The movie clip is from “Vision Quest.” Chance was asking about this movie, and it’s excellent timing.  The Open is about lifting up humanity through sheer will and human connection. Monday at 10am will be the drawing of the teams for the CrossFit Oakdale Open. Please text Alison at 209-345-4380 to let her know what category you are in if you are signed up or plan to sign up: Black – RX – You basically do all workouts RX.  Maybe not Muscleups, but pretty much everything else.  Maybe you are not great at everything, but you are a capable, fit human. Red – Kind of RX, Kind of Scaled – You can RX many workouts, but some advanced moved like Doubleunders, Chest to Bar Pullups and Handstand Pushups are always in your way.  This year, anyway. White – Scaled – Generally, you perform all workouts scaled.  For now, at least....Read more

If you have been around on the MisFit Complex Days, you may have seen some people focusing on the transitions between the movements. This is our goal tomorrow. You may not get as heavy on the lifts, but try and transition cleanly, smoothly and even a little flow-like tomorrow as you go through the complex.  Monday’s schedule will have Mobility class at 8:30am and WOD at 9am.

Don’t forget to sign up for the Open! Monday will be a 9 am only day, with the assigning of teams after class.  This is one of my(Alison) favorite WOD’s. Long workout…chipping away…you can blame me. Check out this post from 2014. FEBRUARY 19, 2014 We’ve done today’s WOD,  “Jonesworthy” before.  It’s not a great Open prep – I don’t really think we’ll see KBS or air squat (well maybe air squats), and pullups will likely be chest to bar.  But every WOD doesn’t have to be a prep for something else, sometimes it just is what it is.  This one is tough conditioning and a grip smoker. Jonesworthy appeared on CrossFit.com in 2004 – it’s nearly 10 years old!  I’ve attached the comments page – some of the questions are funny, even if we hear the same ones 10 years later.  Like, “didn’t we just do this?” or “pullups...Read more

You may have noticed some videos of CrossFit Oakdale coaches floating around the inter webs.  We have been encouraging you to sign up for the CrossFit Games Opens and being on “our team.” What is this whole team thing?  Well, Brad, Denny, Tricia, Tim and I (Brian) will each have a “team” during the Open.  This requires nothing other than signing up and doing the workouts.  What it will do it give you a smaller team, and a direct coach to help you strategize, be better prepared, have a motivator or a shoulder to cry on if they make us do a million thrusters. Here is what you need to do: We want the teams to be balanced.  To do so, classify yourself in 1 of 4 categories. Black – RX – You basically do all workouts RX.  Maybe not Muscleups, but pretty much everything else.  Maybe you are not...Read more
