Mona is DESTROYING her strength training these days! All her lifts are going up like crazy in Raw Strength, and her killer barbell instinct is coming out.

 Barebones Barbell Club of Tucson: strength training, power lifting, Olympic Lifting, private weight lifting facility  |
It hasn’t taken long for the lull of the Tucson summer to wear off and be replaced by an upcoming flurry of events! Lazing around in a heat-induced daze is done. I sincerely hope will be seeing these two on the evening of August 29th!! This Saturday August 20th at [...] I love to start my day laughing. First I was laughing at how awesome the video Jenny sent to me was…a nine year old GIRL weighing in at 88lbs. back squatting 187lbs in a raw powerlifting meet. I can appreciate that despite the uncomfortable proximity to my own 1RM back squat at…more than [...] The push presses from the 6am and 7am classes were remarkable! No press outs at the top, nice powerful dips, good overhead positioning and much faster than normal. Nice work you guys!! This week you are experimenting with a change in how you are being asked to approach your strength sets. Yikes!! [...] Learn from the Bulgarians. They know everything about weightlifting. Calm your sleep and practise your snatch in Sicily wearing shower sandals because your luggage was lost. The Italians had to loan these guys shoes and suits for the competition. Makes you rethink your little rituals and “must haves”. OK, now to be serious. [...] All the classes did a dozen Sun Salutations to warm up for the weighted pullups this week. Why the heck are we doing yoga??? As the definition of CrossFit is to be the best general physical preparedness, strength and conditioning program in the world it is always good to check out how prepared you [...] Ruben Bravo’s 310lb bench press. Amanda C. benched 150lb on Saturday!!!! That makes me a little emotional it is so awesome! About weightlifting…I really really like how CrossFit’s Olympic Lifting Coach Mike Burgener describes the attitude you need for a good lift. ”Junkyard dog aggression.” I think, especially as [...] CrossFit Works would like to welcome the Rams Pop Warner football team!! You can find these extremely focused, hard-working kids in the gym three times a week. This crew ranges in age from 9-12. Kevin and I field many many questions about strength training for kids, so we may as well spread [...] Since you guys are bench pressing right now, and since we are now going to host regularly scheduled Master’s WODs I thought you might be inspired by a video of a raw bench press from a master power lifter. From this day forward, our Master’s WODs will occur on Saturday mornings at 10:30. [...] She just might be at CrossFit Works getting a red rose from the Carl, Shane, Ben, Danny, Jordan, Ruben, Crandall. Thanks you guys. Not everyone knows how romantic and sweet crossfitters are…and look at what good dancers too. Who is leading? Saturday morning’s Master’s WOD was totally fun and [...] A nice little Sunday afternoon 60th birthday workout. Welcome to the whole family and Many Happy Returns to the young Professor Steve. Looking forward to the start of the week and a chance to get these softball players a little more weight on their [...] Crossfit Works would like to extend our welcome to all the young men of Sunnyside’s baseball team. These guys are in the gym to build a powerful strength base to take back onto the baseball field. I am incredibly impressed with their focus and attention to a lot of detailed instruction. It is [...] Please welcome our young athletes whom you will be seeing around more and more. These two in the photo, are Alex (right) (son of a famous local crossfitter) and Xavier (left). Xavier managed to power clean 155lbs on his third time ever powercleaning and Alex dialed in the box squat, proving that he [...] Carl and I would like to officially welcome the newest CrossFit Works team member, Kevin Nichols of Prime Academy.
