They won't go up immediately but if you get a chance, come check out the new ropes. We have three of the one posted in the pic and a single unmanilla (similar to the ones we had but synthetic). Let us know what you think?
14:10 rx'ed. Did pushups in sets of 5 throughout.
Sprints were fun, and sorry to anyone I almost mowed over. I was on a mission to catch some people after struggling with the pushups.
Now I am left with the question of will I be able to lift my arms tomorrow...
today was most defintely a mental workout, as it is most days at CrossFit. Shelley and I had some frustrations. Once we felt comfortable breaking the snatch lift down into 3 parts, we thought putting it together in one motion would be easier, yet we both struggled with weight that we know is possible for us to do.
After debriefing our workout we have a much better understanding of what we're doing and what we need to keep doing. We've done the weight before therefore it shouldn't have been a problem, BUT, before we muscled it up into a snatch any ugly way we could and called it successful.
well that's just not good enough anymore. good is not good enough anymore. I want to get that weight up, but I want to do it correctly. Safely. The way the move was intended to happen.
We'll get there Shelley, we are getting closer, can't let old habits hold us back and we have to keep pushing that uncomfortable feeling until it feels right...and then we'll have more work to do :-) vicous cycle!
Also, be sure to check out the CFO Nation page...going to get swimming started on Thursday and Sunday this week from 6-7pm. I can take up to 5 people per class. Message me to let me know if you're interested and I'll get you the rest of the details! have a good day guys!

Nice noon class today. It was also an exceptional running warmup as well. Nice job bring back memories of college track practice coach Westerlin. Pingle ought to like it as well.
My advice to anyone (novice, elite or somewhere in the middle) is to nail technique as much as you can. Strength will only take you so far, and it's far easier to do it right in the beginning than to correct bad habits later. We've got amazing coaches and other athletes that are always willing to critique/provide feedback.
You know you can't out train a bad diet, and the same holds true here in training. You can't out muscle a barbell/physics.
Stumbled into a small group from 4:30 that decided to also do a 1200 run after the class. Bonus? :)
I really enjoyed this one. Way to go, Libby with using the weighted vest....damn girl!
Great job 6:30 and great coaching Addi!
But I want to thank coaches and everyone at the gym I'm very glad I joined.I also encourage every one to push me, yell at me, correct me, heck kick me to do things right. I don't care if its about "snaking" a push up, or cheating a movement or even doing my own (like yesterday I did a no squat, snatch, shoulder press) anyway thank you all for welcoming Nicole and I to you'd group.
Finished 14:16
