Carolyn snatching at the Friendly City Open in February.

Please note that our regular Saturday CrossFit class will be canceled for this event:

Intimidated by the Snatch? Haven’t been able to increase your 1RM? Like doing this movement and want to get better? Love it or hate it, every single member of CFSR will benefit from this class. Yes, that includes you.

Saturday’s 2 hour clinic focuses on the Snatch, including warm ups, drills, and technique work and is taught by Coach Jasha Faye. Jasha is a USA Weightlifting Senior Level Coach and has been involved in Olympic-style Weightlifting since his early teens. He was Junior National Champion 1992-3, American Champion 1992-3, is a Collegiate Record Holder with a 160k Snatch and 190k C&J, holds Junior National Records as well, and was a Resident Athlete at the US Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, CO from 1991-1995.

Register here or just show up. Cost is $50.

CFSR will be at the NorCal Regionals this weekend! Check the CF Games page and our facebook page for updates. We are open for regular classes Friday and Saturday.

Here’s the May Records (click to enlarge) plus some other pictures from the past couple weeks. Cheers!

From the 9:30 and noon classes Friday 5/19:

to the Muscle Up Club! I believe this was Brandon’s first attempt ever, too:

I think we’ve outgrown this board, so look for a rearrangement of boards and their info in the next week. And yes, the Paleo Challenge winners have been chosen! Blog post coming soon…

Congratulations to all of you for these awesome achievements. Lots of firsts here. Keep it coming people!

One of our warm ups last week called for a ten-second handstand against the wall. Janet refused to do it. Janet refused to even try it! A few days later we had rope climbs in the workout, and she did the modified rope climb. So come Friday, when Janet had her weekly private training session, we set out to conquer her fears. With some one-on-one coaching and her own mental fortitude, she picked up these skills and is now able to practice them. Congratulations Janet!

Handstand!

Rope Climb!

If you’d like to make a date to meet and greet your goats, or simply get coaching in movements or skills that you want to work on, feel free to schedule a private session with Shane, Emily, Majid, or Joanna. Our schedules and availability differ; just call the office and we’ll let you know who’s available when.
