TOMORROW is our annual SRCF costume-required “Frankenchipper”! The Frankenchipper is a combination of benchmark “Girls” WOD’s. Like Frankenstein it’s part “Helen”, “Nancy”, “Karen”, “Cindy”, and “Filthy Fifty”.

Make sure you have your costume. First wave is at 9:30am. We will run however many waves we need to get all of you through. No need to sign up, just show up!

No costume = no Frankenchipper WOD. Your horrifying WOD will be 100 burpees for time. Do NOT be the person who shows up clueless without a costume! 

Saturday night is our annual Halloween party for the gym! This adults only Halloween costume party will be at our place at 7:30pm.  Grab your costume, bring a dish (paleo friendly or not) and don’t miss this as it’s always one of our most freakishly fun times of the year. More details can be found in our gym Facebook group.

Note: There is no 10/25 Saturday Advanced RX class

RANT ALERT: This is a NO REP. The whole 5pm class gets a no rep today for this debacle. Put things away correctly. It only makes more work for everyone else. We are not your mom and not a daycare who picks up all the toys for you.

Congrats to Jennifer and Jill who competed yesterday at CrossFit SLU in Seattle at the Festivus Games Throwdown and finished 5th (Jennifer) and 2nd (Jill)! Awesome job for thier first individual CrossFit competition!

Good example below of the Level 2 CrossFit Trainer Certificate Course (Coaches Prep). This type of of small group breakout and coaching “on the spot” is a large part of how the course is run:

EMOM Rest

Congrats to Teri for reaching her 777th WOD! She requested something with this number scheme and one that was a EMOM format. Since I didn’t let her have a “666” WOD she got her wish today. Hitting this many workouts is a testament to Teri’s discipline and dedication.

Bench

The benches arrived last week so it was time to mix up our strength training with some bench presses. For some this was a new movement while for many it was a focus on learning and practicing better technique to correct how we all learned to bench press (watching other people in a weight room). Adding this movement will help improve upper body pushing and pressing strength in the chest and shoulders.

Tomorrow 10/15 we will conduct our drawing for the raffle for the free spot to the Movement Fix Athlete’s Movement and Mobility workshop we are hosting on 11/2. We will post the winner tomorrow!
