Good morning everyone. I hope you are having a beautiful restful Sunday. Because on Monday you have work to get done. When you arrive on Monday you will have your own Training Log Book. There are places for each of your lifts and your bench mark workouts as well as places for notes. There [...]
Last night I had a lot of fun talking about fat. You all asked some excellent questions and hopefully we got a few of the answers pinned down. I will put together a reading list regarding fat and post it in the near future for those of you interested in learning more. In addition of [...]
This here is Elizabeth. Today she did her second ever pull-up. Once you get your second ever they just start coming by the dozens…. Congratulations. So exciting. One thing that Elizabeth does really well is observes her progress and notes goals and changes. She has been doing this for about 6 months. She first worked [...]
Good morning. How about those animal walks? It is like coordination therapy. The backwards versions are harder than the workouts. Last night at the 5:00 we had a guest appearance by Dave Smith and he did a little partner medicine ball work for the warm ups. It was pretty funny, especially since my [...] This Wednesday at 7:00pm (May 27th) there will be a talk here at the gym on dietary fat. Fat is the most fascinating, misunderstood, maligned nutrient around. Do you know the difference between saturated, unsaturated, monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, medium chain, short chain, raw, cooked, vegetable or animal fats? Do you know what functions in your body [...]
We may as well take advantage of the fact that we live in Tucson and it is HOT. Briar is going to teach a HOT yoga class Sundays from 4:00 to 5:00. It will be about outside temp, no coolers will have been on for 24 hours. The sequence of poses will be the same [...] Sometimes, it is hard to let someone else tell you you are wrong. Or give you instructions. Or criticism. Or call you out on not giving your full effort. I should know. That kind of thing makes me mad. BUT, the reason I have improved as a CrossFitter over time is because I turn that [...] Mike, enjoying a little post-Fight Gone Bad fan effect.
On Monday, Mike G. rowed a 1:29 500M row. On the CrossFit Skill Level list this puts him between Advanced and Elite. Nevermind lists. That is a crazy fast time! Really amazing. But the first thing I thought about it is that our Affiliate has the nicest, [...] We do it to keep all you guys who used to like sitting on the bench doing bicep curls happy. No, just kidding. I feel like the fact that we frequently ask you all to do sets of heavy slow lifts is one of the things we do best for you. Everyone one of you [...] Ron and Briar will be a part of CrossFit Works history because outside of the clients that came here with us, they were our first official members. Briar gave us the impression that it would be miraculous if Ron actually kept coming back. Seemed like a good challenge. Oh, and at this point Ron was [...] Many of us agreed that yesterday’s workout, the 5-4-3-2-1, 1-2-3-4-5 Thrusters and the 3-6-9-12-15, 15-12-9-6-3 Box Jumps was awesome! We will be revisiting that one again some day for sure. We are incredibly fortunate to have met Bruce Montoya (through his fantastic wife Summer, of course). He is an instructor in Krav Maga, Israel’s foundational [...] We have an old building. It is almost and will be a brilliant CrossFit gym, but as those of you who have been with us awhile know there were some changes to make. We absolutely could not have accomplished as much as we have without the help and work hours of John W., Chauncey, Chris [...]
“when you start to eat clean like we do with paleo, it takes a little bit for your body to adjust as it detoxes from the crap that we had been eating before. Just keep in mind that eating paleo is more about a lifstyle change, one that will give you [...] |
