Today was a “Power Hour” day. Strictly a strength focus and no conditioning workout. We don’t do this often but it occasionally works it’s way into the programming to allow recovery from a couple days of tough “breathe heavy” WOD’s. Surprisingly the turnout was low for this. Who doesn’t love cleaning and benching?!?!
Congrats goes to Dan L. for completing his 250th WOD this week! Also congrats to those who completed the “Ab Challenge” that Will ran for the past 30 days.
Attention:
If anyone that has “bought in” to the Stop the Slop Challenge needs to pay please bring it into the gym this week.

Dave Castro on the Individual Competition
“Nick’s Zone: Chipotle Bison Chili With Butternut Squash” – CrossFit Journal [video] and [recipe]
Complete as many rounds as possible in 15 mins of:
Run 200m
3 Squat Cleans (225#/155#)
12 Push Up (Rings)
The workout demo below amazes me. The loads these two CF’ers are moving are pretty mind-blowing for a complex that is a shoulder/hip drive/leg combo that requires solid technique, speed and power. 3-4 years ago a male athlete who hit 205-225# in their final set (7th) would be considered top range/CF Games level. These guys do it in their 4th set. This sport keeps breaking barriers.
