Liberty means responsibility.  That is why most men dread it.  ~George Bernard Shaw, diagnosis Man and Superman, nurse “Maxims: Liberty and Equality,” 1905 Freedom is nothing but a chance to be better.  ~Albert Camus CrossFit Oakdale expanded a bit yesterday: we knocked down the wall, and now have access nextdoor.  This will greatly expand our work space, but it will take a while to get used to it.  We don’t have flooring in the new space yet, but we should have something soon.  We plan to continue to use the adjacent space as storage, but by all means, if you feel cramped, take your barbell/equipment onto the concrete. This area will primarily be used as storage for now, but it will definitely add space to our little gym. Workout of the Day   Strength/Skill Snatch Warm up, building to 75% of your 1RM.

The Tough Mudder is coming up, this site and we have several Athletes at Team CFO that are taking on the challenge.  I love the Tough Mudder, treatment more so than some of the other events.  Some of these events feel like a glorified 5k with flat tracks and a few obstacles.   The Tough Mudder is a little different.  The obstacles are tough, but usually, the whole course is an obstacle.  Constant hills, rugged terrain and even attitude can be a major challenge. Of course, I believe CrossFit is the best way to prepare for these events (high rep squatting translates directly into hill climbs).  That being said, I also love training outdoors.
