More on the bar or more on the floor? That was the choice today. Heavier overhead squats or 30 more burpees. I prefer the heavier squats but picked the burpees. Yay burpees. Either way was an ass kicker.

Schedule Update:

This Friday and Saturday (5/31 – 6/1) we are CLOSED for the Northwest Regionals.

No classes on either day!

All are welcome to come watch the Games for our Region and to cheer on Mark as he competes individually among the top CrossFitters in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Alaska and Montana. The venue is the Showare Arena in Kent. Heat times will be published on the games site under our region so you can know when Mark (or any other athletes) goes. The top 3 men, women and teams will earn a spot to the CrossFit Games in July at the Stub Hub Arena in Los Angeles. You can buy your Regional tickets at the door or online. If you come then look for the rest of the SRCF Crew!

Saturday is the SRCF “Powered by Bacon” shirt, Sunday is the “Pick Things Up and Put Them Down” shirt. If you don’t have them then wear another SRCF or CrossFit shirt, or a singlet (you can borrow Sean’s) or a half mesh tank top with capri’s (you can borrow Josh’s).

“In memory of Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, 29, of Patchogue, N.Y., who was killed in Afghanistan June 28th, 2005.

This workout was one of Mike’s favorites and he’d named it “Body Armor”. From here on it will be referred to as “Murph” in honor of the focused warrior and great American who wanted nothing more in life than to serve this great country and the beautiful people who make it what it is.” ~ from CrossFit.com

“Murph” was a Hero and Navy Seal who received the Medal of Honor for gallantry in action during Operation Red Wings. LT Murphy died while leading his team and risking his personal safety repeatedly to call for support for his team while involved in a heavy ambush by Taliban forces. The battle claimed the lives of 11 Navy SEALs and 8 US Army Nightstalkers from TF 160 SOAR. Two CrossFit Hero WOD’s are dedicated to two of those fallen (Murph and Michael).

Today we honored our fallen veterans with “Memorial Day Murph”. 37 of us came in and honored our heroes. 6 more completed it on their own yesterday and today outside of the gym. Thanks to all who came and supported one another and the outstanding effort and first class determination that each of you showed. It’s humbling to see the participation and community.

God Bless our fallen Veterans. Thank you to all who served and all who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Long day, late night. (Rob you can go to sleep now that I have posted the results!) Clean pulls are really improving and many are generating a stronger finish, sending the knees back and really staying over the bar with the shoulders until the hip extension and shrug/pull.

If you haven’t been checking the website daily then stop and do a 10 burpee penalty. Seriously do burpees, but first read the website. This weekend is Memorial Day and on Monday we have an adjusted schedule as well as the Murph hero WOD. Please read below under “Events” for details.

Friday we have the 2nd weekend of Regional action with Canada East (aka the Camille show), NorCal (aka Khalipa/Maddox/Barber Bromance region), and then a few others that are “Anybody’s region” (aka South Central, Australia, Africa).

Read the below article on how to improve your Oly lifts. This is spot on. “Go slow to go fast.” This cue is something I have heard Coach Burgener use so often it plays in my head when I snatch or clean. Sometimes we want to rush things and forget we need to slow it down first to maximize technique and form. Or to just clear the mind and stop thinking too much before the lift.

I’ve wanted to program this for some time now. Before I did though I wanted to have a sizeable enough group of people who could do muscle-ups to give this a shot. Congrats to everyone who got on those rings and knocked them out. For those who missed the WOD today and have muscle-ups you can make this one up tomorrow.
