Tomorrow is 9/11. We will do a workout that incorporates the numbers 9/11 but isn’t one we have done before. It will be tough but shorter in duration and won’t be one of the mammoth workouts like “343” or the “9/11 Throwdown”. Dedicate tomorrow to those who died that day and all since. Remember how we were attacked and be grateful for the freedoms we have. 

I love this post below that was on the CrossFit.com main site recently. 

“Brigadier General Paul Funk II just celebrated his 50th birthday on April 29th, deployed in Afghanistan. As an Armored Cavalry officer, he has always focused on fitness, but since starting CrossFit six months ago, he has worked himself into the best shape of his life. He takes each one of the ‘Hero’ workouts personally, and adds them to the diary of the Soldiers who have sacrificed all, while serving their country under his Command.”
– Nick Bono

Three year old Jeremy Bloniasz lost his life in a tragic accident Thursday, July 6th, 2006. To Jeremy’s parents, Kelly and Jeremy, the entire CrossFit family offers our deepest sorrow. In young Jeremy’s honor the following kid’s workout will be known from here on as “Jeremy.” ~ CrossFit.com

 This tribute WOD is not a “Hero” WOD in the traditional sense in that it honors a soldier, sailor, airman, marine or first responder. It instead honors the life of a boy who left his family far too soon in 2006, and it led to a bigger effort in CrossFit to promote awareness of preventing infant and child drownings. Over time the version evolved to be done with a 95# or 65# barbell for adults, and broomsticks, bars or somewhere in between for kids.

Children’s drown prevention is an initiative of CrossFit Kids

To Daniel’s family and friends, we express our sorrow; to his wife Kathy and daughter Mallory, we tearfully acknowledge your loss as the true cost of freedom. Fair Winds, Daniel.”

Here’s a couple pics Frank took of the coffee donations for the troops from his old unit that is deployed in Afghanistan. In addition to hosting and completing the recent 31Heroes WOD the gym helped Frank put together enough coffee and goodies to fill 15 boxes for our servicemen and women. Thanks again to everyone who donated for these care packages!

This is a great shrug and full extension on the clean.

Coach Jeremy – So hot right now:

Jeremy_Clean

I’ve always wanted to program burpee pull-ups but coming up with a reasonable way to scale them kept me from using them. I don’t like doing all burpees first and then all pull-ups and we don’t have a ton of space for alternate types of set-ups. Keeping it simple with a burpee to a jumping pull-up each rep allows for the same movement along with the ability to lower the box to get closer to an actual pull-up as you get stronger. Expect to see these more often.

Last night was the SRCF Margarita Fest at Ana’s Mexican Family Restaurant. Good times were had with a big group, good food and of course margaritas! We will have to do this again. As Jim Mc said “thanks Anna for having a restaurant so we can all drink together”!

Quote of the Day: “The deadlift is more functional in that it’s very hard to imagine a more useful application of strength than picking heavy shit up off the ground.” ~ Mark Rippetoe

Deadlift_Spencer Aftermath

Short, fast couplet today. Classic CrossFit. Pre-WOD was a great opportunity to work on different skills and technique whether it was strict or kipping dips, foot locks on ropes, or getting that double-under. Tomorrow is your chance to test your one rep max in both the snatch and clean and jerk. You will have a set amount of time. No more. Work efficiently and focus on doing work. If you run out of time then you probably were talking too much. Get after it!
