Another Action-Packed Weekend

Gil and his wife had a beautiful baby girl three days ago!

Yesterday we hosted OUTwod Seattle AND it was Tony’s 75th birthday (those Asian genes keep him looking young!)

And we also had some athletes representing FCF at the 2017 Cascade Classic, this year at Magnuson Park (near the home of the original CrossFit North)

Training this week includes thrusters/toes-to-bars, rowing, a running chipper, ANGIE or something like it, a barbell complex, CGO 13.2, kettlebell swings & burpees, a farmers workout!

Pausing Below Parallel

Brett jumping

As we humans get older, it’s a fact that we become more fragile.

A very common injury (and fear) is slipping or falling because of what comes out of it: head injuries like concussions and traumatic brain injuries, hip fractures, back and spinal cord injuries like slipped discs, dislocated shoulders/elbows/wrists, sprains, strains, and fractures.

Whenever we have to put our hands down to plank, to crawl, to rest, we work on getting better at our connection to the ground.

Burpees are the best example of this. We program these not only as a great conditioning exercise, but because you’ll have confidence falling down, and the knowledge tin getting back up.

Deads, Dubs & Barbell Snatches

Carlos G

It’s important to value INTENSITY over VOLUME in the grand scheme of training. When you come across something fairly short in time (10:00 or less), then your goal is hard and fast. Don’t let up because you feel like it- putting ourselves in positions of discomfort are what take us to the next level!
