Although we explain it often, most forget what the heck the Burgener Warm-up is. Listen to Coach B explain it himself.
Coach Burgener Explains The Burgener Warm-up
This warm-up should be approached with discipline and consistency of movement. It is not only a prep series to get ready to snatch; it’s a cycle that creates repetition in speed, bar path, technique and footwork and will directly improve your snatch movement or reinforce bad movement. Whether you use a PVC or an empty bar, treat it the same as if you are under load. You want to move with “perfection” each and every time.

Attention Teens! The CF Open will have a teen division this year with two age categories (14-15 and 16-17). I strongly encourage all of our teens to register compete in the teens division and kick some butt! These divisions will be filled with competition any teenager will see in the future as they continue with CrossFit, rather than competing in the Open against old(er) people like me.
5 rounds for time of:
6 Power Snatches (115#/75#)
9 Toes-to-bars
12 Kettlebell Sumo Deadlift High-pulls (53#/35#)
We are almost two weeks into the Stop the Slop Challenge. Keep up with your nutrition changes, stay consistent in the gym, and get ready for the retest in two more weeks. This is great prep for the Open starting soon after.
Reminder: Sign up for the 2015 CrossFit Games Open that starts at the end of February! On the fence about the RX Open? Then sign up for the scaled division.

Today was a big milestone for Michelle M. She completed her 500th WOD at SRCF! That is an example of hard work, discipline, and a desire to be healthier. We are proud of you and congrats on joining the 500 WOD Club! You look proud in your T-Shirt.
Achieving a milestone of 100, 250, 500 workouts or whatever number is a testament of your dedication to come in day in and day out when there are any number of things that can and will get in the way. It gives both of us a large amount of satisfaction to see people in our gym want to earn a right to wear a T-Shirt. It means you care enough about your fitness to set a goal and earn it. Keep track of your workouts, put the time and effort in, and remember that maintaining your health is a lifelong endeavor.
Here’s what she had to say about it:
“Today was a big milestone for me…500 CrossFit wods in the books. Hands down the hardest but most worthwhile fitness plan for me. I still can’t do half the stuff I want to but I’m closer to those goals than I was when I started 3 years ago! One of the best parts is the friends I’ve made while “suffering in the trenches”. #sameorbetter
CrossFit by the numbers:
•100: percent I gave every wod
•3: # of years since beginning my cf journey
•2: # of surgeries (non-CrossFit related)
•0: # of CrossFit injuries (bloody shins and hands don’t count)
•too many: # of tshirts I’ve bought!
•countless: # of friends I’ve made
•500: times I told my pride to shut up and just get in there (aka: # of wods as of today!)”
