The box is really growing - LOTS of new members in the last two weeks.

With all these new members coming in, its so great to have a group of vets that are so eager to introduce, encourage, and help out.  You guys really are the best.

I also apologize in advance if my head is spinning.  If you ask me to do something and I forget, just toss me an email.  I want to know details on how you are feeling, how I can help you accomplish your goals, and how I can help rid you of your goat.  If you don't have a game plan, lets get one.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4:45 & 5:45 times this week - what do you think?

Is it working for you?  Is it not?  Post to comments your thoughts.

We may go back to 4, 5 and 6pm classes next week.

  • Bring a water bottle to class with you - make sure you are drinking plenty of water.  Drink more if it's hot out.
  • Ecrossfit Challenge follow up coming up soon (on the 20th).  Get ready to crush your past score.
  • Goat = A pet that is very troublesome.  We use the term 'goat' as something that you are not very good at.  Example:  "I would have won the Crossfit Games but my goat showed up in the workout!"
Post to comments your goat, and what you are doing, if anything, to get rid of it.

 
Here's a shot of the Crossfit Games workout that we replicated on Saturday - 140m straight up a hill.

Pretty much the same as what we did....  Of course, we didn't have quite as many people cheering from each side.

  • Once again great job everyone in the games on Saturday. Everyone that attended had a great time, as well as found  as well as found out some things they can work on moving forward.
  • In 2010, we are defiantly bringing a group of folks down to compete in the Official Crossfit Games Affiliate Cup in Aromas CA.   Even if you are not planning on participating but would love to watch, block out the weekend after 4th of July 2010 off your calendar NOW to go and spectate.  I've been hearing that to watch it is the experience of a lifetime.
  • Look for similar events like last Saturday to come in the near future.  Another reason to train hard!

 
Some thought yesterdays workout was going to be easy!  Nice work Rick.

So apparently very little data revealed today about Saturday - just some teasers.  Turns out that they are not announcing the actual workouts until Friday night.    Lets plan on starting at 8:00 am on Saturday, who knows what we're going to do!  I need you to go sign up now and commit to come.

Here's what we know:
We know there is great anticipation about what the events will be at this year's Games, so we're tipping our hand a little early.

Here's what we can tell you now about the Individual competition.

Event 1 is a run noticeably longer than last year's. Teaser video ... [wmv] [mov]
Event 2 is a heavy lift in a timed environment.
Event 3 is a run noticeably shorter than last year's.
Event 4 is something completely different.
Event 5 is a couplet.

Sunday will have three events of noticeably different time domains.

Besides running, only one movement is repeated in the 8 total events.


 
Riley's face tells it all.  Focus, intensity, determination.  All things that are never lacking at Eugene Crossfit.

Today at 1PM PST the Crossfit Games events and layout will be announced.  I am so excited.   The Crossfit Games this year is going to be absolutely awesome.  Better than last year.

Why did they wait until last minute to announce the workouts that will be included?  Because fitness is being able to do anything and everything.  Fitness is broad, not specialized.  So it would make sense that the fittest man and woman would complete every task choose more effeciently than anyone else. 

Once we know what they're doing in California, we'll have a plan on how our Weekend will go.  Its going to be a lot of fun!  Look for information on Saturday and Sunday to come tomorrow.

If you are available on Saturday, don't do a WOD on Friday.  We want you fresh.    We will have you do 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 workouts on Saturday/Sunday depending on what they are, your readiness, your ability, etc. 

If you are NOT available at all on Saturday, please post to comments if you would like to workout on Friday.  Also post the time slots that would work for you.    I may cancel the majority of classes.

 
Here's a small sample of our Crossfit athletes.  Not only are they both Setting PR's every week, but when Stan or Travis show up, they bring a great attitude that makes everyone want to push harder.

Man, I'm noticing HUGE gains from every single person in here - It's really firing me up.  I love it.

Across the board, you all are doing a great job getting stronger, faster, more explosive, and better at everything.  Everything.  It's amazing.

And if you guys want to push a bit more, I'm willing to help - just ask.  I've got people doing running technique work on the side, folks coming early and staying late to work on their goat, and lots of people on different specialized diets for cutting and gaining. 

 
Two of our athletes, Daren and Sharilyn. 

Daren is one of our athletes - he's improving every day.  He has a 24+ round Cindy - this week he set PR's in both the 5k and the Deadlift.

When Sharilyn first started she could hardly walk across the room without needing a rest - now (many pounds later) shes mowing her lawn (with a push mower), pulling herself on the doc from the water, and doing tons of other things she wondered if she'd ever do.  She recently took a large step with her nutrition - keep an eye on her and watch the results continue to pour in.

"I've never gone thru the end of a Crossfit WOD without coming out stronger in the other side. Not just in a conditioning and strength side - but from confidence, mental aquity, overall self esteem - that i've accomplished something that few people have endevored to do.  And it's powerful...."

Warning

Don't try Eugene Crossfit if you want to keep the drudgery in your workouts. There are plenty of workout plans that deliver little results, are boring, and don't really have a goal in mind.

Crossfit is very bothersome for people who like workouts like these.

Crossfit will change the way you think about your workouts, and by doing that you see amazing results. You immediatly learn to love to workout, to push your body, to try new things. The program you recieve here will make you fitter faster than anything you can imagine. Every client that has given it a month will testify.

You don't have to be an athlete to come. Heck, you can be in the worst shape of your life, I scale you back and ramp it up at a steady and safe pace. You'll have the results that you never thought possible in no time. And once you get there, you'll be thirsty for more. (instead of yo-yoing)

Eugene Crossfit is NOT a gym. It is a fitness school. In time, along with getting fit, you will learn technique on everything, how to apply intensity, the aspects of fitness, how and what to eat, recovery, motivation, virtuosity, flexibility and much more.

Give me a call or shoot me an email for your free 1 on 1 introductory session. Lets get started now.
