It’s weird to me that people ask for professional worker-outer’s autographs. Then again I always thought it was weird to ask for any sports athletes autographs. “Rich Froning: Getting Recognized” – [video]

Happy birthday Mums (Michelle)! You hate squats and cleans, but like pistols and snatches. Since we just snatched, I figured three out of four isn’t too bad.

Just two numbers to remember today. No mid-WOD math required. 5’s then 9’s. After today the squats should take care of any residual soreness from Monday’s overhead squat-fest. The 9’s were just an effective gasser.

Here’s a good interview with one of my favorite Games athletes. Graham Holmberg In 2013

Attention CrossFit Dads and Daughters:

This Sunday on Father’s Day, June 16th join me and Ashley as we lead a WOD in Bellevue for ivivva athletica clothing. We will be meeting at the store in Bellevue between 9:45 and 10am and then kick things off around 10am. If it’s sunny we will all walk over to Bellevue Downtown Park for the bodyweight workout. It’s free and will be fun!

A workout like today’s makes for both a mental challenge and an ass kicking. The challenge of a big rep scheme leaves you with nowhere to catch your breath or recover on a different movement, and only the decision to stand there and rest. More time to think about all those overhead squats and shaky legs. It would be interesting to see today’s times compared to this same amount of work but with 5 rounds of 30, 20, and 10 each.

Yesterday in my lack of sleep, zombie like state and still suffering from the denial and shellshock of “Game of Thrones Episode 9” I forgot to mention that we have a new kick ass coach officially running the 6:30am class once a week. Lisa C. (who comes to us from the Lab in Seattle) is now coaching the Thursday 6:30am class and Moe will still be running the Tues AM class. Lisa is highly accomplished having been voted “Coach of the Year for 2012 at SnoRidge CrossFit” by her fellow coaches despite not having coached a single class last year! You don’t get any more legit than that. Welcome Lisa!

Happy 30th birthday to Lynn (she requested a rope climb birthday WOD) and congrats to Bill, Elliott and Holly for their 1 year anniversary with starting CrossFit! All great milestones and reasons to celebrate!

A power snatch should look like a full (or squat) snatch with shallow squat depth. As you go heavier the squat gets deeper:
