Good times! If you don't have a rower you can sub 400, 600, & 800m Runs in place of the row. As a sidenote, the run takes away from the impetus of this workout due to the partial rest the body gets in the run. There's always a method to the madness, so the row adds insult to injury, both in the use of the same muscle groups as used in the deadlift, box jumps and continuing the metabolic impact that the box jumps provide.

The USAW will be holding a Level 1 Club Coach Certification course on July 10-11 at Body Tribe Fitness in Midtown Sacto. This will be a great course to attend to better understand and teach the Oly lifts, especially at $395. I would highly recommend you have some Oly lift experience and training prior to attending this course as it would help the learning process and make it easier on the instructional staff.
Recently we had the pleasure of having Ray Gunter drop in while in town for some family business. Ray is an F-16 pilot stationed in Idaho and is also the creator and owner of Strike Labs.com. For those of you with a Droid phone who want a very good exercise tracking app, Ray has designed one for cheap that can be picked up at his website. It can be tweaked and customized to any workout program you may be following. Check it out here or in our links!

A lot of folks ask me about artificial sweeteners in their foods to add some taste. I occassionally use them, but try to keep it to a minimum. HERE is a great article from Faction Strength & Conditioning regarding artificial sweeteners. Their homepage also has an interesting title piece about bacon and sex.....yeah, I bet that got your attention and their website hits just went through the roof.... pure marketing genius!

This is Lidia Valentin from Spain. I love these pictures as they capture the moment of full triple extension. She has created upward momentum on the bar using the violent opening of her hips up and slightly back. Her arms are straight, meaning the legs and hips are doing the work until the bar reaches it's upward apex. The slight layback will cause the bar to travel in an upsidedown "J" so it lands over her midline and on top of the shoudlers as she fires the elbows forward by rotating around the bar and pulls herself under the bar a split second after these pix were taken. Thos are two separate pictures but you'll notice they pretty much look exaclty the same - that's amazing consistency through practice.
Oh yeah, this clean is about 250+ Lbs.... Yup, your "man card" has just been taken by Lidia....

The course will cover the fundamental movements from CrossFit and then some, biomechanics, programming, dietary info, stretching, and corresponding workouts. This course is a great tool to better your athletic and health know-how as well as ease people into the program. The cost is $125 and is payable by cash, credit/debit or check. If you or anyone you know are interested, please contact Allison to reserve your spot with payment!
Saturday classes will now kick off at 9 AM, thanks to Rob. Rob has graciously offered to come down and open the box early to start the WOD's on Saturday mornings. Use it or lose it! Thanks, Rob!

Well, I attempted to PR on my deads and press yesterday...and I failed miserably. Unfortunately these things happen...so if anyone else experiences this, don't worry...It just means we need to train harder for the next lift!
P.S. Have a treat for the attempt...I had a piece of cake...ummmm, good!" Posted in CFC WODs
