Wow it seemed hot out, I guess it’s just been so damn cold. You guys did awesome and a lot of you made some improvements on your kettlebell snatch today. It’s a tricky movement and it’ll take some time to dial in, hope no ones forearms are too beat up. Building on the back squats tomorrow. See you then. Cheers.

The Garage Games New England Firebreather Festival

So myself and Dani, Kristi, and Courtney headed down to the Garage Games competition at CrossFit New England this weekend. The 3 ladies competed while I was on the sidelines spectating/coaching.
