the sport. He trains with JumpShip Training and made the announcement that this will be his final year attempting to qualify for the CrossFit Games. He has turned his competitive sights towards the Hyrox Challenge and made a splash in announcing that not only will he be competing in Hyrox this year but will also be attempting and training to claim the World Record time away from the one and only Hunter McIntyre. Norm also took it a step further when he said that he will also be attempting to claim the World Record time in Murph which is also held by Hunter. He fell just short in his first attempt at Murph on Memorial Day however it was only a week after the CrossFit Games Semis in Orlando and with no dedicated training for it. He will be competing in November officially at the Hyrox Challenge in Dallas and we will be looking forward to see how this develops.

Rebecca Fuselier previously competed in the Teen Division at the CrossFit Games and make her rookie Elite debut in 2022. She became a community icon after The Capital event where the entire crowd rallied around her on the steps to cheer her to the finish. From that moment people came to find out her personality is just as big as her heart. Her Instagram is a hilarious mix of CrossFit instructional videos, dance moves and comedy sketches. She has a crafty side as well and we talk about her mismatched shoe game and bedazzled custom tops that she designed herself. As a former gymnast she’s been competing most of her life and I expect we will see more of her and her “no regrets” attitude on the competition floor.

I'm flying solo this week and giving you a holiday workout that I enjoyed. Definitely scale as needed and focus on good pacing. Do not come out to fast or you will regret it. This workout gets very grip intensive. "12 Days of Barbell Christmas"
1 Deadlift 2 Hang Power Cleans 3 Front Squats 4 Shoulder Presses 5 Back Squats 6 Push Presses 7 Thrusters 8 Squat Cleans 9 Push Jerks 10 Hang Power Snatches 11 Overhead Squats 12 Sumo Deadlift High-Pulls
Use a single barbell throughout (95#/65#)
Score is the total amount of time it takes to complete the full 364 repetitions. Like the song and the original “12 Days of Christmas” WOD complete each exercise in ascending order then work back down to 1, adding one exercise per round. Like this: 1, then 2-1, then 3-2-1, then 4-3-2-1, etc. – all the way to 12-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1.
