WOD: Wendler: Week 3 – Press 10 minute AMRAP:15 Power Cleans 96/6530 Lateral Bar Hops Post results/thoughts to comments Awesome job today everybody. Those of you who are doing the Wendler stuff are really seeing your hard work come to fruition already with some strong sets. I think many of you looked at the board this morning and didn’t think much of the met-con. I think you all found it to be a wicked burner. Great job everybody. Keep up the good work. Cheers.

You guys all did awesome and all gained something out of the challenge, leaner, stronger, faster, and an overall healthier body. If you missed out we will likely be doing another one in September. Congratulations to the top 3 who walked away with a little cash in their pockets. Cheers.

2011 CrossFit North East Regionals

Trevor James and Kelly Steadman both competed at the Northeast Regionals this weekend and did an amazing job. After qualifying just on the bubble in 60th place (only the top 60 from the open qualified) Trevor showed up ready to go and finished in 15th place, just 1 spot shy of rolling over to day 3. He did an amazing job, and will continue to be a force to be reckoned with at the ripe old age of 19. Kelly tore it up all weekend, showing everyone why she is a beast by winning the event. She will be going on to the CrossFit Games in California. In the meantime we will be doing everything we can to help her prepare and we are so pumped to see that she did so well. On a worldwide scale, out of all the Regionals she…
