Needless to say it was an incredible weekend. We received phenomenal instruction from all the trainers and had the honor of having Coach Glassman speak at length about a variety of experiences. Hosting a Level 1 certification has been a goal of mine since the park days and after this weekend it's safe to say that it will not be our last. A big thanks to Pat, EC, Adrian, Rob, Chuck, Maggie and Jason for the amazing job that they did with the cert, everyone I talked to came away informed, energized and with a clearer understanding of why it is we do what we do. I'd also like to congratulate all the new Level 1 CrossFit trainers and encourage them to come back to our box anytime, we loved having you and hope to see you all again soon. Finally, I want to thank the incredible group of people at CFSBK who made this all possible. Shane, Jacinto, Margie, Jeremy, and everyone else involved not only with the cert but with our community at large should feel proud to be part of something very special. You guys have all changed my life and I feel completely honored to be your coach.

Needless to say SBK represented well at the event. Sal had an amazing showing and took 2nd place overall. His time on the first WOD was 7:27 and 9:11 on the second for a total time of 16:38. The entire event was a great time where we got to make new friends, compete against them and then enjoy a Zone Friendly catered lunch and dinner. I strongly encourage everyone to come out to CrossFit events when they come up, they're always a lot of fun and a great way to gauge your fitness against a wider pool of athletes.

This weekend Jeremy, Sal and myself will be participating in the Mid-Atlantic Hopper Challenge. CrossFit events like these are a great opportunity to compete with new people in a new environment. I encourage everyone to step out of their comfort zone and plan on competing in the next challenge that comes up.

What better way to spend a Wednesday night than Deadlifting and hanging out with friends?
CFSBK GYM ETIQUETTE pt. 3
Respect Weight, Respect the Movement.
As CrossFitters we pride ourselves on using functional movements to develop our strength and conditioning. We poke fun at typical gym-goers and their 'interpretations' of classic movements like the back squat and deadlift. All too often however that last pull on "Diane" or that 3rd round of Sumo Deadlift High Pulls on "Fight Gone Bad" can be unacceptably compromised for the sake of getting a better score. It's true that at high intensity technical perfection is impossible to maintain but certain boundaries must be established to ensure your safety and the preservation mechanical functionality. These movements are POTENT, their returns in fitness are unparalleled and therefore must be respected. At CFSBK we stress that the rx'd loads are there as guides for you to determine what kind of workout it is rather than something set in stone. We're also of the contention that a sloppy ass clean or back squat is not PR material and big weights shouldn't be approached until consistency with the movement has been established. Take your time, practice the movements, practice them some more, THEN jump into the fire.
