Today is a fun day.... we have a CrossFit staple, and for some, it is a very quick intensity based workout.  Regardless of fitness level, it is a simple workout that can push everyone to complete exhaustion.  Use today's wod to build bonds with those around you.  Cheer them on.  Count for them.  EVEN if you know you wont make the whiteboard.  Squeeze every bit of effort out of someone, and then let them do the same for you.  The BEST thing about our little gym is what im describing in this paragraph.  Hands down.  So embrace it in todays wod.

After Grace, option of

Run mile for time

Snatch max (power or full)

little something on how we feel about our training/culture....courtesy of Crossfit Montcon


Them vs. Us
THEY have CNN or Kelly Clarkson playing in the background.
WE have other members cheering you on to finish your last rep.
THEY have cardio machines that tell you you’re going too fast.
WE have trainers that are telling you you’re not going fast enough.
THEY have mirrors.
WE have trainers that tell you how to correct your form.
THEY have biceps curls and cable crossover machines.
WE have squats and deadlifts that you’ll actually be able to transfer into real life.
THEY sell you a membership and hope you only come for one month.
WE want you to come as often as possible to help change your life.
THEY have a 20 minute workout in 2 hours.
WE have a 2 hour workout in 20 minutes.

THEY have a machine at the front desk where you swipe your card.
WE have knowledgeable trainers that are ready to give you all the fitness information that you ask for.
THEY train for looks.
WE train for life.


moving on...

check out this great vid.  Look at Laura's shins/knees in the two variations of the box squat.
She shows how to do it correct....(shin straight up and down), and then shows how this squat can be done incorrectly, by rolling forward.  Then she fixes the issue at the end.
