We will be hosting another Friday night weightlifting seminar with Denny at 6:30pm. The loft will be: snatch – snatch balance – overhead squat. This complex will require you to lower the weight to the back. Being able to control the weight down to your neck is a skill in and of itself. If you have not done this before, no worries. You will get to practice. Keep it light. Practice receiving the weight on springy knees. This snatch complex is an outstanding way to develop the slot in which you catch the barbell. See you there!

CrossFit.com posted today that we are 100 days out from the Open. Time to get our poop in a group. We haven’t been able to have our token competitions where movement is judged critically. Because… you know… pandemic. We have always taken a tremendous amount of pride in having great movers who meet the standard that CrossFit sets out. This is another chance to renew your focus on mechanics and consistency. We are good at the intensity piece. Get your costumes ready for the Open Competition!

To those whose lives were lost here or abroad, we thank you. We have the utmost respect for all who have served. Our Hero WOD today will be “Josh.” Dedicated to U.S. Army Staff Sgt.
