Yes, we will still have classes on Friday (5:30, 8:00 and 9:00am, 3:30, and 4:30pm) but we are encouraging everyone who can to join us in the evening fun. Even if you can’t work out then, drop by to cheer your friends on and have a drink 🙂

Ok folks, last chance to do 18.4 today. Again, we will be running our regular program and trying to accommodate 18.4 make ups, and will do the best we can to make it all happen.

Also – we are guessing 18.5 will include at least 2 of the following movements: thrusters, wallballs, chest to bar pull ups, and box jumps, so our programming this week will reflect that prediction.

Finally, this Friday we will be hosting Friday night lights at CFM, and Resident Crossfit from Modesto will be joining us! We will have a food truck out front and drinks inside, so PLEASE plan on joining us for the last open event of the season 🙂

We come back to this one every so often – it’s a wonderful test of fitness and, we like to think, tons of fun to perform. We’ve switched up the movements just a bit (no T2B – trying to save some hands if there are C2B on Friday this week). The goal is to go AS HARD AS POSSIBLE through these movements. You’ll be able to rest as needed after each movement, so give it all you have.

If you missed going with us to Resident CrossFit on Friday, you really missed it. It was SUCH a good time, and so much fun to workout with friends from Modesto. Good news though – they’re coming to visit us for 18.5, and we are going to do it up. Stay tuned.

For everyone else:

b) 3×50′ Dumbbell Walking Lunges (shoulder rack)
*scale accordingly, of course. If you can only do 7 C2B and that’s your Max Effort, great. If you can’t do a single C2B and are working on pull ups, great. You get it…
