Grace 30x Ground To Overhead 62.5/42.5 (A donation of £5 will get you entered onto a published leaderboard) Row 2km Today's WOD will be run to help one of Scotland’s rising stars of Olympic lifting compete in Austria. Colette Will is currently the British senior and junior champion, Scottish Open and Western Districts champion and placed 2nd at the International Womens Grand Prix. Colette has helped many of you to develop your own skills by assisting Ray on the Tuesday night OL sessions and we would love to get as many of you involved as possible. Olympic lifting is gaining popularity in Scotland with around a 10% increase in participation year on year. CrossFit Glasgow has been instrumental in developing the sport by hosting the Scottish Open competition for the past two years and by getting literally hundreds of athletes cleaning, jerking and snatching as part of their day to day training. However, weightlifting remains a sport with relatively little investment at a grassroots level and the cost to individual athletes to compete in domestic and international competition can be prohibitively expensive. Please help to push Scottish sport to a position of international excellence by taking part. If you wish to compete against one of the most promising young talents in the UK please donate £5 in the box on the day. There is no obligation to sponsor and the WODs will run as normal but we would be very grateful if you could help fly the flag for a [...]

WOD A: 3x3 Max Effort Front Squat B: 150 Overhead walking lunges with 20/15kg plate Every 5 minutes complete 1 block run Announcements This week sees a return to regular programming: Thank you all for your involvement during the Games. The showers will be out of service today but should be back in use tomorrow. Thank you for your patience while we refurbished the facilities: I can assure you that you won't be disappointed. Our new rig should be with us in the next 2 weeks - perhaps not that relevant right now but it should be sweet. End of the Open The CrossFit Games Open has come to a close after 5 weeks of speculation, anticipation and hard work. The gym was packed out every weekend with the amazing support and the dedication of our own athletic community and it is testament to the ethos that pervades CrossFit Glasgow that we closed out the games as the largest team in Europe and the only European team to make the top 10 largest teams in the world. We will endeavour to make CFG a world force every year from here on in through our ongoing participation in the CrossFit community at large and by continuing to develop our athletes, our coaching and our facility as world leaders in the sport. The Open is a huge part of our annual calendar and we hope that you have all enjoyed being a part of it. Whether this is your 3rd year or [...]
