Deadlifts - are to be done unbroken. Touch and go only. If you pause at the bottom, you must restart your set.


A BIG thanks to Lisbeth from CrossFit Watertown for writing the:
'CrossFit Affiliate Declaration of Independence'
We are CrossFit affiliates. United in purpose and devoted in action to the spread of functional fitness throughout our world.
We believe in high-intensity exercise designed to increase work capacity across broad time and modal domains.If we don’t really understand what that means, we look it up. And we study it until we know it like we know our middle names. More work faster. Every day.
We believe in the importance of the Workout of the Day. It doesn’t have to be the CrossFit.com WOD. It can be your WOD or my WOD or somebody else’s. We don’t have to agree which is best; we just have to CrossFit, physically and mentally.
We believe in the importance of Rest Days — and of learning on those days and every day. He who fails to learn on any given day is dead. Bring us to life.
We believe in the importance of competition and of community. We can have one and the other. Times will be written on the board. There will be a first finisher, and a second, and a third. And no one will get their feelings hurt — they will just try harder next time. We can battle and commune. Both can exist in a civil and productive society. This is that society.
We believe that the last-place finisher is trying as hard as the first-place finisher. And if they’re not, then it is our responsibility to help them learn how to work harder. They deserve our encouragement even more than the leaders.
We believe in the right of each affiliate to approach CrossFit in their own way: To teach it and adapt it in the best manner for their own affiliate members. We will support each other in our differences. Bickering is for fools. We will not be foolish. We will help each other.
We believe in what works. If something doesn’t work, we discard it and pursue that which does. There is no shame in experimenting and failing. There is only shame in never trying.
We are CrossFit affiliates. We work: we don’t just workout. We are building better bodies, better gyms, better minds, and better communities. We are building a better world.

Atlee said...

We are Crossfit Off The Grid: We don't write fancy things on the wall and have a Bill of Rights. We show up and beat the shit out of our bodies, go home, repeat.

Malecki said...

is it just the deads that are unbroken or the ring dips too? that would change things a lil.

Teen Wolf said...

Just the deads are unbroken...if the ring dips were unbroken, it might be a 2 hr workout for me lol

Here's a video that always gets the blood flowing when you need a little kick in the ass, adds a little fuel to the fire whenever things get tough

Just updated the canceled sessions for EHT. We are bagging the 12pm class, and we will hopefully know what we're gonna do by 1:30 for the rest of the day. We will keep you posted!

Atlee, classic as usual!

Leanna said...

I hope you open this afternoon! It's boring with no CF!!!

Atlee said...

Great programming: deadlifts two days after snatch grip deadlifts. I don't know if I'm being a wise ass or serious. My ass feels like I fell at the skating rink! This is an all skate, all skate.

Teen Wolf said...

Usually in a week, if you look back, a WOD we do usually has the movement(or similar movement) we did as a skill a few days before hand...

i.e. practice the skill then put it to use in the WOD

not being a smartass, all serious

Atlee said...

Duely noted.

Now I get to shovel snow...

Michelle "Slick #88" said...

How CrossFit-esque...in ancient Egypt, teams of 10 men had to drag slabs up the sides of the pyramids and set them into place. Whatever team finished first or hauled more slabs was rewarded with beer...yes, suds for slabs for time...

Snow sucks!

Malecki said...

now were talking my language

Michelle "Slick #88" said...

Done shoveling aready? Must've been for time ;)

Kyle Glendon Spears said...

Joey - good video, I'd still prefer his speech from Scent of a Woman, or anything from HEAT.

Teen Wolf said...

Good call Spears, his role in Two for the Money was outstanding too...Pacino is a god, how can we forget Scarface

Malecki said...
