Affiliate Challenge at CrossFit Hoboken

"Over at CrossFit Hoboken, we think it's time for some friendly competition. We will be holding an Event on Dec 20th at CrossFit Hoboken.
We would like to invite all of you to field a team of 6 competitors and
join us. It will allow all of us to finally meet in one place and
discuss best practices and other things that will lead to our further
success. December 20th is a key date because it is the same day as our
holiday party. The party will consist of and open bar and buffet. We
have ordered massive amounts of food however, there is a $30 cover to
pay for the bar. All competitors that choose to attend may bring 1
guest. Each team is only allowed 2 trainers (as participants) the rest
must be made up of members of your respective gyms. Please RSVP. Thank
you."

Who's in??

Speaking of events, I'm happy to say that I will be working with Neil of CrossFit Boston and Jason from Albany CrossFit to put on the North East Coast Qualifier for the 2009 CrossFit Games. Headquarters has given us total freedom in deciding the workouts, point system and structure of the qualifier. It's an honor to have been chosen and I'm very excited to be working with two tremendous coaches and people on this project. Stay tuned for more updates on the qualifier as they come.

Amy displays a solid set-up position for Wall-Ball. The medicine ball is tight to her chest, her fingers and eyes are pointed towards her target and she's set in her strength stance.

Using a medicine ball for squat depth is acceptable for Wall Ball, high rep air squats and learning progressions. We don't prefer to use them for Thrusters, especially with intermediate and advanced  athletes. Targets are never used on Back, Front and Overhead Squats.
Everyone should strive to develop a distinct feel for what depth is appropriate (safe) for them.  For some, 14" will be too high while for others, it may be too low. At the end of the day, we all know squatting to med balls is easier than not, so use them sparingly.
