Amanda. At some point during this session I wondered who comes up with these beautiful combinations of exercises? This was another fun session that required serious gas.
'Amanda'
Three rounds of:
9, 7, 5 reps
Muscle-up
135 pound Snatch
Dan- 75 18:30
T- 85 15:25
John- Rx 18:42
Great determination and persistance with the muscle-ups, Dan. That is great motivation that pushes us on. Really good fuel. This was a monster session scaled. As prescribed almost unbelievable. Heavy weight.
These athletes we will see from the Games are incredible, and are great examples of what can happen with strict adherance to the paleo diet as well as killing the wods on a consistent basis.

Saturday, May 28 'CF Games 3'
The second session of the weekend turned out to be the third session from the Games. What about the second? This was, as prescribed, a monster. We don't even have a thirty inch box....
21, 15, 9 reps:
315 pound deadlift
Box jumps, 30" box
Brent- 185/24" 6:35
Tonya- 105/24" 8:56
Dan- 225/24" 6:49
T- 225/24" 9:34
This was a heavy session and it will be interesting to see what the top tier CF athletes get this one done in. We still have one more session to look forward to, and it should be another good one.
We will roll Sunday at 12:30, then it's off for the rest of the Memorial Day weekend. Please take every chance you have to thank a Veteran, and keep the servicemen and women in forward positions in your thoughts and prayers. Freedom is not free. It has been bought and paid for by the blood and lives of brave men and women willing to make the ultimate sacrifice.
These colors to not run.

Wednesday, May 25 'CTB - L-sit'
Once again the "looks easy" theory held true. This session looked benign on the board, but a few minutes in it became apparant that this too was a mother grabber.

15 chest to bar pull-ups
:30 ring L-sit

Pull-ups
Emilee- 6:53
Lisa P- 5:30
Great session everyone. Really good pull-ups, and everyone is making good progress on the L-sit. Add rings and the stability factor goes through the roof. This couplet was a great marriage of two core busting exercises, and it delivered.
Great session Emilee, and Lisa P... Just glad that arm stayed attached. Peligrosa, por favor.
We are on our original schedule this week which makes Thursday a rest day. Not an off day- There is bonus work, with an assignment for 'The Horde'... Git 'er dun.

Hit the Mblog and spend some extra time on tight or sore bits and pieces. Ask someone to give you a nice back massage too. Thanks for the susper strong efforts, and great fuel.

Tuesday, May 24 'Row/push-ups'
Another part of CrossFit I love is that one day you're the hammer, the next day you're the nail. This was a fun little couplet. It's been our experience to observe that most couplets are not as fun as this one was. The prescription was for a 50 meter swim instead of the row. We had few options, other than crashing the Y's pool for a while. Maybe next time...
5 rounds:
150 meter row
25 push-ups

Thanks for your patience with the rowers. Luckily, the 150 meters only took about :30 seconds of all out rowing, so we weren't jammed up at all. We'll put another C2 on the Christmas list.
Rowing requires efficiency. If you are wasting movement, you are wasting energy. If you haven't heard the row tutorial, ask about it. Great information that when applied brings row times down. When introduced to the C2, most people focus on a high stroke frequency with a low powered stroke. With practice, you will be able to match a powerful stroke with a higher stroke frequency, enabling even better performance.
We are one month away from The Barbarian. Continue preparing by getting the rest day runs. Add some hills. Throw in a little PT every mile, squats, push-ups, plyometrics, anything you can think of. If you have a sturdy tree to climb in, climb in it. Do some bear crawling around in your back yard. This is going to be a fun four miler.
We are also embarking on our one year anniversary in the newer, bigger CFSF. It has been a great year. We will have some special sessions next week to celebrate. If you have any favs, let us know. Otherwise.....

Monday, May 23 'Double unders - Snatch'
Efficient double unders don't come easy. They require practice, agility, endurance, and coordination. We have some guys that make them look easy- good job guys. IF you aren't where you want to be with the double unders, take a little time before or after the wod and practice.
7 rounds:
35 double-unders
1 snatch
One attempt at the snatch per round. A missed lift will not count.

Great job guys. This was a good session. Did you make the best choice? Now that it's over, I am glad to have chosen the double unders. They have been a problem for way too long, and this session forced some major improvement.
Great lifts John, great round total Bart, and super fast row Tonya. You guys are strong, and getting stronger by the week.
Thanks Jedi Knight Beth D. for the gymnastics practice after the night sessions. We have some really good gymnasts beginning to bloom right before our eyes. Great instruction Beth, and great gymnastic skills. Our improvement is obvious, from rolls to bridges, free handstands to cartwheels, and pop offs... Great stuff.
Part of CrossFit's success lies in it's ability to throw you into novice classification so frequently. The skills base is huge, the learning curve steep. Some are willing to put in the time and practice and embrace the suck. Those who do not eventually just stop coming back. Progress is muted without the willingness to start at the beginning and go from there. We cannot jump onto the middle rungs of the ladder. We must climb up from the bottom. The skills are acquired during the climb.

However long, this was a fun session. By the last reps of the last rounds those ring dips got dicey. Great job on getting solid ring dips guys. Yes, I too had the strap burn. Just didn't show for an hour or so after. Ouch.
I want to take the opportunity to thank Chris, Tonya, Sam, Houston, and Madison on their efforts to get the airsquat locked down. Good job guys. Your hard work is evident. Be pleased, not satisfied.
This session is named in honor of Canadian Forces Private Colin Wilmot, who was killed in Afghanistan on July 6, 2008 from injuries received from an IED.

Super strong session John and Beth. Close second Dan. You guys are all STRONG! We had several people refining their kips sans load, and doing well. Sam, Tonya, Brandi, Holley- great progress, learning to open up those hips and FLY!
The Madman, along with Joey, decided to do 'The Viking' as a warm-up. Hoof*ckinyah guys. Good job. Didn't get Joey's time but Madman finished the full session in 47:30. His second mile was a little slower due to the fact that he ran carrying a beautiful young lady (85# duffel bag) that he grabbed after destroying the village. Ah, the spoils of victory.
The mobility wod has had some great information on hot knees lately. Check these out and take care of your business. Mobilization takes very little time and effort, yet the benefits are incredible. We are hitting the pavement more, so sore knees, shins, and hips are easy targets for relief. Get some!

Wednesday is a rest day, not an off day. Thanks again Chris. Also big thanks to the Madman for taking care of our patch of lawn out front, giving us better access to the pole of power. Just don't abuse it... Take some time and get the rest day bonus work. If you are doing the Barbarian, get the run/walk as well.

HOW TO MAKE ALMOND FLOUR AT HOME
Many paleo diet recipes call for almond flour. Here's how to make your own, and save some cash.
Good luck!
Monday, May 16 '5:00 AMRAP-deads/push-press'
Aside from our warm-up, a five minute workout may be unfathomable to some. When we see a five minute workout we understand what will follow. It feels a lot longer than five minutes when you're in the thick of it too...
5:00 AMRAP:
275 pound deadlift, 3 reps
115 pound push-press, 7 reps
Eric- Rx 5 + 3 PP
DT- 165/95 4 + 3 deads
Chris- 165/95 4

John- Rx 7 + 1 deadlift
Holley- 95/45 4
T- 225/105 6
Tammy- 185/65 5
Super strong session guys. As usual, at prescription for the mutants in training. This was a real gasser. Just five minutes, huh? Longest five minutes in a long time. This was a great session though. Fun combination, and the timing allowed for full on intensity.
These are two very functional exercises that are dominated by hip power. The transmission of power from the hips to the bar is made more efficient over time with practice. Hip power also demands rooting from the heels... not balls of the feet. Activation of the posterior chain power potential takes a lot of time and practice as well.
We had a few rack races using the med ball and Scott W finished first with a time of :11.1 seconds. Good job Scott. Rack races are fun, and they involve coordination, accuracy and agility. Three of the ten general skills of physical fitness that CrossFit delivers. Pretty good.
Thanks for another great day of training and conditioning at CFSF.
Altius, citius, fortius.

Super strong session guys. As usual, at prescription for the mutants in training. This was a real gasser. Just five minutes, huh? Longest five minutes in a long time. This was a great session though. Fun combination, and the timing allowed for full on intensity.
These are two very functional exercises that are dominated by hip power. The transmission of power from the hips to the bar is made more efficient over time with practice. Hip power also demands rooting from the heels... not balls of the feet. Activation of the posterior chain power potential takes a lot of time and practice as well.
We had a few rack races using the med ball and Scott W finished first with a time of :11.1 seconds. Good job Scott. Rack races are fun, and they involve coordination, accuracy and agility. Three of the ten general skills of physical fitness that CrossFit delivers. Pretty good.
Thanks for another great day of training and conditioning at CFSF.
Altius, citius, fortius.

Sunday, May 15 'Front squat/HS walk/Sit-ups'
We have got to get more handstand practice. I think the high wheelbarrow we did was more work than the handstand walking would have been. None the less, we need to get those free handstands, and handstand walking.
Three rounds:
95 pound front squat, 21 reps
Handstand walk, 40 ft.
30 GHD sit-ups
Handstand walk, 40 ft.
We took the session a bit easier than normal, only one person went as prescribed and timed it. Madman got it in 19:35 Great job. Also great job Candice for carrying the longest legs in the place. You guys are a good team.
We had several other teams, Bart and LJ, Teresa and Tammy, and Houston and Madison, who by the way, locked down the final pieces to the airsquat. Super job guys! This was a fun session that turned out to be a gut buster.

Friday, May 13 'CrossFit Total'
These sessions should be as gassy as any met-cons we do. There is no clock, which means we have time to recover fully, however, we are maxing out. That should be everything we have. Nothing left. We strive for failure. Many had PR's while pushing toward failure. Good job!

Super great session everyone. Really strong lifts, across the board. Did you have a favorite? What about least favorite? Are you cultivating a super strong core? Each of these lifts requires a solid, well braced core. The transmission of power from the hips to the upper body demands a strong core, otherwise the lift is missed, or worse, you are injured.
Saturday is a rest day. Rest. Recover. Sleep as much as you can. Feel better. Be ready for Sunday. Thanks for all the great efforts. Thanks for all the fun.

For the first time ever, our pack was large enough to stop traffic. That's right, as the pack approached 15th street, the cars stopped in both directions to let us cross. I was in the goon squad and saw the whole thing.
We also had a fun little 100 sit-ups for time. Great job Casey and Dan, fast times! You guys tied for first place. This was a monster session. Where did you struggle? For me, the run stunk. Bad juju. The muscle-ups actually were better than ever. Attributable to lots of tape and chalk, for sure.
The sub for the muscle-up is three pull-ups and three dips. That's 21 of both each round! Get the muscle-up. We have seen guys QUIT because they couldn't get a muscle-up and were unwilling to put in the time to learn them. Get the muscle-up. If you can pull yourself up to the rings, you can get through the hole. Get the muscle-up.
Thoughts are with Alice Ann and Eric as they eagerly anticipate the arrival of their baby, who appears to be just as eager to see them. We love you guys, and are sending love vibes your way. Great to see Scott W and his son Bryan, another future CrossFitter in training, at the night session. Come again. Sam, Houston, Inman, Scott O- you guys are all doing really well. Drink the kool-aid...

Great session everyone. This was a long, grindy sorta thing on a hot day no less. Am I the only one that feels like the dumbbell hang squat clean was the only thing we did? Maybe because they're so much fun, huh?
We had a few subs, for the overhead squat we subbed the front squat. For the double-unders we subbed singles at a 3:1 ratio. Practice the exercises you subbed. Get better.
A few people rolled off the clock, getting their feet wet, and becoming used to the CF tempo. Good job guys. You are learning new things every day, and doing well. The curve is steep. Dig in. Be patient and consistent.
Super session John and Casey. Going as prescribed. Heavy duty stuff. You guys keep the bar up there. Also, great job Houston and Madison. You two are much more organized now! Keep up the good work. AND STRETCH OFTEN!

Thank God for guys like them....
Monday, May 9 '20:00 AMRAP'
Twenty minutes. Just twenty minutes. Easy reps, 5, 10, 15. This should be another great workout from CFHQ. Wait a minute... Just about half way through this thing I realized that this was a beast. May be heavier than it looked? Yep.

So who's ready for some more kettlebell swings? Yeah, me too. I'll take a rain check on that one. Kettlebell swings are serious gassers. Technique, hip power, and good lungs help. Every now and then, pick up big boy and play with him. He makes all other kettlebells feel light.
We had a crowd at both the lunch, and the night sessions. Thanks for your patience. When it gets crowded be ready for the session to run in heats. First people to arrive will be in the first heat, those arriving after will be in the second heat. That will give everyone time to warm-up, get some mobs, and then 3,2,1, GO!
We had return visits from a few guys. Liking the kool-aid, we hope. Great job on making it back. Many do not. "Too hard", or "My knees hurt," or "I have no time for it in my schedule..." We have heard them all. These people would just take up valuable space and time. Ready to lead, ready to follow. Highly motivated people are who we want, and need.
Tuesday is a rest day. Not an off day. There is bonus work, and there is an assignment for 'The Horde'... That's right. We have got to start getting some rest day runs in. This is an easy one. Twenty minutes of run/walk on any intervals you want. We have seven weeks to get prepared. Be ready for some side work during the week as well.
Thanks for another great day of training and conditioning at CFSF. You guys are great and you make CFSF the coolest place to train. Thanks for the efforts, thanks for the super good fuel.

Anchors and Magnets
We have observed that there are two basic types of people: Anchors, and Magnets. Anchors, with intention or not, bring others down. Magnets, on the other hand, bring people up. Which are you, an Anchor, or a Magnet?
I suspect that if you are reading this, you are involved with CFSF, which means you are probably more of a Magnet than an Anchor. Magnets are motivators, inherently lifting everyone else up around them, pushing them to work harder or just keep going.
That's another part of CrossFit that makes us special. We cultivate Magnets.

Thursday, May 5 'Griff'
We have seen some interesting things done backwards in the past, 'Backwoods Cindy', 'Narf', and a few other nameless pieces, but we have never done 'Griff' until now.

This was one of the most fun CF sessions I think we've seen, maybe ever. We had some really fast runs, Dan, Joey, John- good job guys. How about those calves? Quads? Anybody feelin' the love? Running backward is definitely interesting. Changes things quite a bit. Pretty cool, actually.
CrossFit is about triumph in the face of adversity, rigid flexibilty and all, but we had traffic for the first time. Everywhere! 14th and 15th Street, and the alley... Of all the times to be out running backward, this really wasn't a good one. Thanks for the recon Beth, great info that kept the red juice where it needs to stay. Also thanks Joey, and Dan for guiding the stragglers in, of which I was one.
This session is named in honor of USAF Travis Griffin, who was killed in Iraq in 2008.
Thanks for another great day at CFSF. Friday is a rest day, not an off day. Hit the bonus. Rest, stretch that tight PC, and be ready for Saturday.

Thanks for another great day at CFSF. Friday is a rest day, not an off day. Hit the bonus. Rest, stretch that tight PC, and be ready for Saturday.

Wednesday, May 4 'Front squats'
While more functional than its cousins the back and overhead squat, the front squat is a difficult lift for many people. Bad rack. Soft core. Quad dominant movement. All recipes for disaster. However, when things are dialed in and locked on the front squat not only looks great, but serious weight gets moving too.
Front squat 5-5-5-5-5
Tonya- 95
Tammy- 100
Sam- (Frankenstein squat) 95
Eric- 225

Good front squats guys. We talked about a few things we really needed to see taking place, and everyone hit them, really well. The front squat can expose serious flexibility issues, so continued work on the shoulder girdle and arms. Bit by bit, with consistency over time, is the key with mobility and flexibility. Added both equals better racks, much better overhead positions, better rock bottoms, you name it and it'll probably be improved also.
So a few of the CFSF crew have signed up for the Barbarian Challenge in Gadsden's Noccolula Falls Park. The race is Saturday, June 25. We are in the 10:00 am horde. It's not too late to sign up so if you feel barbaric, join us. Gonna be a seriously great time. http://www.barbarianchallenge.com/ YOU MUST BRING YOUR ID/DRIVERS LICENSE!
Motivation, as defined, is the act or instance of motivating. Motivating is to provide with motives, or impel. At CFSF we value motivation, and people that are motivating. Joey is that guy for us. Thanks Joey. Great fuel, great motivation. Motivation is also contagious, catch it and spread it around.
Thanks for another great day at CFSF.

Tuesday, May 3 'Jeremy'
We were reminded of the "easy theory" again. 'Jeremy' delivers gas. At prescription, a beast. Scaled still smokes buffutes!

Great session guys. Fast time at prescription John! Madman back strong. Big D did him right. This was a heavy session. Burpee's and squats, either front or overhead, is a dangerous combination. Maybe not quite as dangerous as beer and chain saws, but scary enough.
For everyone still learning and practicing the overhead squat we subbed the front squat. One of the worst things that could happen when learning the squat and all the squat variants would be to move to the next level too quickly. Mastery of the airsquat is required before moving up the ladder of difficulty.
The night crew is getting some seriously good cash out gymnastics practice. From back bridging, to back walkovers, to back extension (which looks NOTHING like back extension...more like a roll back and over into a freaking handstand, John) and a few more fun things thanks to our Jedi Master, Super Beth D.
This session is named in honor of Jeremy Bloniasz who was killed July 6th, 2006.
Just a word of thanks to everyone working so hard. From skills, to gymnastics, to just going balls to the wall- THANKS! Your hard work, committment, and energy makes CFSF flow. Congratulations Danny W. on passing the yellow belt kata, and mastering the tying of the belt. Sam, thanks for working so hard. Just remember to bring your water with you. No more long walks to the table...

Find some mobilities that you like, find a few you hate. Do them all. Use your balls of pain, foam rolls, rolling pins, anything that works to achieve comfort and flexibility. Your body will thank you.
Chasing performance and having fun doing it.

Just an idea of what these guys go through on their journey to become Frogmen and protect us. These men deserve serious respect, and gratitude.
As you watch these videos, ask yourself just what are you willing to do, and how hard are you willing to work. Train hard, stay focused, and above all, have fun.

OK guys, the Madman brought this to my attention, but how many of you would be interested in the 'Barbarian Challenge' in Gadsden's Noccalula Falls Park, June 25?
If you are in, let CFSF know and we can get it!
Never heard of the 'Barbarian Challenge'...

Sunday, May 1 'Ring row/bench/B squat'
This thing just looked kinda ugly on the board. However, it turned out to be another super session from CFHQ. Thanks a lot.
5 rounds:
15 ring rows
15 bench press, 155 pounds
15 back squats, 225 pounds
Dan- 155/135 19:33
John- 155/175 24:20
Holley- 35/50 21:32
T- 125/135(10) 20:20
Eric- 155/185 27:15
Good session guys. Great bench presses, and solid squats. Those ring rows are deceivingly difficult, and by the fifth round I was feeling like lead. They were a welcomed change from some of the other pulls we've seen.
Monday is a rest day. Use your time wisely. Get the bonus. Get some additional mobility or some stretching, or all of it. You have the entire day to do it....

Saturday, April 30 'Jackie'
'Jackie' is another CFSF favorite. The row can take too much fuel, which makes the Thrusters feel heavy. Paced rowing, and you're set up for a good rest of the workout.
'Jackie'
1000 meter row
50 Thrusters, 45 pounds
30 pull-ups
Dan- 11:51
Brandi- 18:45
LaRunda- 16:10
Scott O- 16:45
Holley- 19:44
T- 9:30
Great session guys. Way to tough it out Holley and Brandi. This is a fun session. Mfake no mistake, 'Jackie' is tough, but the one and done thing really helps out.
Dip you have a plan, or just go until you couldn't go anymore, then rest? If you can push past that initial need to stop, things can get surprisingly better in just a few seconds. Rest at the wrong time, and starting up again will be increasingly more difficult. So just keep going.....

Friday, April 29 'Moore'
Another great Hero session, 'Moore' includes a couple of notorious exercises that can be intimidating. Rope climbs, and handstand push-ups give more people butterflies than just about anything else we do. No worries.
'Moore'
20:00 AMRAP
15 foot rope climb, 1 ascent
400m run
HSPU max reps
#HSPU Rounds
Chris- 32 4
Tonya- 10 5
DT- 21 3 + rope climb
Tammy- Rx 37 4
Brandi- 29 3
Brad- 36 4 + rope climb
Beth- 36 4 + rope climb
Eric- Rx 50 5 + rope climb
Scott O- 25 4 + rope climb
T- Rx 22 5 + rope climb
Great session Eric! Solid HSPU numbers. Tammy, Beth, GREAT JOB! Tammy turned a few heads climbing up and down the rope, and actually almost caused a wreck when a carload of fellas had to slow way down to make sure what they were seeing. "Girls on ropes?" They must have wondered....
This session is named in honor of Indianapolis Metro Police Officer David S. Moore, who was killed in the line of duty January 26, 2011.
Thanks for another great day of training and conditioning at CFSF. Thanks for the great fuel. Thanks for all the fun on the last Friday night of the month.
