WOD Grace 30 Reps Ground 2 Overhead 95/135 The 9:30 class…hard at work! The offspring of the 9:30 class…hard at play!
What a great workout yesterday! I always love doing some of the classic “girls” workouts. Thanks for making it happen Jenny! Awesome intensity, all day long. I couldn’t ask for a better group of people to hang out with. So we’re doing some cleans in the strength portion of our workout today. Check out the video below and just [...]
Welcome back to this side of the pond Johnny and Lee! A big shout out goes to all of the Team Conviction CrossFit Tough Mudders who braved the mountains, sun, snow, rivers, barbed wire, logs, barrels, monkey bars, walls, slides, mud, and electric wires on Sunday. It was a very well organized event whose proceeds go to a good [...]
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) [...]
We salute you Johnny West! …and not just for your great keg swimming and fire leaping abilities.

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 [...]
Being a Conviction CrossFitter means that you are part of a team. It is about more than getting in your car, driving to the gym, and having your score, time etc on the whiteboard. Your actions, attitude, and words have an impact on the rest of us. We had several victories yesterday. I want to tell you about one in [...]
“My body could stand the crutches but my mind couldn’t stand the sideline.”–Michael Jordan I think Jason would second that quote right about now. So many times we don’t appreciate what we can do until we lose the ability to do it. This week starting today–appreciate your fitness! Push yourself to your limits and beyond and then revel in your [...]
Today marks the do-over of the benchmark workouts from the beginning of the nutrition challenge two months ago. To see your result from the first time around, click here. Then beat it. WOD Clean 10-8-6-1-1-1
Sometimes the WOD taxes in ways that we wouldn’t expect. We see a light weight and then are crushed via cardio. We see a small number of reps and then are crushed by muscular fatigue. The exercises, reps, weights, etc are pretty well thought out…not just a hodgepodge of stuff. Today we’ll hopefully be getting at those monkey-fists. Can somebody [...]
