Denise came in with a strong 25 rediculously high pull ups as well. Climber Power I guess =) Coming in second were Meathead # 3 in fine form busting out 27 in a row, ...
The BFT’s are here!
We have some brand new toys! 250, 300, 350, 450, and 650 pound tires! So what to do with these fun new toys? Obviously L-sits and Elbow levers! Get ready for some sledging and flipping fun. Check out the June 27th Workout - we're starting to break them in! We also now have a few gym challenges: How high of a tire jump can you do? Standing?, with a running start? What is the heaviest tire you can flip? How high can you get the 650 tire stacked (ie on the 450? on the 450 and 300?, etc...) how fast can you flip the 250 around ...

The Meathead Challenge…
So after the amazing barbell cert on the weekend a few of us have been inspired to get REALLY STRONG. The defining moment I think was Hearing Coach Rippetoe explain that 114 lbs teenage Texan girls were lifting more than most of the participants (Think 350lbs plus Deadlifts) - I see this as a problem. So we have decided that we will hold a challenge over the next 8 weeks. We want to see how Strong we can get and How much useful functional Muscle we can build (ie getting bigger without getting stronger pound for pound is failure) in ...
Fun with the Slackline
As we all know (your cue to nod...) Balance is one of the 10 fundamental physical skills we are developing here at Alchemy CrossFit Hamilton. Working on a Slackline is a great way to develpo balance - with the added bonus of being really fun! There is a wealth of information available about Slacklining on the web; here are a few good sources.
