Well, I know, no one is perfect, but there are moments when we achieve something with a movement that near perfection. I have had the great pleasure to coach the intrepid 5:30am class this week and witnessed some true moments of greatness. On Thursday during the Coach’s-Choice workout (a special feature [...]
The weather is changing. It is beautiful outside. The season of 5k, 10k, half-marathons and full marathons is approaching. The season of competitive CrossFit is approaching. What does this mean? It means running. CrossFit Works has a team registered for the upcoming Tough Mudder Race (January 14th, 2012). If you are registered for [...]

Sometimes we carry things while we move in crossfit workouts like kettlebells, weight vests, med balls, or bumperplates.

Don’t be alarmed. It isn’t that I’ve already had too much champagne to drink and got my holidays confused. I know that eggs usually go with Easter. But in our crossfitting nutrition world we take eggs whenever we can get them, especially free range, weed-eating, bug-munching, sun-bathing, keeping-it-in-the-family, raised chickens. Make one of [...]
Watch this video carefully because I’m thinking this will make a really good warm up to get you in the 70s Big mood.
That’s right. It is time for the August 70s Big Challenge. Little change in the schedule for the Challenge. It will now occur as our second workout this [...]
Good luck back in your senior year Colby
Check out these photos of Colby on his final day of a summer’s Starting Strength programming with me. Colby came in unable to deadlift more than 85lb for 5 rep and yesterday he did 175lb for a single! He benched 115 which is only [...]
OK-there were some memorable sights tonight…I will get the excellent photos Shannon took into the gallery this weekend.
We had 22 women do the Challenge and 20 men. In 70s get up. Very fun. Followed by burgers and vanilla shakes as instructed.
Here are our top 5 women: Kate Wells BW [...]
Congratulations on “Fran” yesterday everyone. Two standouts were the always lovely Mike G. who did his in 5:35! A significant personal best. And…drumroll, maybe? Midori S. took SEVEN MINUTES off her previous time with the same version of the workout!!! Sometimes, measuring and timing things is fabulously rewarding.
How are all you Get-Some Challengers [...]
