WOD

Should I eat this...?

Ever find yourself wondering if something you are about to inhale is actually good for you? It is probably obvious that eating an entire box of Cheeze-its isn't exactly body-fueling nutrition. But, what about all of those "healthy" things you see on a restaurant menu? Want to learn a little more about what you are about to ingest? Check this out.

Snatch Sundays (or Oly lifting Sundays)

Check out this video!

Scott Pr'd his snatch by 10 lbs! Most of us who did the snatch work out last Friday also Pr'd. The crazy thing is, we haven't really spent much, if any time, focusing on heavy Oly lifts. Yet, we PR'd? CrossFit is kind of cool like that!

However, as coaches, we have been inspired to put some focus into working the Snatch, along with the Clean & Jerk. So, following the 4th of July, we will begin Olympic Lifting on Sundays for those who are interested. Of course you can always use Sunday as make-up day, as usual.

This is how it will work. One week we will work technique at a medium weight on the Snatch, then we will work to a 1rm on the Clean & Jerk. The following week we will do the opposite - work up to a 1rm on the Snatch, then work technique on the Clean & Jerk.

Not only is this just something cool to work on, if you chose to do this, you too can have a really badass video (like above) of yourself lifting a lot of weight in slow motion.

Snatches, WODs in the park & bird sh*t

Here are a couple videos from the past week.

Friday, we snatched. Reed kicked ass finishing at 165#. WTF!? That is AMAZING! Watch...

We also did a couple of WODs in the park on Saturday. Fun stuff, people!

Grace was the first WOD. We probably got a few stares from cars driving by & the people running past the park.

Along with Grace, we did Bird Shit. This WOD was made up of 21-15-9 front squats at your Grace weight + bar push-ups. It was supposed to be bar facing burpees (something everyone hates!), but there was a lot of bird poop on the ground, so luckily Scott was nice enough to change the movement. I never realized how bird poop could actually be beneficial...however, not wanting it to be too easy, he added in a "sprint" around the park, which included going down the slide. We looked like some BAMFers!
