Great job everyone! 300 points has been a CFSF target when we first saw FGB in 2008. We had a few guys get really close, one guy made it, and one guy smashed it! Outstanding total Richard Turner! You are a beast. Congratulations Casey, at 307. Russell, Eric, and Paul- super close. The only reconciliation would be to get 300 next time.
Great workout CFSF Ladies... There were a few of you that were really concerned about this one. No worries, you did great and excellent job going Rx'd! Tammy, Teresa, and Candice, 200 is the girls goal- *ding* monster efforts at 268, 233, and 230. Mighty Atom, excellent work- you were so very close! Next time, right?
For the uninitiated, you have gone through a CrossFit rite of passage and completed one of the toughest workouts we do. Thanks for your hard work. Be pleased, not satisfied.
CFSF says good bye to a couple of super strong magnets. Richard, and Abby. I hope CrossFit Thelo can hold you two, Richard says you're going to stagger so maybe it'll be safe for them. Your fuel will be missed, and thank you both very much for all you that you've contributed to CFSF over the years you've trained with us.

Friday is the last training day of the month, and the last chance to train until Tuesday, September 2. We will stay on schedule with Day 2. Enjoy the break, use it to give your body some time to recover completely. Come back fresh, ready to roll strong.
Again, great job everyone. Thanks for all those efforts, and fuel.
After running him through FGB for the first time, Coach asks BJ Penn, who is lying in a pool of sweat, squirming around trying to catch his breath, "Is that anything like a fight?" BJ Penn responds, "It's a FIGHT GONE BAD!" and FGB is born.
We're fit. You're unfit.

Rigid flexibility is what gives us permission to stray from the path periodically, and the fact that only a handful of people can perform Muscle-ups, so we had a few options.
Option 1:
SMMF
1) 1x HSPU every :30 for 50:00 minutes
2) 100 Curtis P's (HSC/LR/LL/PP)
3) Karen (150 WBS)
4) 100 Casey Fairbanks
Option 2
Modular:
10x :30/:30
Bungee run Helix
Rope whip Ball slams
Burpees Sit-ups
Jingle-jangles Tire slams
Karen
150 WBS, 20/16
JJ- 12:48
Casey- 8:37
100 Casey Fairbanks
Todd McK- 16:55
1x HSPU every :30 for 50:00 minutes

Eric- (2 HSPU every :30 for 25:00)
Mary- 102**
Candice- 101**
Todd- 101*
Teresa- 69*
Great job everyone! There was one guy who attempted the wod as Rx'd and got through 9 rounds. Great job Eric Heath. You are CrossFit! Casey and Todd also got a little MU love after finishing their SMMF workouts. Do more be more. Good job guys.
Usually seen the last week of the Winter Circus, the Modular workout is always a blast, and like 'Helen', or 'Cindy' is one of our go-to workouts when we need a sub. The 1:1 ratio is a lung burner of the first order, and if you really put out your tank will be near empty by the time it's all over.
We get three, sometimes four cycles in. For the CFSF hardcore the Modular workout becomes an Energizer Bunny commercial because these guys just go on, and on, and on.... Brad, Corey, Jimmy, Mike, the NSW guys, Group guys, PATRICIA, and the many others who've cruised through CFSF that exemplify CrossFit- we love and miss you.
Thanks for another great day at CFSF. Thanks for your monster efforts and wicked good fuel. FGB is next!

Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas? We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too."

Great workout everyone. Lots of *PR's bring good energy with them, and when people are getting *PR's it motivates everyone else to work harder. That's good energy that we all benefit from. Thanks for those monster efforts.
Very nice squats Tammy, and Tommy. You both are STRONG! Nice work puppies- you went snipe hunting. Find any?
Strength days are where, over time, you begin to learn a few things about yourself. Most people have never pushed themselves to failure before CrossFit, so just becoming comfortable knowing that the goal is failure is a big step.
Following the crawl, walk, run model we need form first, consistency second, and finally intensity. Heavy lifts are intense, and crucial for growth. Work is also relative, so how much is heavy? How much weight is too much to add from set to set? How much time should I rest between sets?
There are "ranges" for all of these, but how much you lift, add, or remove, and rest is a subjective quality and has everything to do with you. We keep meticulous records, you know exactly what you did every day at CFSF, and this is why. You know where to start, and what to shoot for based on what you've done in the past.
This is consistency in training, and where the true benefits of CrossFitting are realized.

Tuesday is another well deserved rest day. Use your extra time wisely. Open gym 5:15-6:15 for a missed wod, mobility, or both. Take care of your business. It belongs to you, and you will be rewarded by increased comfort, and performance. Take the time.

Great workout everyone. This almost turned into cruel and unusual punishment for a few folks- way to hang on, literally, through to the end. The addition of a new exercise took it's toll on us, some people who have never had a tear before got ripped today. Why? A much different dynamic on the bar than we're used to.
We are used to linear movement on the bar, not lateral. The only thing we do that involves any sort of rotation on the bar is the 'DC special' and even then our hands to not experience the same forces they did with the 'Hanging hip touch'.
CrossFit- 14
Hands- 0
To our defense, there was a lot of improvement from the first round of 'Hanging hip touches' to the last round, and the next time we see these, and we will, they'll be much more manageable.
Most will agree that the running Farmer's carry was where things got dicey. Those dumbbells grew heavier and heavier. Traps, grip, forearms, everything checked in during that run. The 1:15 class caught a nice break with the overcast weather. It was so hot that a few of the rubber DB's used during the 12:30 class actually melted!
Big THANKS to Todd McK, and Russell.
This workout is named in honor of SOF 1 Kevin Ebbert, who was killed November 24, 2012 in the Uruzgan Province, Afghanistan. This is the same unit and these are some of the same Team guys we know from CFSF. Both Kevin and his father Jeffrey were U.S. Navy SEALs.

Great workout everybody! This was twelve minutes of love that left most of us on floor-lock for a while. Bonus points for staying on your feet at the end. Another CrossFit time warp that was, as usual, very potent. Most EP's will agree that it's very difficult, even for well conditioned athletes, to maintain high intensity work for much more than twelve minutes.
So, for the skeptics, you'll just have to trust us. Twelve minutes was plenty.
We talked about a few things we wanted to see while Snatching- thanks for hitting those targets, and thanks for your hard work. One or two people in the gym really putting out monster efforts helps push everyone else on to higher levels of work, and it's beautiful to be there when it happens.

Great job everybody! This was a pretty high skill workout, both the Burpee pull-overs, or Skin the cat on the bar, and the Handstand holds require huge levels of the two things we hear about most: positioning, and stability. These can be wrapped into a nice package called organization- NOT what happens to a guy when he flips over the bar backward organization, but the kind of organization that keeps us dialed in AND locked on, or in total control of our body.
This is easier said than done, and can only improve with consistency in training. Stay neat and clean, when you are fresh, and when you are MOST fatigued. Don't succumb to bad form, ever. This is the path to success, don't sell yourself short, and ALWAYS respect the movement.
There were two subs for the Burpee pull-over: One was a Burpee pull-up with a rollback, the other a Burpee skin the cat on the rings. There was no sub for the Handstand hold- good job going upside down everybody. If you are still uncomfortable while inverted, practice more. Embrace the suck. Inversion is actually one of the more manageable things we do at CFSF.
Friday is a rest day. Use your extra time wisely and do something that feels good and helps you recover. Open gym 5:15-6:15 for skills, mobility, or a missed wod. Take care of your business.

Great job everyone. We have some seriously strong people at CFSF: Russell, Megan, Eric, and Teresa- monster lifts! Nice lift Mighty Atom- BW OH! Strong stuff.
Nice job puppies. More feathers in the quiver. Alan- great work and attention to detail. THANKS! Caroline, Alex- thank you both for your hard work. Push jerk is next.
For everyone else living in the median- good job. You are the mortar that holds everything together at CFSF. Not the first, not the last; always finishing, always putting out 100% effort. We know who you are, and we appreciate you very much!
We talked about the dip: knees forward, weight on heels, no chasing the knees... We talked about the final overhead position- ACTIVE. We also talked about the importance of retracting the C-spine upon launch, and protracting C-spine on finish (head through the window). Good job hitting those targets.
We also put a big emphasis on an extra tight, fully braced core. This one lift both ties together and reinforces the need for solid positioning and stability. Lose one and the lift is done.
The Savage Race is coming up- September, 27th, in Georgia. This is a great event with the same obstacles and less distance than the TM. We have a team from CFSF already together. If you are interested check in with Paul for details.

Yes. You read correctly. Although some of us are still cold from the TM in 2012, we are going again. May 2015 also in Georgia, and yes, we have a team together already.

We have been looking at the Sugar WOD app as a substitute for Trackmypr. Still working out details. The BTWB portion of the Sugar app is NOT free, so we may not use it. Until then, Trackmypr is a web-based platform that can support smart phones, and is completely free, so use it!

Great job everyone. We have some seriously strong people at CFSF: Russell, Megan, Eric, and Teresa- monster lifts! Nice lift Mighty Atom- BW OH! Strong stuff.
Nice job puppies. More feathers in the quiver. Alan- great work and attention to detail. THANKS! Caroline, Alex- thank you both for your hard work. Push jerk is next.
For everyone else living in the median- good job. You are the mortar that holds everything together at CFSF. Not the first, not the last; always finishing, always putting out 100% effort. We know who you are, and we appreciate you very much!
We talked about the dip: knees forward, weight on heels, no chasing the knees... We talked about the final overhead position- ACTIVE. We also talked about the importance of retracting the C-spine upon launch, and protracting C-spine on finish (head through the window). Good job hitting those targets.
We also put a big emphasis on an extra tight, fully braced core. This one lift both ties together and reinforces the need for solid positioning and stability. Lose one and the lift is done.
The Savage Race is coming up- September, 27th, in Georgia. This is a great event with the same obstacles and less distance than the TM. We have a team from CFSF already together. If you are interested check in with Paul for details.

Yes. You read correctly. Although some of us are still cold from the TM in 2012, we are going again. May 2015 also in Georgia, and yes, we have a team together already.

Great job everyone. Really great job if you chose the more difficult path and went with the Clean. We have learned to give slack with this debate and leave it up to the athlete as to which they choose: Full squat clean, or Power clean.
The Full squat clean is prescribed because it is a generally better movement than the Power clean. Not only is it more total work, there are greater requirements for coordination, accuracy, agility, and balance. The ability to explosively open then immediately close the hip both requires and develops tremendous athletic ability.
This is why we train.

Nice runs everyone. Good job just showing up for this one- we knew it could get ugly, and it did. Sometimes you're the nail, sometimes the hammer. We were hammered today.
Good job Casey, and Paul. You guys kept going, and in Paul's case kept going for another 3 miles! Do more, be more- personified.
Monday is a rest day. Open gym 5:15-6:15. Use your extra time wisely and get some love. ICE, massage, any mobility, or flexibility training you can think of (and there's a lot to choose from)- ANYTHING that feels good, and helps you recover.

Great workout everyone- second verse just like the first- Good job going Rx'd Russell! The only Legless rope climbs too. We won't split hairs on seated or not.
This workout is named in honor of U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Jeremy Border, assigned to the 1st Battalion, 1st Special Forces Group (Airborne) who was killed on September 1, 2012, in Batur Village, Afghanistan.
This is the same group many of our Special friends are from.
Thanks for another great day at CFSF. Good prioritization on a beautiful Saturday morning made more beautiful by a super fun workout.

Great workout everyone, and outstanding work Russell- as Rx'd. After considerable debate we decided that once you came off the bar your set was done. We did have a few guys squeeze in a couple of extra reps after the unbroken set. If this was you, extra good job for wanting and getting more.
We used a special formula to distill this workout down to a single number, and it paid to go as heavy as possible today. This ability to quantify everything we do is just another part of CrossFit that separates us from any other programs.
As usual, we talked about a few things we really wanted to see with the Cleans- thanks for hitting those targets. Impatience, and inefficiencies were punished severely, and lowered rep totals substantially.
Thanks for your hard work and super strong fuel. Thanks for another great day at CFSF.

Great workout(s) everyone! This was a deceivingly difficult workout, at any scale. The addition of a row, and the urgency of a two-minute cap changed the workout profoundly. Even strong 'Cindy' people had difficulty with this.
This workout punished both the aerobs, and the anaerobs. You had to be solid with PT, which most anaerobs aren't, and solid on the row, which most aerobs aren't... Hence the pounding of both. Beautiful isn't it? Yes.
The mesos had it made today. Good PT, and good rowing meant good numbers. What is a meso? They're the middle of the road people, able to perform both aerobic, and anaerobic work efficiently. Most people are one or the other, more aerobically or anaerobically inclined. More rare are the people that do both well. These are the athletes that dominate events like the CrossFit Games, or Decathlon, where speed and power are needed.
Everyone agreed that the 6th and 7th rounds were the worst, and the numbers justify that statement. A few people went out way too fast and never caught up, while others maintained relatively consistent numbers from the first through the last rounds. We like consistency.
Thursday is an OS rest day. Open gym 5:15-6:15 for a missed wod, mobility, or both. Take care of your business- your're worth the time, and your body will thank you.

We love new stuff at CFSF. And while this isn't exactly a new exercise, it's the first time we've seen just the Sumo deadlift portion of the Sumo deadlift high pull since we started following the CrossFit main site programming in 2009. All and all, a pretty interesting day at CFSF.

Great lifts everyone! Monster lifts Russell, and Megan! Fuerte! Clearly, the Sumo deadlift is a favorite right off the bat, and there are several reasons why: the wider stance set-up allows us to get closer to the bar while maintaining proper positioning, which tall guys like, and the distance the bar has to travel is shorter.
If there were any negative criticisms it would be about grip. No knurling on the inside of the 'O' bars means grip goes quickly. We didn't talk much about this, but did anyone use the "hook grip"? If you can wrap your thumb with your first and second finger, or "hook" it you'll save your grip.
Practice the "hook" grip. If you can't wrap with both fingers, at least wrap the first. The Farmer's carry, Cleans, and Deadlifts are all great opportunities for you to practice.
Great job buttercups, and puppies. You are all killing it! Thanks for those wicked strong efforts. That's good fuel, and the contribution is very much appreciated. Everything starts somewhere, good job getting past the apprehension of the new. It gets better as you go. Just keep going.

Great job everyone! Outstanding workout Russell- at prescription, and fast. That is the goal- fast.
With the high humidity breathing was an issue with a few people. You'll get acclimated to this, and the temperatures before you know it. Just remember the rules... you can take a :10 second rest ANYTIME you need it, but no longer. Whether you're breathing or not...
Intensity is our friend, and inherently uncomfortable. Nobody likes working under high intensity conditions, understandably. But over time, with consistency in training we become less uncomfortable in these intense situations, and get used to it.
However, if your workout doesn't frighten you a bit you're not training hard enough. Does anyone else pucker up a couple of blocks away while driving to CFSF on heavy days?
Welcome to CFSF Alex, and Caroline. Thanks for your hard work and attention to detail. Crawl, walk, run- in that order and you will succeed. If you succeed, we succeed. Pretty cool, huh? Yes it is.
Go hard-sleep well.
Thanks for another great day at CFSF. Thanks for your fuel, energy, and enthusiasm. You are all awesome!
Every day, every moment- take every opportunity you're given.

Good job everyone. At any scale this was a beast. However, we did have a lot more Muscle-ups, and GHD sit-ups than before. Continue practicing these. In the warm-up, every fifth Pull-up is a Muscle-up. With Abmat sit-ups, perform half on the GHD.
This stretched out like bad Jersey shore taffy. As usual, pace was key, then it's over just as quickly as it began- you're lying there in a pool of sweat, too tired to squirm. Pure bliss. Remember to clean up your sweat angel.
We get a rest until Monday. Be ready.

Row repeats are almost as fun as run repeats, but make no mistake, this dog has teeth and will bite. The first rest period most people stood around, the second rest period people sat down to stretch a bit, by the third most were flat on their backs.

Great workout everyone! The fastest rows of the day belonged to Paul, and Russell at 1:37. The fastest row of the night was Richard who clocked in at 1:36. That's fast rowing guys- good job. The fastest row of the day for the CFSF ladies was Carrie at 1:59. Nice work Carrie, and oh so close Abby, and Candice.
We always talk about consistency before beginning these repeats. The last should be within :05-:10 seconds of the first. Go out too fast and coming home hurts. Efficiency is key, followed closely behind by pace.

Great workout everyone! Casey, Eric, Russell- good job Rx'd. Wicked strong Weighted pull-ups Caitlin, Candice, and Teresa. You six athletes would be an unstoppable Tug-of-war team for CFSF.
This workout was a PT lover's dream, even if you detest PT we get enough through our warm-ups to adequately prepare for these workouts. Pull-ups and Dips are a large part of CrossFit and nothing stops cars like girls on bars getting pull-ups.
Very few CFSF buttercups can perform either a single Pull-up, or Dip. One of the really cool things about CrossFit is that within six months of training, these people are killing both. CrossFit works! You just show up and work hard. Add paleo into the equation and you're cooking with gas!

CrossFit programming is beyond reproach, creative, and most of all FUN. Even when your workout is as grueling as it's ever been, you have to admit that when it's over you feel GOOD. That's fun. This workout was just that- really fun, and very creative. Loved it. Thanks CFHQ!

315 pound Deadlift, 3 reps

Max reps Burpees

You have one minute to complete the Deadlifts, and Shuttlle run, using the remaining time to perform as many Burpees as possible. Burpees are counted and combined with the Deadlift as a score.

Great workout everyone! We all know how CrossFit can bend time, and 2:00 minutes sure went a lot faster toward the end than it did up front. Good job holding on through all ten rounds.
CFSF is smack in the middle of an urban jungle, right beside the hobo highway. Cars, scooters, pedestrians, and an occasional dog have all been targets to avoid ANYTIME we leave our sanctuary. CFSF was a bad parent. We sent our runners right out INTO the street for the Shuttle run, fortunately no near misses, or horn blows even.
The danger was actually inside where the Shuttle runs were a bit more cramped. As long as you watched your line you were ok. However, we did have one impact that resulted in a couple of bloody noses because Jesse was pushing people out of his way.
Great job puppies. Thanks very much for your hard work. Deads were spot on. Good job buttercups too- next time you can work the negative. Then it's on. Crawl, walk, run. Be pleased, not satisfied.
Wednesday is a very well deserved rest day. Open gym 5:15-6:15 for a missed wod, extra mobility, or skills. Take care of your business- your body will thank you.
Thanks for another great day at CFSF

Great job everyone! We have talked about power over frequency with the rower and today is where it counted. Powerful strokes go a lot farther a lot faster than fast pulls. If you were pulling too fast you were smoked early. Did you keep your row times within :15 seconds of each other? We like that consistency.
The Squats added up. This is where we have to be most careful, after four rounds of Squats, when we're really gassed is when we have to stay dialed in. Missing cues costs fuel. Inefficiency is punished- always. Fifty is a lot. Did you have a plan? 25-15-10 works well. Some just go until they need to rest, which is fine as long as the rest is less than :10 seconds.
The Back extension cue was "bendy". Some people are still having trouble with hip placement. Remember that hips are fixed and we have a dynamic spinal column- one of the few times we surrender the lumbar curve. A lot of people still want to "hinge" from the hip, which is not Back extension. Adjusting the GHD's takes about :05-:10 seconds max. Take the time.
Put these three exercises together and we have a heavy hitter. Good job holding on tightly to the end.

Most of the Cold Water Challenges have been completed. We only have a few more to go. We have to put a time cap on this so we are giving everyone to the end of the month to get it done. Remember that CFSF is matching of the total donations made by our members.

Great job everyone. This workout was all about the Doubles, which use an incredible amount of fuel, and if you aren't dialed in, you'll be wasting a lot of that precious stuff. We have plenty of fast ropes available. Get measured correctly and practice Doubles. As far as the suck factor is concerned, Tuck jumps rank right up there with Burpees.
How about the Thrusters? When they are the easier part of the workout we're in trouble. Inefficiencies were punished today, and if you forgot any cues you were working harder than you needed to. While we love hard work, and hard workers at CFSF, efficiency dictates we work smarter, not harder.
As we enter into the warmer months, please remember to bring a towel with you to CFSF, and please clean up any sweat, spit, snot,or blood you leave behind with a sanitizing wipe. CFSF thanks you for loving your gym.

Great workout everyone. One of the things we like to see is with a workout like this one is consistency between the runs. In the past we've put a :10 second buffer in place with penalties for going over- which means all the 400 meter run times should be within :10 seconds of each other. What's the penalty? You guessed it. One Burpee for every second over :10 seconds.
Were your runs consistent?
Big THANKS to Casey, Eric, and Teresa.

Great workout everyone. One of the things we like to see is with a workout like this one is consistency between the runs. In the past we've put a :10 second buffer in place with penalties for going over- which means all the 400 meter run times should be within :10 seconds of each other. What's the penalty? You guessed it. One Burpee for every second over :10 seconds.
Were your runs consistent?
Big THANKS to Casey, Eric, and Teresa.
Abby, Casey, JJ, Marissa, and Paige- Congratulations on stepping up and completing the CWC!
Thanks for another great day at CFSF.
Every second counts.

Some people were surprised at how difficult the Hang power snatch turned out to be. The seasoned CFSF vets knew better... This was tough! Loved it. Thanks CFHQ.

Great workout everyone. Nice job Russell- you caught the snipe. Three other guys came within one rep of 135 but didn't get that elusive fifth rep. Outstanding lift Teresa- this was the last chance, a prior fail required a little more mental fortitude, so after getting psyched up a bit, she made the lift. Resolute determination. That's good fuel.
This was a grip destroyer of the first order. Good job holding on through to the end. This workout also showed a lot of people how explosive their hips can be. With a fraction of the range we have from the floor, the Hang power snatch forces us to explode out of the dip, otherwise we miss the lift.
We also talked about pulling under instead of pulling higher. Did anyone practice or use the split stance to receive the bar? You might find it easier to pull under with this stance. This workout was less about how much you moved but how well you moved it.
Good job puppies! All three Press varieties are locked. Now time to dial in and begin to get stronger. Thanks for your hard work and attention to detail.
Track what you do.
Thanks for another great day at CFSF, and thanks for the super strong fuel that drives all of us.
