Workout time:  NOON only
Also note that yesterday (new years eve) the 6pm was canceled.

A few changes beginning 2009:
  • Optional one on one sessions (1x a month) available to help with goals, form issues and weaknesses, diet, etc....  These will be just me and you and included with your membership dues.  Schedule these a week in advance with me either in person or email.
  • Open 5 days a week instead of 6.  The day off will usually be in the middle of the week when I have to travel for business.  (For example:  Only an AM workout time on Tuesday and a PM on Wednesday).   Among other reasons, I'm concerned about my athletes getting injured.
  • In the process of adding some 'apprentices.' Basically these folks will be learning, over the course of the next 8-16 months how to coach and train.  I haven't figured out all the details, just keep in mind its in the works.  If this is something you're interested in, let me know.
Also please email me your nomination for the 2008 eCrossfit MVP.  They will receive a good looking badge for their profile.  Please include in the email a reason or two on why you voted for this person.  And voting for Coach is not allowed!! haha

Letha, Kristine, Stec, Eric Squat Crossfit Total from Jeremy Stecker on Vimeo.

Here's a video of Letha, Kristine, Stec, and Eric doing some squats - check your form and see what you can do to improve it.  At max loads and in this video
here we can see a lot of our core getting soft and back rounding a bit.  Also can note the heads going up which makes pushing our hips up much more difficult.  We worked a lot of squat depth today and I'm RXing everyone to use a ball this week for all your squats to make sure you get to the right depth. Don't sit on the ball, lightly brush it.  And make sure its a ball thats height has you slightly below parrallel.

Eric - 725 (new pr by 100 lbs!) ([Squat - 295, 295, 300], [Press 115, 120, 115], [Dead 295, 315, 320])
Stec - No number because can't do Deadlift (broken hand) (Squat 295, 310, 305) (Press 145, 165, 155)
Letha - 290 ([Squat - 95, 95, 100], [Press 50, 75, 65], [Dead 125, 130, 130]) (First time, nice!)
Kristine 270 ([Squat - 75, 80, 85], [Press 55, 65, 60], [Dead 115, 120, 125]) (85 lb improvement!)

"Tabata Something Else"

Diana Letha and Michelle, check your form on the Bear Complex the other day.  The power hang cleans look pretty good, but check the squat depth on the front squats.  Something we need to work on.  This is towards the final round so your pretty tired, but a lot of the front squat reps have a long way to go before they're below parallel.

Recruits:
Kathy - 266 (24green pullups, 52 pushups (6 rounds knee), 81 abmat situps feet unanchored hands in front, 109 squats)
Michelle - 298 (58 pullups (green), 66 knee pushups, 81 situps, 93 squats) <-- work on depth here on these squats!
Kristine - 242 (50 pullups (black), 51 pushups knee, 50 situps, 91 squats)

Catching up...

aprildead.jpgThis is April deadlifting for the first time.  Nice work April!  April made great progress on the first day and we ramped her up because of good form.  As we got a bit heavier, you can see the bar come slightly away from her body as she doesn't quite keep the hammies loaded.  The back is also slightly rounded.

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.
