Did Femme Fatale Week leave you like this?
It's ok, take some time today to take care of yourself. Take a nap and foam roll:) A Femme Fatale is an irresistible, alluring and seductive woman who leads men into difficult situations. Don't you think that is an appropriate description of the CrossFit "Girl" workouts? They are seductive and alluring and every time we meet them we find ourselves in a difficult situation. We finish Femme Fatale Week with a workout from way, way back.
Today's Workout She debuted on the CrossFit Mainsite on Sunday, May 25, 2003. She acquired her name on Monday, September 22, 2003 after she had been programmed 4 times. She is particularly spicy because you must hold on to the bar for each set. You must do this as touch and go at floor only. Even a re-grip off the floor is a foul. No dumping. Use same load for each set. Rest as needed between sets. Good luck! Woohoooo! It's Friday! We have just one more Femme Fatale tomorrow and we all will have survived our eighth annual Femme Fatale Week. How is Femme Fatale Week gong for you? Are you having fun, hitting PRs, or have you done something Rx'd for the first time? Let us know! Share your experiences in the comments. Today we are doing a robust Femme whose volume is the same as Murph. Be smart about modifying this workout today! She first appeared on the CrossFit Mainsite on July 28, 2006. She is not a popular Femme and I decided she needed to show us how amazing she is. Have fun! It wouldn't be Friday without something related to food. Since the CrossFit Open is just 7 days away, I'm sharing the great, concise guide to eating well during The Open. You can read it below or online here. Of course, you'll want a recipe to get you all ready to crush the Open. Click on the image below for a delicious recipe for caramel mocha protein shake courtesy of Working Against Gravity. You'll want to enjoy this shake as a pre or post workout source of important calories and vital macronutrients.
