Clean and Jerk - 30 reps for time. Gotta have that shrug.

Starts as a deadlift. Bottom out, chest up, do not look down, do not look up - straight out in front of you. Bar travel up shins. Bar MUST touch your thighs. Big shrug, getting under the bar, then rack it. Elbows out and high.


This is NOT a reverse curl. Get under the bar.

Something New to Try...

Cottage Cheese Pancakes

Ingredients:1 egg white
1/2 cup lowfat cottage cheese (or fat free c. cheese)
1 tsp canola oil
3 tbsp whole wheat flour

Beat egg white and cottage cheese in a bowl (try to "flatten out" the cottage cheese). Add the flour and oil. Cook on both sides till golden (using cooking spray in pan). Top with 1/2 cup fresh berries or other fruit.
This recipe makes 2 pancakes

Rate Change

Rate Increase – March 2008

Thank you for being such a loyal customer and good friend of ours. As many of you know, CrossFit has continued to expand over the past 2 years and is now facing another point of growth. In March 2008, we will be dropping the rate of group training, expanding to offer semi-private training, and increasing our rate for private training.

Our newest addition; Semi-Private Training – will allow us to continue to keep your rates low and provide you with a “constantly moving” atmosphere. It is our hope that all students using this service will achieve a more-than-normal calorie burn along-side other like-minded students as you push each other. Of course, we will be matching ability levels for each group of 2-3 students during these times.
Cost: $50 session per student

Private Coaching will still be available for all students who continue to desire that little extra coaching. This is recommended for anyone that is rehabilitating an injury, needs an extra push, or just desires the added benefit of one-on-one training.
Cost: $90 session

We are dropping the rate on “unlimited” CrossFit Classes to $150/month. First, thank you for helping make CFAI a legitimate business. We definitely don’t have this whole model figured out yet…but we feel that we are slowly finding our way through the woods. One thing is certain - we owe any success achieved thus far to you … the customer. Ultimately, by offering you a better rate…we are hoping to see your smiling faces more often! Secondly, there was quite a bit of talk at the CF National Convention of creating an encouraging ‘family’ atmosphere. As you know, competition, encouragement, and successful training are all achieved by hard, consistent work. With this in mind, we would like to encourage you to come in 4-5 days/week.

Of course we will still be offering all students the same pricing on the once and twice per week options, but we hope that our new “unlimited” option will be so attractive and convenient that you will come a few more times to see us during your week.

In conclusion, we hope you will agree we are moving in the right direction. Actually, we are really trying to listen to your needs and accommodate you. If we have missed the mark, please let us know. Over the next year, we have more plans for growth that will benefit you! Here are a few of them:
More Concept II rowers
SLR Camera and Video Camera
Jump/Plyometric Boxes
Kettle bells
Men’s and Women’s Olympic Bars
Rubber Bumper Plates
Climbing Harness for Muscle-ups
Maybe even paint for the inside of the gym…..
