For those of you who missed the snow day at Arapahoe Basin, you missed a good time. The snow was great, the weather was amazing, the food was ample, and the PBR martinis were definitely something new. I learned a valuable lesson about sunscreen as well: reapply! Pay no attention to the redness and skin flaking from my face. [...]
Everybody has said at some point in their life that “it’s a good hurt.” Is there really any such thing? Today we’re going to experience a different kind of hurt than the usual CrossFit trauma. Michael is going to be taking us through a mobility wod where we will stretch and use lacrosse balls to really pinpoint hotspots and areas [...]
The deadlift is complete when the athlete has completely extended their hips and legs, and the shoulders are behind the bar. This is completely unrelated to what we’re doing today, but I saw this picture in my files and thought it was a great example of a finished lift. Strength Hang Power Clean 10-8-6 (2 min rest between sets) [...]

Name that exercise… Strength Snatch 10-8-6 WOD 5 RFT 5 Squat Snatches 65/95 10 Reverse Burpees Remember this guy from your old gym?
We salute you Johnny West! …and not just for your great keg swimming and fire leaping abilities. We have figured out over the last 11 months that working out with you is actually performance enhancing… It’s true, and there is now a scientific explanation to give merit this theory: Right at that point during a wod when you feel [...]
Another great week here at CCF! Everyone made it thru some pretty challenging movements without giving up or giving in to the soreness. You make us proud! One thing that we really value here is the social time after the WODs. We love the camaraderie that everyone has with each other and it’s just a great feeling to see [...]
WOD: 2 rounds of AMRAP 6 8 reverse wall balls 10/20 (touch ball to ground) 10 toes to bar three minutes rest between rounds
We’ve all had that moment following a workout when we’ll grab onto just about anything to keep us from shaking uncontrollably. After the 5 rounds of 5 thrusters, 5 pullups, and 5 burpees Andy was even willing to grab onto the wretched thing that caused him the pain. I’m not really going anywhere with this narrative, I just thought it [...]
Jody said something extremely smart yesterday. She said, “I can go for 6 miles no problem, but don’t ask me to run ten 110′s. That’s hard!” That’s the difference between jogging and actually running.
