At the conclusion of the Open, Helen, Mo, Jacqueline, Lisa, and Lones all finished in the top 200 worldwide and earned a chance to qualify for the CF Games through 4 workouts in the Master’s Qualifiers.

A couple posts ago, Daniel James Lynam did a pretty legit post on shoulder stability. If you haven’t gotten the chance to check it out, you can do so here! Anyway, I wanted to segue off of DJ’s post and talk a little about knee stability. The knee joint is considered a “hinge” joint. Think of […]
With Clean and Jerks coming up this Friday I think this is a good opportunity to re-visit the clean, since we usually talk about the split jerk more often. While the clean is not as technical as the split jerk and tends to not be the limiting factor for most people, if it is executed […]

Great job to everyone that came out for the 5K this past Saturday. We couldn’t have asked for better weather! Also, with such a great turnout, and the ever present need to improve our conditioning game, expect another 5K in the not so distant future! Up next however, for events, will be our BBQ and […]
