With Regionals weekend officially over I am personally exhausted (I bet Mark was too as he judged with me). While not as tiring as what the athletes go through, being out on the competition floor judging for three long days kind of numbs you to CrossFit by the end and kills your back, knees, and feet. After a LONG night’s sleep I woke up feeling groggy but fired up to watch the other Regionals I missed (taking the day off was perfect) and by the afternoon I was already missing it.  Watching the drama and race unfold of each workout and the effort to get on the podium is even better when you are up close and a part of the process to find the fittest athletes to move on. I’m already thinking I’ll judge again next year and can’t wait to go watch the Games and go coach Jules in Carson in less than two months! Every year I wonder if CrossFit will ever get old and every year my passion for it actually grows.

It’s OFFICIAL! Jules (above) got her invitation today to compete at the CrossFit Games in July in the 16-17 yrs. old Teenage Division! Not only as a coaching staff; but also as a gym, friends, family, and her fellow CrossFitters we are all SO proud of her accomplishment to qualify for the Games.

Announcing the “Team Jules” CF Games shirts:
I wanted to design a T that was similar to the Rogue athlete shirts that are not “overt” with the athlete name but still capture their spirit or style. With this design the classic “J” of Jules’s muscle-up kipping swing quickly stands out. Thanks to Rob W. for capturing a picture we could translate for the design. Can’t wait to wear this at the 2015 CF Games! Show your support for her by getting a shirt.

  • Brands are American Apparel for men’s T’s, and Next Level for women’s
  • To preorder a size/color than please email us or post in the Facebook group
  • Men’s: Black AA 50/50 T
  • Women’s: Dusty Pink Next Level Poly Cotton T or Pink Next Level Racerback Tank
  • Cost: $20

Coming up soon! Tune in for the schedule for this annual Memorial Day Hero WOD.
31Heroes:
We are registered once again to host the annual Team WOD 31 Heroes this August on Saturday 8/1. This will be our 5th year doing this workout. To sign up go here and click on the register link next to our gym.
In addition to typical weight/power lifting training I love to program complexes and EMOM’s. Their benefits are many vs. the standard strict strength program of fixed sets of single reps or no time domain. This article sums up what complexes are and why we do them.
