WOD 12/5/12 _beta


wow most ridiculous looking bar and weight setup ever!

Hopefully most of you have filled in our Services Survey if you havent please find 5mins (or less if your a survey filling out weapon), there has been loads of great stuff to come out it already and we’re going to be bringing in some new stuff over the next few weeks to make CrossFit Adelaide even better for you guys.  One of the things we’re going to be using soon is a class booking system so we can track when the busy times are and who is showing up (so we can keep you a little more accountable for your training :-) )  The system is already up on the website and although we wont be using it fully just yet it would help us out if you could hop on there as of now (as in today, this morning, this sec) and try booking yourself in for a class(es) so we can start troubleshooting the system.

To book into a class all you need to do is head to the timetable page or click here please email ben@crossfitadelaide.com with any issues you have with the system.

Apart from that it is Saturday morning and its time to partner up and get amongst it!  A reminder that next weekend is the CrossFit Games Regionals and the gym will have reduced opening hours from Thursday – Monday morning, full details will be up here and on the whiteboard at the gym

WOD 9/5/12 _snatch

Chigishev 200kg snatch in slow motion – perfect example to learn from

There have been some really solid improvements with peoples snatch (insert childish giggle here) and overhead squats lately, going to hopefully continue that trend over the coming weeks and todays session of heavy pulls and presses to improve the lockout position should help continue the trend

Also we’re about to open up for bookings for our next CrossFit Endurance program kicking off May 30th, this one convieniently kicks off 12 weeks before the Adelaide Marathon, if you’ve ever had the (strange) desire to run a marathon nows the time to think about getting ready and going for gold
