Keep up the practice on the double-unders, the only way you’ll get them is if you practice. Hope lots of you make it in tomorrow. Cheers.

WOD: Back Squat:5 @ 65% of 1RM5 @ 70% of 1RM3 @ 75% of 1RM3 @ 80% of 1RM1 @ 85% of 1RMMax Reps @ 90% of 1RM If you’ve done this cycle before add anywhere between 2.5-10lbs per set, across the board. Add the same amount to every set. AQAP:Row 2000m Post results/thoughts to comments Nice work on the back squat todays everybody. A bunch of you hit some PR’s, and then got to lay down another PR on the row. 2K row is a great benchmark and and an extremely hard one. Myself, Dani, and Trevor will be gone for the next few days, so there likely won’t be any website updates. Hope you all get in and get some good workouts in. Cheers. Feeling the pain of the 2K Travis pulling hard Our newest On-ramp group done, hope to see you all in classes right…

WOD: Jump Rope Practice: 10 minutes 4 rounds  – 4 minute AMRAP – 2 minute Rest4 Hang Power Snatch 95/658 Toes-to-bar12 Lateral Bar Hops/side Post results/thoughts to comments I saw at least one person click on the double-unders today. Keep practicing everybody, they will come, and don’t give up, learning them is healthy for both your mind and body. Way to rip through the met-con and cycle some fast rounds, keeping that heart rate up and getting some serious work done. Hope to see lots of you tomorrow for a little benchmark action. Cheers. Jordan has one On-ramp class left but she’s been hitting classes as much as she can in between Phillip and Nate working through the Toes-to-bar Another packed class at 5:45 PM….27 people last night, 25 tonight. A reminder that next week the evening schedule will change to 4:15, 5:30, and…

WOD: Push Press: 5-5-5-5-5 6 minute AMRAP:1 Squat Clean 155/1053 Games Push-ups2 Squat Cleans 155/1056 Games Push-ups3 Squat Cleans 155/1059 Games Push-ups…and so on until 6 minutes is up Rest exactly 3 minutes 3 minute AMRAP:Burpees Post results/thoughts to comments Awesome job today everybody. I think I saw at least a dozen people hit PR’s on their push press, that’s awesome. Moving more weight makes you stronger, and being stronger makes everything in day-to-day life easier, and remember stronger doesn’t mean bigger. You all did awesome in the met-con, and I think it was a great example of how effective CrossFit is. Let someone tell you that you can’t get a workout in 9 minutes, you can all prove them wrong because I know you all did today. Keep up the good work. Cheers.

We’re Moving

So if you didn’t already know I signed a lease and Champlain Valley CrossFit is moving. Construction, or rather demolition started on the space the end of last week and I stopped by today and was psyched to see everything that has already happened. I’m hoping we will be good to go in 3 weeks. I’ve decided to make an enormous jump from our present to this space, enormous in every way possible. With that we currently have an amazing community that has grown from a few people out at Dorest Park. I can only hope that it continues to grow and hope that Champlain Valley CrossFit has your continued support. Support as our athletes, support in bringing new athletes in, and support in befriending one another and creating the best damn group of people around. You all know the space we have…
