Great job puppies. Jill, Joan, and Juan (the J crew) be consistent, hold on tightly, and you will succeed.

Great workout everyone. CrossFit found a way to make Burpees suck even more... Add Thrusters. A deadly couplet that delivers serious carnage. We loved it.

Moving through this workout successfully relied on the Thrusters. If you could get them unbroken, even on the bigger sets, the Burpees were much more manageable. This is where scaling counts. 

Scaling allows you to keep going instead of resting every few reps. Rest is the enemy of intensity.

Good job Kathryn and Teresa. 14.1-14.5 booked!

Aside from a good chill in the air that provided the 0600 class with an excellent lung burn, the rest of us were fortunate to have great weather to be outside having fun with a few run repeats. Can you think of anything better? Me neither.

Good job and great runs you guys! We have some seriously fast runners with us and they got the chance to shine brightly by blazing the road and burnin' some rubber.  

Aside from how fast you run, we like to see consistency between the runs, each 800 within :03-:10 seconds of each other. Pace is key, go out too fast and the way home feels like it's all uphill. Go out too slowly and you risk finishing with way too much fuel in the tank. 

This is what you learn about yourself over time as you train at CFSF.

Thursday is an OS rest day. Use your extra time wisely. Open gym 5:15-6:15 for a missed wod, mobility, or skills. Mandatory puppy attendance!

Great runs guys and gals. Super fast finish Paul Moore! That may be a CFSF record.

A 5k run is the upper limit of what we can do well without even training for it. If you want to run any further than a 5k you'll have to train for it by running. What's our specialty? That's right. We don't specialize.

Another beautiful part of CrossFit is that we are pretty good at many tasks, not very good at any one task. We train across broad domains, and are ready for just about anything. Remember GPP?

We haven't talked about POSE running lately; here's a great article to check out:

Great job everyone. This was a heavy workout, at any scale. Good job holding on, and finishing strong. We had a bunch of monster efforts helping to provide good fuel and motivation for everybody. Thanks for those efforts! Most needed, and appreciated on Hero days.

This workout is named in honor of U.S. Army Sergeant 1st Class Daniel Crabtree, who was killed in Al Kut, Iraq on June 8, 2006.

Good workout everyone, and nice job scaling. Almost unimaginable at Rx.... Beast mode only. This workout taxed our shoulders and core, and after 250 Burpees our tickets for the pain train were punched. All aboard!

The Indian Overhead Tabata came to mind mid way through the last TGU's, as the need for a solid active shoulder was tested. Very few drills we do test that more than the Indian Overhead. Inability to stay active could be disastrous.

This workout is named in honor of  Los Angeles Fire Fighter Specialist Arnaldo Quinones, who was killed August 30, 2009 while conducting fire suppression activities outside the city of Palmdale, California.

On the inside label of a CrossFit shirt we found a workout called "Green beer and Burpees". It looked super fun, so we did it the following St. Patrick's Day and had a blast. That was 2009.

We have done it each St. Patrick's Day since then and it has since morphed into "Beer, Burgers, and Burpees". 

100 Burpees
Drink 2 beers, eat 2 burgers
75 Burpees
Drink 2 beers, eat 2 burgers
50 Burpees
Drink 2 beers, eat 2 burgers
25 Burpees
Drink 2 beer, eat 2 burgers

No seafood today. Good job everyone. Some got this beast Rx'd, some went sans food and beverage. The Burpees were the only mandatory component. Either way, THANKS for making it such a fun time.

Of all the thousands of CrossFit boxes all over the world, guaranteed, we were the only box doing what we did.

Great job everyone. As usual. This was a very tricky workout. Both exercises drink copious amounts of fuel, and require quite a bit of focus to stay dialed in and organized.

Which of the two exercises in this sweet little couplet gave you the most difficulty? Night crews agreed that the Box jumps beat the Deadlifts by a narrow margin.

This was also a nice reward for the CFSF anaerobs, who have gotten pounded over the last few sessions. Good job getting a little payback. Sometimes you're the hammer, sometimes you're the nail.

Which one were you?

Track what you do. Don't rely solely on the blog.

Thanks for the wicked good blonde brownie recipe Tammy. Yummy, and paleo friendly. Copies on the table. Also found good recipes for "Root mash", and "Meatloaf". Ask Sharon if you're interested.

Nice runs everyone. Super fast finishes Richard, and Abby. Caroline has the genetic makeup to become a total mutant. Be careful, and don't get her mad!

Good job hanging tough CFSF pure anaerobs: Megan, Paul, and Tammy. Kevin- how heavy was that ruck sack, and how much faster would you have been without it? Good job.

Those are all good finish times considering we don't really do a lot of running outside the warm up, or what pops up in the wods. The fastest mile time ever recorded belongs to Hicham El Guerrouj, of Morocco. He ran it in 3:43:13. The women's record is 4:12:56, set by Svetlana Masterkova, of Russia.

What do you think would happen to either of these athletes if we brought them into CFSF and ran them through 'Fran'? It might not be as ugly as you think. These athletes are sprinters, 'Fran' is a sprint. What would crush them would be a workout like 'Murph'.

We work across broad domains so that we are prepared for both short, and longer efforts. Our specialty? Not specializing at all.

 Good job puppies. Thanks for your hard work. Crawl, walk, run.

We talked about efficiency, and went over a few cues talking about what we needed to see and what we needed to avoid. Good job hitting ALL those targets.

It's on. April 5, 5:00 pm, downtown Anniston. CFSF has been invited to a throw down between all the local CrossFit boxes. We have room for 6-8 people on our team, and we need you to sign up soon. Here's the workout:

1k run
10 Snatches, 95/65
20 Box jumps, 24"/20"
30 Hand release push-ups
1k run
100 meter Farmer's carry, 53/44

This competition will be held on the Criterion race stage, and looks like a super fun, and fast workout. Even if you aren't competing, please come out and support Team CFSF.

Team members will be rewarded. Competition winners will receive $50.00, and three months dues at CFSF.

We're going to have a good time.

Thanks for another great day at CFSF.

A throwback from 2010

Tuesday, June 22 ‘RJ’

So I wrote another few chapters in the book of pain last night, and ran out of YBF.  We are tough athletes, all of us.  However, that rope is a little tougher.  We are going to have to keep getting skin, blood, and chalk on that thing to soften it up.

This was one of the longest, most difficult sessions we’ve seen.  Time was a huge factor at lunch, we ran out of it… Maybe some Saturday we can get this one again and have time for everyone to finish.

Yeah, there was some discomfort, a few rope burns, and blisters, and a twisted ankle, but the euphoria  experienced when I got done with this one was worth every moment that dragged on.  Heavy volume and heavy intensity… 

Usually we have one or the other, we got a two for one discount.

Wednesday looks like a good one.  Never been relieved to see thrusters before- that’s a new one.  GREAT JOB EVERYBODY!  Whether you finished this session or not, whether you scaled it, or ran it as prescribed-  HOOF*CKINYAH!

Not sure whether of not a good kick to the nuts would have helped anyway.

There is no better motivation to work hard than a hero workout. We worked hard, those runs stretched out. Good job everyone, and thanks CFHQ for a monster workout!

There were some fast finishes, and there were some that bordered on cruel and unusual punishment. Either way, THANKS for the super strong efforts and fuel required to finish this.

'RJ' was a fitting finish to a pretty tough training cycle. Tuesday is a well deserved rest day. Use your extra time wisely and do something that feels good and helps you recover.

Open gym 5:15-6:15. Drop in for skills. or a missed wod, mobility-flexibility, or because there's nowhere you'd rather be than CFSF. We understand.

This workout is named in honor of Veteran LAPD officer and United States Marine Corps Reservist Sergeant Major Robert J. Cottle, who was killed in Afghanistan March 24, 2010.

Thanks for choosing CFSF.

Enjoy.

There is that. You guys are all Tough Savage Barbarians though, nothing stops you. Good job getting a tough workout in tough conditions.

The lunch crew had options. Some made up missed wods, some got extra mobility. The night crews had fewer options. They got the mobility, but they also got a few rounds of the 'Modular' interval workout before taking on 'Randy' or 'Grace'.

Good job everyone. Thanks for your rigid flexibility.

Good job puppies. The 1:1 ratio of work to rest in the 'Modular' workout is no joke. Even though you had some fun activities to choose from, that's thirty minutes of love- ensuring that good lung burn.

Friday is a rest day. Open gym 5:15-6:15. Mandatory puppy attendance.

Thanks for another great day at CFSF.

Great job everyone. Way to hang tight through a heavy volume session. That's a lot of Airsquats, at any scale.  Did you stay locked on?

Good job on the Rope climbs. Everybody has learned the brake, and both climbing styles. Next time there are Rope climbs in the wod, you guys are climbing!

Nice work also on the Ring dips. Dips are difficult enough, throw in multi-planar movement and we're grooving. We took Bar dips, Paralette dips, and a few negatives. Everything counts.

The donations have started rolling in for the new C2. We'd like to have everything ready to go by 140403.

Nice workout everyone. Thanks for your patience, and rigid flexibility. We're on it. Launch date: 140403

Did you remember power versus frequency while you were rowing? We talked about keeping the row times within :05-:10 seconds of each other every round. Did you? If so, good job. If not, work on pacing. Kathryn has a great row workout right in front of the rowers. Try it.

We had some sub 4:00 rows from a few people. Outstanding. That's power, and efficiency combining to go fast!

We have talked about the perils of improper form and positioning on the GHD's. Say yes. Did EVERYONE remember that positioning for GHD Hip extension and GHD Sit-ups is different? Remember, you said yes already.

How about that super strong quad contraction on the positive phase of the GHD Sit-up. Got it right? Right.

ATTENTION!

The 0600 class will be canceled Wednesday.

We have talked about this in the past, but never followed up on it. We are now. We are going to start a C2 Rower fund. If 25 of us contribute $20.00 CFSF will match it and we can purchase a new rower.

The Savage Race is coming up next month, we have a few people going. Join them and have the time of your life. This is like a Tough Mudder, so you CFSF Tough Mudders step up. Check in with Paul M. for details.

We have a new litter of puppies at CFSF. Keep your eye on them and help them along. Kortnei, Klare, Jill, and Joan, we are glad you are with us. Crawl, walk, run, in that order, and you will succeed.

The BBB v.6 is approaching. Sign up if you are doing it. Sign up sheet is on the table at CFSF. Sunday, March 16, 12:30. Remember the only thing mandatory will be the Burpees. Everything else is voluntary.

Thanks for choosing CFSF.

Good job everybody. Nice Handstands, and Deads. Most are getting comfortable upside down. If you're not, get some inversion time. Remember hollow positioning.

"The Deadlift keeps company with standing, running, jumping, and throwing for functionality but imparts quick and prominent athletic advantage like no other exercise."
-Coach Glassman

Monday is a rest day. Open gym 5:15-6:15 for a missed wod, or mobility, or to just haze the FNG's. OK- just kidding. No hazing.

Use your extra time wisely. Do something that feels good and helps you recover.

Thanks for another great day at CFSF.

Affectionately known as the "F" word at CFSF, 'Fran' eats hearts for breakfast, lungs for lunch, and a muscle smoothie for dinner. She showed up hungry, and ate well.

We put up a really good fight, and gave her what 'fer.

Great job everyone. Monster time Russell. You took one minute off last run. In CrossFit time that is big. HooF*ckinyah! and THANKS for the fuel.

What's the fastest 'Fran' time you've ever seen? We watched Miko Salo complete it unbroken in 2:14. Craazy fast. If you aren't Miko, scaling is key. The only way to have a fast time is to scale wisely. Otherwise, intensity is lost.

We need intensity. Embrace it.

Good workout everyone. Monster point totals Abby, Richard, and Casey. Good job. Eric- a 99 point increase from 2011 when this first popped up. Better, faster, stronger.

Since there was no sub for the Doubles in the wod, we ended up with a few people doing 'Annie', which allowed them to get some good Doubles practice. Get a rope and practice anytime you get a chance. Hollow. NOT extended.
