Saying Good Bye to a Long Time Athlete at the Box

If y'all don't already know, Rob Neal will be leaving us to pursue other endeavors in the Northern Territories.. That is he is changing jobs and moving to the Pan Handle. It is a happy day for Rob and his family, they will be moving closer to family, which is great. But a sad day for the box, because he is leaving his crossfit family.

I can tell you that when Rob first showed up and did his first WOD it was really, really challenging for him. He will be happy to tell you about it. He realized what he needed to do and today he is kicking these WODs *$%! all over the place. He will find another box up there, hit it hard and do us proud.

We are having a going away party at the Stone Creek Clubhouse on June 2nd starting at 5:00 pm. Coach Laura has been putting it together and much thanks to her for doing so.If you have any questions about how to get there or what to bring, ask any of the coaches and they will get you an answer.

If you have anything you would like to add, please do in the comments section. I know we would all like to read them..

Remember, to have a solid OHS you need to have a solid air squat. If your air squat is not solid then you have to go light on the weight. This is a midline stabilization exercise.

Remember these are high intensity workouts. The push press is a quick movement. You have to dip/drive violently with those hips. There is no pause at the bottom of the dip. Hollow rocks, your hands and feet should only be a 1 foot off the floor. Not over your head!:)

For those that missed it, Saturday we did FGB "Fight Gone Bad". We had Josh, Mike Yost, Karen and Elaine. You guys did a great job. That is such a good workout. It has just the right amount of exercises to kick your butt..

Karen, Elaine and Mike, it was nice to meet y'all. I like the effort and drive to compete that y'all showed. With better form, your speed during these workouts will increase.

Please keep Susan in mind as she is in here recovery from a terrible vehicle accident. Susan we need you back in the box as soon as your able. There is a jump box with your name on it..

Last but not least, Y'all give a big shout out to Chach and Aaron.. They attended their Level 1 instructors class at Alamo CrossFit this last weekend. Yes, they passed with flying colors..So will will be seeing them leading a class or two very soon.

Mondays WOD

5 rounds for time (RFT)

5 thrusters M 135 lb, W 95 lb
400m run

Y'all did a great job today.. Just remember to concentrate on your form especially when the weight gets heavy. Good form will get you through the exercise. I notice a lot of people still dropping their elbows and leaning forward when doing thrusters. Remember you want to place the bar on a shelf created by your shoulders. This can only be done by keeping your elbows high, don't let them drop. This allows you to use your hips to drive the bar up and finish the movement with your arms. If you don't rest the bar on that shelf, then you cant get the power from your hips to drive the bar up. All the power that comes from a thruster is generated by your hips, not your arms. Creating that shelf is difficult at first, but as soon as you realize how well this works it becomes easier.
