Do you think if one of your classmates gave you a couple slaps before you benched you could break records!?!? I know you guys are as excited as I am to be bench pressing. Ahhh, the sighs of relief from some members of our gym when they saw that on the board. And then, the [...]

CrossFit is unusual as a sport and as a training method. In all other training systems you train for a while and then you race or compete. Your day-to-day training is the “homework” and then on race/game day you go and take your “test” to see how you stack up. For example, in weightlifting you [...] It was a good morning!! There is a rockstar chica in the 6am class by the name of Jen C. Check out her pull up ladder from this morning. She also did Version B of our WOD today with good clean ring push ups and double unders. Your progress is awesome Jen. It is a joy [...] The judge, laying down the law. I get all choked up just looking at this picture. The judge is looking to see that the tallest person breaks parallel. Shoulder-to-shoulder overhead. Every time I think about it I smile. Do you know what sort of circumstances the CrossFit Works’ Team thrives under?? [...] Seriously. Weighted pullups just seem funny to me. I like figuring out how to attach the weights. It was like a weighted pullup fashion show in here this morning. Bryon’s 7am class had the metal plates roped around their weights in various styles that looked like belt buckles. How is it not cool watching Mike [...] Saturday morning, before the BBQ, we counted the final pushups and pullups for a couple of the women in the Get-Some Challenge. It was 9 weeks of dozens of strict pushups added, pullup bands dropped, and kipping pullups achieved. Great work ladies. Here are the winners: First Place: Patty Zucco- Carl’s personal training client $125.00 for Patty [...] Happy Birthday Karen B.!!!
Today, many of the CrossFit Works women completed the final bench mark workout of the Women’s Challenge. I admit to feeling a lump in my throat watching the pushups. Betty Fournier got 60 pushups-which just happens to be 2 more than her age!! Ellie did pullups. The Get-Some [...] 6am class was ALL WOMEN today. Cool, especially when we tackle the Lifter’s Lift-the back squat. This Lift is “dudes-grunting-under-the-barbell” in a way that sent many women straight away from the “free weight room” at the gym!! Not so at CrossFit Works this morning. We tackled it head on. The back squat shows up many [...] If you check out the highlight video posted at www.crossfit.com for last weekend’s SD/AZ Sectionals you will see a close up of Matt T. Check it out! There are a few people who will be out of town for the Official Women’s Challenge Final Benchmark next Saturday, April 10th. If you are one of those [...] Jen C., Christy, Midori and Anne-box jumping CrossFit Women! There was a heart warming article in the news this week. Well, heartwarming for me at least. It felt so rewarding to finally see an article about prevention. Most money spent on cancer research is regarding a medically-based cure for someone diagnosed with breast cancer [...] Hey Women of the Challenge! My son and I just did a completely statistically randomized drawing involving lists and dice. Just like Las Vegas. I wanted to honor the extra efforts being put in by these lovely Get Some Challengers by giving away a prize. Don’t forget Challengers-You have until April 10th to raise those [...] Check out the 6pm class as they listen to Dave explain “Fran”. Hilarious. I believe we should hold a contest for the best cartoon captions for each class member. Remember, for lots of these folks this is their first “Fran” experience. And-Andres’ 5:30pm class got a little surprise check on their progress in the Women’s Get-Some [...] 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 [...] One of my favorite, non-CrossFit women’s fitness blogs is Krista’s over at Stumptuous. She keeps an eye on all things dirty, heavy, real and womanly. She punches, lifts heavy weights, looks awesome and shares smart stuff. She brought my attention to a study regarding women on birth control pills and muscle building. This is an interesting [...] Look-All men!! I think they are worried about the outcome of the Get-Some Challenge Shout out to the Get-Some Challengers. I’ve seen you all working hard this week. Ellie-you are stepping up with a new level of committment and I AM EXCITED! Lots of pullups around, questions for your trainers-impressive. In this world of eating [...] |
