Even though we were Snatching, and even though we had to get three reps, this was still a great strength workout that most were relieved to see. Thanks CFHQ!

Great job everyone. We had a couple of targets set: Patience (timing), and positioning. THANKS for your hard work, thanks for hitting those targets. We also talked about the progressive nature of CrossFit, and how an exercise like the Snatch can expose flexibility, and stability issues that only you can address through added mobility and flexibility training. 

So, if you come in early for a class, as we expect you to, you can work on these. This is also why we have Open gym- this is an excellent time for added mobility-flexibility training instead of another wod. The mobility-flexibility will, by far, benefit you more.

All Olympic lifts are technical and require high skill levels. The Snatch requires this and more. Of the 10 general physical fitness skills CrossFit develops, Snatching hits most, which makes it an incredibly effective tool for developing athleticism. This can only happen over time through consistency in training.

Bonus points if you can name the 10 skills...

Great job puppies, you learned the first part of the Burgener, and you're Snatching! The Snatch is an excellent example of how several movements when combined add up to something else all together. From the Set-up through to the finish the cues, targets, and objectives we've talked about from your first day at CFSF blend into one smooth movement. Beautiful isn't it? Yes.

This workout was less about how much, and more about how well. We did have a monster lift- nice work Russell. You are a beast. That's good fuel too. Thanks!

Thanks for another great day at CFSF. Thanks for your hard work, and thanks for choosing CFSF.

CRE, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance, accuracy. That's a pretty good one-stop-shop.
