The PVC Equivalent
As you know we had 6x CrossFit Games Athlete Lucas Parker at the gym last Sunday for his Virtuosity Workshop. This workshop was a workshop for athletes, not coaches. However we did have some of our coaches attend, and what everyone takes away from a workshop is different. If you have the opportunity to attend a workshop you should seriously consider it.One of the things Lucas said during the workshop was "the PVC equivalent". What does that mean?If you're told that the workout involves Snatch, you're most likely going to go grab a PVC pipe and start warming up for the snatch. Pass throughs, figure 8's, Bergner warm up. etc. But if the workout involves box jumps, everyone goes and grabs their normal height box and starts to jump. The PVC Equivalent for a box jump, is a 45lb plate. Start your jumps there, warm up and then move to a 24/20" box. The same can be said for wall balls, if the workout calls for 20/14lb wall balls, grab a lighter wall ball to warm up.Shorter or lighter does not mean lesser! Just like you would warm up with a PVC pipe for barbell work, you should be warming up using a PVC Equivalent for all other movements!
