For anyone planning on training Friday, Saturday and Sunday, there is some running on each of those days. While it’s less than 2 miles total, spread out over 3 days, for some it may still be a bit much. Keep in mind that rowing, bike, or the ski erg are ALWAYS an alternative, even if […]
Just yesterday’s workout, while Alandi was running on the Assualt Air Runner, I told her to “be mindful while you’re running”…. meaning, I wanted her to really connect with what her body was doing and how it was moving, rather than just mindlessly putting one foot in front of the other and watching the meters […]
As many of you may have heard, Rene and Kyle are going to be moving to Roseville soon to be closer to both of their families. For the last six years Rene has been coaching at the Sweat Shop as well as competing on Team Sweat Shop at the NorCal Regionals in 2013, and 2014! […]
Monday – Even though it’s been almost one year since I did this workout, I distinctly remember it for it’s intensity and simplicity.

We’ve still got some blank spots on the leaderboard that need to be filled! We also have some “dark horses” and some “leaderboard lurkers” that I’d like to lure out of the woodwork! So this pic is where the leader board currently stands, and from now until the next 4-6 weeks we want to […]
I recently learned about a pretty cool site developed by an orthopedic surgeon who is also a CrossFit athlete. While I’m not advocating using this site to self-diagnose any issues you may be having, it is a really good resource to better understand many common issues that CrossFitters may encounter. The info is free […]
Monday We’ll start off with our weekly olympic EMOM where our focus is on dialing in the technique of the Clean & Jerk, or if you choose, the Snatch. If you’re still relatively new to either of these lifts, definitely stick with the two reps on the minute. For those with a year or more […]
As with any movement, the more I investigate it, and try to improve it, the more I learn about it. For a while now rowing has been one of those movements. For the longest time I found it boring and was uninterested in improving it, but as with many other things, as soon as I […]
Monday – While many of you have gotten some good drill work while doing our 10 minutes of skill prior to some of our metcons, this week we’re gonna go back to an alternating EMOM format to develop the fundamental strength needed to get that first muscle up or handstand pushup. If you already […]
