Want bar muscle-ups? Get strict pull-ups dialed in. Then get strict chest-to-bar pull-ups. Then develop a strong efficient kip and kipping pull-up. After having all three of those then grab one of your coaches and we will help teach you that bar muscle-up technique. Be patient and master the basics!

Burpee Box Jumps

The burpee box jump: I am surprised at how many people today said they had never done these. It seems as if either everyone avoids them or I just need to program them more.

Tonight I had a naptime…I mean personal training session for the 6pm “class”. Well done Kimber:

Congrats to Coach Mark who used his fitness and competed this past weekend in Seattle at the “BeastFest” and battled through 5 WOD’s to finish in 2nd place! He had a tight battle for that podium with some pretty fit men and fellow Regional competitors. Way to kill it Mark!

• Less Inflammation/Less Pain
• Better Digestion
• Improved Mood

Common questions:

*Yes, you still workout! You do everything in your normal routine.

*Yes, you still eat the same. Unless you eat like crap. Then, I would suggest cleaning up your diet. And, there are no “specific rules” but it is a detox so it is recommended that you cut out alcohol.

*Yes, non-SRCF peeps can participate! If your spouse, your family member, your neighbor, your friend (etc) is interested in doing the 24 Day Challenge please pass on the information. They are welcome to play with us!

That’s only $10 a day! And remember, Spark replaces your daily coffee/tea, so you’ll save that by not going to Starbucks!! You will also have Meal Replacement Shakes during your Max Phase so, again, that is money that you won’t be spending.

Saer approves of max day after a 53″ standing box jump!

Thumbs Up

Recently it was brought up that we haven’t had a “fun” day in a while. One of those days where you get to try different stuff, test out a max, see what you can do. So today was a max effort day where you got to choose a lift, then pick as many skills, movements or sprints that you wanted to try. We have some pretty awesome snatching, running, and jumping FOOLS in here! I have also decided some of you will no longer be allowed to use less than at least a 36″ box jump for “RX” workouts.

Most importantly, it appears as if Rob S. set a world record standing box jump at 67 and 1/2 inches! Or did he…

EMOM

From the below article: “Athletes, when we CrossFit in our home boxes, we are training, even as we compete with our own times and our fellow athletes. When you train, realize that we will not be perfect at every movement, and some movements require more work then others. It’s more important to improve the quality of your WOD than it is to have the Rx by your name.”

Not Forgotten.

Never Forget WOD_Spencer

Thank you to Spencer for playing “Amazing Grace” on his bagpipes today before the WOD at the 0930 class. It was a very moving tribute and I was grateful to at least see the video that was taken.

Today was our
9/11 tribute WOD I designed last year (2012) that is different from ones we have
done previously (“343” and the “9/11 Throwdown” in 2011 and 2010). Today is a day to
reflect on the attack on our nation and those who were murdered that day, as well
as the lives that have been lost since that day. Completing a hard
workout dedicated to their memories is a small way to honor them as well
as thank those who have sacrificed for our freedoms as first responders, firefighters, law enforcement and military service members. Never Forget.
