CrossFit for Hope http://www.localsgym.com/june-9th-crossfit-for-hope http://www.localsgym.com/june-9th-crossfit-for-hope#comments Wed, 16 May 2012 14:53:01 +0000 Jesse http://www.localsgym.com/?p=2967 Killer workout and we’re going to Rainier CrossFit to do it!

Save the belly-aching and get in ‘yer cars and drive the hour south and let’s meet up with some fellow awesome Crossfitters and kick butt! It’s a fundraiser for St. Jude’s Children Hospital, we’ll be making a team soon and we can all register and donate to help. We’ll get a ride share /car pool situation going and dominance will occur shortly thereafter!

Excellent!

Here’s the pertinent changes to be aware of :)

Friday night classes, 5:30 is still happening. 6:30 is not, however (!!!) please come and help us move equipment and get the gym ready for Salvage Wars!!! If you’ve signed up for volunteer duty, we need you to be here and ready to roll, there’s lots and lots to be done!

Saturday: the gym is closed for the meet. So that means no classes or open gym during that time, because there’s powerlifting awesomeness happening! The meet will run from 8-6 (all day!) and will be a sight to behold.

Sunday is the regular schedule and if you’ve been to the Sunday class after a meet you know it’s always a bit creative and there will be some gear retrieval/moving associated with that session, be ready!

Thanks guys!

And then, because I really am mean I want to point out that Active Shoulders is one of the 5 unchanging elements of our Foundational 9 Movements in CrossFit. Jamie is doing a suboptimal job of demonstrating this concept while overhead squatting. Perhaps his coach is doing a suboptimal job of informing his athlete about this during the workout…

Active shoulders in this situation (overhead squatting) would mean that Jamie’s neck would all but disappear amidst the vast piles of his muscly traps. He’d shrug “up” thereby supporting the bar better overhead.

Thanks Jamie!!
