FIGHT GONE BAD 6
Hey everyone,
I just want to remind y'all about Fight Gone Bad 6 on September 17th. The flyer is up in the box. There is a sign up sheet and a waiver to fill out. It is a great event for an even better cause. Even if you dont want to compete at the RX'd level, there will be a scaled level. Even if you don't want to do the WOD, it would be great for y'all to come out and support the athletes going through or volunteer. The t-shirts are going to be awesome..I can extend the deadline a little bit longer, but the organizers are going to need a list of those athletes that are participating so a heat list can be drawn up..We are looking at about 200 athletes participating..So if your interested, talk to your trainer about how to sign up..

FIGHT GONE BAD 6
I have a meeting today at 1:30 pm to finalize the FGB6 event on September 17, in San Antonio. I will have the location, times, deadlines, shirt info, flyer and prices. Just put that date on your calender. Even if you dont do FGB6, you can still come out and cheer your fellow athletes on during the wod.
Update, the FGB6 is going to be at 410 and Blanco in the parking lot of the Alamo Draft House. It will be on Sept. 17..the demo WOD is taking place at 7:45 am and the first heat will run at 8:00 am. New Balance will be providing the prizes for the RX'd workout. There will be other venders at the event. The T-shirt for the event is cool.
I have posted a flyer explaining the event at the box, so check it out sign up. I will print out waivers to sign and they will be at the box. Remember this is a huge fundraising event for the Wounded Warrior Program. It is your chance to contribute and participate in a great event.

Hot weather
I guess y'all have noticed how hot it is. So I was wondering if anyone has a frig they would be to possibly give away:) or sell to the box. I think having some cold water would be great. If so contact coach Ken. Subzero, Viking whatever. (joke). Thanks!

Hey everyone,
I want to let you know that FBG6 is coming up. We are going to be participating with about 11 other boxes in San Antonio. We had our first meeting on the 26th to start the ball rolling. I can give you some of the details now. It will be held on September 17th. It is a competion, but also alot of fun. It is a great opportunity to meet athletes from other boxes. There will be food and drink at the event. The main purpose for FBG6 is to support the Wounded Warrior Project, Live Strong, and the CrossFit Foundation. The entry fee will get you a FGB6 t-shirt and will be your donation to the cause. Put the date on your calender and I will have more info to come. We will meet again on August 8th. If you want to know more, Carol Carew, Julie and Rob Schaffer, and Coach Brent participated in the event last year.
Just so you know, there will be a scaled version and the RX'd version of the workout. I will have more details..Think about!

Great job this morning..remember on the squats you need to go past parallel and the push ups you need to put chest to floor. If you are unable to do these then the weight is too much on the squat and you should be on your knees doing the push up. We are looking for full range of motion. Also, these are high intensity workouts.. If you have to stop to longer than a few seconds during the workout you need to adjust your weight..

Saying Good Bye to a Long Time Athlete at the Box
If y'all don't already know, Rob Neal will be leaving us to pursue other endeavors in the Northern Territories.. That is he is changing jobs and moving to the Pan Handle. It is a happy day for Rob and his family, they will be moving closer to family, which is great. But a sad day for the box, because he is leaving his crossfit family.
I can tell you that when Rob first showed up and did his first WOD it was really, really challenging for him. He will be happy to tell you about it. He realized what he needed to do and today he is kicking these WODs *$%! all over the place. He will find another box up there, hit it hard and do us proud.
We are having a going away party at the Stone Creek Clubhouse on June 2nd starting at 5:00 pm. Coach Laura has been putting it together and much thanks to her for doing so.If you have any questions about how to get there or what to bring, ask any of the coaches and they will get you an answer.
If you have anything you would like to add, please do in the comments section. I know we would all like to read them..

For those that missed it, Saturday we did FGB "Fight Gone Bad". We had Josh, Mike Yost, Karen and Elaine. You guys did a great job. That is such a good workout. It has just the right amount of exercises to kick your butt..
Karen, Elaine and Mike, it was nice to meet y'all. I like the effort and drive to compete that y'all showed. With better form, your speed during these workouts will increase.
Please keep Susan in mind as she is in here recovery from a terrible vehicle accident. Susan we need you back in the box as soon as your able. There is a jump box with your name on it..
Last but not least, Y'all give a big shout out to Chach and Aaron.. They attended their Level 1 instructors class at Alamo CrossFit this last weekend. Yes, they passed with flying colors..So will will be seeing them leading a class or two very soon.

Mondays WOD
5 rounds for time (RFT)
5 thrusters M 135 lb, W 95 lb
400m run
Y'all did a great job today.. Just remember to concentrate on your form especially when the weight gets heavy. Good form will get you through the exercise. I notice a lot of people still dropping their elbows and leaning forward when doing thrusters. Remember you want to place the bar on a shelf created by your shoulders. This can only be done by keeping your elbows high, don't let them drop. This allows you to use your hips to drive the bar up and finish the movement with your arms. If you don't rest the bar on that shelf, then you cant get the power from your hips to drive the bar up. All the power that comes from a thruster is generated by your hips, not your arms. Creating that shelf is difficult at first, but as soon as you realize how well this works it becomes easier.
5 thrusters M 135 lb, W 95 lb
400m run
Y'all did a great job today.. Just remember to concentrate on your form especially when the weight gets heavy. Good form will get you through the exercise. I notice a lot of people still dropping their elbows and leaning forward when doing thrusters. Remember you want to place the bar on a shelf created by your shoulders. This can only be done by keeping your elbows high, don't let them drop. This allows you to use your hips to drive the bar up and finish the movement with your arms. If you don't rest the bar on that shelf, then you cant get the power from your hips to drive the bar up. All the power that comes from a thruster is generated by your hips, not your arms. Creating that shelf is difficult at first, but as soon as you realize how well this works it becomes easier.
