Each burpee must be performed perpendicular to and facing the barbell. Your head cannot be over the barbell. The chest and thighs touch the ground at the bottom. You must jump over the barbell from both feet and land on both feet. One-footed jumping or stepping over is not permitted. The next rep will then begin on the opposite side facing the barbell.

Based on recent insanity, we are adding a 4:45pM Class time on Tuesdays, starting this coming Tuesday. This will be tested throughout February and if that works, we will continue it through May.

CrossFit Open and Affiliate Team

The CrossFit Open is starting on February 22nd. The Open is a worldwide CrossFit competition in which we will compete in workouts over five weeks on Saturdays and be ranked with over 50,000 people worldwide. It is also the qualifying event for regionals. I highly suggest you plan to participate in the Open. We will judge each other and the competition environment is really super fun. Even if you are new, these workouts are very approachable and give you something to train for. We will be using the results of the Open to help design our affiliate team which will (hopefully) compete in the regionals. Last year we placed 13th and this year we are hoping to place in the top 10!

Programming

Programming in the next 6 weeks will be geared towards getting ready for the open, so slightly less strength emphasis and more focus on pacing, intensity and longer lighter things.

RARE 10k

Additionally, we will be training for a 10K race with CrossFit elements on April 21st. It’s called the “RARE 10K” and will be hosted in Fredericksburg. Sign up now! Registration is only $35 and we’ll be sending a big group up to compete. Sign up and let us know if you are going in the comments.

Social

Do you guys still want to do social events? Some options are broomball, bar night, or Tango lessons. Let us know in the comments if you like these ideas or what to do something else.

I don’t have exact numbers on price, but in the past it has been in $6/ pound range on average, with higher prices set for prime cuts.

Shares would be the easiest way to do it – ¼, ½, or whole.

I might be also able to just get a selection of cuts and ground into the gym if we can rustle up a chest freezer to keep them in – that fridge is worthless….

Right now, I”m mostly looking to get a gauge on interest from all of you.

Talk to me in the gym if you see me, or give me a call/email so we can make sure there is enough for everyone.
