Rarely has one lift been so maligned, except for perhaps the squat, even though it’s so good. Heck, it’s even useful! Sheesh, it’s even MANDATORY TO REGULAR LIFE when you get right down to it! How often do we pick things up off the floor of from anywhere below our waist? I’d wager more than [...]

BBQ and T-Shirt included. We’ve got Ed on the grill and Jesse on the whistle so everything’ll be [...]
It’s no surprise then that it works!! Picking up heavy stuff,
pushing heavy stuff around,
or just trying to stand up with heavy stuff on your back.
Any way you cut it up, training to make yourself stronger, leaner, faster, and just plain better, is tough work! That’s why I’m glad to call this gym my gym. We have fun by pushing [...]
May I introduce Lee Myers.
He’s on vacation to Mexico – good for him. What does he do the day he leaves? Comes in early to make sure he doesn’t miss the WOD!!! What does Lee do before he sleeps? "I stretch my chest and hamstrings and work on my L-Sit’s with the paralettes that [...]
So this was good. Norman came in Saturday last week for the "Hard Routine" seminar. He signed up that day, after the prompting of his close friend, dear Charles.
After 4 workouts this week (he he he) this is where he was after mostly completing Jason, here’s our boy Norman. He learned what a "PR" is [...]
Rich got a muscle up!!!
You’ll have to excuse us – we were in such hysterics yelling and jumping and freaking out that I missed the photo op of the day… BUT WHATEVER. This is why we put this stuff on the board!
Love my job
I’m gonna put out a couple of scenarios. 1) What if the coaches were the fittest people in the gym. What if we could do 50 muscle-ups in a row, 1000 air squats and overhead squat our bodyweights for 25 reps. And 2) What if we put a workout on the board calling for exercises [...]
Seriously. What do you want to do? Bench Press 315? Do 20 Pull-ups in a row? Run, really run and have it not feel terrible? One-handed handstands? Compete again? Meet some new friends? Listen to hard rock and sweat? Lose 20 pounds? Lose 120 pounds? Gain 20 pounds? Learn the Olympic Lifts, after all we [...]
We’re tinkering of putting together a special Elite Class for our CrossFitters who are on their way to Level 2 and Level 3 fitness.
This will be an invite only kind of thing.
Doesn’t look bad until you get to the bottom where your pull-up is so awesome that you can fly high enough to grab [...]
