R&R

Rest. Relax. Recover. Recharge. We are back from our week of R&R and can’t wait to welcome everyone back into the gym. I will be at CrossFit Seattle today for an Olympic Lifting seminar with Coach Mike Burgener and spending time with lots of PVC work on cleans and snatches (and burpee penalties). This will help us to school you in the basics of the most explosive and technical of barbell lifts.

Enjoy your Sunday. We will be ready for you all.

Do not make the mistake of underestimating this. Gently let the knee kiss the ground. Keep the toe box out in front of the knee. Rest in place. No hands on knees while walking. Stretch after!

Rest Day

Rest. If you did the 100 burpees yesterday than take a well deserved day to recover, refuel, and get stronger. If you skipped the burpees then WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! 3-2-1 Go!

New T-Shirt design:
Check Your Ego T
Post thoughts to comments and let us know if you want one.
We are planning to put in an order at the end of the month. Men’s and Women’s shirts will be American Apparel Track Shirts and be a Poly/Cotton/Rayon blend that fits like an Under Armour Tech T (Not tight and lightweight for working out). Women’s will be a “ladies” fit. 

I love burpees!

Today’s WOD is epic suck. Just do it!
