Great job at Eva yesterday guys and gals.  We had so many strong performances yesterday. 

Check out this video, especially watch the last 10 seconds....

And here is my comments from when I did Eva in February by myself.
2/27/08 - 49:49 - subbed 1.5 pood KB - all the rest as RX'd  Holy smokes, 3 blisters on each hand.  The most pullups and swings I ever did in 1 workout though.  I feel like my arms are going to fall off.

* - the more asterisks, the more 1 on 1 coaching you are likely to receive.  If you have an open schedule, try to gravitate to the times with more asterisks.


Clean and Jerk 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps

If your clean isn't developed, we'll work on fundamentals leading up to Clean and Jerk (i.e. Deadlift, front squat, clean with light weight, press, shoulder press etc.)

Post loads to comments.

Announcement: (Must read)

I'm going to be adding a lot of stuff to the warmup, including fundamental skill work, a challenge, flexibility work, and technique work thru and thru.  This means:

  • You're going to see progress at an increased pace.
  • We're going to be spending time on technique and practice before the workout.
  • If you can do the workout at home, thats ok.  (for example, burpees today)  However, you are not going to get the additional skill work / technique / stretching / coaching that you would get if you were to come.
  • On the day (one evening and one morning) that I'm not here, your not going to get as much skill work.  
      • I'm going to have two workouts for when I'm here and not here.  For example: next week on Tuesday there will be two workouts.  One workout to do when the coach is present, one workout to do if he's not.  The coach workout may include more technical work and a more detailed warmup.  The non-coach workout will be more basic, and you'll do the regular Crossfit Warmup x 3 before you start.
      • This is because I value you and
            1. I Don't want to reinforce bad habits on form
            2. I Don't want injuries
            3. I Want you to push yourself as hard as possible
            4. I need to see your weaknesses and strengths as much as possible
            5. Growth, Growth, Growth
            6. Heck, I just love seeing you guys.

Kathy loves burpees.

A few things:
  • Make sure to post your Thanksgiving Contest results if you did it.  The winner will be declared soon.
  • I am going to be sometimes varying from the Crossfit.com WOD. I've been giving it a lot of thought - While I can't compete with the programming of Crossfit.com for getting the fit fitter, I know what you guys need as as individuals and as a group and I think we can make more progress quicker if some adjustments were made to specifically address our strengths and weaknesses.
  • I'll be adding some new times on some days.  I'll start posting the times the night before.  6AM and 6PM will stay, but others may be included.
  • Theres been a lot less recruiting over the last month.   Don't worry about it being too crowded, I will open more new times to make room available.  And once we meet capacity, we'll move out into a box.  (Thats only like 1-2 more people for everyone thats coming.

A couple things:
  • I'm back - its good to be back! 
  • New equipment scheduled to arrive Thursday afternoon!  Woot!
  • Still looking for a good logo.  I was thinking that a duck doing crossfit might be a fun idea.  Could be similar to the pukie picture or the pictures on rivalart.com  with some rings/olympic bars....   I don't know??  I'm not an artist. Post ideas to comments!
  • I'll be passing out a survey within the next couple days.  Included will be some questions on opening a new time slot 3 or 4 times during the week.

11-6-08.jpgNice job Eric, Debbie, KAthy, Heather, Valarie and Emilee.  From what I've seen, a lot of you need to work on:
  • Front Squat (!!!)
  • Hamstring Flexibility
  • Wrist Flexibility
  • Pushing knees out (especially as the load gets heavy)

Information

Current times are M-Fri 6am, M-Thur 6pm, Sat 10am
New times coming soon.
If you're new, email me so we can meet 1 on 1.
Call or email me if you have any questions.

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, how to coach your fellow mates, 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.
