I wanted to take some time this afternoon to talk about the importance of accessory work. If you haven’t yet, you may want to think about adding some accessory exercises to your normal workout routine! Accessory exercises are ones that we perform other than the main barbell lifts such as the classic back squat, deadlift, […]
Monday 500m Row test! A couple of weeks ago we tested our 1000m row, so I wanted to build off of that and see where our 500m rows were at. For Part C, I wanted to give options for people who feel like they didn’t get enough “cardio” in Part A with the :45 Max […]

This one’s for you Art! Shout out to you buddy! As most of you know, Art suffered an achilles injury and just had surgery not too long ago. You may have seen JB’s Instagram post earlier this week of Art on his legit scooter, or you may have seen him zipping around on it in […]
And in just a little over a month, the CrossFit Team Series is back! I’ve participated the past 2 years and I can say that it was a blast each time!! It’s always fun working as a team, strategizing, and really coming together over the course of the competition to crush each workout. Although when I’ve participated […]
You have 15 pull ups left in your workout and you do a set of 10…5 pull ups left. Are you one of those people who takes a TREK to the nearest chalk bucket, or are you the one who doesn’t think twice and goes right back to it? 2 clean & jerks left and […]
