This complex of power clean, front rack alternating lunge on each leg and a push press is a combination of multiple functional movements that adds fatigue as you go and hits the entire body. Expect some sore glutes! Video demo linked above of the Curtis P.

2018 Reebok CrossFit Games Season Schedule

THE OPEN IS COMING!

FIVE WEEKS – FEB. 22-MARCH 26

  • 18.1- Feb. 22-26
  • 18.2- March 1-5
  • 18.3- March 8-12
  • 18.4- March 15-19
  • 18.5- March 22-26

Registration for the Open begins Thursday, Jan. 11, 2018.

The Open is the first stage of the CrossFit Games season and the largest community event of the year. Every year, hundreds of thousands of athletes come together to compete in the worldwide, online competition.

Anyone aged 14 or older can compete. All you have to do is sign up at Games.CrossFit.com and log your score each week. Workouts are released on Thursdays at 5 p.m. PT, and all SRCF athletes will be able to complete the workout for the week each Friday and submit their score. Scores are due before 5 p.m. PT the following Monday. You must complete the workouts at a CrossFit affiliate with a judge.

The Open offers two versions of each workout, scaled and Rx’d. The scaled option makes the event all-inclusive. All athletes can compare their results to others worldwide, regionally, by age or within their own gyms. An official CrossFit Games app will be available in late January, which will focus on your own personal performance in the Open.

At the end of five weeks, the fittest in the world move on to the next stages of competition: the Regionals and the Online Qualifier.

Last night was Coach Jeremy’s last class (for now). We are truly thankful for all of the years of coaching he has put into the gym and helped so many people in our SRCF community! He has been a rock steady friend as well as a fixture of our coaching staff and gym for a long time going back to our first space on the corner after we outgrew our garage. We hope this “retirement” is a much needed break and we see him back in the New Year. We will all miss you Jeremy!
We’re also excited that we are welcoming three new coaches onboard with Peter, Rob W., and Shay starting in 2018! They will be taking over a few evening classes starting next week so give them a warm welcome and be sure to ask them “what’s a thruster?”!
