Thanks again for those who quickly adjusted their schedule today. Big shout out to Alice Properties and Jason Davis Electric for bringing our space into a new light. Literally. If you hit the afternoon classes, you will have noticed there is no longer BLINDING light when hopping up to the pull-up rig. Insert super happy emoji here. No more darkened corner pull-up rig either – no place to hide:) Don’t forget to stay up to date on the Facebook Group CrossFit Oakdale Strong.

The first stage of the CrossFit Games took place in the strange world of COVID restrictions. There was still great drama and some great surprises. Justin Medeiros, originally from Lodi took 3rd and will be competing on a grand stage in one month. We did the Fran and Diane workouts on Friday and Saturday. They were very tough workouts, but doable. The versions of Annie and Nancy were probably not possible to complete as prescribed in any viable time cap for 99.5% of the worldwide CrossFit community. The strict deficit HSPU in Diane were gnarly, but 75 Overhead squats at 185/125 (with almost 2 miles of running) and 15 cleans at 275/185 (along with 150 GHD situps) make these workouts pretty tough. That’s not to say we won’t do them! Everything is scalable – we will save Nancy for Saturday – I think its a 30 minute one – and...Read more

Soooo, we were training to do Fran in the near future. Then CrossFit goes and throws a workout like “Friendly Fran” on the board. This workout ain’t Friendly and it ain’t Fran. Yes, it’s thrusters and pull-ups. Yes, it starts with a round of 21. But that’s where the similarities end. First, the bar is 15% heavier than Fran. Second, the pullups are chest to bar. I think the difference between a pullup and a chest to bar is a big deal, but it isn’t huge. Well, over 63 instead of 45 reps it may be. You can do small sets, take small breaks and you may not bury yourself. The chance if ripping increases a but, but what the hell. I do think the weighted thrusters may make your life difficult. Thrusters in Fran should be done unbroken. Or as close to it as possible. I do not endorse...Read more
