Those 1 & 1/4 Front Squats will help you all develop some solid power out of the hole as well as teach you to keep that chest and elbows tall. Hadn’t broken the dumbbells out in a while, so you guys got to toss them around today. Way to push hard today everybody. Keep it up. Cheers.

From the Members

Many of you know Mike, and some of you don’t. Regardless he’s been a great athlete and individual to have in the gym, and while we are sad to see him go, we all wish him the best of luck. He left the below note for us, and it makes me feel lucky to have such an amazing group of people here at Champlain Valley CrossFit. Jade, for the website if you feel inclined to post it:To the fire breathing CVCF community,First off, I want to thank everyone at CVCF for making that place what it is. I have been to several CF boxes and CVCF is definitely the greatest community I have experienced. I dropped in the first couple times while my life was in crazy transition after hurricane Irene. I remember how welcoming everyone was and how much my stress level…

WOD: 5 rounds w/3 minutes rest after each round:200m Run10 Squat Clean Thrusters 95/6515 Burpees20 Walking Lunges These should be max effort. You should see slowing times in your intervals. Do not game these. Post fastest interval, slowest interval, and cumulative time from start to the finish of your 20th lunge on the 5th round.Post results/thoughts to comments Everyone got worked today. This was a tough one for sure and you guys all rocked it. Nice job. Those squat clean thrusters were brutal and I think everyone generally felt like their legs were made of jello when they went out for the runs. Great work, hope to see lots of you tomorrow. Cheers.
