Workout of the Day 20 rep max back squat - this has been running for a good number of weeks now (this is the 4th) you should all have a weight to beat.  Remember, just 1kg increase still counts. After the WOD there will be some assistance work written on the board and a coach will show you the technique Tonight, there is no 19.15 WOD, mobility is on instead.  Anyone who is interested is welcome along to this class, it costs just £3 and you do not need to be a member of CFG. The CrossFit Games are under way!  Rich Froning finishes surprisingly far down the leaderboard in event 1 and Sam Briggs is right up the top!  You can follow it all here. We will be showing some events on Friday evening, more details to follow soon. September 21st : Strongman Seminar with Rob Orlando.  We have been told that there are literally just a few spaces left so book up fast if you haven't already!

WOD Thursday 18th July ’13

By |2013-07-17T19:24:34+01:00July 17th, 2013|WOD|

Workout of the Day A. 20 rep max back squat - this is the third week in a row we have programmed this workout, it's a great chance to keep track of a simple strength progression, even it you go just 1kg heavier than last week.  Give it your best shot.  A coach will give you appropriate assistance work afterwards. Tonight there is no 19.15 class, instead our resident physiotherapist Jonny Kilpatrick will be hosting a mobility class.  Open to members and non-members this class costs just £3 per person and will last the full hour.  This is a great education and eye opener to midline stabilisation, range of motion and managing muscle tightness.  Well worth a visit.
