This Week at EDA 19.06.23
Welcome to a new week of training here at CrossFit EDA Glasgow.
This week we are hosting workout one of our mini comp! Now our coaches tested this one last week, and we have to say it’s challenging but surprisingly fulfilling. We know you can do it!
We’re also exploring Foam Rolling as part of our recovery month, starting with the first rule: “STOP CALLING IT FOAM ROLLING”. What we are doing is soft tissue mobilisation, and you can utilise a multitude of tools and methods to reap the benefits of this powerful recovery tool.
Here are a couple of rules to follow the next time your working with a roller:
Mobilise side-to-side instead of up-and-down, this gives you different tissue input angles and addresses a tissue region.
If you’re working on an area that is painful, go gently but keep at it, until it starts to ease off.
Try to tie your mobility practice to your daily experiences. If your back is tight at the gym, start there. If your calves are sore, start there.

This week will feature a range of your favourites from deadlifts, and handstand push-ups, to lunges and power cleans. Let’s take a closer look shall we:
Monday -
Starting the week strong with a little power clean complex, we will be working above-the-knee power cleans, below-the-knees, and a single front squat.
As always this is only part one, we wouldn’t want to shortchange you! We’ll be moving on to a sweaty AMRAP featuring 200m runs, hang power cleans, and front squats it’s gonna be a belter!
Tuesday-
Okay this is gonna be a challenging one (oh and you might hear this a lot this week!)
We are going to be rocking three workouts. The first workout is 2 rounds on a 10-minute clock, working rower cals, back rack longes, and muscle ups. Then we will continue on with two more, just a lil bit quicker!
Wednesday-
We will be practicing our handstand push up again! We know you may have been rejoicing that our gymnastics work was over but who are we to keep you from getting better and stronger?
Next, we will be hitting 100 alternative dumbbell devils presses, breaking every couple of minutes to complete some handstand push-ups and 10 box jumps.
We told you this week was all fun and no filler!
Thursday-
It’s comp day!!!
This workout is challenging our coaches will tell you that, but they did it and they know you can do it too!
We will be hitting;
100 double under,
50 wall balls,
35 toes to bar,
20 deadlifts,
75 double unders,
40 wall balls,
25 toes to bar,
15 deadlifts,
50 double unders,
30 wall balls,
15 toes to bar,
and 10 deadlifts.
Want to know the best part? This is an AMRAP. That’s right we want you to keep going until the timer runs out.
Friday-
Let’s do something a little easier, shall we? Something a little more familiar. A nice little three rounds for quality, that means the best reps you can do. You’ll be tired from the competition, and we want to give you a sweat session more focused on form. So we will be doing a 200m suitcase carry, working some curls, and doing cardio of your choice.
We’ll leave Saturday to your imagination, but again we know you’ll love it.
You don’t come to EDA for an easy workout, you come to improve and as always the way you show up and give it your all inspires us every day and we couldn’t be more proud.
Sunday we are open if you missed a session, or for the competitive among you, you can retest the competition workout and try to beat your score.
As always Everyday Athletes, we have Muay Thai running all week. You can join Coach Tommy, Coach Martin, and Coach Spencer any night of the week for all of your favourite combinations and sweat session.
If you haven’t signed up yet, you can find out more about our memberships here. Or treat yourself to a drop-in and come along and try a class.
We can’t wait to see what you achieve this week!
