Here’s a cool vid from the time they had double DT at the CrossFit Games… you know in honor of today.  The second video is heavy DT!  Yikes!  And the third… is Annie Thorisdottir doing DT at 155#.  By the way, that’s the guys Rx’d weight.  I thought this would give a great perspective after … More A Variety Of Movements… Kinda Like A Buffet 🙂

I’ve been wanting to do this Benchmark Hero workout for some time now!  Today it falls in at a great time.  One of my favorites.  The CrossFit games have implemented different iterations of this workout.  I kept going back and forth of doing the same, but it kept detouring from the original desire to do … More Hero Workout

Tomorrow’s strength piece is continuing with our Back Squat kick that we have been on for a while.  The first block of sets should be challenging, but doable, finishing with only one set at a heavier load.  This is to accommodate your system with these heavier loads (especially with all those PR’s that we had … More Add Some Weight!

Proper etiquette differs from place to place.  Within the walls of a dojo, never do you walk on the mats with your shoes on and most times you bow stepping on and off the mat.  In a traditional Olympic Weightlifting gym you never walk over someone’s bar… it’s just bad etiquette.  Our designated workout areas … More Announcement

Our third day of Game’s workout will be as simple as they come… 1K Row.  Go Fast.. Don’t Stop.. and then Go Faster!

Continuing with Games workouts!  I had wanted to do “Awful Annie” but Dumb Dumb me put a ton of Double Unders today… I just changed what I had planned to suit the day’s main entrée.  Be ready for anything on any given notice and prepare for life’s unknowns and unknowables… train to be generally physically … More Life Is Like A Box Of Chocolate

I wanted to show some crazy strength.  Clarence Kennedy showed up on the scene and represented his nation of Ireland when he competed.  I stumbled upon him back in our old facility when I use to train with Azadeh and Siddeeq.  I learned much of what shaped me as a weightlifter just watching his videos… … More Power Is Intensity

Accountability often drives the interest in starting CrossFit, and has a lot to do with the sustainment of it.  On Wednesday, there was a choice in what workout you chose… pick your poison… and I left it completely up to you from the AMRAP’s provided.  I was extremely impressed with some of your choices, “I … More Accountability

Happy birthday to the greatest man on the planet.  My dad is my hero.  I love writing about my family and the memories I have of them.  My parents’ inheritance to my sisters and I will be far greater than any number in any bank account.  I believe if you have a child that would … More A Very Special Birthday

Wow, you guys are getting strong!!  What a packed evening we had!  Energy was insane.  Great job for coming in and doing that fantastic Monday workout everyone!  Quick reminder to keep where your masks and wash them hands!  Make use of the hand sanitizers I’ve spread throughout the facility.  Please and thank you!
