I discussed the workouts with my heads of judging today and the looks on their faces were one of excitement and Continue ReadingWod Leak #3
Hmmmm OK.. SOOOOOO we mentioned in our post on facebook something about using a trail behind our location AND then we know that after that trail is potentially used, you may be throwing heavy objects from the ground..... to somewhere towards the ceiling....
Don't be fooled by this hint. Be aware THIS WOD is based solely on individual power output curves. In other words, hoepfully you are looking at what a Force Velocity Curve tells you and where you might produce Ideal power for this wod.
Oh, and it might be a quick one too.

Dare to be great..... A motivational Post
Imagine yourself looking at the whiteboard. you look at the movements and think to yourself- CRAP... muscle-ups How am I going to get through this workout? Maybe if you are checking out CrossFit for the first time, you might be telling yourself, man this gym is really intimidating because everyone works so hard. maybe if you just finished the ramping up program and you're ready to answer questions, you are thinking to yourself " am I REContinue Reading
WOD Leak #2
Alright, here is WOD Leak #2-
(This one MAY be slightly obvious, but it's OK)
You may have to pick heavy things up several times. When you complete the task, you may have more movement than you know what to do with. It may take you less time than you think to complete this part of the WOD, however prepare because after chilling for a minute, one of your favorite girls comes back to rear her ugly head.
Something to think about........

Wod Leak #1
Here is a WOD hint from the mind of the Wod Designer:
It may feel like you are going as fast as you can, but really, you are getting nowhere fast. I wish there were water all around me when I was doing this though. After that, I have to get up in the air as long as I can? Hmm how can I do that?
Our Workouts are designed to require basic skills of CrossFit up until the final WOD. The final WOD will require more advanced skills within the realm of CrossFit. The design of these workouts is intended for All to be able to complete the movements if they have gonContinue Reading

What is SMR?
SMR stands for Self-Myofascial Release.
Self-myofascial release can be likened to self massage. Our muscles tighten up from a variety of causes, but there are 3 common ones:
Trauma
Overuse
Dehydration
The three of these work against functional movement by locking the muscles attached to a joint or causing heavily worked muscles to stick to the nearby muscles and tissueContinue Reading
