I Love Cleaning
P1070504

Well…not at my house, but I think that the clean is my absolute favorite olympic lift. Just don’t make me jerk it afterward and I’m fine. We will have a skills session and work through hang power cleans, power cleans, and full squat cleans with some video feedback. Then we will get into the WOD and throw some weight around. [...]

We’ve Made a Mistake
P1070429

Well, we’ve made a mistake. We’ve gone and made everyone too strong. When we started out, the women were using the 35# kb and the men were on the 55#. Now, we have women tossing around the 55#s and the men are fighting over the two 70#s. We apologize for our error…we should have bought more heavy kettlebells!   WOD [...]

The rusty nails lost a close one last night on a last second buzzer beater that bounced around the rim before finally dropping through. We may have lost, but we looked good doing it (thanks to Johnny West). If your schedule is open on Tuesday nights, come on down to the Erie Rec Center and watch the Conviction CrossFit (and [...]

Hank’s Birthday WOD
DSCN0118

Hank. Member #1 as we know him around here. He was practically beating our door waiting on us to open. If you have ever worked out with Hank, you have probably seen him in the “recovery position” as demonstrated in the photo. One of Hank’s many strengths is his lung capacity. He just doesn’t quit, and he has chosen a [...]

Double Trouble

So yesterday, the general consensus about Monday’s workout was, “I’m sore!” I should expect to hear a little of the same on Thursday. Go after each of these mini-workouts with all out intensity. With the rest in the middle, you can really get some serious work done! Get after it! WOD#1 3RFT 7 Kb swing 55/70 6 Burpee 5 Wall [...]
