WOD: “CrossFit Open 12.4”- 12 minute AMRAP:150 Wall Balls 20/1490 Double-unders30 Muscle-ups Post results/thoughts to comments Whether you were the top athlete in the gym or have been CrossFitting for a few weeks you all did awesome today and battled through a tough workout, even if it meant just 12 minutes of wall balls. I was so pumped to see so many people come in and throw down this evening. Some amazing performances were had by you guys and you should all be proud of your performances. Somehow we didn’t snap any pictures today, so with that check out the video below…it may not be your thing, and while the example, bodybuilding, may seem silly to you, the words in the video should apply to everything you do in your life. Think about what you do, and how you do it, and think…

WOD: 10 rounds – Complete 1 round every 2 minutes:5 Squat Snatch 95/6510 Pull-ups20 Double-unders Post fastest and slowest split as result Post results/thoughts to comments Awesome work today everybody. A number of people scoffed at the board today thinking the workout would be easy, but many found it to be super tough after a few rounds. So many of you did so awesome on the pull-ups using less or no bands, and the snatches continue to get better. Remember, slow and steady wins the race, the olympic lifts aren’t learned over night, so don’t expect them to be learned over night. For those not competing I hope to see you tomorrow. Cheers.

First and foremost, before this gets thrown up this is not geared towards anyone in particular. With that said, lately, more and more people have been showing up late to class. 5, 10, 15 even 20 minutes late. It is extremely important to us that you show up on time, one so the class runs smoothly. If you show up late it stalls the coaches, the warm-ups, etc and gets things rolling behind schedule. We only have an hour and generally class is programmed to use every minute of that. Secondly and probably more important we want you to show up on time for your safety. If you’re going to be at the most 5 minutes late think about taking your time and spending some extra time rolling out and stretching and waiting until the next class or consider bypassing the strength work…

I saw a bunch of you hit PR’s today on the back squat, and it was awesome to see everybody out tearing up the run. Remember to focus on solid push-ups, be strict on yourself and they will pay off. See you all tomorrow. Cheers.
