Products:

Do you have Bakballs? If not maybe you want to get a pair. You could also tape a couple balls you have laying around together and save some money. Yes this product is real.

Review: Bakballs

Some of my favorite quotes from this review:

  • “One of the best features of Bakballs is that you can use it while in bed!”
  • “And most of the people I used to test the Bakballs on found this size worked fine. Although there were several who found the ball itself was either a little too big or small, meaning they were simply unable to get the advertised benefit.”

Finish

Strength WOD:

Complete the following for load every minute on the minute (EMOM) for 10 minutes: 
2 Snatch (Squat)

* Post loads, re-grip allowed

Conditioning WOD:

5 Rounds for time of:

7 Snatch (95#/65#)
12 Weighted Overhead Sit-up (25#/15# bumper)

Focus on the “Finish” in your olympic lifts. Full hip, knee, and ankle extension with your shoulders back behind the bar. This is the end of the “2nd Pull” and is vital to the jump portion of the lift. With speed through the middle and a strong finish you WILL hit a PR.

If you want then order in the box or on Facebook NLT tomorrow as the order is going in on Wednesday night (we need size and color). We will order some extra for stock.

One point per rep, except on the rower where each calorie is one point. Score total reps and reps per round.

Announcing the “Mark Shark” Fan Club!

Mark Fan Club

We are now less than 4 weeks away from the CF Games Northwest Regionals which will be held at the Puyallup Fairgrounds from May 25-27. The top men, women, and teams from the Open for our region (WA, OR, AK, ID, MT) will all throw down for 6 brutal WOD’s over three days. Our own Mark “Shark” Buskas will be representing for the second year in a row and we will be rooting for him! What does that mean for the schedule over that weekend?

We will be closed on Friday (5/25) and Saturday (5/26) so that we can be down at the Regionals not only as fans; but also as Mark’s cheering section leaders (M and Rona), Regionals Judge (Tom), Regionals Media Team (Moe), and Mark’s coach (Jeremy). This means no classes for those two days. We highly encourage everyone to try and come to watch Regionals, cheer on Mark and enjoy the Games experience a little closer to home.

Mark and his Shark Socks:

Shark Snatch

On Monday (5/27) we will have two class times (11:30am and 1pm) and we will run a special Memorial Day Murph workout. We will post an official sign-up for the WOD as we get closer. For those unfamiliar with LT Michael Murphy, aka “Murph”, go to the link where you can read about this true hero and Medal of Honor recipient (you don’t “win” it, you receive it) and what this classic Hero workout is. If you want to register and receive a T-shirt then you can also do so there. The shirts are pretty sick and designed by Forged clothing company and benefits charity.

Murph is truly a tough Hero WOD. We highly encourage scaling and will ensure each person is scaled correctly. Remember what this represents, what the day is about, and pay honor to those who have fallen. Give it your best effort, count what’s legit, join your fellow SRCF community and have some fun!

I received an email tonight from the manager of the Reebok Outlet at North Bend letting me know that they will have a CrossFit store set up at Regionals with ReebokCF gear and shoes. Plenty of other vendors will likely be there but I know some of you were wanting to order shoes so you can try to get some there.
