WOD

Never happening again I think, but this was a fun time! What’s coming up? Anyone doing anything crazy, awesome, or crazy awesome?

This was good times 🙂

Here’s a great shot of Kelsey testing her spinal integrity at 120lbs, on the bar, in a Military Press… Dang.

She got 115 and it was clean 🙂

Hyperextension is the inverse spinal equivalent of a rounded back Deadlift. Not good on the ole’ intervertebral discs and the humour contained within each little one 🙂 Core strength is defined as the ability to resist flexion, or in this case hyperextension.

This is Lane’s forearm after a bit of a tumble off a dirt bike. I’m glad to hear he’s OK except quite a contusion. Nothing broken!

Here’s Lane a few days prior Overhead Squatting a PR triple:

Moral of the story, CrossFit is safe. Safe when compared to non-functional movements (riding dirt bikes) and safe at post maximal loads! Handy isn’t it that the movements life requires are safe for us to do?

Skills Day!

Remember how much fun we had the last month or so on Skills Day? Linda flailing about trying to get a handstand… AND THEN GETTING ONE.

Remember all the fellas trying on the rings to turn one over, and then Jeff Lamb, Andrew Feucht, Chris Cunningham amongst others that I’m sadly forgetting GOT THEM.

This is kind of a big deal!

Let’s Train the Lowly Pull-Up. No one likes them, everyone hates them, yet they definitely work and everyone uses them as a fitness test (Police, Military, Presidential Fitness…) so I say, let’s get nasty!

Teague, again. This one made me laugh 🙂

Apparently Rugby is a tough sport. Also seeing as Teague got this in the first few minutes, Teague is a tough dude. Doing the WOD must really make a difference!!

Go CrossFit Kids!!

Today be aware that you might want to show up early to start stretching, Ed. It’s a good day, there will be many frustrated people, many elated people, many people getting better and more motivated to improve. This is why we’re here!!!

Come and play!
