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!)”

It’s time for our annual Stop the Slop Challenge!

What is Stop the Slop?

It’s our 30 Day Gym-wide Challenge to clean up your eating and increase your fitness level. There are 2 sides to the challenge. You can do one (recommended), both (highly recommended), or neither (not recommended). It is a community building event designed to help all of us be more accountable to start the new year off right. It helps drive you into the gym, eat better, make goals and see results. By doing this as a gym, you will get help, encouragement, support, new food recipes or ideas, and just have FUN while doing it!
Nutrition Challenge:
You can complete/attempt a Whole30 (recommended if you haven’t done one; see us for the Whole9 Nutrition Guide/Whole30 Booklet), or eat nutritious and more paleo food choices, and/or complete a cleanse, or cut out whatever bad food vices/demons that you have been thinking about trying to beat.
Performance Challenge:
This challenge is a baseline type measurement WOD that will be programmed on Tuesday, 1/6 for all classes (make-ups on Wed). You will test yourself and record your time and whatever your scale was (RX/scale). After 30 days we will re-test the same WOD using the same scale to measure % time improvement. Ideally your nutrition choices have been strict and healthier for the past 30 days which will help you realize improvement as well in your fitness/performance.
Who should participate and is there a cost?
EVERYONE should do it. The cost is $25 per challenge for anyone who wishes to try and win either challenge for most % improvement. For the Nutrition Challenge we will measure % bodyweight lost. Weigh-in is on Monday 1/5 (make-up Tuesday 1/6). After 30 days we will have a final weigh-in and crown the winner with the highest % lost. For the Performance challenge it is the most % time improvement on the Stop the Slop WOD. We will pool all entry money into the pot and share the winnings with cool prizes for each winner.
Key Dates/Milestones:

  • 30 Day Stop The Slop… starts MONDAY, January 5th!
  • Buy in Cost = $25 per Challenge (Nutrition $25. Performance $25. = $50 for both)
  • Nutrition Challenge Weigh-in = Monday, January 5th (make-up Tues.)
  • Performance Challenge WOD = Tuesday, January 6th (make-up Wed.)
  • Final Nutrition Challenge Weigh-in and Performance Retest = Tentatively Tuesday, February 3rd (weather permitting)
    (Yes, we know the Superbowl is on Sunday, February 1st! Slop it up at your own risk.)

Remember: There will be one winner for EACH of the Challenges!
This year, will it be you?

This conditioning workout felt a lot like the CrossFit Games Open. With that in mind, here’s the upcoming schedule of the CF Games season. Expect the return the Open workouts with announcements each Thursday (We will stream the announcement in the lobby) and then programming the WOD on Fridays.  The Open begins 2/27 in our gym (announcement on Thursday at 5pm 2/26). There will be a new workout announced each Friday until March 27th. Each Friday we will have all classes completing the Open workout culminating with “Friday Night Lights” for the PM classes.

Skill Work

12 Minutes to practice skills you need work on, not the ones you love to work on, the ones you NEED to work on.
If you can kind of do the skill, now work on form & range of motion, not weight.
Example: double unders, kipping pull ups, butterfly pull ups, muscle up progressions, handstands, handstand walk, handstand push up progressions, or choose a Lift (use perfect form).
This is not hang out and visit time, this is practice time.

Checkout WOD

Overhead Squat (75#/45#)

Rep is complete when full depth is achieved at the bottom of the squat (below parallel), and both hips, knees, and elbows are fully extended at the top.

Happy 1 year CrossFit anniversary to Curtis, Will, Joe W., and Peter! They all completed the same OnRamp session together and asked that we program “Baseline” to celebrate and have a rematch from that first outing for them. It’s great to see not only the physical progress and transformations but also the friendships that people develop in the gym. Onward to that 2 year anniversary!
From Peter:
“This week marks my one year anniversary as a part of the SRCF family. This has been an amazing experience of physical and mental development. CrossFit has truly had a profound, positive impact on myself and family. As I have visited other boxes this past year I’ve realized it’s not just CrossFit that is responsible for this lifestyle change, but it’s SNO-RIDGE CrossFit that deserves the credit. Thank you Tom, Michelle, all of the Coaches and SRCF members for creating and supporting this special community. Looking forward to another great year (and that 1st Muscle Up).”
