Minus the Rogue T shirt guy, David, Jake and Josh all had the utmost respectable performances this past weekend in the North Central Region. I cant say enough on how proud I am of them. Also from time to time getting to actually breathe the same wod air with these cool cats is insane. Also, much love to Kelley Jackson, Melissa Hurley, Margaret Junker, and Rochelle Thayer. These STL gals rocked it! Regionals are for serious CF athletes. It's a serious resume builder to make regionals! Respect.
Whats that?....You wanna get to regionals next year? Don't FOK around, do work like the aboved mentioned athletes did!
3.2.1.Go!

Hidey-Ho! Sunny and Fury in the warm up last week. They almost look identical. They are always encouraging each other and finishing with high intensity. If one finishes before the other, that guy will fist pump until the other finishes. Represent. Although I think Sunny can rival this world record fist pump. 

Hidey-Ho!

 Whats missing in these pics?  Give up? A TOILET!  Did you go to the bathroom today? Chances are you had to squat to do it (number 2). So why do doctors say squatting is bad? (for older folk, generally) I mean you gotta get off the pot, and most likely you want to do it on your own. I'm gonna squat my ass off just so someone doesn't have to wipe my ass or help me get off the pot when I'm older. Although, someone wiping for me sounds enticing, but I would just feel bad for that person. Save that nurse the humility of your foul immobile self, SQUAT! BUILD STRONG LEGS!. Dont cry when we squat 3 days in a row of some kind.  I'm helping you wipe your own ass, figuratively of course! Here is a good article. 

Train hard Play Hard. Thanks to everyone who came out to our Pub Crawl. Good times as usual. Im blown away by the great people we have in our 26 community. Our theme was "Drunk Girls".

If you think Mac it the only "attack" around here , check yo self. Mary Mac (McDonald) Threw down some serious bodyweight percentage on hang power clean. 3 reps @ 98 #. Women be gettin strong. 

The primary focus and cue today in the warm up was the hook grip. It is essential for OLY lifts. When gettin into heavy weights for consecutive reps, you WANT THE HOOK GRIP. Learn it and Live it on the barbell.
