Pressing is continuing to get stronger and you are all making great gains. The double-under practice from yesterday definitely helped some of you out a bit today. It was awesome to see so many people in, 70 or so in the gym today. Keep up the good work everybody. Cheers. Berk repping out on the bench Damon and Bob hitting the air squats – Jade

The CrossFit Games

Just wanted to say congratulations from everyone at the gym to Kelly Steadman who competed at the CrossFit Games this past weekend. While Kelly primarily trains at her house, she has been in a little to train with us and did the Open with us, plus she lives in good old Vermont so it’s awesome to see our little state represented. She wound up 14th place, just missing the final cut to the last workouts. Congratulations Kelly. – Jade
