It’s time for a new cycle of programming. The next four weeks will be focused on other benchmarks other than CGO (CrossFit Games Open) workouts: regular squatting, snatching, and pressing days, with pulling and gymnastics sprinkled throughout.

I think with the mask mandate lifted it might be time to program running back into workouts as well. BE PREPARED. And don’t cherry pick. That said if you prefer to NOT be around folx with unknown vaccination status we’ll always have row/bike/ski/jump rope options for you inside our facility.

WORKOUT for Monday 3/14/2022

5 rounds for max total reps:
max touch-and-go sumo deadlifts, 45/70/100kg
max toes-to-bar

Post score (max total SDL/max total t2b) to whiteboard!

New noon classes on the schedule: BODYBUILDING and ENGINE on Mon/Wed/Fri

BODYBUILDING is where you take your training to the next level for muscle and joint development to continue pushing your other training forward.

ENGINE is where you increase you cardiovascular endurance and muscular stamina so you’re not huffing and puffing all the time. Even though our ongoing classes provide you constantly varied functional movement at a relatively high intensity, sometimes low intensity over a long period of time is necessary for your heart health.

Check out the schedule on PushPress and RSVP to try them out next week!

WATCH: Inside Westside Barbell, Powerlifting’s Most Exclusive and Controversial Gym by VICE Sports

In the dead center of Ohio, inside a dingy warehouse littered with weights and what looks like torture devices lies powerlifting’s most controversial and exclusive gym — Westside Barbell. Founded in 1987 by Louie Simmons, the gym is now a legend in the powerlifting and strength sports world thanks to the methods and training machines Louie has developed, and the 140 plus world records the gym has broke in competition.  However, Louie and some of his lifters hold very unapologetic stances on steroids and their use of them, and this has left the gym mired in controversy.    We traveled to Columbus, Ohio to meet with Louie and some of the lifters at Westside to talk with them about the culture of the gym, Louie’s renowned training methods and their use of performance-enhancing drugs.
